The Ulsonix Ozone Generator is a cleaning instrument designed to eliminate odors and disinfect spaces using ozone. This user manual covers models ULX-OZG 7000G, ULX-OZG 5000G, and ULX-OZG 10000G, providing comprehensive instructions for safe and effective operation, maintenance, and disposal.
Function Description
The ozone generator produces ozone (O3), a powerful oxidizing agent, to neutralize unpleasant odors and kill bacteria, viruses, and mold. It is particularly effective in enclosed spaces such as rooms, vehicles, and areas affected by smoke, pet odors, or water damage. The device is designed for professional use and is not intended for continuous operation in occupied spaces due to the potential health risks associated with high ozone concentrations.
The generator operates by drawing in ambient air, converting oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3) through a corona discharge process, and then releasing the ozone into the environment. Ozone reacts with odor-causing molecules and microorganisms, breaking them down into harmless substances. After a treatment cycle, the ozone naturally reverts to oxygen, though proper ventilation is crucial to accelerate this process and ensure a safe environment.

Usage Features
The ozone generator is designed for ease of use but requires strict adherence to safety guidelines.
Pre-Operation Checklist:
- Read the Manual: Thoroughly read and understand the entire user manual before operating the device.
- Ventilation: Ensure the area to be treated is unoccupied by humans, animals, or plants. Remove all sensitive items, including paintings, plants, and certain rubber or plastic materials, as ozone can cause damage.
- Power Supply: Connect the device to a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters unless absolutely necessary and ensure they are rated for the device's power requirements.
- Placement: Place the ozone generator in the center of the room, preferably on an elevated surface, to ensure optimal ozone distribution. Ensure the air inlet and outlet are unobstructed.
Operation:
- Timer Function: The device features a timer that can be set for up to 120 minutes. For continuous operation, set the timer to "HOLD."
- Treatment Duration: The recommended treatment time varies depending on the room size and the intensity of the odor. For example, a 50 m³ room might require 30 minutes for light odors, 50 minutes for medium odors, and 100 minutes for strong odors. For larger rooms (up to 100 m³), treatment times can range from 50 to 120 minutes.
- Post-Treatment Ventilation: After the treatment cycle is complete, disconnect the device from the power supply. Crucially, allow at least 2 hours for the ozone to dissipate naturally before re-entering the treated area. For optimal safety and to accelerate ozone breakdown, ventilate the room thoroughly by opening windows and doors for at least 30 minutes before re-occupying the space.
- Repeat Treatments: For persistent odors, multiple treatment cycles may be necessary. Always ensure adequate ventilation between cycles.
Safety Precautions:
- NEVER operate the device in occupied spaces. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and can cause health problems.
- DO NOT enter the treated area during operation.
- Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
- Avoid using the device near flammable materials or in environments with high humidity.
- Keep the device out of reach of children.
- Always disconnect the power supply before any maintenance or cleaning.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the ozone generator.
Cleaning:
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Air Filter Cleaning: The device is equipped with an air filter that should be cleaned regularly. Remove the filter and clean it with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
- Ozone Plate Cleaning: The ozone plates (corona discharge plates) are crucial for ozone production and should be cleaned periodically.
- Frequency: Clean the ozone plates every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the device is used in dusty environments.
- Procedure: Disconnect the device from the power supply. Open the device casing (refer to the manual for specific instructions on accessing the ozone plates). Carefully remove the ozone plates. Clean them with a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove any residue. Do not use water or liquid cleaners on the ozone plates. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them.
- Replacement: Ozone plates have a limited lifespan and may need to be replaced if ozone output significantly decreases. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
Storage:
- Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Ensure the device is clean and dry before storage.
Troubleshooting:
- No Ozone Output: Check the power connection, ensure the timer is set correctly, and inspect the ozone plates for damage or excessive dirt.
- Reduced Ozone Output: Clean or replace the ozone plates. Ensure the air filter is clean.
- Unusual Noises: Disconnect the device and check for any loose components or obstructions in the fan.
Disposal:
- The device is subject to the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
- Do not dispose of the device with household waste.
- Take the device to an authorized collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. This helps protect the environment and ensures proper handling of materials.
The Ulsonix Ozone Generator is a powerful tool for odor elimination and disinfection when used correctly and safely. Adhering to the instructions and maintenance guidelines in this manual will ensure effective operation and extend the life of the device.
