Ozone sensor located on the inside the steriliser allows the current concentration of ozone in the room to be tested, so
that the controller can determine the required ozone time and control the individual ozone generators accordingly to
maintain the correct ozone concentration during sterilisation. The ozone sensor also transmits information to the
controller when the ozone concentration in the room becomes safe for the user. These are the reasons why the ozone
sensor, which is an integral part of the device, has to work properly and therefore must not be blocked by any foreign
objects and must be in full contact with the air in the ozoned room so that their indications are correct! Improper
measurements of the ozone sensor can lead to life-threatening and health-threatening effects as described in this
chapter. The ozone sensor is calibrated by the manufacturer.
CAUTION! The following gases can affect the ozone sensor indications to a very high degree: carbon monoxide, hydrogen
sulphide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ethanol, nitric oxide (II), chlorine, n-heptane, ammonia, methane, hydrogen and
carbon dioxide.
Although the sterilisation of the room will not be completed before the ozone concentration of 0.1 ppm (completely safe
for humans) has been reached, the room must be absolutely ventilated for at least 30 minutes after sterilisation. This is to
bring the ozone level of the room to 100% safe. Please note that the ozone sensors installed in the steriliser may fail or
the user may undesirably set them off, thus interfering with their measurements. It should also be borne in mind that the
safe level of ozone is different for adults, different for children and different for animals. Ventilating the device will also
allow to get rid of any fog created during the ozone process (a natural phenomenon) and to get rid of the smell of ozone in
the room partially or completely.
