STATIC ELIMINATOR

I443A

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a Static Eliminator. It is designed to eliminate the static charge from a charged object. Please read this manual before operating the static eliminator. Keep this manual readily accessible for reference.

The static eliminator can be mounted on the arm of optional moveable fixture to provide a wider range of angles and positions from which to approach the charged body.

Section 1 Summary

Page1

Thank you for purchasing this static eliminator. It is important to read this instruction before operating and installing. It helps to installation, use and maintenance. Fail to do so could result in serious personal injury and/ or damage to the equipment.

The blower is designed to purify air in room and eliminate static charge for sensitive electronic components. It can be applied in inspection, testing, assembly and laboratory environments. The blower can also be used where static charge causes problems such as: dust attached on product, misalignment of small parts due to electrostatic “jumping”, and undesirable adhesion of plastic films due to static charge.

This blower is portable ionized air blower, plastic enclosure, legerity and insulation. It uses a small fan to produce large airflow. The volume of airflow is controlled by variable speed knob which provides a wide range of airflow settings. The ionizer uses a transformer which produces low current and high voltage. This transformer is inherently current limited for safety. The transformer output also contains current limiting resistor which provides redundant safety and enhances the ionization stability. The high voltage is applied to a row of tungsten steel ion emitters which produce positive and negative ions, and the ions will be output with airflow. It is this intense electric field that injects alternating polarity ions into the airflow. The shaped airflow exiting the Blower carries these ions over a broad area for static elimination. Directing the airflow on an object that has a static electricity charge will neutralize the charge. If the object has a positive static charge, it will draw negative ions from the airflow. If the object has a negative static charge, it will draw positive ions from the airflow. The ions are attracted to the oppositely charged object and neutralize the charge on the object.

WARNING

To avoid shock, always, unplug the power cord before inspecting the unit or changing parts.

1. The unit will not operate when the power switch is turn on.

Check 1:Is the fuse broken?

Action: Replace the fuse

Check 2:Is the power cord plugged in?

Action: Plug it in.

Note:

* There is a spare fuse in the fuse holder.

* Be sure to replace it with a fuse of the same specification.

2. The air is airflow but the static is not eliminated.

Check 1: Is dust or other foreign matter collected on the electrodes?

Action: Clean the electrodes.

Check 2: Is the filter dirty?

Action: Clean or change the filter.

For any problems other than those listed above, contact our company or our sales agents in your area.

Section 11 Optional /Replacement parts

The filtration sponge is a replacement part, if you need, you can order. When cleaning the filtration sponge, rinse the sponge in plain water and gently

squeezing. If the dust is stubborn, wash the sponge in mild soap then rinse.

be read with the static meter. Turn on the BLOWER and set the fan speed to high. Hold the plastic 30cm from the ionized air outlet for about 5 seconds.

The plastic should be neutralized.

If no instrument is available, the unit’s operation can be verified with the following procedure. Tear off about a 25cm length of transparent tape. You will note that the tape is charged and will be easily attracted to a nearby surface when the tape is held vertically approximately 30mm from it. Make the tape pass through the ionized air stream approximately 30cm from the unit and 5 seconds later, approach the non-adhesive side of the tape with your free hand. If the charge has been neutralized, it will not attract.

Do not try to verify operation of the unit by drawing a spark from an ion emitter point. The design of the balancing circuit makes the “spark test” inconclusive. Sustained grounding of the ion emitters may damage the balancing circuit.

Note: When performing this procedure, do not use a plastic surface such as

Plexiglas as the surface, since itself maybe charged and attract the tape. A

“safe” surface would be a metal leg or drawer front on a workbench.

Note: If the ion balance deflection is too much, please contact agent or our company.

1.

Daily inspection

* Make sure no abnormal odor, smoke, or abnormal noises are emitted from the unit while it is running.

* If any abnormal odor, smoke, or abnormal noises is observed, stop using immediately. Turn the switch off and unplug the power cord from the socket. Contact agent.

* Check if it is grounded correctly.

WARNING

Do not neglect to perform the maintenance and daily inspection described as follows. Dust collected on high voltage areas may lead to a fire hazard.

2.

Clean the electrodes

Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord.

Take out the fixture behind the unit, clean the electrode and its white fixture socket with the attached cotton swabs dipped with alcohol.

!

CAUTION: Make sure fibers from the cotton swabs don’t stick the electrodes.

3.

Clean filter

Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord. Take out the fixture from the rear of the unit and separate the shield from sponge. Rinse the filter with clean water. If filtration sponge is used, wash and squeeze it gently. If

the dirt is stubborn, wash the filter in mild soap. After wiping up the plastic shield with paper or clean towels and allowing the sponge become dry, reinstall the fixture again.

Note: If the filter is used, regular clean should be performed. A clean filter is vital for the operation of this unit, clean regularly.
