Ozone Generator M-MX4000
Operating Manual
Read this Operating Manual thoroughly before attempting to use this machine. Pay particular attention to
Section "SAFETY WARNING".
SAFETY WARNING HEALTH HAZARDS
The M-MX4000 ozone generator is intended for COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE. The machine operates on
single-phase AC voltage of Un = 230 V at 50 Hz.
This machine generates ozone. Ozone is one of the most effective known disinfectants. Ozone displays
bactericidal action at a concentration of 13 μg/dm
. The bactericidal action of ozone is about 50 times better and
3
3000 faster than of chlorine. Ozone is an irritant gas which damages biological membranes by free radical
reactions with the membrane components. Once in living cells, ozone may inhibit the action of cellular enzymes
and arrest intracellular respiration. The first symptoms of ozone irritation (observable already at 0.2 μg/dm
)

include: coughing, sore throat, drowsiness and headache. Ozone's half-life is (practically) short: 30 minutes;
hence its primary concentration falls to approx. 6% in two hours. Ventilate all rooms after ozonation and wear
respirators with charcoal filters if you need to remain in areas of exposure during ozonation. The ozone
concentration at 0.1 ppm is harmless to humans up to a maximum of 8 hours of exposure. The ozone
concentration at 10 ppm is hazardous already after a few minutes of exposure. Ozone generators may output 0.5
ppm maximum (and the higher the concentration the faster the decay is). Operating several high-performance
ozone generators in a small and relatively gas-tight room may increase the output concentration. This will result
in a toxic and deadly atmosphere. Hence professional operation of ozone generators demands professional
operators. Current laws and regulations do not necessitate any training in operation of ozone generating
equipment. However, due to safety considerations, every person who wants to use ozone generators in a
professional way should ask our company for training or read and understand relevant reference literature. Note
that our company training is not obligatory. Always keep your exposure in rooms being ozonated to several
minutes only. The ozone concentration in professional use ranges from 0.01 to 3 ppm. When this concentration is
achieved in a room being processed, its ozonation begins. The following ozone disinfection time is 30 minutes.
This time spread results from the varied reaction of pathogens to ozone. The differences in concentration and
processing time may also vary between the ozonation objectives. You can find more information in very extensive
literature on this topic. The following statements are only a very broad introduction to ozonation which is due to
the wide averaging, high simplification, and conversion of the dynamic state to a static one. The concentration
threshold at which ozone disinfection and deacarisation (dust mite and allergen control) begin is 1 g of
ozone per 10 m
of the processed room. The M-MX4000 generator outputs 3-4 grams of ozone per hour,
3
which means that the machine can kill fungi in 30-35 m
within 30 minutes. Ozonation kills all allergens.

Ozonation of refrigerators or home freezers is recommended. In the seasons for mushroom, fruit and vegetables,
these products should be ozonated, which significantly improves their shelf life – even before freezing. This
destroys bacteria and fungi on their skin. It is recommended to ozonate potatoes or onion before stowing them.
The processing requires mesh bags and a tight room. Air ozonation is recommended for cottages when they are
still vacant. Ozonation is often used to process clothing after prolonged storage. Ozonation is a standard
sanitation process for shoes, athletic clothing, fitness equipment, saunas or gyms. It is also highly recommended
to ozonate all animals rooms and shelters (e.g. kennels, pens, transport boxes for dogs and cats, bird cages or
dovecotes).
1. Permissible Exposure Limits:
PELs in USA, Great Britain and other parts of
Europe:
• 8 hour TWA daily / 5 days a week: 0.1 ppm
• 15 minutes (short-term exposure): 0.3 ppm
The M-MX4000 generator can output up to 4000 milligrams of ozone per hour. The ozone concentration
generated by the M-MX4000 can quickly exceed the 15-minute PEL (0.3 ppm).
2. Ozone toxicity:
Irrespective of PEL values, there is a risk of respiratory inflammation. It has been proven that ozone contributes
to asthmatic attacks. No person with a history of asthmatic episodes should enter rooms which have been
