Information about the device
Device description
The device OZ-ONE is an ozone meter for measuring the ozone
concentration in the air. It can also be used to determine the air,
dew point and wet-bulb temperature as well as the humidity
level of indoor areas.
For assessing the measurements, a Max/Min function
(maximum and minimum value), the time-weighted average, the
short-term exposure limit and a Hold function for freezing the
currently measured value are also available.
When not in use, an automatic switch-off saves the batteries.
Formation, perception and distribution of ozone
The word ozone has become an integral part of our vocabulary
and the colourless, toxic gas is part of our everyday life. The
irritant effect ozone can have on our eyes and airways has been
common knowledge for a few years now, especially since the
increasing ozone volume can be attributed to the so-called
summer smog. Ozone is further generated during certain
industrial processes.
Ozone (chemical symbol: O3) consists of three oxygen atoms.
Ozone is created wherever oxygen molecules(O2) in the air are
turned into atoms(O) due to electrical energy or UVradiation. It
is these atoms that can react with the oxygen molecules to form
ozone(O3).
In case of a high solar irradiation ozone forms involving other air
pollutants. The nitrogen oxides(NOx) from automobiles,
domestic heating systems, power plants and the industry play a
major role in this.
Depending on the concentration, ozone can have a very intense
smell similar to chlorine, hay or carnations. By nature, the
human nose is already vastly superior to most measuring
devices: It detects the gas with a concentration of as little as
0.01ml/m3. What this means when compared to other irritant
gases is that we humans can already detect even minor
quantities of ozone which gives us the opportunity to take
corresponding precautions to avoid any hazard caused by the
gas in due time. However, our nose also has a crucial
disadvantage compared with measuring devices: the so-called
habituation effect. After only a brief period of time spent in an
ozone-polluted environment we become so acclimated to the
smell that we go noseblind.
The impact of ozone on human beings
The sensitivity to ozone depends on its concentration and varies
for each individual. Ozone is an oxidative irritant gas, affecting
eyes, nose, pharynx and lungs even at low concentrations. The
mucous membranes are unable to stop it seeing as ozone is
hardly soluble in water. As a result, the gas can be carried
deeper into the lungs than other irritant gases. Concentrations
of 200 µg/mm3 and higher can cause the following symptoms:
• irritations of the mucous membranes, eyes and the
respiratory tract
• hoarseness, coughs and headaches
• feeling of constriction behind the sternum
• reduced physical performance
The main damage is caused in the respiratory tract which can
lead to breathing difficulties and a reduced respiratory volume.
Late complications can include nosebleeds, a bronchitis (or
tracheitis) or a pulmonary oedema. But the transition from
irritations without lasting consequences to long-term changes
with pathological significance is very smooth.
Ozone threshold and target values
The information threshold for ozone concentrations amounts to
180µg/m3 (1-hour value) and the alert threshold is 240µg/m3
(1-hour value). From an ozone concentration of 180µg/m3 the
media starts to inform the public of the recommended
behaviour. Furthermore, a target value has been specified to
protect human health: Averaged over three years, the daily
maximum 8-hour value of 120µg/m3 must not be exceeded on
more than 25days per calendar year. In the long run, the
maximum average values determined over an 8-hour period are
not supposed to exceed 120µg/m3 altogether. To protect the
vegetation, a target value of 18,000µg/m3 applies for a 5-year
average. This is the summed up difference between the hourly
average values above 80µg/m3 measured during the daylight
hours (8a.m. to 8p.m.) in the main growing season between
May and July and 80µg/m3.

Switch-on and ozone level measurements
Note:
Note that moving from a cold area to a warm area can lead to
condensation forming on the device's circuit board. This
physical and unavoidable effect can falsify the measurement. In
this case, the display shows either no measured values or they
are incorrect. Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out a
measurement.
1. Briefly press the Power button(9).
ðThe display will be activated and the device will be in a
warm-up phase for about three minutes.
ðAt the end of that phase the device is ready for
operation and can be used for measurements.
ðOn the measurement value display the device indicates
the ozone concentration(16) as well as the relative
humidityand ambient temperature(19).
Info
If no ozone concentration is detected in the current
measuring range, the measuring device indicates
"0.00" on the measurement value display(16).
Displaying DP and WBvalues
The ozone concentration is always displayed by the
measurement value display for ozone concentration(16) of the
device.
Further measured values that can be indicated are the dew
point temperatureDP and the wet-bulb temperatureWB.
Please proceed as follows to have these values displayed by the
device:

automatically returns to the normal measuring mode.
Displaying the time-weighted average of the ozone
concentration
The time-weighted averageTWA indicates the average value of
the ozone concentration measured over a period of eight hours.
If the device was in operation for less than eight hours, the

Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The following error messages can be displayed in the
measurement value display for the ozone concentration(16):
Error no. Cause Remedy
Er1 Defective sensor Please contact the
customer service.
Er2 Measured values
outside the
measuring range
Design-related, the electrochemical sensor deployed in the
device offers various advantages, e.g.:
• short warm-up phase
• linear response
• good repeatability and accuracy
• fast response time(1–2s)
• low energy intake
• only limited cross-sensitivity to other VOCs
Due to its functional principle, though, one ought to observe the
following:
• A high humidity level as well as temperature changes can
influence the measurement and may lead to increased
measured values.
• Based on the ongoing oxidation the sensor lifetime is
limited. We therefore recommend to put the device back
into the resealable plastic zip bag it has been delivered in
to prevent it from being continuously exposed to the
oxygen in the air during storage.
• There is a high cross-sensitivity to nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
