SAFETY WARNINGS
HEALTH HAZARD WARNING:
1. Permissible Exposure Limits:
The following limits accepted in USA, UK and other parts of Europe:
8 hour per day/5 days per week (occupational exposure limit) - 0.1 ppm
15 minute (short term exposure limit) - 0.3 ppm
The OZX-300ST ozone generator is capable of delivering up to 200 gram of ozone per hour. In
an enclosed space, the ozone concentration generated by the OZX-300ST quickly exceeds the
15-minute exposure limit of 0.3 parts per million.
2. Toxicology of ozone:
Above the exposure limit there is risk of inflammation to the respiratory system. Ozone has
been shown to induce asthma attacks.
People with history of asthma episodes should not
enter a newly ozonized area until all the residual ozone has fully dispersed and the area
well ventilated with fresh air.
Ozone has a distinctive sharp odor and is detectable by smell even at concentrations well below
the 15-minute exposure limit. Most people can detect the smell of ozone at concentrations
around 1/10
th
of the 15-minute exposure limit.
A strong smell of ozone normally indicates an
ozone concentration that exceeds the 15-minute exposure limit.
WARNING:
People with smell disorder should not operate this equipment.
Leave some room for the unit when using.
Don’t attempt to confirm ozone production by directly smelling the ozone coming
out of the unit.
Short-term inhalation of high concentrations of ozone and long-term inhalation of
low concentrations of ozone can cause serious harmful physiological effects. Do
not directly inhale ozone gas produced by this device.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS:
1.
The unit is not waterproof, for indoor uses only. DO NOT allow water to enter. Water
damage is not covered by warranty.
2.
DO NOT open, temper or try to repair the unit. The unit utilizes very high voltages
that can result in injury. Do not touch an opened or tempered unit, while it is working.
3.
DO NOT operate the unit in humid conditions (Relative Humidity > 80%).
4.
The suggested minimum room space is 30 m3 to avoid very strong smell of ozone
when purifying air.
5.
Keep the unit at a place where the unit is not reachable by children
6.
Unplug when you no longer need it.
7.
DO NOT use unit within an environment with flammable gases or explosive materials.
8.
DO NOT touch the machine with wet or damp hands.
9.
Avoid using the unit repeatedly in the warehouse of metals and lactoprene materials.
10.
Use only ozone compatible hoses between the ozone generator and the injection point.
Failure to use the correct materials could result in an undesirable leakage of ozone
into the surrounding airspace.
11.
DO NOT lubricate fittings or hoses with mineral oil or grease.
12.
DO NOT place the unit on the carpet when using.
