Features & Specifications
  99.99% destruction of bacteria, virus & protozoan cysts (Giardia lamblia & Cryptosporidium) at rated flow.
  Sterilume-EX hard glass 265nm lamps with 9000 hour lamp life
  304 SS reactor chamber (316 SS available upon request, Standard for S40Q)
  Open end quartz sleeve and aluminum gland nuts
  Audio/Visual annual lamp change reminder, Audible Lamp Failure Indicator
  Drain port for reactor chamber flushing (S12Q/GOLD & S40Q only)
  Maximum Operating Pressure:  125 psi (8.62 bar)
  Ambient Temperature:  36-104°F (2-40°C)

Additional Options Included in GOLD Series
  UV Monitor - a true 254 nm ultraviolet sensor incorporating individual calibration boards (allowed for field replacement of sensor components if necessary) - audible and visual indicators included as integral components.
  Solenoid Output - works in conjunction with the UV alarm allowing for the stoppage of water flow in the event that the sensor detects the water is not adequately being treated or in case of power failure - to be used in conjunction with optional normally-closed solenoid valves.
  Infrared Output - allows for remote monitoring as well as a diagnostic tool for service technicians (microcontroller incorporated into the circuitry to keep track of actual UV intensity and elapsed running time). For remote audible and visual monitoring of the UV sensor, use the optional UV-IRALARM.

Platinum Series

The Sterilight Platinum Ultraviolet system is designed to optimize the fluid flow path and ensure the ultraviolet light is efficiently and uniformly delivered to any microbiological organism residing in the water. The Platinum reactor's unique flow distributor ensures that the water follows the most optimum path in its region, eliminating the short circuit flow path created by uneven flow within the reactor.

Features of the Platinum Ice Controller
  90-265 VAC universal operation
  Visual UV intensity reading (reads in % UV output)
  Visual elapsed time meter - displays remaining lamp life and total controller running time.
  Constant current output over entire line voltage
  Active power factor correction
  EMI/RFI filtering (meets new CE directives)
  One controller to drive all lamps
  Isolated power source for alarm system
  True lamp current detection
  Full diagnostic check on start-up
  Separate fuse protection for controller circuit.
  Dry contacts (for solenoid, lamps, audible alarms, etc.)
  RJ-11 communication port (sensor output & future RG remote alarm package)
  Universal IEC power input connector

Additional Features of Platinum Series

  Safety-Loc™ Connector - Interlock switch molded into the lamp connector, preventing lamp operation when the lamp is not fully inserted into the reactor chamber. This connector is keyed to the reactor chamber, allowing for the correct lamp orientation within the reactor, eliminating potentially false sensor readings.
  Flow-Pace™ UV Sensor - 254nm sensor capable of detecting a low-flow condition and automatically adjust the lamp power to the water flow, resulting in lower power consumption, reduced operational costs & less heat transfer into the water.
  Sterilume™ Lamps - Sterilight's low pressure high output lamp offering consistent UV output over the life of the lamp.
