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.

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 2.0.

Installation

The AIM PCS 200 is designed to be mounted vertically or horizontally on a wall, panel, or framework. There are three (3) 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.

Operation

Ozotech, Inc., offers the AIM PCS 200 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 jack to turn on your ozone generator.
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 withinb 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.

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 4 press-in clips 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: 600mA @ 12VDC (7.2 watts) nominal
• Product Size (L x W x H): 7” x 4.5” x 2”
• Shipping Weight: 2 lbs.
• Ozone Output: 220 mg/hr.
• Enclosure: Aluminum

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.

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. 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

proper electrical r equirements
Red light on power supply will not illuminate| Improper outlet voltage| Verify power at outlet
Damaged or defective power supply| Replace power supply
Unit turns on, but no ozone output| High voltage lead not connected to CD cell.| Connect frequency driver HV lead to CD cell
Water has backed up into CD cell| Clean or replace CD cell.
Cell is plugged with nitric byproduct buildup or particulate matter| Clean or replace CD cell. If not installed, install an air dryer onto ozone generator air inlet
CD cell not seated in retaining clips| Re-install CD cell into retaining clips
Moisture in the inlet and/or outlet tubing Yellow discoloration in the outlet tubing| Improper air preparation| In Install an air dryer onto ozone generator air inlet
Nitric byproduct buildup in CD cell and/or tubing| Clean or replace CD cell and/ or tubing
Water has backed up into the ozone unit| Failed or missing inline check valve on ozone output tubing| Clean or replace CD cell. Replace or install new inline check valve.
