ElEcTRIcal cOnnEcTIOns GENERAL INFORMATION Please read the following important information before making any electrical connections: 1. All electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician. 2. All local codes must be observed. The M-1500, CD-1500, P-2000, and CD-2000 are available in 120 VAC and 240 VAC models. Be sure to install the proper model for each application. Before attempting any electrical hook-up, be sure the power is OFF at the main circuit box. Ground the ozone generator using the copper grounding lug on the bottom of the unit. Solid copper wire conforming with all local, state, and national electrical codes should be used. The ozone generator should be wired so that the ozone comes ‘ON’ when the main circulation pump comes on for filtration. This can be accomplished by utilizing the optional elctrical interlock box to interface with a flow switch, ORP monitor, timer or motor control interlock (MCI) to the main circulation pump. If the optional electrical interlock box is not used, the ozone generator should be wired to the main circulation pump’s power source (or timer if a timer is used). If a side stream booster pump is used, the ozone generator and the booster pump should be interlocked to the main circulation pump. The ozone generators come standard ready to be hard wired using 1/2” liquid tight conduit. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WITH OPTIONAL ELECTRICAL INTERLOCK BOX Note: All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrical contractor. All local, state and national 0codes must be observed.

INITIAL STARTUP AND CALIBRATION WITH OPTIONAL ELECTRICAL INTERLOCK BOX ClearWater Tech air preparation and ozone generation system CD2000 is a vacuum type and will require adjustment of the air flow through the system. On the front of the electrical interlock box is a VAC/PSI gauge and an SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour) gauge. These two instruments are all that are required to keep the system operating within the correct parameters. The ozone system will not function without a minimum of 3” vacuum from the venturi injector (due to an electrical vacuum interlock relay). This is a safety feature designed to prevent the ozone generator from operating without the injector drawing the gas into the water. After all the previous electrical and plumbing connections have been completed, the system is ready for startup and calibration. Starting Position: Water flowing in the main line. Open the valves to the ozone loop (if so equipped). Switch the main service disconnect box to the ON position. Turn the ozone generator ON at the switch located on the front of the electrical interlock box. Note: The dryer should already be ON as it is wired for continuous operation. The booster pump and ozone generator should now be operating. The injector can now be adjusted for suction. Observe the SCFH gauge and adjust the air flow using the needle valve on the SCFH gauge. Closing this valve will lower the air flow and raise the vacuum. If proper flow and vacuum cannot be achieved, readjust the bypass valve on the injector manifold until you achieve the SCFH specified for the ozone generator being installed (see chart below). Note: The system will only operate for 15 seconds without vacuum. To reset the time sequence, turn the ‘ON OFF AUTO’ switch OFF and back to ON.
Page 25
INITIAL START-UP WITHOUT OPTIONAL ELECTRICAL INTERLOCK BOX The air preparation and ozone generation systems on ClearWater Tech Model CD2000 is a vacuum type and will require adjustment of the air flow through the system. An SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour) gauge is used to accurately measure the amount of air flowing through the ozone delivery line on single speed injectors (in other words, the amount of ozone being injected into the water). Follow the directions and illustration below to optimize flow through the injector: With the pump running, disconnect the ozone line from the outlet on the ozone generator and connect it to the fitting on the back of the SCFH gauge provided (see drawing). While holding the gauge vertically, read the amount indicated on the gauge. The optimum flow is 11 to 15 SCF for the CD2000. Note: Do not obstruct the bottom air hole on the gauge. On a single pump system, the injector will have a ball valve to adjust the amount of flow. To adjust the SCFH, simply install the gauge as above and open the gate valve completely. With the pump running, begin closing the gate valve until the optimum flow is achieved on the SCFH gauge. If possible, remove the gate valve handle to prevent tampering with the setting.

MaInTEnancE Ozone Generator Care A word of caution: There is extremely high voltage inside the ozone generator. If you suspect a problem, disconnect the power to the unit at the service disconnect box or main electrical panel and immediately contact your ClearWater Tech distributor. Inspect the ozone delivery line check valves daily for water seepage and replace the injector check valve yearly. • Clean the ozone generator cabinet air filters: These filters must be cleaned regularly. Depending on the location of the unit, it may be necessary to clean the air filters monthly. On the bottom of the cabinet are filter elements (see illustration below). These are air intake elements for the cooling fans and may therefore require the most frequent cleaning. All elements may be cleaned with soap and water and should be dried completely before reinstalling. Note: In a clean environment, these procedures may only need to be performed every three months. IMPORTANT: CLEAN THESE FILTERS REGULARLY! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PROMOTE OVERHEATING AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY! • Check valves:...
Removal of the Dielectric Tubes Disconnect all the power to the system, including panel breakers, service disconnect box and main circulation pump interlock. Unplug the electrical terminal on the back of the drive module, disconnect the polypropylene barbed air fitting and the Kynar ® ozone fitting. Remove the ozone reaction chamber(s) from the back plate. Disconnect the high voltage wire from the coil. Remove the stainless steel nut and Kynar center rod from the center of the ® reaction chamber. The Teflon end caps can now be gently removed by slowly pulling straight out. The glass dielectric will remain ® attached to one of the end caps. If the dielectric tube is dirty, clean the glass with Isopropyl alcohol. Do not use a solvent that will leave an oily residue. Clean the inside of the stainless steel reaction chamber with a wire brush as necessary, then wipe with Isopropyl alcohol. Be sure all solvents have evaporated prior to reassembly. Re-Installation of the Dielectric Tubes Inspect the O-rings and replace as necessary. Tighten the end caps so that they are approximately 1/8" from the aluminum extrusion.
