The generator cartridge - transformer assembly is potted to eliminate corona and increase
safety. The module cannot be disassembled.

Common faults in the ozone generator are:

1. A leak or some other failure in the drier will let ambient air into the generator. There is

enough water vapor in room air to cause the generator to make nitric acid aerosol. It is very
corrosive and causes the generator cartridge to short out, and plug up due to salt build-up.
This reduces the ozone concentration generated, which can cause the analyzer to be non-
linear due to insufficient ozone concentration. Also, the nitric acid can destroy parts down
stream of the generator.

2. Contaminated ozone generator cartridge. Disconnect fittings and run water through the

cartridge to clean.

3. Failure of the driver board.
