OZONE SOLUTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Ozone naturally attaches to most organic chemical
contaminants, mold spore, odors, etc. It is able to
break them down on the moleccular level leaving the
area with clean fresh air.
The DR Series ozone generators are a complete ozone
generation system. No external compressed air or
oxygen supply is required. This system uses ambient air
to produce up to 5 grams per hour of gaseous ozone.
Each function of the system is described in this manual.
Please read and familiarize yourself with this manual
before use.
I. SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Observe strict
operating procedures while using ozone equipment. It
is imperative that only ozone compatible materials are
used in conjunction with the ozone system.
NOTE: If the operator has asthma, he or she must
not enter an airspace that has a significant ozone
concentration. Ozone can induce an asthma attack.
Carefully review and familiarize yourself with the
following important safety information concerning the
Ozone Generator:
• Ozone is an extremely aggressive and powerful
oxidizer. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) 8-hour exposure limit is
0.10 PPM. The OSHA 15-minute exposure limit for
ozone is 0.3 PPM. Above 0.3 PPM, there is the risk
of damage to respiratory tissues.
• People who have no sense of smell should not
operate this equipment.

DR SERIES
THEORY OF OPERATION
The DR-5 is an ozone generation system that uses
ambient air to produce concentrated ozone gas. This
system generates ozone via corona discharge.
Corona discharge is a process where an electrical spark
is used to split the molecular bond of natural oxygen
molecules (O
) into a singlet state (O
2
oxygen atoms then bond to the remaining O
to form ozone (O
). See picture below for reference.

• Never attempt to verify ozone production by directly
breathing or smelling the ozone outlet.
• The Ozone Generator contains high voltages.
Tampering can result in serious injury or death. For
service instructions, contact Ozone Solutions.
Oxygen itself is not combustible, however it greatly
accelerates the burning of combustible materials.
Therefore, precautions should be taken to avoid a fire
in the area of the generator
• Smoking should not be permitted in the area where
the system is located.
• All oxygen connections and hoses should be kept
clean and free of grease, oil and other combustible
materials.
Do not attempt to modify or enhance the performance
of a generator in any way.
