Baseaire O-UVC3 Pro Ozone Generator

Device Description

The O-UVC3 Pro Ozone Generator from the Baseaire series utilizes oxygen from the surrounding air as a molecular compound.

The ozone generator draws in surrounding air and undergoes a discharge procedure. During this process, energy breaks down diatomic oxygen molecules into two single oxygen atoms, forming free radicals.

Atomic oxygen then recombines with oxygen molecules (A) to create ozone.

Ozone is a potent oxidant with high reactivity, making it effective in decomposing destructive substances in the air. Free radicals within the ozone molecule separate and react with airborne substances, even those present in low concentrations. This oxidative decomposition process eliminates pollutants and odors by neutralizing viruses, bacteria, molds, and carcinogenic/allergenic microorganisms.

After oxidation, ozone molecules are converted back into oxygen molecules. Due to their metastable bonds, unoxidized ozone molecules naturally decompose into oxygen over time without leaving harmful residues. In indoor environments under normal conditions, ozone has a half-life of approximately 30 to 60 minutes, meaning its concentration in indoor air is reduced by at least half every hour.

Structure

The device comprises the following components:

• 1. Upper shell
• 2. LED display
• 3. Circuit board back cover
• 4. Wind panel
• 5. Bottom shell
• 6. Plastic floor
• 7. Foot pad
• 8. Ozone generator
• 9. Fan
• 10. Air Inlet
• 11. Suffix socket
• 12. Handle

These components are arranged in an exploded view, illustrating their relative positions within the unit. The diagram shows how the upper shell, bottom shell, fan, air inlet, circuit board, display, ozone generator, and other parts fit together.

Operation

State Description of Switch

1. The default power-on state is shutdown, indicated by four illuminated borders on the display (LCD backlight turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity).
2. Pressing the "POWER" key activates the machine, entering the HOLD working state, where it runs according to the set gear.
3. When setting the "CLOCK" timing, a 30-minute cycle is available, allowing settings between 00:00 and 02:00 for the running time. When CLOCK is active, HOLD is off and CLOCK is on.

Note: When "PERIOD" is not set, the PERIOD indicator remains off, signifying a single scheduled shutdown.

When the "PERIOD" button is set, it cycles through options 0, 12, and 24. A setting of 0 is invalid. A 12-hour setting means the cycle will repeat according to the CLOCK time 12 hours after shutdown, functioning as a cycle mode.

Gears

1. The default starting gear is 1, with fan and ozone operating on 5 gears.
2. The fan does not feature thyristor speed regulation; the delay after detecting zero crossing determines the gear size.

Generally, ozone naturally decomposes into oxygen within approximately one hour. If a person remains in an enclosed space for an extended period, they may not perceive the strong ozone smell.

Overall Workflow

To perform odor neutralization and cleaning cycles, follow these steps:

1. Place the Baseaire O-UVC3 Pro ozone machine in the center of the room.
2. Ensure the equipment and connecting cables are undamaged.
3. Connect the power cable and plug the device into the power source, observing technical parameters.
4. Set the timer to the required run time.
5. Turn on the device. The display panel will illuminate, and the cleaning cycle will commence immediately.

Once the preset time elapses, the Baseaire O-UVC3 Pro ozone machine will automatically shut down.

Mistakes and Shortcomings

The equipment undergoes multiple checks for normal function during production. If faults persist, consult the following list.

⚠️ Warning: Electric shock is life-threatening! Before any operation, unplug the power cord from the socket. Do not bypass electrical safety devices!

To ensure normal and trouble-free operation, the equipment requires regular cleaning and maintenance.

Maintenance

⚠️ Warning: Electric shock is life-threatening! Before performing any operation on the device, please unplug the power plug from the socket. Do not bypass any electrical safety devices!

⚠️ Warning: Inhalation of ozone can cause injury! After the equipment stops running, wait for a while to ensure ozone concentration is below the specified value before performing maintenance and cleaning.

Regular maintenance ensures the equipment's normal and trouble-free operation. The type and frequency of maintenance tasks depend on the operating environment and usage patterns.

During use, dust and moisture can accumulate inside components, affecting function and efficiency. In dusty rooms or after fire damage (high humidity), inspection and maintenance should be performed immediately.

Basic principles for determining equipment operation and maintenance intervals:

• Often
• Per hour
• 1-2 times a week
• In an overly dirty environment
• In a humid room

Perform maintenance if one or more of the following signs appear, regardless of operating conditions:

• Increased noise level from the fan during operation.
• Severely polluted soft magnetic stickers.
• Dirty electrodes (indicated by a hissing sound).
• Gradual disappearance of substances produced during ozone production.

House Cleaning

Clean the case with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the enclosure and prevent electrical components from getting wet. Do not use harsh cleaning agents like sprays, solvents, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasives.

Cleaning

Regular maintenance includes checking the equipment and accessories, and thoroughly cleaning components.

Proceed As Follows: Clean the fan

1. Remove screws from the dust cover.
2. Remove the shell.
3. Disassemble and clean the fan. Check for proper fan operation. For minor contamination, use a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth. For serious contamination, clean the reaction generator with a soap solution. Ensure the fan is completely dry before reinstallation.

Clean Electrode

The electrode can be cleaned while installed. Before cleaning, check for cracks and do not use damaged parts. Use a dry (lint-free) or damp cloth to clean components, ensuring no fibers remain on the electrode. Do not use the device until the electrodes are completely dry.

Installation Requirements

The following requirements must be met when installing the Baseaire O-UVC3 Pro Ozone Generator:

• Use the generator only according to parameters in the "Technical Data" chapter.
• Ensure no obstructions at the air inlet and outlet.
• If possible, place the device in the center of the room for optimal air circulation.
• Do not install near flammable substances or gases.
• Place the device on a dry, vibration-free surface.
• Protect the equipment from splash water.

Transportation and Storage

Incorrect storage or transportation can damage the device. Pay attention to transportation and storage information.

Transportation

Before transporting the equipment, observe the following regulations:

• Turn off the device.
• Hold the power plug while unplugging the power cord from the outlet.
• If the device was recently in use, wait until the timing period is over before moving it.
• Do not drag the device by its power cord to prevent movement and vibration, which could damage the electrode.

After transporting the equipment, observe the following regulations:

• Install the equipment in an upright position after transportation.

Storage

When the device is not in use, observe the following storage conditions:

• Store the Baseaire O-UVC3 Pro Ozone Generator in a dry place, protected from adverse weather and dust.
• Always disconnect the power supply when the equipment is not in use.
