lightmaniac Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I belive that the problem is filter blockage am I right and is there any way to bypass it or to fix it?thanks in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightmaniac Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 oh and I meant unique hazer v.1if I'm not mistaking the first step is the filter and then the heater and the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Filter -> pump -> heater. I don't know what that error means. The manual just says it needs servicing on this code. Filter is easy to bypass but I'd be surprised if that's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightmaniac Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 are you sure about the order of the parts?becouse I think that the filter is connected with a white plastic part to the heater the oblong black part (which I thoght was the heater) and then goes to the pump and so on..http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6607/jruniqueinside.jpg the big coil in the center is also a heater but I belive that has nothing with the E - 1 prob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 As far as I was aware, the filter is on the end of the pickup tube and the heater is the coil. You could contact White Light service and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if you have seen a Magnum hazer or a Jem 24/7, it is not very smooth output because the pump is a digital pump (the same style pump is used in the Magnum,24/7 and the unique). It uses Pulse Width Modulation to vary the output and therefore is not smooth at all, for the first few seconds, as the output reaches its desired level (set point). That is why a Magnum coughs and splutters for a bit before it becomes smooth... ish... The heater block is that coil of stainless pipe that is lagged with fiberglass in the very top of the unique. Its heater is down the middle of the coil of pipe with a couple of wires going into it. You can tell it is the heater block because there is a thermal trip switch in series with it and also the wires are protected with heat resistive braiding. The filter however is that brass honeycomb like circle at the very beginning of the fluid line. Its the bit that drops in the fluid bottle. I can not remember off hand if there is another filter within the fluid line. But if there is it will usually be before any pump of valve etc to reduce the risk of foreign objects getting into any moving parts. I know I haven't answered you question about the E-1 error, but I hope I have broaden your knowledge on the unique. Good look sorting the problem.

Regards Steven that sounds right so thanks for the help I'll double check it as soon as I get to my storage.still looking for E - 1 description any help would be appreciated.
