Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation makes every effort to ensure that the Megatron™ Water Disinfection
Systems are products of superior quality and workmanship. This manual describes the installation,
operation and maintenance of the Megatron ™ Water Disinfection System.
Please read and become familiar with the contents of this manual before installing or using this unit. If
after reading the manual you still have questions, or concerns, regarding the installation or use of this
unit, contact our offices, weekdays between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Eastern time, at:

Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation takes all possible precautions when packaging equipment to prevent
damage. Carefully inspect and report all damage. Do not install damaged equipment.
Follow all instructions on any labels or tags. Carefully inspect all packing materials before discarding to
prevent the loss of accessories, mounting hardware, spare parts or instructions.
For your convenience, record the following information below. The model and serial number can be found
on a label located on the rear of the electrical enclosure. Keep this manual, along with proof of purchase,
handy when contacting our offices.
Precautions must be taken to avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation produced by this unit.
Exposure of skin and eyes should be kept to a minimum. A face shield should be worn when working on, or
around this unit to protect eyes and facial skin from exposure. Long sleeve shirts should be worn to protect all
exposed skin including the neck area and arms. Gloves can be worn to protect the hands.
In addition this unit's wiper system should never be utilized with both the inlet and outlet closed off from flow.
Failure to follow this recommendation may result in seal leakage in the unit.
The Megatron™ is intended for indoor use. Although it is capable of being installed outdoors, units should
be protected from the elements, direct sunlight, and from temperatures below freezing. Shut off valves
should be installed on both the inlet and outlet sides of the unit. The shut off valves allow the unit to be
isolated from the water supply, which may be required when performing unit inspections, or maintenance.
Units should be located in a dry, well-lit area, which provides enough room to perform routine maintenance.
This includes a minimum height of 14 inches, from the floor, with a preferred height of 30 inches, and
approximately 71 inches clearance around at least one end of the unit, to allow for cleaning and/or
changing of the lamps and quartz sleeves.
System Start-Up:
When this unit receives its first flow of water it is advisable to let water enter the unit at a low flow rate and be
allowed to fill with water until the unit is pressurized. As the unit fills with water it should be check for leaks.
Once the unit reaches it's desired pressure without leaking the flow rate can be gradually increased followed by
the unit power up.
Wiper Operation:
The simplest way to insure that your quartz sleeves remain clean is to set your wiping cycle to wipe once a
week. This method will normally work well on most applications. If perhaps your monitor continues to show a
significant drop in UV output or an increase in bacteria is shown in water tests you can increase the wiping
cycle to twice a week. This procedure can be repeated until the cycle time happens often enough that your
monitor only indicates a small drop in intensity or acceptable bacteria count is shown in water tests. (For
automatic wiper systems, see Programming Wiper Controller)
Another method is based upon your monitor intensity reading. This method suggests that your cycle time for
wiping the quartz sleeves be set to roughly half the time it takes for a significant drop in the UV meter. For
example: if after a period of 96 hours the ultraviolet meter drops into the red zone, your cycle time should be
set to 48 hours. This method can also be checked with a water test to determine if the bacteria exiting the unit
are at an acceptable level.
Monitor Adjustments:
All adjustments should be made to the ultraviolet monitor system when the unit first begins operating. (See
Adjustments of Ultraviolet Monitor)
Cleaning:
The quartz sleeves must be periodically cleaned to remove any deposits or discoloration, which may hinder the
ability of the ultraviolet radiation to pass through the sleeves into the liquid.
Since water quality varies greatly from site to site, determining when the quartz sleeves require cleaning can be
difficult. One method for determining how often to clean quartz sleeves would be to visually inspect the quartz
sleeves after one week of operation, followed by interval inspections of one week until fouling begins to occur.
This period of time can help determine the cleaning cycle. For example, if fouling begins to occur after 4 weeks,
cleaning should be every 3 weeks, or 3/4 of the time that it takes for fouling to begin to occur.
The ultraviolet monitor can help to indicate when the quartz sleeves require cleaning. Over time the intensity
level displayed by the monitor will decline moving from green “UV Normal” to red “UV Low”. This reduction
could indicate fouling or deposits on the quartz sleeves and/or on the ultraviolet sensor probe and that cleaning
is required.
In addition a rise in the total bacteria count in the effluent may also indicate that the quartz sleeves require
cleaning.
Cleaning of the quartz sleeves can be accomplished by using the manual or automatic wiper system. If the
wiper is not improving your fouling condition the quartz sleeves can be removed from the unit one at a time and
rinsed with a mild detergent or citric acid. Sleeves can be hand wiped or dipped into a cleaning tank and then
rinsed with water. Stubborn stains can be removed using a dilute hydrochloric acid.
Lamp Replacement:
Lamp replacement is recommended once every year of operation. It is recommended that lamp remain on at
all times since the cycling of the lamps on and off may reduce the lamp life. Lamp Out Indicators located on the
unit’s front panel illuminate showing lamp is on. A dimly lit or out indicator alerts personnel that lamp requires
replacement.
Quartz sleeves are very fragile and easily broken. It is recommended that spare sleeves be kept on hand in
case replacement is required. Normally sleeves do not require periodical replacement unless broken or if
surface stains appear that cannot be removed.
