BSG TECHNOLOGY – PHOTOPLASMA™
The PURIZONE is an excellent tool designed to eliminate unpleasant odours at their source whilst cleaning and freshening the air.
When properly used, the PURIZONE significantly reduces bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms in the air and on surfaces. The Mini Powerzone® does not just mask odour with chemicals or perfumes; it actually destroys the odours leaving a cleaner, more pleasant environment.
BSG’s advanced Photoplasma™ technology is designed to sustainably enhance indoor environments. It goes beyond conventional cleaning methods by harnessing combination of negative ions, hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, ultraviolet light and ozone.
The elements of Photoplasma™ quickly and actively break down the structure of contaminants by a chain of reactions. Eventually the contaminants are decomposed and converted to harmless molecules such as carbon dioxide and water vapour.
In essence, BSG’s Photoplasma™ advanced technology brings the holistic benefits of the outdoors, where nature’s cleansing mechanisms thrive, directly into our indoor spaces. It ensures a sustainably enhanced, healthier, and more refreshing living environment.
INSTALLATION
To ensure the safety of the user, people in the area, and/or animals; follow these instructions carefully and observe all warnings.
BEFORE USE
Inspect the device for damage that may have occurred during transportation. If
the unit was damaged, do not connect it to the power supply. In the event of
damage, immediately inform the supplier where the unit was purchased.
The PURIZONE unit must be connected with the included adaptor.
DEVICE USE
OPERATION FEATURES
- Photoplasma™ lamp life monitor
- 4-level time selection
- 3-level fan speed
- Portable infrared remote controller (range up to 19 feet / 6 meters)
POWER AND “LAMP LIFE” RESET
-
The ON/OFF button switches the device:1.
- ON – Standard mode (Unit power on, light indicators on)
- ON – Night mode (Unit power on, power indicator LED intermittently flashes green)
- OFF (Unit power off)
-
The Power light shows whether the device is powered and operating normally and also indicates when the accumulated lamp life reaches 9,000 hours (1 year) and needs replacement. The Power LED has the following modes:
TEDDY GREEN: NORMAL OPERATION
GREEN FLASH: NIGHT MODE
STEADY RED: REPLACE LAMP
FLASHING RED: CONTACT BSG FOR SERVICE -
Whenever a new Photoplasma™ lamp is installed, the “Lamp Life” RESET button MUST be pressed to reset the timer within the microcontroller. The timer will only register lamp life while the unit is powered on.
A. When the new Photoplasma™ lamp is installed correctly and “Lamp Life” RESET is pressed, the power light will flash 2 times in red colour then turn to green colour and begin to operate normally.
B. If the red light keeps flashing, it indicates that the “Lamp Life” RESET button has not been pressed. Re-install the Photoplasma™ lamp and press the “Lamp Life” RESET button until the Power light turns to green colour. -
The ON/OFF button controls the cycle of the operation. The control sequence is in the following
manner:
TIMER
-
The timer light indicates the four preset timer options (ON,
2, 4 and 8 hours). When the indicator light is in the ON setting, the unit will operate continuously until it is turned off by the user. (Switching ON the unit with “2” hours preselected accesses a test mode and the unit will turn off after 2 minutes.) -
The TIMER button sets the operating period. Once the preset time is reached, the unit will turn off automatically. The control sequence is in the following manner:
FAN SPEED
- The FAN SPEED button controls the fan speed which in turn controls the flow of Photoplasma™. The control sequence is in the following manner:
OPTIMUM RESULTS CAN BE ACHIEVED IF YOU:
-
Place your unit as high as possible.
-
Place your unit near an air duct or fan for maximum circulation.
-
Place your unit in a heavy traffic or odorous area, i.e., kitchen, utility room, near litter tray/box, anywhere with smoke or odour sources, etc.

FAQs
Q1. CAN THE PURIZONE UNIT BE MOUNTED ON A WALL?
A1: There are holes in the back of the unit for mounting.
Q2. WHAT SIZED SPACE CAN THE PURIZONE BE USED IN?
A2: The suitability of the PURIZONE for different room sizes is determined by various factors, such as the BSG Photoplasma™ output, airflow, number of odour sources, and more. Sizing information is available on the https://bsg-uv.com website and in the datasheet.
Q3. CAN THE PURIZONE UNIT BE USED IN A PERMANENTLY OCCUPIED SPACE?
A3: Yes, as the unit has various settings and can be switched on and off, usage of the device is fully controlled by the user. In addition, the levels of Ozone produced by the lamp are below the specified EU Regulations (Article EH40: Workplace Exposure Limits).
Q4. HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE THE LAMP?
A4: The Photoplasma™ lamp installed in the PURIZONE unit has a life span of 9000hrs. As the PURIZONE unit can be turned on & off / used as required, the replacement period for the lamp should be calculated by determining the average time the unit is used per day. Care Home Example – – if the PR Unit is switched on during the period that the reception team are in the office, calculate the average for the year = 12 hours per day x 365 days = 4,380 hrs – It can be estimated that the lamp should be replaced after 2 years
SAFETY GUIDELINES
CONDITIONS OF USE
USAGE SAFETY
CAUTION: Carefully read all safety warnings and instructions. Failing to
adhere to these warnings and instructions may result in severe injury or, in
extreme cases, even death.
In the following safety warnings and instructions, the terms “device” or
“product” refer to the PURIZONE.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- Ensure the plug fits the socket. Using original plugs with matching sockets reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Refrain locating device such that it is touching grounded elements such as pipes, heaters, boilers, and refrigerators. There is a higher risk of electric shock if the grounded device is exposed to rain, comes into direct contact with a wet surface, or operates in a moist environment. Water getting into the device drastically increases the risk of device damage and electric shock.
- Do not touch the device with wet or damp hands.
- Use the cable solely for its intended purpose. Never use it to transport the device or to forcibly extract the plug from a socket. Ensure the cable remains clear of heat sources, oil, sharp objects, or moving components.
- Compromised or tangled cables heighten the potential for electric shock.
- If you find yourself using the device in a damp environment as an unavoidable necessity, it is advisable to incorporate a residual current device (RCD). The use of an RCD significantly diminishes the risk of electric shock.
- To prevent the risk of electric shock, avoid submerging the cord, plug, or the device itself in water or any other liquids. Likewise, do not use the device on wet surfaces.
- Take precautions to shield the device from moisture, as exposure may lead to an elevated risk of electric shock.
SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
- Ensure that your workspace is clean and well-lit. A cluttered or poorly lit workspace can increase the risk of accidents. Exercise foresight, pay attention to ongoing activities, and apply common sense when operating the device.
- If you come across any damage or irregular operation, promptly turn off the device and report the issue to a supervisor without delay.
- If there are any uncertainties regarding the correct operation of the device, contact the manufacturer’s support service for guidance.
- Only the manufacturer’s authorised service point should undertake repairs on the device. Do not attempt any repairs on your own.
- In the event of a fire, use a powder or carbon dioxide (CO₂) fire extinguisher designed for use on live electrical devices to extinguish it.
