MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual INSTALLATION AND STARTUP The MIOX®1.0 and 2.0 OSG has been factory tested and must be properly installed per the instructions in this manual. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS Safety Advisory Ensure that the facility and the installation are in conformance with all codes and standards.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual 1) MIOX® 1.0 or 2.0 OSG 2) 5 foot by 5 foot indoor environment 3) 110-240 VAC 10A circuit with standard grounded wall plug 4) Saturated Brine Supply (see Salt Quality Guidelines for salt specifications) 5) Fresh Water Supply (see Appendices for Water Quality Guidelines) 6) Oxidant Storage Tank with Hydrogen Venting (see Hydrogen Safety White Paper for details)
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Connections Plumbing The MIOX® 1.0 or 2.0 has three barbed plumbing connections on the plumbing I/O panel: water inlet, brine in, and oxidant out. The ¼” barbed water inlet must be connected to the appropriate location on the included Inline Pressure Reducer Kit.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Alarm Relay The MIOX® 1.0 or 2.0 OSG is equipped with an alarm relay that provides two sets of normally open dry contacts. This relay is tripped whenever the system encounters a fault and can be used to send signal to various forms of alarm systems (audible, plant status, etc.) depending on the user’s preference.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Installing the MIOX® 1.0 or 2.0 1) Unpack The Boxes Unpack the MIOX® 1.0 or 2.0 OSG and all included components. 2) Position the OSG Tabletop configuration: Place the MIOX® OSG on a flat, level surface. Integrated Brine Tank configuration: Place the MIOX®...

MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual 9) Install Level Switch Plug the level switch assembly cable into the Pressure Switch and electrical I/O panel of the OSG. Follow installations instructions in the Oxidant Tank Manual for the Level Switch Assembly installation. NOTE: Oxidant tank level switches must be installed correctly for the system to operate.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Startup Tips Things to check if any issues arise during the initial system startup: Brine saturation level Unsaturated brine may cause the system to fault on initial startup. Adding more salt to the brine tank and waiting about 30 minutes before restarting the system should resolve this problem.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Normal Operation In normal operation, the MIOX® OSG automatically enters ‘Run’ and ‘Standby’ modes based on the oxidant level in the oxidant tank. The MIOX® OSG will also automatically enter a ‘Cleaning’...
Page 23
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Normal Operation The system is within the normal operating window for oxidant generation and is running correctly. Startup/Shutdown During the startup and shutdown modes of operation, the system flushes the lines and cell with water to remove any excess salt that may crystalize and clog the plumbing while the system is not in use.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual If desired, the unit may be put into constant run mode by connecting together the two halves of the level switch cable on the back I/O panel. This will bypass the level switches and prevent the unit from ever going into standby. Note this will also bypass the water pressure switch, which will no longer shut the unit down if feed water pressure is lost.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Troubleshooting Fault Conditions The MIOX® OSG is preprogrammed with a number of fault conditions which trigger whenever the system is running atypically. The faults are classified as either hard or soft faults. Hard faults automatically shut the system down and require a power cycle to reset the system.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual General Troubleshooting Every MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 OSG is fully tested before leaving the factory, but sometimes things do go wrong. The following table lists common potential problems, their possible causes, and how to resolve them. Problem Probable Cause(s) Remedial Action...
Page 27
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Problem Probable Cause(s) Remedial Action System faults immediately on 1. Brine is not fully saturated. 1. Add more salt and wait 30- startup. 2. Water or Brine feed not 60 minutes to allow brine to getting to system fully saturate.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Problem Probable Cause(s) Remedial Action Display Reads: LOW FEED 1. Feed water temperature too 1. Increase feed water WATER TEMP X˚F low. temperature to above 50˚F 2. Temperature sensor failure (10˚C) prior to restarting system.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Maintenance The MIOX® OSG is designed for minimal maintenance. As long as the water and brine supplies are within the specifications, there should be almost no maintenance required to keep the unit running. Salt Loading Salt load will be required to maintain saturated brine levels.
MIOX® 1.0 and 2.0 Operators Manual Cell Replacement In the event that your MIOX® 1.0 or 2.0 OSG needs to have an electrolytic cell replaced, use the following procedure to replace the cell and reset the cell hour counter to zero. Tool Purpose Step(s) Used...
