counting down the time remaining until the start of sterilization and O
3
and ! will start blinking.
After the 120-second countdown, the unit will check the proper functioning of the relevant actuators (PRE-TEST) and
then the ozone generators will start and the unit will operate in the selected mode of operation. If any errors are detected
during the test, the device will display a tESt message, go into standby mode and then display the corresponding error
codes on the display in the O
3
STERILIZATION section. (except for errors F201 and F202, which cause the PRE-TEST to be
suspended until the error is corrected - filter cartridge is inserted)
When the device is in sterilization mode, an additional acoustic signal is activated (can be deactivated according to the
instructions in 6.4) and a flashing signal generated by the warning beacon light (when the ozone concentration exceeds
the user safe level of 0.1 ppm). When the safe ozone concentration (0.1 ppm) is exceeded, the safe ozone concentration
indicator will stop illuminating.
The sterilisation process or the countdown to the start of sterilisation can be interrupted at any time by pressing any
button on the user panel. The parameter settings for the relevant programs can be interrupted by pressing the START
button for any of the other operating modes. The device will then go into standby mode.
During the T
S
and T
0
phases, the display in the OZONING TIME section will count down the set ozoning time and during the
T
D
phase, the time 00:00 will be displayed..
During the ozoning process, the display in the CONCENTRATION section shows the current ozone concentration. If the
heating up of the ozone sensor is still in progress during the ozone treatment, the display shows the characters - -.- -.
After completion of the sterilization process, the device will switch off the ozone generators and switch on the UV-C
fluorescent tubes to accelerate the ozone decomposition (ozone destruction). During the ozone destruction process the
LED backlight panel is activated. When the safe concentration (0.1 ppm) is reached, the ozone safety light will light up.
After completion of the sterilization process the device will go into standby mode.
6.3.4.3 Other functions in sterilisation mode
Deactivation/activation of the buzzer in sterilisation mode:
To deactivate or activate the buzzer in sterilization mode follow the instructions in section 6.6, changing parameter C130
to 0 (deactivation) or 1 (activation) respectively.
Ozone destruction:
Each version of the steriliser is equipped with an ozone destruction function. The action of the ozone destructor consists
in starting UV-C fluorescent lamps at the end of the ozone process or after 30 minutes, depending on the sterilization
mode. Activation of the lamps emitting the appropriate wavelength of UV-C radiation causes an accelerated
decomposition of O
3
particles into bi-atomic oxygen. The UV lamps start up spontaneously and operate until the ozone
concentration in the room reaches 0.1 ppm. The ozone destruction time is between 90 and 180 minutes.
6.3.4.4 Compliance with the ozone concentration limits
Ozone is a highly oxidizing, irritating gas, which already at low concentrations has harmful effects on the eyes, nose,
airways and lungs. For this reason, it is necessary to use real-time measurement of its concentration by the controller in
order to establish and observe the limit values. The legal limit for workplace ozone concentration is 0.1 mg/m³ (according
to PN-Z-04007-2:1994, the WEL is 0.15 mg/m³). The built-in measurement system with the ozone sensor allows for
real-time, user-safe values. The electrochemical sensor of the measuring system is distinguished by its high accuracy
even at low ozone concentrations, which allows for early detection of the gas limit.
If, within 120 minutes from the start of operation of the device in sterilisation mode, the ozone concentration at the set
limit level is not reached, the steriliser considers the ozone phase to be complete, displays an error and moves on to the
waiting phase. Then the ozone destruction process will begin by starting the UV lamps.
