SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1A. Description Absolute Ozone® are modular generators that can be as- sembled into systems from 15 g/h to up to 5 kg/h ozone production. Atlas 30 UHC produces 23 g/h of ozone at a concentration of up to 23% by weight or as specified in the performance test report supplied with every unit. Absolute Ozone® Ozone generators are designed to produce ozone for a variety of applications such as, but not limited to: • Water Disinfection for Bottled Water Plants, Medical & Pharmaceutical Facilities, Swimming Pools, etc. • Industrial Processes, Chemical production, Laboratories, Electronic Production, Mining, etc. • Aquatic Life Support Systems for Marine Mammals, Fish Hatcheries, and Large Aquarium. • Food Processing, Food Processing Facilities Disinfection, Food Preservation. • Soil Remediation, Ground Water Remediation. • Wineries Facilities Disinfection, Barrel Disinfection. •...
-60˚C dew point. The air compressor pumps ambient air into the oxygen generator input. Then, the oxygen generator outputs oxygen (O ) feed gas into the ozone generator cell and enables the ozone generator to produce ozone effec- tively at 6 to 23%wt. ozone concentration, depending on oxygen flow, and generator type. In our experience, oxygen generators manufactured by AirSep work very well with Ab- soluteOzone ozone generators. ® • Oxygen Filter: To protect the Absolute Ozone generator ® from sieve particles in case of oxygen generator failure or malfunction, we recommend installing an oxygen filter after the oxygen generator and before the ozone generator...

SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1C.ii Required Equipment and Accessories Ozone Injector for Water Treatment Applications (Venturi): Inlet water flows through the pump and the ozone injector, cre- ating a vacuum that pulls ozone gas from the ozone genera- tor and injects the ozone gas into the water flow. The injector should be sized to dissolve a minimum of 90% of the ozone gas into the water flow continuously. Ozone De-gas Tank: Ozone enriched water from the ozone in- jector flows into the degas chamber/tank where a slow down of water flow by 2 min allows any undissolved ozone and oxygen gas to rise to the top and be vented through a bleed-off valve ALD2000R to outside or through an ozone destructor. Ozone Destructor: Undissolved ozone gas passes through the regular or heated catalytic ozone destructor that is made up of non-consumable manganese dioxide (heat-protected from moisture fouling in heated destructor). The manganese diox-...
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION 2A. Location Ozone Generator installation should allow for good access to proper electrical power and required gas connections and allow good cooling air circulation for the Ozone Generator(s). DO NOT OBSTRUCT COOLING AIR VENTS ON THE OZONE GENERATOR. The Absolute Ozone® generators must be installed in a dry cool space protected from weather elements. Ambient working temperature from -10C to +30C. The ATLAS/MAGNUM Ozone Generators have a universal ® mounting design to be installed on a vertical wall, on a hor- izontal or tilted bench, mobile cart or skied. TITAN enclo- ®...
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION Stackable Without a Rack ATLAS/MAGNUM ozone generator comes equipped with ® attachment tabs that can be reversed to provide you with the liberty to install the generator one on top of another in a rack mount formation but without requiring a rack. When ozone generators are installed in a stack a provision should be made for the disassembly of one of the units in the unlike- ly event that repairs are required. Loosen Screws and Reversible Tabs Tighten Screws Now it can be Swing the Tab into in Original Installed in Rack the Upright Position Position Mount Formation 2B.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION 2D. Gas Connections The Ozone Generator should be connected by tubing made from material appropriate for ozone and oxygen applications. Connect the Ozone Generator according to indications on input and output bulkheads. All efforts should be made to pro- tect the generator from exposure to incorrect operating gas pressure or excessive pressure fluctuations, which may lead to damage to electronic circuitry and the ozone cell. For appli- cations where pressure fluctuations are possible, we strongly recommend the installation of a buffer tank with an appropri- ate hi-low pressure switch. It is VERY IMPORTANT to protect the Ozone Generator from any possible contamination from the oxygen concentrator or ozone injection side by installing appropriate filters, anti-flood, and other contamination-re- stricting devices upstream/downstream from the generator. Compressed air supplied to the oxygen concentrator should be free of oil vapors. 2E. Remote Control Absolute Ozone ozone generators are equipped with standard ® “On/Off” remote control terminals that can be controlled re- motely by the operator, ambient ozone monitor, or PLC.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION 2E. Remote Control 4-20mA On/Off Power Remote Control • Remote control of ozone production level can be achieved by 4-20mA at 10 V signal. The function of this power control is not linear. • Remote On/Off. Remote Switch must be normally open for the generator to be “On” and closed to stop the Ozone production. • That switch has to be connected to dry contacts only (not connected to ground or connected to any voltage source AC or DC) •...
SECTION 3 OPERATION 3A. LCD Control Panel Overview Here is a general description of the controller and the fea- tures it offers: All Absolute Ozone® generators come with 4-20mA 10 V remote power level control as a standard feature that al- lows adjusting power going to the ozone cell remotely to a required level that is later automatically maintained by a control system, regardless of minor voltage or pressure deviations.

SECTION 3 OPERATION Photos of typical LCD control touch screen. The LCD screen shows the following parameters: • Selected or Expected power setting %, so you will be able to see on the screen power selected by the remote control or slider. • Actual power % & Watt going to an ozone cell. • The cell voltage V. • Current Amp going to the ozone cell • Gas pressure inside the ozone cell. • Temperature inside the ozone cell. • The LCD screen will allow by touch to switch the gen- erator on and off and to adjust the desired power by moving the slider on the screen with your finger.
SECTION 3 OPERATION • In the event that incorrect operating parameters are applied to the ozone generator the unit is switched off by the Ozone intelligent diagnostic control system, and the LCD screen will indicate which of the parameters caused the generator shutdown. • In a safety shutdown mode the generator will be con- stantly monitoring operating parameters and the mo- ment they are corrected the generator will restart auto- matically, without any assistance.
SECTION 3 OPERATION 3C. System Shutdown 1. Slide the red dot on the power control slider downwards to adjust power from 0%. (No ozone is produced at this time.) 2. Switch the power switch to the OFF position. 3. Unplug the system from the power source if required. 4. Close down the downstream Control Valve (located on the flow meter -supplied by installer) to protect the unit from accidental flooding. 5. Turn the oxygen source off. 3D. Standard Operating Procedures NOTE: To assure a long trouble-free service life for the ozone Generator, provide the following operating conditions: • Make sure that the oxygen concentrator is maintained prop- erly and is producing oxygen at greater than 90% purity and less than -60°Cdew point. Check sieve conditions and re- place it as often as recommended by the manufacturer •...
SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE 4A Preventative Maintenance Generally, Absolute Ozone is maintenance-free although it is ® useful to check the Ozone Generator for proper operation: 1. Make sure there are no warnings on the LCD screen. 2. Inspect visually all gas, power and signal cables, and con- nectors 3. Make sure that all air vents are not obstructed. Monthly: 1. Make sure that all system equipment (oxygen concentra- tor, air compressor, etc.) is maintained according to the manufacturer 2. Remove and replace or clean filter cartridges and other devices if installed and required. 3. Perform general cleaning of cabinet exterior after dis- connecting the equipment from the electrical source. 4. Using clean/dry compressed air, or a vacuum cleaner blow out the interior or vacuum the cabinet, taking spe- cial care around electronic components and wiring.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Symptom (Warning Message): • INCORRECT REMOTE CONTROL VOLTAGE Please make sure the voltage you have supplied to the re- mote control (4-20 MA signal) is not higher than 10V. • OZONE CELL CONTAMINATION. The ozone sensor detected ozone cell contamination by wa- ter or possibly some other conductive liquids. Please switch the ozone generator off, locate and eliminate the source of the contamination. While having power off run oxygen through the ozone cell for several days to dry the liquid and/ or other contaminants out and then try to restart the ozone generator.
Page 20
SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE • OZONE CELL PRESSURE TOO LOW Please make sure there are no restrictions on the oxygen line coming to the ozone generator and that the flow is only adjusted on the ozone line after the ozone generator to maintain correct working pressure, if the pressure is too low due to an incorrectly set pressure regulator or failure of ox- ygen generators, please rectify the problem and the ozone generator will continue operation. • OZONE CELL PRESSURE TOO HIGH Please adjust the oxygen pressure regulator to the specified pressure and that will rectify this problem and warning mes- sage.
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5B. i General Safety Information - Ozone Properties • Colorless to blue gas (greater than -169 F). • The characteristic odor is often associated with electrical sparks or lightning in concentrations of less than 0.02 ppm. • Highly chemically reactive. • Non-flammable, non-carcinogenic. • Hazardous polymerization can occur in some rare materials. • Spontaneously decomposes to oxygen gas. 5B. ii General Safety Information - Ozone Uses •...
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5C.i Health Hazards – Detection Levels Gaseous ozone can be detected in the air by its distinctive odor at concentrations of about 0.02 ppm. Although each nose var- ies, olfactory fatigue occurs quickly. Initial small exposure may reduce cell sensitivity and/or increase mucous thickness producing resistance to low gaseous ozone levels. DO NOT RELY ON ODOR AS A WARNING OF HIGH OZONE CONCENTRATIONS. The Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) or time-weighted concen- tration for gaseous ozone to which workers may be exposed is 0.1 ppm averaged over 8 hours, 5 days a week (OSHA). The short-term exposure limit is 0.3 ppm averaged over 15 minutes.
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5C.iii Electrical Hazards Turn OFF all power switches and disconnect the power cord from the power source receptacle before performing service work. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Operate the generator with safe access to electrical power. Connect the generator to a G.F.C.I. type receptacle or as re- quired by local electrical codes & regulations. Do not bury the electrical cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace the damaged cord immediately. 5C.iv Fire Hazards Ozone is non-flammable. The decomposition of ozone into oxygen gas (O ) can increase the strength of fire. Ozone is unstable at room temperature and spontaneously decompos- es to oxygen gas. Avoid ignition sources such as heat, sparks, and open flame. Keep away from strong combustible materials such as grease, oils, and fats. 5C. v Chemical Accion Ozone is chemically incompatible with all oxidizable materials, both organic and inorganic.
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5D.i Ozone Monitors Ambient ozone monitoring/control equipment (available from Absolute Ozone®) should be installed in the areas where ozone is being gener- ated or applied. In a case when ambient ozone concentration reaches or becomes higher than 0.05 ppm, the ozone monitor/controller should switch the power of the ozone generator off and produce a warning audio/visible signal to allow people to clear the room and to avoid high concentration ozone exposure. 5D.ii Ventilation It is mandatory that general and local exhaust ventilation be provided to dilute and disperse small amounts of ozone into the outside atmo- sphere. Federal, state, and local regulations must be followed. 5D.iii Emergency Procedure Due to the short life of ozone, evacuation and ventilation are all that is generally required in the event of a high ambient ozone alarm. All ozone generating and delivery equipment should be shut down (manu- ally or automatically by alarm) and a high-speed fan activated to dilute and disperse ozone into the atmosphere. Personnel should leave the affected area until levels are returned to below 0.1 ppm. 5D.iv Respiratory Protection A disposable respirator (3M #N95 8214/8514 - Minneapolis, MN, www.3m.com) is recommended for relief against ozone levels up to 10 times the OSHA PEL or applicable government occupational exposure limits, whichever is lower.
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5D.v Education and Training The education and training of workers are the responsibility of the end user. An effective training program must be practical, based on written work procedures, and specific to both the job site and the tasks to be performed. Training shall also include the responsibilities and responses of workers in an emergency. The employer shall ensure through the education and training program that all workers can work without risk to themselves or others around them. All workers must clearly understand their responsibilities concerning not only specific work procedures but also the need to report all hazards, accidents, or incidents and injuries. Management and employees shall review all rou- tine work and emergency procedures jointly at least once annu- ally.

SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5E.i Safety Precautions and Equipment Repair and maintenance of the ozone system shall be done under the direction of qualified personnel. Qualification shall consist of instruction from the equipment supplier on the safe- guards and procedures necessary for the safe performance of the work. Repair of the Ozone Generator could be performed only under the supervision of Absolute Ozone® engineers un- less authorized and instructed otherwise by Absolute Ozone personnel. All equipment in an ozone plant (ozone generator, piping, pumps, tanks, etc.) coming in contact with gases con- taining ozone must be maintained free of oil and grease. Moni-...
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5G. First Aid 5G. i General Information 1. DO NOT PANIC. If exposure to gaseous ozone causes head- aches or shortness of breath, immediately remove the work- er to a fresh-air environment. 2. Ensure there is no more danger to yourself or the worker. 3. Workers who have been exposed to low concentrations of ozone should be given oxygen to breathe while under the observation of trained personnel. 4. If exposure is severe, send for medical assistance immedi- ately. 5G. ii Inhalation 1. Assess the worker’s breathing. 2. All unconscious workers must be placed in the drainage po- sition (on their sides); so that fluids can drain from the air- ways once breathing has been restored.
SECTION 5 OVERVIEW AND SAFETY PROCEDURES 5G. iv Precautions Workers with a previous cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) con- dition must consult their physician before 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 concentrations of ozone. 5G. v Emergency Information Form An emergency information form (see example below) should be filled out before operating the Ozone Generator.
