6.3 Connect the male (air inlet) fitting on the console to the air supply. The
console is designed for a U.S.-standard, industrial interchange quick
coupling. You can attach the console directly to the air supply using the
female quick coupler provided with the console, or attach it using a hose
(not supplied) or some other interconnect. In both cases, use a prefilter as
defined in 4.0.
7.0 Operation
7.1 Make sure the Power Switch on the top of the console is in the OFF
position. Insert the power cord to the transformer into a properly grounded
120VAC (for Ionized Air Gun 980) or 230VAC (for Ionized Air Gun
980E) receptacle. Use only the correct transformer, as use of an incorrect
wall transformer may result in damage to the unit. Doing so will void the
warranty. Refer to Section 3.0 for additional information.
7.2 Secure the power cord so that it cannot accidentally pull the console and
Ionized Air Gun 980 off the workbench.
7.3 For safety and the most efficient ionization, set the pressure regulator on
your air or nitrogen supply between 20-65 psi (1.4 - 4.5 bars). Discharge
times vary depending on air pressure.
Note:
Pressures of 30-40 psi (2.0-2.8 bars) are commonly used for decontaminating surfaces.
Please refer to the pertinent regulations concerning maximum air pressure on hand-held air
blow devices in order to determine a safe operating pressure.
The unit is rated at 65 psi (4.5 bars) inlet pressure, at temperatures up to
75º F (24º C), and the rating decreases at higher temperatures. When using
high pressures, consider the ambient room temperature as well as heat from
surrounding equipment.
7.4 Verify that the Ionized Air Gun 980 trigger is not depressed. Turn the
power switch on the console to ON. The green LED on the console should
illuminate.
WARNING
The 3M
™
Ionized Air Gun 980/980E is NOT for use in hazardous environments where the possiblity of
explosion exists.
