XT-400/800 Operating Instructions
8
Adjust the ozone level according to the level of odor contamination in the room.
If the ozone generator is used to combat cigarette smoke adjust the level of ozone
output for the amount of smokers in the room. If the unit is set on a high level for 10
smokers and 9 leave the room, the ozone level should be turned down accordingly.
Overuse of ozone is not recommended. If too much ozone is present in the room the
ozone smell can turn from sweet to a bleachy odor. This should be avoided.
This can happen very quickly so it is advised to start with the ozone level as low as
possible.
The nose can rapidly loose its ability to smell the ozone.
Ozone at too high a level can cause a headache, burning eyes, or a sore throat.
If this occurs simply turn the ozone control down to a non-objectionable level.
To get the most effective air cleaning from ozone, it is recommended that you use as
little ozone as possible to control odors.
Shock Treatments
If there are strong odors the room should be pre-treated with a High Ozone Shock
Treatment to remove the odor BEFORE attempting to run the machine at a lower, air
purification level of ozone.
To remove strong odors in a room the ozone level should be set to its highest level.
The room should be shut off with no people, animals, or plants in the room.
Turn on the unit with the ozone level set at the highest possible position.
Set the timer for a period of up to 90 minutes. Then wait at least 30-60 minutes, after
the timed cycle, to re-enter the room. Upon re-entering the room, air the room out by
opening windows.
If a long period of shock treatment is desired set the unit’s timer
on the continuous level (CN)
(a separate lamp timer can be used to run the unit for a
longer period of time). A thorough shock treatment can take up to 8 to 12 hours. The
area should remain unoccupied for half the time that you ran the unit.
