Ozone Generators Poseidon 200
Installation & Service Manual

 Welcome to OZOTECH, Inc.

Thank you for purchasing an OZOTECH Poseidon 200 Ozone  Generator for your reef tank.
For nearly 40 years, we’ve pioneered the use of ozone (O3)  to achieve the highest possible water (and air) quality and  clarity across the aquarium and water treatment sectors  throughout the United States and around the world. Designed  and manufactured in Yreka, California, we take great pride in offering you ozone solutions built to last.
As reef keepers ourselves, we understand the obsession  associated with chasing the clearest and cleanest water   ossible. Our Poseidon Series continues to be the preferred  and most trusted ozone generator on the market for reefers  who value consistent clarity, quality, and American made raftsmanship.
We hope your Poseidon 200 will offer you years of enjoyment.  Thank you again for choosing an OZOTECH Ozone Generator.

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

3.0 Brief Overview of Ozone
Unlike atmospheric (naturally occurring) ozone caused during
a thunderstorm, your Poseidon 200 uses a Pulse Modulated  Corona discharge (PMCD) to create ozone.
This occurs when an oxygen molecule (O2) passes across  the corona gap air space. During this time, some of the O2  molecules are split, resulting in free” oxygen atoms. These  free, unstable oxygen atoms quickly attach to themselves  to create ozone (O3). It is the extra oxygen atom that gives ozone its superior oxidation capabilities in water and air.

Setup, Installation & Maintenance

With a firm understanding of how ozone is made using a Corona  Discharge (CD) cell, we will now provide an overview of your  new Poseidon 200 with a description of what’s inside, common  installations, and how it should be routinely cared for to operate  effectively.
4.1. Poseidon 200 Setup
Operating Requirements

• Voltage = (Specified) 11.7 VDC to 13.9 VDC
• Power Consumption = 600 ma @12vdc (7.2 watts) nominal
• Maximum pressure of 5 PSI
• Ideal airflow rate 2-10 Standard Cubic Feet per Hour (SCFH) External Mounting
  Mount your Poseidon 200 Ozone Generator in an area free of  airborne dust and moisture. The ideal location is inside of a utility/ electrical cabinet, or the dry side of your aquarium stand to remain  cool, dry, and clean.

In Service Date Field
Before mounting, please fill in the “In Service Date” field on the  back of the Poseidon 200 with the date you first placed the  Poseidon into service. This date will serve as the maintainence  service reference date.
Internal Considerations
For optimal performance keep the inside of the generator chas is clean and dry. Dust particles and condensation (salt creep) can  pose a significant challenge to the consistent operation of the  ozone generator. Three, bi- directional keyholes are available in the  chassis base for mounting

Air Dryer Series
Incredible quality and value in an ozone feed air treatment  line that provides flawless service and performance. The air  dryer line removes moisture from the air going into the ozone  generator while dry air reduces the buildup of nitric acid in  the ozone generator to increase ozone production.

4.3. How to Properly Power up and Tune the Poseidon 200

1. Connect an air preparation device (such as the  OZOTECH DI air dryer 2.0, IQ-20, or IQ-40) outlet  tubing to the air input tubing of the Poseidon 200  Ozone Generator.
2. Connect ozone output tubing, with in line check  valve, to appropriate ozone injection device – i.e.,  skimmer or reactor.
3. Connect power to the DC jack at the back of the  unit and turn the power adjustment knob to the right  turning the power on. The light will turn on and power  is flowing.
4. Start low (1-3) and use a redox (ORP) probe to  determine the value pre-ozone and post-ozone. To  achieve your desired ORP range, (~350-385) slowly  adjust the knob to the right until the desired redox  value is achieved.
   Noteworthy:

• Outside the safe ORP range (~350-385) could cause  respiratory damage to your fish due to heightened levels of  ozone, and  equipment that is not ozone resistant. It is best  practice to run ozone for short periods of time on a controller.
• An ozone abatement solution such as the use of granulated  active carbon (GAC) or similar is advised to reduce residual  ozone.

4.4. Poseidon Servicing & Maintenance
A visual inspection of your Poseidon 200 should be done  monthly to ensure there’s been no salt creep or damage due to  it being around a reef tank. Should the cell become plugged with  nitric byproducts or if water backs into the cell, it could cause a  catastrophic electrical failure. Proper air preparation can usually  avoid the build-up of nitrous.
CAUTION: Disconnect ozone generator from    power supply before performing any maintenance.
To service the Poseidon 200, the following steps can be taken:

• Disconnect unit from power source (back of the unit).
• Remove top cover by removing four press-in rivets  (bottom of unit).
• Inspect the inside of the generator for dust and/or moisture.
• Thoroughly clean and dry the inside of the generator.
• Replace any ozone-resistant check valves on the air-in or  ozone gas outlet lines as necessary or at least once a year.
• Place the lid back onto the unit by installing the four  press-in clips and reconnect power.
  Poseidon 200 Frequency of Corona discharge Maintenance
  OZOTECH recommends cleaning the Corona discharge cell  once a quarter and replacing the cell at least once a year. A  new Corona discharge cleaning kit or replacement cell may  be purchased from your preferred distributor or by visiting the  OZOTECH website for a list of distributors. The cleaning kit part  number can be found in the Spare/Replacement Parts section.
