Installation

Your AE™ Series OSG has been factory tested and must be properly installed by technicians trained by
MIOX Corporation or its representatives. This chapter describes the procedures for unpacking and
installing the AE™ OSG and auxiliary equipment, including all requirements for plumbing and electrical
tie-ins. Specifications and conditions regarding electrical power to the unit, water quality, water line
pressure requirements, and other requirements for installation of your OSG are discussed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

•

Ensure that the facility and the installation are in conformance with all codes and standards.  Please refer
to  the  MIOX  Corporation  Hydrogen  White  Paper  or  your  local  authority  having  jurisdiction  for  more
information.  Untrained persons should not attempt to install or operate MIOX Corporation OSGs.

•

A liquid barrier system is mandatory. Ensure that all hydrogen vent lines slope towards the oxidant tank.

•

Ensure that no valves, drop legs, or P-traps are in the hydrogen vent lines. Do NOT cross connect vent
lines.

•

Ensure that storage tanks are labeled properly.

•

Disconnect power before working on units. Do not reconnect the power to the switch gear enclosure until
installation is complete.

•

Do not defeat or tamper with electrical interlocks or lockout mechanisms.

•

All MIOX Corporation units require a good earth ground. A neutral is not a substitute for a proper earth
ground. Electrical wiring to all MIOX Corporation units should be performed by a certified electrician.
The circuit feeding the MIOX OSG should be separated from other power devices.

Untrained persons should not attempt to install or operate MIOX equipment.
