Sylvan HX-5000 Hydroxyl & Ozone Generator User Manual
Malli: HX-5000
1. Johdanto
The Sylvan HX-5000 is an industrial-grade hydroxyl and ozone generator designed for air purification and odor elimination in large spaces. This unit offers the flexibility to operate in hydroxyl-only mode for occupied environments, ozone-only mode for unoccupied environments, or a combination of both for advanced treatment. It is intended for professional use in restoration and industrial applications.
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, setup, and maintenance of your HX-5000 unit. Please read it thoroughly before initial use.
2. Tärkeitä turvallisuustietoja
- VAROITUS: DO NOT USE THE OZONE FUNCTION IN OCCUPIED SPACES. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer and can be harmful to humans, pets, and plants. Ensure the treatment area is completely vacant during ozone generation and for a sufficient period afterward (typically 24 hours) to allow ozone to dissipate.
- Always operate the unit in a well-ventilated area when using the hydroxyl function.
- The hydroxyl function requires an external air mover (sold separately) to effectively distribute hydroxyl molecules.
- Do not operate the unit if the power cord is damaged or if the unit shows signs of malfunction.
- Keep the unit away from water and moisture. Do not immerse in liquids.
- Varmista, että laite on sijoitettu vakaalle, tasaiselle alustalle.
- Irrota laite pistorasiasta ennen huolto- tai puhdistustöitä.
- Tätä laitetta ei ole tarkoitettu henkilöiden (mukaan lukien lapset) käytettäväksi, joilla on alentuneet fyysiset, sensoriset tai henkiset kyvyt tai joilla ei ole kokemusta ja tietoa, ellei heidän turvallisuudestaan vastaava henkilö ole valvonut tai opastanut laitteen käyttöä.

- POWER ON (Red Button): Aktivoi yksikön.
- HYDROXYL ADJUST (Toggle Switch): Selects between OFF, LOW, and HIGH hydroxyl output.
- OZONE ON (Green Button): Activates the ozone generation function.
- OZONE ADJUST (Rotary Knob): Adjusts ozone output from 0 to 5000 mg/hr.
- CAUTION Label: "DO NOT USE THE OZONE FUNCTION IN OCCUPIED SPACE"
4. Asennus ja asennus
- Pura yksikkö: Carefully remove the HX-5000 from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Sijoitus: Place the unit on a stable, level surface in the area to be treated. Ensure adequate clearance around the air inlet and outlet for proper airflow.
- Connect Air Mover (for Hydroxyl Function): For effective distribution of hydroxyl molecules, connect an external air mover (sold separately) to the air outlet of the HX-5000. The air mover helps circulate the treated air throughout the space.
- Virtaliitäntä: Plug the power cord into the unit's power inlet, then into a standard electrical outlet (AC power).
- Alueen valmistelu:
- varten Hydroxyl-only treatment: Ensure the area is well-ventilated if occupied.
- varten Ozone treatment (or combined Hydroxyl + Ozone): Evacuate all humans, pets, and plants from the treatment area. Close windows and doors to contain the ozone.

5. Käyttöohjeet
The HX-5000 offers three operating modes: Hydroxyl-only, Ozone-only, and Combined Hydroxyl + Ozone.
5.1 Hydroxyl-Only Operation (Occupied Spaces)
This mode is suitable for continuous air purification in occupied environments.
- Ensure an air mover is connected and operating to distribute hydroxyls effectively.
- Paina VIRTA PÄÄLLE (red) button.
- Aseta HYDROXYL ADJUST toggle switch to MATALA or KORKEA, depending on the treatment intensity required.
- Varmista, että OZONE ON (green) button is POIS ja OZONE ADJUST nuppi on asetettu asentoon 0.
- Allow the unit to operate for the desired duration. Hydroxyl treatment typically requires longer periods (36-48 hours for small rooms) compared to ozone.
5.2 Ozone-Only Operation (Unoccupied Spaces)
CRITICAL: Ensure the treatment area is completely vacant of humans, pets, and plants before activating ozone.
- Ensure the area is evacuated and sealed (windows/doors closed).
- Paina VIRTA PÄÄLLE (red) button.
- Aseta HYDROXYL ADJUST toggle switch to POIS.
- Paina OZONE ON (green) button.
- Säädä OZONE ADJUST rotary knob to the desired output level (0-5000 mg/hr).
- Allow the unit to operate for the required treatment time (e.g., 24 hours for small rooms).
- Hoidon jälkeen: Turn off the unit, unplug it, and ventilate the area thoroughly for at least 24 hours before re-entry.
5.3 Combined Hydroxyl + Ozone Operation (Unoccupied Spaces)
CRITICAL: This mode is highly oxidizing. Ensure the treatment area is completely vacant of humans, pets, and plants before activating.
- Ensure an air mover is connected and operating.
- Ensure the area is evacuated and sealed.
- Paina VIRTA PÄÄLLE (red) button.
- Aseta HYDROXYL ADJUST toggle switch to MATALA or KORKEA.
- Paina OZONE ON (green) button.
- Säädä OZONE ADJUST rotary knob to the desired output level.
- Allow the unit to operate for the required treatment time.
- Hoidon jälkeen: Turn off the unit, unplug it, and ventilate the area thoroughly for at least 24 hours before re-entry.
6. Huolto
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your HX-5000 unit.
- Ulkopuolen puhdistus: Pyyhi laitteen ulkopuoli pehmeällä, damp liinalla. Älä käytä hankaavia puhdistusaineita tai liuottimia. Varmista, että laite on irrotettu pistorasiasta ennen puhdistamista.
- Ilmansuodattimen huolto: The unit uses an Activated Carbon filter. Regularly check and clean or replace the air filter as needed to maintain airflow and efficiency. Refer to the filter manufacturer's instructions for specific cleaning or replacement intervals.
- Hydroxyl Optic Assemblies: The hydroxyl optic assemblies (UV lamps) have a limited lifespan. If hydroxyl output diminishes, they may need replacement. Contact Sylvan customer support for replacement parts and instructions.
- Ozone Plates: Ozone generation relies on ceramic plates. If ozone output diminishes, these plates may need cleaning or replacement. Contact Sylvan customer support for replacement parts and instructions.
