Safety Considerations
Although your UV system has been manufactured to the highest safety standards, care must be
followed when operating and/or maintaining your system.
1. Before servicing this equipment, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Energy given off by the UV lamp is harmful to your eyes and skin. NEVER look directly
at an illuminated UV lamp without adequate eye protection and always protect your skin
from direct exposure to the UV light.
5. To avoid possible electrical shock, use only with a properly grounded electrical outlet.
6. Never perform any maintenance to the system unless you are comfortable in doing so.
Contact the manufacturer for service instructions if required.
7. Do not use this system for any purpose other than what it was intended for. Misuse of this
system could potentially cause harm to the user or others.
8. Your system is intended to be installed indoors and away from leaking plumbing. DO NOT
plug the unit in if the system or any of the components are wet.
9. The disinfection system should be directly installed into a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). If the use of an extension cord is required, the cord must be manufactured with a
minimum of 16 gauge wire and care should be taken to avoid potential tripping hazards.
10. We recommend that a licensed plumber or certified technician install the system.
Tools
• Pipe cutter, hacksaw or other specialized tools required to cut into your existing plumb-
ing (e.g. if you have PEX piping)
• Soldering tools (torch, flux, emery cloth and solder)
• Wrench (for tightening fittings)
Other Materials
• Inlet/outlet connections
• Teflon™ tape

Water Quality Parameters
UV disinfection is extremely effective against microorganisms but only if the UV light can pass
through the water it needs to treat. This means that the quality of your water is very important
in order to ensure complete disinfection.
Treated water should be tested for at the least the parameters listed below. If the water exceeds
the listed parameters LUMINOR strongly recommends that appropriate pretreatment equip-
ment be installed (equipment required will depend on parameters being treated):
Hardness: <7 gpg (120 mg/L) – if hardness level is 7 gpg or slightly below the
quartz sleeve must be cleaned periodically in order to ensure effi-
cient UV penetration; if above the water must be softened.
Iron (Fe): <0.3 ppm (0.3 mg/L)
Manganese (Mn): <0.05 ppm (0.05 mg/L)
Turbidity: < 1 NTU
Tannins (organics): <0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L)
UVT (transmittance): >85% (Please contact LUMINOR if water has a UVT that is less than
80% for pre-treatment recommendations)
You can have your water tested at a private analytical laboratory or by your local dealer. It is
always recommended to install pre-filtration of at least 5 microns prior to a LUMINOR UV disin-
fection system.

System Sizing
All LUMINOR UV systems are rated for a specific flow rate in water that meets the quality param-
eters on page 5. PLEASE NOTE that increasing the flow above this rating or disinfecting water
that does not meet the quality parameters will decrease the dose and therefore compromise the
microorganism inactivation.
If you need to determine your maximum flow rate, you can fill a 1 gallon bucket with water and
time how long it takes to fill up. It is always better to oversize your system then to undersize. For
example, if your pump delivers 8 gpm it is recommended to install any of the BLACKCOMB 10
gpm systems.
Location
For Point of Entry (POE) systems, choose a location where the main cold water line is accessible.
The system must be installed after other water treatment equipment (softener or filters), but
before any branches (See Figure 1). For Point of Use (POU) systems, install the unit just before
the faucet. LUMINOR recommends that a 5 micron filter be installed before the UV system for a
final polishing step before the water is disinfected.

To facilitate lamp removal, ensure there is enough space at the lamp connector end to safely
remove the UV lamp and/or quartz sleeve (See Figure 2).
The controller will require a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI or GFI) outlet and should be
mounted beside or above the reactor.
PLEASE NOTE: All LUMINOR UV disinfection systems are intended for indoor use only as they
should not be exposed to the elements.

Installation
Step 1: The reactor can be installed either horizontally or
vertically using the clamps provided. Vertical installation is
the preferred method with the inlet at the bottom (lamp
connection at the top) as it allows any air that may be in the
lines to be easily purged from the system.
9|Page
Step 6: Once the system has been plumbed in, gently remove the
quartz sleeve from its packaging being careful not to touch the length
with your hands. The use of cotton gloves is recommended for this
procedure as oils from the hands can leave residue on the sleeve and
lamp which can ultimately block the UV light from getting to the wa-
ter.
Carefully slide the sleeve into the reactor until you can feel it hit the
opposite end of the reactor. Align the sleeve so it centered along the
length of the reactor, then gently push it in to lock it into the inter-
nal centering springs in the far side of the reactor. CAUTION: Pushing Figure 4. Quartz
too hard when the sleeve is not aligned can damage the centering Sleeve Installation
springs. Slide the o-ring onto the sleeve until it is butted up against
the reactor.
Step 7: Hand tighten the provided gland nut over the quartz sleeve onto the threaded end
of the reactor. It has a positive stop to prevent over-tightening. A firm force may be required to
fully tighten the gland nut, but DO NOT USE TOOLS for this step. Insert the provided stainless
steel compression spring into the quartz sleeve. The spring works with the lamp and LUMI-Loc™
connector to create the proper lamp alignment. PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT install a UV lamp inside
the quartz sleeve without the sleeve spring in place.
Step 8: Install the UV sensor (BLACKCOMB6.1 systems only). Align the flat portion so it faces
the gland nut end and matches up with the half metal lip on the sensor port (see Figure 5). Insert
the sensor so it is fully seated and hand tighten the sensor nut.
Step 9: The reactor is now ready for water flow. When all plumbing connections have been
completed, slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Make sure the by-pass valves are
functioning properly and that the water is flowing through the reactor. The most common leak
is from the o-ring not making a proper seal on the reactor. For new installations, review steps 6
and 7. For older systems drain the reactor, remove the o-ring, dry it and reapply silicon grease.
Reinstall the o-ring ensuring that it is properly sealed against the reactor and check again for
leaks.
Step 10: Mount the controller to the wall so it is above or beside the reactor to ensure that no
moisture can deposit on any of the connections (see Figure 1). Always mount the controller verti-
cally. For monitored systems, insert the sensor connector into the IEP port located on the right
side of the controller (Figure 6). For the sensor to be recognized by the controller, the controller
power must be plugged in last. Do not plug the controller power cord in before the last step.
10|Page
Step 11: Always hold UV lamps by their ceramic ends, not by the lamp quartz. Remove the lamp
from its packaging. Again, the use of cotton gloves is recommended. Remove the lamp key from
the lamp’s connector and set it aside for the next step. Be careful to not touch the key’s exposed
contacts. Insert the UV lamp into the reactor, being careful not to drop it.
Step 13: Plug the LUMI-Loc™ lamp connector into the lamp. Note the keying for proper align-
ment (see Figure 7a, 7b). Insert the lamp connector into the gland nut and turn the connector
approximately ¼ turn to lock the connector to the gland nut as in Figure 9.
Step 14: Tighten the captive ground screw to the ground lug on the UV reactor to ensure proper
grounding.
Step 15: Your system is now ready to be plugged into the appropriate GFCI protected outlet.
Refer to the following section before any water is allowed to flow through the system.
11|Page
System Disinfection
With a new installation, or any time the UV system is shut down for service, without power, or is
inoperative for any other reason, the lines in the home or facility could be contaminated. Use the
following steps to fully disinfect the lines throughout the entire home or facility.
Step 1: Check for and remove any “dead ends” in the lines throughout the home as these can
harbor bacteria. Plug in the UV system and wait until it is ready for operation.
Step 2: Remove the filter cartridge from the last sump and fill it with 1-2 cups of household
bleach (most are 5.25% chlorine). Replace the sump and slowly turn on the water supply.
Step 3: At a water outlet, run the water until bleach can be smelled. Repeat this for all faucets,
toilets, shower heads, refrigerators, outdoor taps, the washing machine, dishwasher, etc. at the
home or facility. Once finished, wait a minimum of 30 minutes before continuing.
Step 4: Reinstall the filter cartridge into the sump and flush the chlorine solution by opening
all faucets until chlorine can no longer be detected. Your home has now been completely disin-
fected with your BLACKCOMB UV system ready to inactivate any microorganisms that enter the
home.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve off to prevent water flow through
the system. Otherwise, turn off main water inlet valve (and/or turn off the water pump).
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and then close the outlet
shut-off valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-off valve, expect water to drain from the system
as the head pressure in the system will cause the water to flow back down.
Step 4: Remove the captive ground screw from the ground lug on the UV reactor.
Step 5: Remove the lamp connector from the reactor (gland nut) by pushing the LUMI-loc
connector in and turning it ¼ turn counter-clockwise. Disconnect the lamp connector from the
lamp. CAUTION: the lamp may be hot!
Step 6: Being careful to touch only the ceramic ends, remove the lamp out of the reactor.
Step 7: Unscrew the gland nut from the reactor exposing the end of the quartz sleeve.
Step 8: Remove the quartz sleeve and o-ring by gently twisting and pulling the quartz sleeve.
Step 9: Using a soft, lint-free cloth or towel wipe the sleeve down using a commercial scale
cleaner (i.e. CLR® or LIME-A-WAY®). This removes scaling or iron deposits that may be on the
outside of the quartz sleeve. Be careful not to get any moisture or liquids inside of the sleeve.
12|Page
Step 10: Dry the sleeve with separate cloth.
Step 11: Replace the o-ring and slide the sleeve back into the reactor following steps 7 and 8
from the installation section of the manual.
Step 1: If a by-pass assembly is installed, shut the inlet valve off to prevent water flow through
the system. Otherwise, turn off main water inlet valve (and/or turn off the water pump).
Step 3: Release water pressure by opening a downstream faucet and then close the outlet
shut-off valve (if any). If there is no outlet shut-off valve, expect water to drain from the system
as the head pressure in the system will cause the water to flow back down.
Step 4: Place something under the reactor to catch any water that may come out of the reac-
tor during the removal of the UV sensor.
Step 5: Unscrew (counterclockwise) sensor nut from the reactor and pull the sensor slowly out
of the sensor port.
Step 6: Holding the sensor in your hand wipe the flat portion (sensor face) of the sensor with
isopropyl alcohol using a clean lint-free cloth.
Step 7: Replace sensor following step 9 from the installation section of the manual.
Operation
BLACKCOMB systems come with a feature laden controller that incorporates both the lamp driv-
er (ballast) and control features in one water-tight case. Four main controllers are available for
the BLACKCOMB systems (depending on your model). All four models feature a power factor
corrected, constant current lamp driver with a universal power input.
Please Note: While the LED or display screen is red and the buzzer is sounding the water from
the system should NOT be consumed. If any water does pass through the system during this
period, please follow the disinfection procedure as outlined in this manual before the water
is consumed. For BLACKCOMB4.1 and BLACKCOMB5.1 systems, even though they have a visual
and audible warning built into the controller, a green LED or status screen does not necessarily
indicate that the water coming from this system is in fact potable (safe to drink). These systems
do not measure the level of disinfection; they simply measure the “on-off” status of the lamp.
Please have your water checked for microbiological contaminants on a regular basis.
13|Page
BLACKCOMB4.1 Controllers
Simplistic in operation, these systems feature a tri-colour
LED that indicating system status and a 4-digit display to in-
dicate lamp life remaining. Pressing the button will change
the display to indicate total running time. When the UV lamp
is on and within its operating age, the LED will be green.
When the UV lamp is not on or the lamp life has expired,
the LED will be illuminated red and an audible buzzer will be
sounding. To remedy this condition, the UV lamp must be
replaced with a new genuine LUMINOR UV lamp.

Next, the controller checks for and initializes any optional modules that may be attached to the
system.
- UV Sensor
- Solenoid
- 4-20 mA
OR
- WIFI
- Remote Alarm
- Flow Meter

A final module screen is displayed showing which specific modules were initialized.
The controller then displays the lamp optimization screen for 60 seconds to allow the lamp to
reach its optimum output. Finally, a final “start-up complete” screen is displayed. The system will
now be ready to disinfect water flow.
Below 56%, the numbers and warning sign turn red and an audible chirp is given by the ballast
every 15 seconds. Below 51%, the screen is solid red and a constant audible alarm is given. This
alternates with a screen indicating “water may be unsafe for consumption”. With the solenoid
module, the controller de-activates the solenoid valve, shutting off all water flow.

At thirty days remaining, the LED or display screen will change to a yellow caution indicator. At
seven days remaining, the system will additionally repeat an audible chirp. Past the zero day
threshold, the LED or display screen changes to solid red with a continuous buzzer.

At any point during this sequence, the audible chirp or alarm can be deferred for seven days
by holding the controller button down for a period of five seconds. The number of deferrals
used will be displayed as below. Once the deferral expires, the alarm will sound once again. The
deferral can be repeated up to three times. PLEASE NOTE: At any point after lamp expiration,
the water may be unsafe for consumption and should not be consumed without another form
of disinfection.

System Service Suggested
BLACKCOMB 5.1 & 6.1 controllers will display the System Service Suggested
Screen every 6 months to remind consumers to maintain both their UV and
other prefiltration. This will serve as a prompt only and will not put the
system into alarm. To clear this condition simply press the button located
below the screen.
QR Codes
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a matrix barcode first designed for the
automotive industry. LUMINOR uses the QR code to store a link to a specific
page on our website. Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct
reader application can scan the image of the QR code and over a wireless
network connect to a LUMINOR web page in the phone’s browser. LUMINOR’s
QR webpage has information on how to purchase replacement components
as well as a helpful video directory on system servicing (i.e. How to change
a UV lamp or quartz sleeve). To access the QR code on the BLACKCOMB
controller, press the control button until the QR code screen appears.

Temperature Management Devices
Your LUMINOR BLACKCOMB system is designed to run continuously to ensure optimal
disinfection. However, during periods when no water is drawn through the system, the energy
from the disinfection process can cause the temperature of the water inside the chamber to rise.
In extreme situations elevated water temperature or the fluctuation in temperature can lower
the output of the UV lamp. In these cases, or if the elevated water temperature is a nuisance,
LUMINOR recommends one of the following forms of temperature management devices.
Cooling Fan
Designed for use on the BLACKCOMB-HO systems, the “LUMI-coolTM” fan runs
continuously to cool the water by forced convection. The long-life fan is powered
independently using a compact modular power adapter that operates from 90-
265V (47-63Hz). Order PN 130014.
Expansion Modules
BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACKCOMB6.1 controllers incorporate an “Infinite Expandability Port” (IEP)
which allows for expansion to the UV sensor and all other modules. Each module (including the
sensor) comes with both a male and female connection. Connect any device to the controller
and all subsequent devices are then connected into the female end of last device added in a
“daisy chain” configuration.
The following optional expansion modules are available for use on BLACKCOMB5.1 and BLACK-
COMB6.1 UV controllers. Contact your authorized distributor for purchasing information.
