2E. ORP Sensor Connection
(For optional ORP Controller) Consists of mounting the
ORP probe and routing the sensor cables.
2E-1. ORP Probe Mounting
The sensor should be placed in the water stream at a point downstream from the ozone injector .
1. Locate the point of insertion in the process pipe. NOTE: Install the ORP probe in a location which provides easy access for removal and cleaning of the probe. The probe should be installed such that the main stream ORP is measured. Locating the ORP probe upstream of the ozone measures the "pool" water . Locating the probe downstream of the ozone measures the ORP of water returning to pool.
2. Install an appropriately sized tee in the process line or drill and tap a 1/2" FPT hole in the process pipe as shown in figure 3.
3. Remove the protective cap and apply Teflon tape to the sensor threads. Thread the sensor into the fitting or tapped hole. Save the protective sensor cap for storage.
4. Start the circulation system and check for leaks around the sensor.
See figure 2
.

Figure 3: ORP Probe
2E-2. ORP Cable Routing:
Route the cable away from other power wires and protect cable from damage. (i.e. Conduit or attached to plumb­ing.) Connect the sensor cable to the BNC connector lo­cated on the left exterior wall of the generator cabinet.
SECTION 3
Operation
CD-7 thru CD-15 Infinity Corona Discharge Ozone Generator
Both (2) green indicator lights should be lit. If the optional ORP Controller is installed, it should be displaying a read­ing from the sensor probe and will automatically cycle the generator on and off as needed to maintain water quality. A high ORP (650-750 mV) is necessary for biological con­trol.
However , the system will not start under any of the follow­ing conditions:
1. If the optional ORP controller is installed the system will not start up if the ORP level is already above the setpoint of the ORP controller.
2. The system will not start up if the door is not se­cured. A door interlock switch is incorporated into the system enclosure.
3. The system will not start up if there is not enough vacuum being generated by water flow through injector. Red v acuum light will go out when proper vacuum is attained.
4. System will not operate if there is too much vacuum. Red vacuum light will go out when proper vacuum is attained.
3A. General
To achieve optimal performance from the ozone system, the pool must be as clean as possible to start with.
1. Backwash or clean filters one day before starting the ozone generator .
2. Superchlorinate pool water using a chlorine based shock treatment.
3. Test pool chemistry and adjust pH between 7.4 and
7.6. Adjust total alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm.
4. Run pool filtration continuously for 24 hours prior to starting ozone system.
3B. Initial System Start-Up
Upon completing all of the generator system connections and cleaning the pool as outlined above, you are ready to begin start up procedures.
1. Check electrical fittings.
2. Check for proper voltage.
3. Turn on circulation pump.
4. Check for leaks.
5. Check cooling water .
6. Adjust injector by-pass to attain required vacuum. (Red vacuum light will go out)
7. Turn main power switch to "ON" position.
3C. Normal Operation
At this point, the systems cooling fans will start up. The oxygen concentrator will begin operating and the output solenoid valve will open. The ozone generator should be producing ozone and injecting it into the process line.
If you experience complications, see TROUBLESHOO T­ING section 4C or call 800-676-1335 for assistance.
3D. System Shut-Down
The Infinity Corona Discharge ozone generator is a special­ized water cooled device that must be properly protected during shut-down/storage periods.The following sequence of steps must be used for servicing or for storage.
1. Toggle the main system power switch to the “OFF” position to shut down generator .
2. After the generator has been shut down, the pro­cess water circulation pump may be turned off.
3. If the system is going to be shutdown and stored during freezing weather, it is very impor tant that the cooling water jacket be drained to protect it from rupture or damage.
NOTE: Process water flow the ozone generator is operating. Doing so may cause water to backflow into the system and damage the gen­erator module and electrodes.
must not
be shut down when
3E. Water Chemistry
Regular chlorine/bromine testing should be performed as normal. Ozone will be eliminating the majority of contami­nants. Therefore, only a small amount of chemicals will need to be added - just enough to maintain a minimum of residual level of .5-1.0 ppm chlorine or 1.0-2.0 ppm bro­mine. Ozone has very little if any impact on pH, reducing pH adjustments to a minimum.

Maintenance and Service
4A. System Electro-Mechanical Overview
Refer to Figure 4
4A-1. Indicator Lights
1. Main Power: Green light indicates that power is being supplied to the ozone generator .
2. Ozone Po wer: Green light indicates that power is being supplied to the high voltage Corona Discharge circuits and that ozone is being produced.
3. Vacuum: Red light indicates proper vacuum being supplied from the venturi injector . Light will be lit for either low or high vacuum conditions.
4. High Coolant Temperature: Red light indicates coolant temperature is over 150°F - resulting from loss of cooling water flow. (Refer to TROUBLE­SHOOTING section.)
5. High Transformer Temperature: Red light indicates transformer temperature is over 150°F - resulting from high current through the transformer . (Ref er to TROUBLESHOO TING section.)
6. Water Bac kflow Detected: Red light indicates wa­ter backflow from injector into generator. (Refer to TROUBLESHOO TING section.)
4A-2. Remaining External Components
1. Main Po wer Switch: P ower switch is used f or sys­tem start-up and shut-down. Switch activates the control system allowing the generator to start up.
2. Flowmeter: Flowmeter controls and indicates the oxygen flow through the system.
3. Circuit Breaker: Circuit breaker protects the gen- erator from over current conditions. Push the breaker button to reset.
4. ORP Controller (optional): ORP controller receives a millivolt (mV) signal from the ORP sensor mounted in the process water line. ORP (Oxidation-Reduc­tion Potential) is a measure of the relative oxida­tion strength of the water . As ozone is added to the water system the ORP level will rise. As ozone is used up in the water system the ORP level will drop. The ORP controller continuously analyses the sensor signal, compares it to the setpoint that has been programmed, indicates the ORP level on the digital display, and relays the signal to the ozone generator .
5. V ariac (Optional): Variac adjusts high voltage power supplied to the ozone generator module controlling ozone output concentration.
for component locations.
4A-3. Internal Components
1. Corona Discharge (CD) Module: Generator module consists of stainless steel water jacket and ground tubes and two end housings. Enclosed inside the module are the high voltage glass tube electrodes. The top end housing (the cylindrical glass chamber) encloses the high voltage connection for the electrodes and allows for visual inspection.
2. High Voltage T ransformer(s): T r ansformer raises supplied voltage up to the voltage necessary for ozone production. T r ansformer is thermally protected by a temperature switch attached to the transformer casing.
3. Air Compressor: Compressor produces and supplies compressed air to oxygen concentrator .
4. Oxygen Concentrator: Supplies concentrated, dry , o xygen feed gas to the oz one generator .
5. Lo Limit Vacuum Switch: If the vacuum in the ozone output supply line falls below 2 in. Hg the switch will open causing the system to shut down.
6. Hi Limit Vacuum Switch: If the vacuum in the ozone output supply line rises above 10 in. Hg the switch will open causing the system to shut down.
7. Water Bac kflow Detector: Backflow detector senses water present in ozone tubing in generator . If water is detected, system will close solenoid valve to prevent additional water backflow from occuring. W ater in the generator will cause severe damage to the high voltage electrodes.
8. V entilation Fan: Cooling fan operates when main power switch is ON”.
9. Air Filter: Filter cleans ventilation air entering the enclosure.
10. Door Interlock Switch: Interlock switch will shut down entire system if door is opened. Securing the door will bring the system back into operation.

APPENDIX “A”
SAFETY

CD-7 thru CD-15 Infinity Corona Discharge Ozone Generator
HEALTH HAZARDS OF OZONE
Detection Levels
Ozone can be detected in air by its distinctive odor at concentrations of about 0.02 ppm. Although each nose varies, olfactory fatigue occurs quickly. As a result, DO NOT RELY ON ODOR AS A WARNING OF HIGH OZONE CONCENTRA TIONS .
The permissible exposure level (PEL) or time weighted concentration for ozone to which workers may be exposed os 0.1 ppm averaged over 8 hours, 5 days a week (OSHA). The short term exposure limit is 0.3 ppm average o ver 15 minutes . The concentration of 10 ppm ozone in air is generally accepted as immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (DLH).
Effects on Humans
Ozone acts as a primary irritant, affecting mainly the eyes, upper respiratory tract and the lungs. Onset of pulmonary edema (fluid buildup in the lungs) may be delayed for a few hours after exposure. Inhaling ozone at concentrations of 50 ppm for 30 minutes can be fatal. Many people exposed to airborne ozone rapidly develop a headache, which often disappears after a few minutes in fresh air.
Reduction in lung function due to scar tissue forming in the lung may occur due to long-term exposure to ozone at concentrations above 0.2 ppm, or a single high exposure. Although medical studies show no evidence of ozone causing cancer or lung allergies or harming the unborn, there is some evidence that the oxidizing power of ozone could lead to premature aging of the body as a whole.
The owner of any ozone installation should advise any person who may be exposed to ozone that those with a history of heart or respiratory disease should take e v ery precaution to avoid exposure to ozone.
FIRST AID
General
First Action
1. If exposure to ozone causes headache or shortness of breath, immediately remove the patient to a fresh air environment.
Second Action
1. Workers who have been exposed to low concentra­tions of ozone should be given oxygen to breathe while under the observation of trained personnel.
2. If exposure is sever, send for medical assistance immediately.
Inhalation
First Action
1. Assess patient's breathing.
2. All unconscious patients must be placed in the drainage position (on their sides), so that fluids can drain from the airways once breathing has been restored.
3. Check pulse.
Second Action
1. If breathing has ceased, start artificial respiration (rescue breathing is the most effective) method until breathing has been restored.
2. Send for medical assistance immediately.
3. If absent, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Eye Contact
First Action
1. Effective irrigation should start immediately. Eyes should be irrigated for 30 minutes by the clock with running tap water or preferably normal saline.
Second Action
1. Effective irrigation must be continued while en route to hospital.
Precautions
Workers with a pre vious cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) condition must consult their physician prior to working in an area in which they may be exposed to ozone. Significant alterations in cardiopulmonary functions have been documented when such workers have been exposed to low concentration of ozone.
