OPERATING PROCEDURES:
• Always wear proper safety equipment!
• In the area to be treated, determine a suitable, centrally located,
dry location to place the unit and plug in.
• Turn off smoke/fire alarm systems in building or residence, if
system is known to be sensitive to ozone gas.
• Clean or vacuum the air intake screens on ventilation systems in
areas with high concentrations of smoke or airborne dust when
treating air conditioning duct system.
• Turn the air conditioning fan to “On” (if applicable) for
continuous cool airflow throughout building, unit, or house.
• Make sure the area being treated is sealed shut to re-circulate the
ozone and prevent the ozone from escaping.
• Vacate the area of all persons, animals, and rubber products or
rubber plants (see activBlaster Warnings).
• Place “DO NOT ENTER” caution signs on all entrances/exits to
treated area.
• Place respiratory breathing mask on.
• Turn “On” the unit by setting the clock timer for the
predetermined time treatment period and adjusting to the
appropriate output percentage.
• Exit area immediately.
POST TREATMENT PROCEDURES:
• When time period is expired, you should re-enter only with
breathing mask in place to vent out the area. If feasible, open
windows and doors to vent area.
• Re-test the area after the pre-calculated venting time period
to check whether the ozone level is safe to breathe without
breathing apparatus.
ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The activBlaster unit is designed to use a normal household voltage
of 120V. In accordance with the specifications of the National
Electrical Code and for safety measures, a three-prong grounding
plug is standard to the equipment. This three-prong plug mates
with a standard three-prong ground wall receptacle.
ACTIVBLASTER WARNINGS:
OZONE IS CONSIDERED A TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SPECIFICALLY
OSHA (OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT) (29 USC
655, 657). IT IS A POWERFUL OXIDIZER WHICH DESTROYS
ORGANIC SUBSTANCES. ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HEREIN
MUST BE ADHERED TO AND COMMON SENSE MUST BE
USED. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ACTIVBLASTER
SYSTEM WITHOUT FIRST READING AND UNDERSTANDING
ALL INFORMATION AS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER
HEREIN.
• Do not under any circumstance cut, remove, or replace the
third prong from the electrical cord. If in the event a three-
prong receptacle cannot be located in the area to be treated,
a temporary connection may be made (where local codes
permit) utilizing P&S #1919 Adapter or equivalent.
The adapter provides a means for plugging in the three-
prong cord into a two-prong receptacle. When used around
dampness or water, use a GFI outlet.
• Vacate the area of persons, animals, and rubber plants before
starting the system. The amount of ozone that is produced by
activBlaster is much higher than the maximum permissible
OSHA standard for ozone concentration in an inhabited,
enclosed area (.1 ppm). Therefore, no person or animal should
remain in or enter the treated area until the area is vented
properly for the recommended time period, and the level of
ozone has depleted down to the acceptable level (.1 ppm). *Do
not breathe or inhale the ozone gas.
• A “Caution Do Not Enter” sign should be placed on all
entrances/exits to the treated area at all times during and after
the treatment until such time as the ozone level is .1 ppm, safe
for re-entry.
• Do not breathe the ozone. The applicator should wear
appropriate respiratory (breathing) mask when entering a
treated area afterwards. If it is absolutely necessary to re-enter
the treated area, you should wear a respiratory breathing mask
and turn off the system.
• Vent area before re-entering. The area may smell of ozone
when you re-enter (ozone smells like air immediately after a
thunderstorm). If the ozone level measures more than the 0.1
ppm concentration, the area should be vented longer until the
level is reduced.
• Do not disassemble the activBlaster unit to service, or look
directly inside at the ultraviolet light while it is operating.
• Do not use in an overheated (over 120˚ F.) or explosive
atmosphere.
Some physical symptoms of prolonged or excessive ozone
exposure may result in: burning, watery, or irritated eyes, nose,
and throat; nausea; headache; difficulty breathing; dry cough;
irritation to nasal passages, throat, bronchial, and pulmonary
membranes. Should this occur, see a physician immediately.
Persons suffering from chronic breathing problems are known to
be sensitive to ozone.

ALL ABOUT OZONE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WITH PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Question Answer
Why does ozone eliminate odors? The third oxygen atom is loosely attached and easily separates from the ozone molecule to
combine with other substances, thereby oxidizing the odor causing substances.
Just what do you mean by
oxidation? Give an example.
Inside the body, food molecules combine with O
2
to form CO
2
, and H
2
O and energy or heat.
Oxidation means a substance undergoes a chemical change resulting in a different substance. Rust
and fire are examples of oxidation.
Is ozone like radiation? No, ozone emits no penetrating rays.
What happens to ozone after it
serves its purpose?
Ozone’s additional oxygen atom, when combined with other substances, undergoes a chemical
change and reverts back to ordinary oxygen.
How is ozone formed by nature? Trees emit hydrocarbons, which are byproducts of photosynthesis. Together with sunlight they
produce ozone. Also, the electric discharge of lightening will produce ozone. This is why the air
always smells so fresh after a thunderstorm.
What is the optimum operating
temperature for an area to be
treated?
70˚ F/21˚C to 80˚F/26.6˚C.
Should I leave on a fan or air
conditioning?
Yes. Utilizing the air conditioner, ceiling fans, floor fans, blowers, etc., to ensure that the ozone
is dispersed throughout the room, greatly improves the activBlaster’s effectiveness. This air
movement helps to ensure the ozone will come into contact with the odor. This same additional
air movement in the room after the activBlaster turns off will help the ozone to decompose more
rapidly making the room occupiable sooner. In many cases, ventilating a room is not an option.
