BIOZONE TECHNOLOGY – PHOTOPLASMA™
The Induc t is an excellent tool designed to solve the problems of odor,
airborne bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
When properly used, the Induc t significantly reduces odour and other harmful
microorganisms in the air and on surfaces. The Induc t does not just mask
odour with chemicals or perfumes; it actually destroys the odours leaving a
cleaner, more pleasant environment.
Biozone Scientific’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 contaminats are decomposed and converted to harmless molecules
such as carbon dioxide and water vapour.
In essence, Biozone Scientific’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 LOCATION
To ensure the safety of the user, people in the area, and/or animals; follow
these instructions carefully and observe all warnings.
ATTENTION! INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A MAINTENANCE MECHANIC OR
APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED PERSONS ONLY
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Inspect the device for damage that may have occurred during transportation. If
the unit has been damaged, do not connect it to the power supply or try to use
it otherwise. In the event of damage, immediately inform the dispatcher or
retailer.
Check that the aforementioned components are included in the package (some are
inside the device). In the event that something is missing, contact your
supplier.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
The Induct device must be installed:
- in a place where it most effectively removes impurities from the air
- such that it does not blow directly in the face
- such that it is within easy reach of the power supply outlet
To gain maximum benefit from your Induct, install it close to a fan or the
incoming air vent. In this way the Photoplasma™ will be mixed most effectively
with the air in the room.
Determine if the HVAC system fan runs continuously or if the fan is switched
on and off intermittently with a thermostat. For intermittent use, the Induct
requires the use of a duct air flow switch (available from Biozone Scientific)
to ensure that the Induct operates only while the fan is on.
The installation may not be carried out in such a way that it damages the HVAC
system electronic components or wiring. Furthermore, installation must not
require any modification to or re-positioning of HVAC air handler components.

FAQs
Q1. IS THERE A PREFERRED LOCATION TO INSTALL AN INDUCT UNIT?
A1: For optimal performance, it is recommended to install the Induct unit within the ventilation pipes of HVAC systems. Ideally, position it as far away from the outlet as feasible, with a preference for placement in the Return Air Duct (RAD). It is crucial to adhere to the installation instructions provided in this manual to ensure proper setup and functionality.
Q2. WHAT SIZE ROOM CAN THE INDUCT BE USED IN?
A2: The applicability of the Induct to various room sizes depends on several factors, including the Biozone Scientific Photoplasma™ output, airflow, number of odor sources, and other considerations. For assistance in determining the appropriate size for your specific needs, we recommend reaching out to your supplier for personalized guidance.
Q3. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE INDUCT UNIT IS WORKING CORRECTLY?
A3: To ensure the Induct unit is working, check if the blue indicator light is on. If not displayed, check whether the optical fiber is in contact with the lamp. Effective operation is indicated by a noticeable reduction or complete elimination of odors. In the uncommon scenario where the blue light is present but odors persist, we recommend reviewing the sizing guidelines for additional assistance. If you need further advice, kindly refer to the product documentation or contact your supplier for optimal performance troubleshooting.
Q4. WHY IS THE INDUCT PREFERRABLY PLACED IN THE RAD?
A4: Optimal placement of the inductor within the RAD is essential for enhanced air purification. The extended distance from the outlet allows for an increased reaction time of Photoplasma™, leading to more effective breakdown of contaminants in the air. Additionally, as indoor air circulates, a portion returns to the return air duct, where it blends with fresh outdoor air before reentering the room. This strategic placement ensures a longer interaction time with Photoplasma™, contributing to superior air purification results.
