2C. Electrical
Main power circuit: Unit is supplied with a standard
power cord. Plug cord into standard 110V grounded,
grounding type receptacle only. NOTE: The circuit must
be protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
installed in accordance with electrical codes.
2D. Plumbing
Ozone gas is introduced to the pool circulation line using
a venturi injector.Suction developed by the venturi allows
the CD to operate safely under vacuum. See installation
manual for MX-600-CD for proper venturi installation.
2D-1. Ozone Gas Line
1. Connect ozone tubing to generator outlet fitting.
(3/8" stainless steel compression fitting.)
2. Connect opposite end of ozone tubing to injector
suction port. (Suction port fitting: 3/8" stainless
steel compression fitting.) See figure 2.
Figure 2: Plumbing Schematic

NOTE:The ozone gas supply line must have a back flow
prevention device (such as a check valve) installed be-
tween the ozone generator cabinet and the point of
injection to prevent water from backing up into the
generator system. An ozone supply check valve is
included with the MX-600-CD system.
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. See figure 2.
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.
2D-2. CoolingWater
Cooling water must be supplied as specified in sec-
tion 1B.

Both (2) green indicator lights should be lit. If the optional
ORP Controller is installed, it should be displaying a read-
ing 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 con-
trol.
However, the system will not start under any of the follow-
ing 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.
Figure 3: ORP Probe
2. The system will not start up if the door is not se-
cured. 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 vacuum light will go out when proper
vacuum is attained.
2E-2. ORP Cable Routing:
Route the cable away from other power wires and protect
cable from damage. (i.e. Conduit or attached to plumb-
ing.) Connect the sensor cable to the BNC connector lo-
cated on the left exterior wall of the generator cabinet.
4. System will not operate if there is too much
vacuum. Red vacuum light will go out when
proper vacuum is attained.
SECTION 3
Operation
If you experience complications, seeTROUBLESHOOT-
ING section 4C or call 800-676-1335 for assistance.
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.
3D. System Shut-Down
The Infinity Corona Discharge ozone generator is a special-
ized 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. 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.
2. After the generator has been shut down, the pro-
cess water circulation pump may be turned off.
3. If the system is going to be shutdown and stored
during freezing weather, it is very important that
the cooling water jacket be drained to protect it from
rupture or damage.
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.
NOTE:Process water flow must not be shut down when
the ozone generator is operating. Doing so may cause
water to backflow into the system and damage the gen-
erator module and electrodes.
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.
3E. Water Chemistry
Regular chlorine/bromine testing should be performed as
normal. Ozone will be eliminating the majority of contami-
nants. 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 bro-
mine. Ozone has very little if any impact on pH, reducing
pH adjustments to a minimum.
3C. Normal Operation
At this point, the system’s 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.

4A-3. Internal Components
SECTION 4
Maintenance and Service
1. Corona Discharge (CD) Module: Generator
module consists of stainless steel water jacket
and ground tubes and two end housings.
4A. System Electro-Mechanical Overview
Refer to Figure 4 for component locations.
4A-1. Indicator Lights
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.
1. Main Power: Green light indicates that power is
being supplied to the ozone generator.
2. Ozone Power: 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 TROUBLE-
SHOOTING section.)
5. HighTransformerTemperature: Red light indicates
transformer temperature is over 150°F - resulting
from high current through the transformer.(Refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING section.)
6. Water Backflow Detected:Red light indicates wa-
ter backflow from injector into generator. (Refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING section.)
2. HighVoltageTransformer(s):Transformer raises
supplied voltage up to the voltage necessary for
ozone production.Transformer 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, oxygen feed gas to the ozone 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 Backflow 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.Water in the generator will cause severe
damage to the high voltage electrodes.
8. Ventilation 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.
11. Relay Panel: Contains control relays for system
interlocks, indicator lights and main power control.
4A-2. Remaining External Components
1. Main Power Switch:Power switch is used for sys-
tem 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-Reduc-
tion Potential) is a measure of the relative oxida-
tion 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.
4B. Preventative Maintenance Schedule
The Infinity™Corona Discharge ozone system requires very
little maintenance beyond general housekeeping practices.
DAILY:
1. Check ozone generator for proper operation.
- Make sure no red indicator lights are lit.

CD-7 thru CD-15 Infinity Corona Discharge Ozone Generator
HEALTH HAZARDS OF OZONE
FIRST AID
Detection Levels
General
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 AWARNING OF HIGH
OZONE CONCENTRATIONS.
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 concentra-
tions 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.
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 over 15 minutes.The concentration of 10 ppm
ozone in air is generally accepted as immediately
Dangerous to Life or Health (DLH).
Inhalation
First Action
Effects on Humans
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.
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.
2. Send for medical assistance immediately.
3. If absent, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR).
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.
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.
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 every
precaution to avoid exposure to ozone.
Precautions
Workers with a previous 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.
