Pocket Ozone is a general purpose ozone detector/dosimeter designed for indoor use. Pocket Ozone’s small size and convenient features make it is a useful and easy-to-operate safety device for the detection of harmful levels of ozone in areas where people work or may be otherwise exposed. Pocket Ozone is not designed for high accuracy measurements, particularly at low-levels (less than 0.3ppm). Pocket Ozone’s response time may be slower if the instrument hasn’t been exposed to ozone for some time. Routine conditioning with ozone from an ozone generator will improve Pocket Ozone’s responsiveness, particularly at low-levels, and is recommended.

Pocket Ozone is small and light enough to be transported in your pocket, but Pocket Ozone should not be operated while in your pocket. For proper operation, the sensor exposure hole on the backside of Pocket Ozone must never be covered, and must always be well exposed to the environment being monitored. Do not cover the sensor exposure hole with your hand, or lay the sensor exposure hole against your clothing or any other surface. If the sensor exposure hole is covered, Pocket Ozone will not properly detect ozone. 

Pocket Ozone’s “Self-Test” function checks most of its functionality, but does not test the ozone sensor, which can only be tested with actual exposure to ozone. Monthly testing by exposing to a known source of ozone, such as the Eco Sensors OG-3 ozone generator, is highly recommended.

Application notes for Pocket Ozone are available on the Eco Sensors website (http://www.ecosensors.com/PO3), and provide helpful information on proper use and applications for Pocket Ozone. These should be read and followed to get the most from your Pocket Ozone.
