MOUNTING

Be sure to turn off the power before carrying out angle adjustment for this

product, otherwise accidents or problems with operation may occur.

 

٨

If installing this product directly to the enclosure, use M3 screws. (M3 screws 

should be arranged separately.)

 

٨

If using the 

ER-QMS1

 (optional mounting bracket), use the screws provided with 

the mounting bracket.

 

٨

If using SUNX mounting bracket or screws other than the 

ER-QMS1

, do not use 

screws which are longer than 10 mm, otherwise they may cause damage to 

internal parts when fastened.

 

٨

Tightening torques are 0.5 N

m for M3 screws and 1.2 N

m or less for M4 screws.

 

٨

If using several of these products alongside each other, leave a space of 50 mm 

or more between each product, otherwise product performance may be adversely 

affected.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Be sure to turn off the power before carrying out cleaning and maintenance.

The discharge needle has a sharp point, so be very careful when cleaning the

needle.

 

After long periods of use, dirt may adhere to the discharge needles, the area

around them and the filter. If these areas are not cleaned, charge removal

performance will drop and accidents or problems with operation may occur.

Therefore they should be periodically cleaned (discharge needles: about once

����������������������

٨

Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in 

the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.

٨

Be sure to turn off the air and the power supply before carrying out any cable

connection or inspection work. If this is not done, operating problems, damage or 

electric shocks may occur.

٨

After connecting the cables, check that the connections are correct before turning 

on the power. If the cables are connected incorrectly, operating problems or

accidents may occur.

٨

Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.

The discharge needles are consumable parts. If the discharging performance is

not restored after the discharge needles have been cleaned, it is recommended

that you replace the whole discharge needle unit (option). It is recommended that

you replace the discharge needle unit after about 10,000 hours of operation.

[Cleaning and replacement procedure for discharge needle unit]

Ԙ

Follow the procedure given below to remove the discharge needle unit from the main unit.

ԙ

Use a cotton swab or similar moistened in alcohol to clean the discharge needles 

and the areas around them.

If the needles are particularly dirty, use a brush (such as a toothbrush) moistened 

with alcohol to rub them clean, and then use a cotton swab to wipe them.

A commercially-available ultrasonic cleaner can also be used for cleaning. (Immerse

the discharge needle unit into the cleaning tank to clean them.)

Ԛ

Insert the tabs of the discharge needle unit into the two slots in the main unit, slide 

the discharge needle unit sideways to install it to the main unit until a click is heard.

[Discharge needle unit removal procedure]

*  Do not touch the interior of the main unit when removing and installing the discharge 

needle unit, otherwise accidents or problems with operation may occur.

*  Do not apply any more force than is necessary when removing and installing the

discharge needle unit, otherwise the discharge needle unit may become damaged.
