Frequently Asked Questions - UVC Fluval

How to install the Fluval UVC Clarifier on an existing external filter?

Unplug the filter and the UVC device. Make sure the housing and hoses are empty. Connect the supplied ribbed hose between the filter outlet and the clarifier inlet, then connect the clarifier outlet to the return hose to the aquarium. Use the lock nuts to tighten. Install the device in a dry position, below the water surface of the aquarium for optimal flow.

How to use the timer of the Fluval UVC?

Plug the timer into the power supply, then connect it to the base of the clarifier. For continuous operation, press the on/off button (green light). For intermittent operation, press the timer button repeatedly to choose 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 hours (blue light). In case of power outage, settings are retained.

How to replace the UVC bulb?

Unplug the filter and the UVC device. Disconnect the power cord from the clarifier. Slide the cover to access the bulb, carefully remove the connector, then remove the bulb from its socket. Insert the new bulb (ref. #A19998), reconnect the connector, close the cover until it clicks, then reconnect the device.

Which filters are compatible with the Fluval UVC Clarifier?

It is suitable for Fluval external filters of the 06 and 07 series, as well as any filter with a hose inner diameter of 16 mm (0.65 in) and outer diameter of 19 mm (0.75 in).

What does the light indicator on the clarifier mean?

A green light indicates normal operation of the UVC bulb. A red light means the bulb is burnt out and the entire device must be replaced.

Can I use the UVC device continuously?

Yes, press the on/off button on the timer to switch to continuous mode. The green light will then turn on to confirm.

Can the UVC device be submerged in water?

No, this device is not submersible. It must be installed in a dry, protected location with adequate ventilation. Never submerge it in water.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Never look directly at a UV bulb while in operation. Use a residual current device (30 mA max). Always unplug all devices before any intervention. Do not cut the hose. If the device falls into water, first unplug the power cord.

What to do if the UVC bulb does not light up?

Check that the device is properly plugged in and the timer is in the on position. If the light is red, the bulb is burnt out and must be replaced (ref. #A19998). If the light remains off, the device may be defective and must be replaced.

Is the device under warranty?

Yes, the Fluval UVC Clarifier is covered by a 3-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, provided proof of purchase is presented. The warranty does not cover damage due to misuse.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING YOUR FILTER (EXISTING SETUP)

1. Ensure your canister filter is unplugged.
2. Ensure your canister and its hoses are empty of water and the hoses are removed from the aquarium before beginning UVC unit installation.

UVC INSTALLATION

The UVC unit is compatible with Fluval 06 and 07 series canister filters, in addition to those with output hose inner diameter of 5/8'' (16 mm) and an outer hose diameter of 1/8'' (19 mm).

1. Insert ribbed hosing supplied with your UVC unit into the output nozzle of your canister filter and tighten nut.
2. Connect other end of UVC supplied hosing into one side of UVC unit and tighten nut.

NOTE: The UVC unit is multidirectional and will operate in either direction.

1. Connect filter output hosing to the opposite (unused) UVC nozzle and tighten nut.
2. To ensure maximum flow, DO NOT install UVC unit above the aquarium water line. To make sure the output hose reaches the aquarium with no kinks or loops, trial mount the UVC unit and hose before making any final cuts or holes. NOTE: The UVC unit is supplied with (2) mounting screws for easy installation.
3. Attach filter output and intake assembly to aquarium (Refer to filter manual for proper installation).
4. Prime your canister filter.
5. Plug in your canister filter to electrical outlet and ensure that water is flowing in and out of the canister filter.
6. Plug in the UVC unit to electrical outlet.

To install, connect timer power supply to timer, and then the timer to the base of UVC unit as shown in the image.

To run UVC unit continuously:

Press the timer Power button. The Operating Status light should illuminate in Green to indicate normal functionality.

To run the UVC unit intermittently:

After turning the timer power on, continue pressing the Stopwatch button to cycle through the various operating time periods: 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours. A Blue light will appear next to the operating time currently engaged.

Operating Status Light:

This indicates the life cycle of the UVC bulb/unit. A Green light represents proper UVC bulb functionality. A Red light designates the bulb has expired, requiring complete UVC unit replacement.

Power Interruption:

If the timer is unplugged or endures a power failure, the UVC unit will revert to the same operating time that was initially selected once it is reconnected to a power source. For example, if the timer was set to operate for 4 hours within a 24-hour period, it will continue to operate for 4 hours from the moment power is re-established. As the timer does not keep track of the time of day, if you want the UVC unit to continue running for 4 hours as of 8 am, for example, the unit should be connected to a power source at 8 am. To switch from a specific timer period to continuous 24-hour operation, press the Power button off and then on again. This will re-establish the UVC unit to run full time.

REPLACING THE BULB

CAUTION: This appliance must be unplugged when not in use and prior to the changing of any parts. Never yank the cord from the outlet.

1. Ensure the canister filter is unplugged.
2. Ensure the UVC unit is unplugged.
3. Remove power cord from unit.
4. Slide open the door to access bulb.

5. Gently release the bulb connector

6. Remove the bulb from its holder.

7. Insert the new bulb into place.
8. Reconnect the bulb connector.

9. Slide the door closed until it clicks
   into place.

10. Plug in the power cord into unit.

11. Plug in the filter and the UVC unit into the electrical outlets.
