1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, installation, and maintenance of your new portable ozone generator. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the device and keep it for future reference. This ozone generator is designed for various applications including water purification and air treatment, producing ozone at rates from 3g to 30g per hour depending on the model.
2. Safety Precautions
- Always operate the ozone generator in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not inhale ozone directly. Ensure no humans or pets are present in the area during high-concentration ozone generation.
- Keep the device away from flammable materials.
- Do not operate the device with wet hands or in wet environments to prevent electric shock.
- Ensure the power supply matches the device's requirements.
- Unplug the device before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
- Keep out of reach of children.
3. Product Components and Overview
Familiarize yourself with the main components of your ozone generator:
- Power Switch: Turns the unit on/off.
- Ozone Switch: Activates/deactivates ozone generation.
- Air Pump Switch: Controls the internal air pump (if applicable).
- Timer Switch/Knob: Sets the operating duration for ozone generation.
- Ozone Outlet: Port for ozone gas output.
- Air Inlet: Port for ambient air intake or oxygen supply.
- Power Input: Connection for the power cord.
- Cooling Fan: Located on the side or rear for heat dissipation.
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up your ozone generator:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the ozone generator from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Place the unit on a stable, flat surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for air circulation, especially near the cooling fan.
- Connections:
- Power: Connect the power cord to the power input on the back of the unit (refer to Figure 3.2) and then to a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the device's specifications.
- Ozone Output: If using for water treatment or directing ozone, connect a suitable ozone-resistant tube to the ozone outlet.
- Air/Oxygen Input: If using an external oxygen concentrator or air dryer, connect its output to the air inlet of the ozone generator. For ambient air operation, ensure the air inlet is clear and unobstructed.
- Water Treatment Setup (if applicable):
Figure 4.1: Example setup for water treatment, showing connection to an external filter system. For water purification, connect the ozone output tube to an air stone or diffuser placed at the bottom of the water tank. Ensure the tubing is securely connected to prevent leaks.
5. Operating Instructions
To operate your ozone generator:
- Power On: Flip the main power switch to the "ON" position. The power indicator light should illuminate.
- Activate Air Pump (if applicable): If your model has a separate air pump switch, turn it "ON". This will start the internal air pump, drawing ambient air into the ozone generation chamber. If using an external oxygen source, ensure it is active.
- Set Timer: Rotate the timer knob (or use digital controls) to set the desired operating time. For air treatment, start with short durations (e.g., 10-15 minutes) for small areas and gradually increase as needed, ensuring the area is vacated during operation. For water treatment, consult specific guidelines for your application.
- Activate Ozone Generation: Flip the ozone switch to the "ON" position. The ozone indicator light should illuminate, and you may hear a faint buzzing sound, indicating ozone production.
- Monitor Operation: Allow the unit to run for the set duration.
- Power Off: Once the timer expires or treatment is complete, the unit will automatically shut off ozone generation. For manual shutdown, turn off the ozone switch, then the air pump switch (if separate), and finally the main power switch.
- Ventilation After Use: After air treatment, allow sufficient time for ozone to dissipate before re-entering the treated area. This typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on ventilation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ozone generator:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement:
- Check the air filter (usually located near the air inlet) regularly, especially in dusty environments.
- Clean the filter by gently brushing off dust or washing with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before re-installing.
- Replace the air filter if it is heavily soiled or damaged.
- Ozone Plate/Tube Cleaning:
- Depending on usage and environment, ozone plates or tubes may accumulate residue. Consult a qualified technician for internal cleaning if you notice a significant drop in ozone output.
- WARNING: Do not attempt to clean internal components without proper knowledge and safety precautions. High voltage is present.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ozone generator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on | No power supply; Power switch off; Faulty power cord/outlet | Check power connection; Ensure power switch is ON; Test outlet with another device; Replace power cord if damaged. |
| No ozone output | Ozone switch off; Timer not set; Air pump not running; Ozone plate/tube dirty or damaged | Ensure ozone switch is ON; Set timer; Turn on air pump; Consult technician for internal inspection. |
| Weak ozone smell/output | Dirty air filter; Insufficient air supply; High humidity; Ozone plate/tube degradation | Clean/replace air filter; Ensure air inlet is clear; Use in lower humidity environment or with air dryer; Consult technician. |
| Unusual noise | Loose components; Fan obstruction; Air pump issue | Check for loose parts; Clear any fan obstructions; If noise persists, contact support. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
