First Time Setup

• Carefully remove OCA unit from packaging. Inspect for damage and make sure that the HEPA filter is installed correctly.

• Place the OCA unit in a suitable and effective spot. The Placement Guides on our website can assist you in finding the right location for your space.

• Plug OCA unit into appropriate power source (see manual for more information). The power button will flash white.

• Press power button. The unit will perform an internal safety/maintenance check. If there are any safety or maintenance issues, one or more of the HEPA, UVGI or PreFilter indicators will turn
  red and the housing light for that area will flash blue. If this occurs, consult the Operations and Maintenance Manual.

• You will then access the Enter Guided Setup (See Fig. 1) screen. Press OK to enter room size and room ID information, or select Do this later to bypass setup. (Note: if the Guided Setup is not completed, machine cannot display Air Changes per Hour).

• Enter Units (See Fig. 2) prompts to select either US Standard (ft., in.) or Metric (M,cm ). You can also enter “Go Back” to return to the previous menu.

• Enter Room Size (See Fig. 3) lets you either enter the dimensions of the room the unit will be in, the volume of the room (if known), or select I Don’t Know. I Don’t Know sets the unit at its highest output.

• If DIMENSIONS or VOLUME is chosen, use the UP/DOWN (See Fig. 4) arrows to increase or decrease the highlighted dimension or room size. Press OK to enter and when complete.

• Enter Room ID (See Fig. 5) allows you to assign a  3 digit alpha-numeric code to the space the unit  is located in. This is helpful if you plan to move it frequently. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change; OK to select.

• • The display will then read Guided Setup is complete, and the machine will enter operational mode. The display will show Cubic Feet per Minute  (CFM) or Cubic Meters per Minute (CMM). This can be adjusted using the UP/DOWN arrows. (See Fig. 6)

• Press OK to return to the Main Menu. Select Activate Safety Lock (See Fig. 7), then press OK again to lock the current settings. This will prevent tampering. Press OK twice again to unlock and adjust settings.

• In addition to the above, from the Main Menu  there is also an option for Passcode Setup (See  Fig. 8). This feature is reserved for administrators  or authorized users to provide additional security. Contact your administrator for more information.

In addition to the CFM/CMM reading, this menu also shows you the current number of Air Changes per Hour (ACH), based on your fan settings and the room size you have entered. For instance, if you had a 2500 cubic foot room and your fan was set at 500cfm, your ACH would be 12 (60 minutes divided by 2500/500). The example above shows an ACH of “???”; this would be the reading if you skipped the Guided Setup or entered “I Don’t Know” in the Enter Room Size menu.

OCA 500/1200/1500 Operation and Maintenance Manual

In addition to the CFM/CMM reading, this menu also shows you the current number of Air Changes per Hour (ACH), based on your fan settings and the room size you have entered. For instance, if you had a 2500 cubic foot room and your fan was set at 500cfm, your ACH would be 12 (60 minutes divided by 2500/500). The example above shows an ACH of ???; this would be the reading if you skipped the Guid-ed Setup or entered “I Don’t Know” in the Enter Room Size menu.

Normal Operations
Now that Guided Setup has been completed, your unit will return to those settings each time it is turned on. To change these settings, press OK and toggle to Enter Setup Mode. Make desired changes and select Go Back to return to normal operating status.
The machine must be operated with a HEPA and pleated PreFilter in place.

Machine Information Check

Information about your OCA machine can be reached from the Main Menu by pressing OK; then using the UP/DOWN arrows and selecting Show Machine Info. The display will show Model Number, Serial Number, Software Revision and Date of Manufacture. Press OK to return, then UP/DOWN to Go Back to Main Menu.

HEPA Filtration

The HEPA filter purifies the air and will gradually become loaded with sub- micron particulates. Even when the HEPA filter is fully loaded, the filter is still removing particulates from the air at the rated efficiency, yet at a reduced airflow. This will affect the ability of the machine to provide positive or negative pressure within the containment. We recommend changing the HEPA filter after no more than 365 days of operation.

SureUVC™ Germicidal Lights
UVGI lights are installed in the compartment below the HEPA filter. The air passing by the UVGI lights is sterilized and the bio-contaminants captured on the HEPA are killed or deactivated. To maintain the full effectiveness of the UV Germicidal we recommend replacing the lights after 365 days of operation.

PreFilter
Near the bottom of the machine and right above the air intake grate is an access door for the pleated PreFilter. The PreFilter is rated Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 11, and is designed to remove dust, pollen, mold spores and other small particles from the air before it passes through the HEPA filter. This will significantly extend the usable lifetime of the HEPA filter, which is much more costly to replace. We recommend changing the PreFilter after no more than 90 days of operation.

Machine Status
You can check the status of the unit at any time from the Main Menu by pressing OK; then using the UP/DOWN arrows and selecting Machine Status. This will show the number of days the unit has been in operation, as well as the number of days of use for the HEPA filter, UV lamps and PreFilter. The HEPA filter and UV bulbs each have a usage life span of 365 days before replacement is required; the PreFilter has a 90 day life span. The example shows that the HEPA filter has been in use for 372 days, and therefore should be replaced.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Machine Status
The OCA Series machines continuously monitor  the UVGI, HEPA and PreFilter systems for failures,  errors and scheduled replacement times. If any of these systems require attention, the Display screen  will show a “Check Status” advisory and “Warning”
triangle symbol. At the same time, the panel status indicator LEDs and the lights in the corresponding areas on the front casing will alert the user and describe the issue. The table below lists the errors in order of their priority. If more than one error occurs simultaneously, the display will show the higher priority error first; then move on to the next when the first one is resolved.

Troubleshooting Error and Status Table

HEPA Filter Installation/Replacement
To replace the HEPA filter, unplug the machine and remove the top grill. You will see 4 filter tabs holding the HEPA filter in place. These tabs are secured with 1/4-20 Nylock nuts, which require a 7/16” wrench or socket. WARNING: Unplug the unit before opening filter compartment. Remove all 4 filter tab retaining nuts and remove the filter tabs and set aside. Lift HEPA filter out. Replace with new HEPA filter and replace the filter tabs. Be sure to tighten the locknuts securely to ensure a tight seal with the filter gasket. ALWAYS TREAT THE USED HEPA FILTER AS HAZMAT AND PROCESS IT ACCORDING TO YOUR ESTABLISHED HAZMAT PROCEDURES.

Replacing UV Germicidal lights

• If the UVGI indicator light turns red, you will need to access the lights to replace the bulbs. We recommend changing all bulbs simultaneously. WARNING – Skin or eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the lamp in this apparatus. Always disconnect power before relamping or servicing. Replace the lamp with Lamp Model TUV 16W 4P-SE, Manufactured by Philips.
• For the OCA1210 and OCA1510, remove the 2 screws on each side of the SureUVC™ compartment and gently slide the drawer forward to access the bulbs. The lights are each held in with (2) clips; gently pull the light out of the two U-clips, then disconnect the 4-pin connector. Replace the 4 bulbs and return the drawer to its original position. Reinstall the light compartment door.
• For the OCA510, remove follow the above directions to remove the HEPA filter.  With the HEPA filter out of the unit, you will have access to the SureUVC™ compartment.  The lights are each held in with (2) clips; gently pull the light out of the two U-clips, then disconnect the 4-pin connector. Replace the 2 bulbs, and replace the HEPA and top grill per the instructions above.
• Plug in and turn the unit back on; if the UVGI indicator is still red, the problem could be one or more of the ballasts. Call OmniClean Technical Support for additional assistance.

PreFilter Replacement
The pleated filter should be changed when it becomes loaded with dust. To change the filter, turn off the machine, remove the 2 screws on each side of the PreFilter compartment and remove the compartment cover. Remove the dirty filter and replace; then reinstall the cover.

Resetting the Machine Status

After completing the above required maintenance, you will need to reset the Machine Status for the affected item. From the Main Menu press OK; then use the UP/DOWN arrows to select the Maintenance Menu. Scroll to the desired reset and press OK. This will turn the status back to day 0 for that item. The sample screen shows resetting the UV Bulb age.
DO NOT reset other fields; only the one you have performed maintenance/replacement on.

System Self-Test
You can confirm that all of your indicator lights are performing correctly by performing a system self-test. To access the self-test, press OK to enter the main menu.

The self-test alternates illuminating the Status Indicator LEDS in green and red, while simultaneously flashing the Front Casing Lights.
