Step 2) The controller will only nofy you when there is a failure
mode whereby the solenoid module (and connected solenoid valve)
will be acvated. On the BWS5 system, the solenoid module will be
acvated (shung o the ow of water) upon LAMP FAILURE (see
Fig. 5). To remedy this, replace the UV lamp and restart the system as
per the direcons outlined in the Owner’s Manual.
Step 3) On the BWS6 system where a UV sensor is installed, the solenoid
module will be acvated (shung o the ow of water) upon a LOW
UV condion (less than 50%) (see Fig. 6). To remedy this, you will need
to address the reason for this low UV condion which may be due to a
dirty UV sensor and quartz sleeve, a lamp that is not eming enough
UV energy, or a change in the water quality. Please refer to the UV
systems Owner’s Manual for correcve acon procedures.

Step 4) To determine what posion the solenoid valve is currently in, the solenoid module
incorporates three lights on the circuit board (see Fig. 7). When the solenoid is in the OPEN
posion a green light will appear on the circuit board beside the word “OPEN”. When the valve
is CLOSED, a red light will appear on the circuit board beside the word “CLOSED”. And when the
solenoid is in an OVERRIDE posion, an amber light will appear on the circuit board beside the
word “OVERRIDE ON”.

Boil Water Advisory: If any failure occurs on a BLAKE UV system, the water
must not be used for human consumpon unl the system is returned to a safe operaonal
mode. If the water is used for human consumpon during this period, the water must be
boiled (minimum 20 minutes at a full boil) prior to consumpon.
EMERGENCY BYPASS
In a case where the solenoid valve has been acvated (valve is closed and no water is allowed
to ow), the solenoid module has the ability to bypass the solenoid valve in case of an
emergency need of water. To iniate this bypass, depress the buon labeled “OVERRIDE”
located in the lower le poron of the circuit board (see Fig. 8)
