SAFETY FIRST

Read the following safety guidelines thoroughly before attempting to install or operate your equipment:
As with all electrical devices, this equipment should never be allowed to come in contact with water.
Only qualified personnel should be allowed to set up, operate and maintain this equipment.
Do not use an extension cord to supply power to this equipment.
Use a power conditioner if line voltage fluctuates outside of specified range.
Unit must be disconnected from power prior to performing service or repair.

*Ozotech, Inc., assumes no liability for damages or injuries incurred by misuse of this product.

Installation and Operation

Your ozone generator requires special operating conditions in order to maintain performance and reliability. Your ozone generator is designed to be operated under a negative or positive pressure situation. Your ozone generator has been factory tested to operate at a maximum positive pressure of 5 psi.
The use of an air preparation device is essential to increase your ozone generator performance and service life. Ozotech Inc. provides several air preparation options, based on application. Contact your distributor, an Ozotech, Inc. sales representative, or visit www.ozotech.com for more information
Warranty coverage of your equipment is contingent upon strict compliance with the operating conditions specified in this manual.
1.1 Operating Environment
External
It is most important to choose a cool, clean external operating environment. Consideration of these factors should be a priority. Mount your ozone generator in the best possible operating environment that is available at the chosen site. If possible, mount in an area that is free of airborne moisture particles.
Internal
Keep the inside of the generator chassis clean and dry. Dust particles and condensation pose a challenge to the consistent operation of all ozone generators. Make a note to inspect the internal cleanliness of the equipment when you perform scheduled maintenance. For further information refer to section 5.0.
1.2 Installation
The AIM PCS 400 is designed to be mounted vertically on a wall, panel, or framework. There are two (2) keyhole mounting features within the chassis, sized for #8 screws. The use of wall anchors is recommended when stud(s) are not available. A minimum of six (6) inches clearance is required around the top, bottom and sides of the unit to ensure access and proper air flow. Choose a mounting location that permits power connection without the use of extension cords.
1.3 Operation
Ozotech, Inc., offers the AIM PCS 400 ozone generator with a variety of electrical input configurations to accommodate a wide range of applications. Configurations include a standard AC to DC wall transformer (included with purchase), a cigarette lighter adapter or twisted wire for connection to a hard 12 VDC source such as a car, boat or RV battery circuit.  Most supply voltages fluctuate, so it is necessary to monitor your voltage and assure it is within acceptable variance values listed in section 4.0. Your ozone generator is designed for simple and easy use.

1. Connect your air preparation device to the air input tubing of the ozone generator.

2. Connect your ozone output tubing, with inline check valve, to your appropriate ozone injection device.

3. Connect power to the DC power input jack (green LED will illuminate). Turn on  your ozone generator using the High/Low rocker switch (corresponding red  LED’s will illuminate).
   a. The ‘Low’ setting will produce 220 mg/hr. gaseous ozone, while the ‘High’ setting will produce 440 mg/hr. of gaseous ozone.

4. Adjust and balance air flow using Ozotech’s ‘Venturi Calibration Guide’,  available for download at www.ozotech.com/support.

Maintenance

The AIM series generators are delivered factory tested, calibrated, and adjusted for maximum efficiency and long life. Simple maintenance and appropriate operating conditions
are the only requirements to keep the unit functioning within manufacturer’s specifications.
Performing any modifications or adjustments to internal components will cause the unit to function outside of manufacturer’s specifications and will cause damage to the unit not
covered under terms of warranty.
2.1 Ozone Generator Maintenance
Frequency of Maintenance: Every 4800 hours or 6 months of operation:
CAUTION: Disconnect ozone generator from power supply before performing maintenance.

1. Remove the screws that secure cover and remove cover.

2. Clean or replace the Corona Discharge (CD) cells.
   a. A CD cell cleaning kit may be purchased from Ozotech, Inc. Reference section 3.0  for more information.
   b. Refer to section 5.1 for CD cell replacement.

3. Clean interior and exterior of chassis.

4. Replace ozone resistant check valves on the air in or ozone gas outlet lines.

Spare/Replacement Parts

(*) Denotes recommended spare maintenance parts with initial purchase. Followed by additional quantity, recommended for one year’s scheduled maintenance

Specifications

Input Power Requirements:
• Operating Voltage (specified): 11.7 VDC to 13.9 VDC
• Power consumption: 700mA to 1.3A @ 12VDC (8.4 to 15.6 watts) nominal
Fusing Specification: 800 mA fast blow, IEC 127, 5x20mm
Product Size: (L x W x H): 9” x 6” x 5”
Shipping Weight: 5 lbs.

Component Replacement

Electrical failure is usually the result of a mechanical failure. For example, should the CD cell become plugged with nitric byproducts or should water back into the cell, it could cause a catastrophic electrical failure. Proper air preparation can usually avoid the build-up of nitric byproducts.
5.1 CD Cell Replacement
Should a CD cell need to be replaced, refer to the following procedure and figure 3, in section 7.0.
CAUTION: Disconnect ozone generator from power supply before performing service.

1. Remove the 4 screws that secure cover and remove cover.
2. Cut the shipping cable tie around the CD cell. Pull the CD cell out of the retaining clips, then disconnect tubing and the high voltage wire connection.
3. Reverse steps 1 & 2, reconnect power to the ozone generator, and return to service.

Troubleshooting Guide
