Quick Start Guide
You will then access the Enter Guided Setup screen.
Press OK to enter room size and room ID information,
or select Do this later to bypass setup. (Note: if the
Guided Setup is not completed, machine cannot
display Air Changes per Hour).
Enter Units prompts to select either US Standard
(ft., in.) or Metric (M,cm ). You can also enter “Go
Back” to return to the previous menu.
Enter Room Size lets you either enter the dimensions
of the room the unit will be in, the volume of the
room (if known), or select I Don’t Know. I Don’t Know
sets the unit at its highest output.
If DIMENSIONS or VOLUME is chosen, use the
UP/DOWN arrows to increase or decrease the
highlighted dimension or room size. Press OK to
enter and when complete.
Enter Room ID allows you to assign a 3 digit alpha-
numeric code to the space the unit is located in. This
is helpful if you plan to move it frequently. Use the UP/
DOWN arrows to change; OK to select.
The display will then read Guided Setup is complete,
and the machine will enter operational mode. The
display will show Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) or
Cubic Meters per Minute (CMM). This can be adjusted
using the UP/DOWN arrows.
Press OK to return to the Main Menu. Select Activate
Safety Lock, then press OK again to lock the current
settings. This will prevent tampering. Press OK twice
again to unlock and adjust settings.
In addition to the above, from the Main Menu
there is also an option for Passcode Setup. This
feature is reserved for administrators or authorized
users to provide additional security. Contact your
administrator for more information.
In addition to the CFM/CMM reading, this menu also shows you the current number of Air Changes per Hour
(ACH), based on your fan settings and the room size you have entered. For instance, if you had a 2500 cubic
foot room and your fan was set at 500cfm, your ACH would be 12 (60 minutes divided by 2500/500). The
example above shows an ACH of ???; this would be the reading if you skipped the Guided Setup or entered “I
Don’t Know” in the Enter Room Size menu.

Machine Information Check
Information about your OCA machine can be
reached from the Main Menu by pressing OK; then
using the UP/DOWN arrows and selecting Show
Machine Info. The display will show Model Number,
Serial Number, Software Revision and Date of
Manufacture. Press OK to return, then UP/DOWN to
Go Back to Main Menu.
In addition to the CFM/CMM reading, this menu also shows you the current number of Air Changes per Hour
(ACH), based on your fan settings and the room size you have entered. For instance, if you had a 2500 cubic
foot room and your fan was set at 500cfm, your ACH would be 12 (60 minutes divided by 2500/500). The
example above shows an ACH of ???; this would be the reading if you skipped the Guided Setup or entered “I
Don’t Know” in the Enter Room Size menu.
Now that Guided Setup has been completed, your unit will return to those settings each time it is turned on. To
change these settings, press OK and toggle to Enter Setup Mode. Make desired changes and select Go Back
to return to normal operating status.
The machine must be operated with a HEPA and pleated PreFilter in place.
Normal Operations
HEPA Filtration
The HEPA filter purifies the air and will gradually become loaded with sub-micron particulates. Even when
the HEPA filter is fully loaded, the filter is still removing particulates from the air at the rated efficiency, yet at a
reduced airflow. This will affect the ability of the machine to provide positive or negative pressure within the
containment. We recommend changing the HEPA filter after no more than 365 days of operation.
SureUVC™ Germicidal Lights
UVGI lights are installed in the compartment below the HEPA filter. The air passing by the UVGI lights is
sterilized and the bio-contaminants captured on the HEPA are killed or deactivated. To maintain the full
effectiveness of the UV Germicidal we recommend replacing the lights after 365 days of operation.
PreFilter
Near the bottom of the machine and right above the air intake grate is an access door for the pleated
PreFilter. The PreFilter is rated Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 11, and is designed to remove dust,
pollen, mold spores and other small particles from the air before it passes through the HEPA filter. This will
significantly extend the usable lifetime of the HEPA filter, which is much more costly to replace. We recommend
changing the PreFilter after no more than 90 days of operation.

11
OCA 500/1200/1500 Operation and Maintenance Manual
Machine Status
You can check the status of the unit at any time from the
Main Menu by pressing OK; then using the UP/DOWN
arrows and selecting Machine Status. This will show
the number of days the unit has been in operation, as
well as the number of days of use for the HEPA filter, UV
lamps and PreFilter. The HEPA filter and UV bulbs each have a usage life span of 365 days before replacement is
required; the PreFilter has a 90 day life span. The example shows that the HEPA filter has been in use for 372 days,
and therefore should be replaced.
Machine Status
The OCA Series machines continuously monitor the
UVGI, HEPA and PreFilter systems for failures, errors and
scheduled replacement times. If any of these systems
require attention, the Display screen will show a “Check
Status” advisory and “Warning” triangle symbol. At the
same time, the panel status indicator LEDs and the lights in the corresponding areas on the front casing will alert
the user and describe the issue. The table below lists the errors in order of their priority. If more than one error
occurs simultaneously, the display will show the higher priority error first; then move on to the next when the first
one is resolved.

OCA 500/1200/1500 Operation and Maintenance Manual
HEPA Filter Installation/Replacement
To replace the HEPA filter, unplug the machine and remove the top grill. You will see 4 filter tabs holding the
HEPA filter in place. These tabs are secured with 1/4-20 Nylock nuts, which require a 7/16” wrench or socket.
WARNING: Unplug the unit before opening filter compartment. Remove all 4 filter tab retaining nuts and
remove the filter tabs and set aside. Lift HEPA filter out. Replace with new HEPA filter and replace the filter tabs.
Be sure to tighten the locknuts securely to ensure a tight seal with the filter gasket. ALWAYS TREAT THE USED
HEPA FILTER AS HAZMAT AND PROCESS IT ACCORDING TO YOUR ESTABLISHED HAZMAT PROCEDURES.
Replacing UV Germicidal lights
If the UVGI indicator light turns red, you will need to access the lights to replace the bulbs. We recommend
changing all bulbs simultaneously. WARNING: Unplug the unit before opening UVGI light compartment.
Remove the 2 screws on each side of the SureUVC™ compartment and gently slide the drawer forward to
access the bulbs. The lights are each held in with (2) clips; gently pull the light out of the two U-clips, then
disconnect the 4-pin connector. Replace the 4 bulbs and return the drawer to its original position. Reinstall the
light compartment door. Plug in and turn the unit back on; if the UVGI indicator is still red, the problem could
be one or more of the ballasts. Call OmniClean Technical Support for additional assistance
PreFilter Replacement
The pleated filter should be changed when it becomes loaded with dust. To change the filter, turn off the
machine, remove the 2 screws on each side of the PreFilter compartment and remove the compartment
cover. Remove the dirty filter and replace; then reinstall the cover.
Resetting the Machine Status
After completing the above required maintenance, you
will need to reset the Machine Status for the affected
item. From the Main Menu press OK; then use the UP/
DOWN arrows to select the Maintenance Menu. Scroll to
the desired reset and press OK. This will turn the status
back to day 0 for that item. The sample screen shows
resetting the UV Bulb age.
DO NOT reset other fields; only the one you have
performed maintenance/replacement on.
System Self-Test
You can confirm that all of your indicator lights are
performing correctly by performing a system self-test.
To access the self-test, press OK to enter the main
menu.
The self-test alternates illuminating the Status Indicator
LEDS in green and red, while simultaneously flashing
the Front Casing Lights.
