NOTE:
The dark area in the battery indicator display is
not proportional to the remaining energy.
Replacement Procedure
The battery compartment on the back side of the
fieldmeter has a removable cover marked OPEN. Be
careful while connecting or disconnecting the battery.
To avoid breaking the contacts, do not pull the
connection plug hard.
1. Press down on OPEN and slide the cover down.
2. Remove the old battery (if present).
3. Connect the new battery and insert it into the battery
compartment.
4. Reattach the cover back to the battery compartment.
Before closing the cover, make sure that no parts of the
leads are outside the battery compartment
.

Results
A display of [+] or [-] next to the digital numeric value
represents the polarity of the static electricity being
measured. In addition, the color of the bars in the bar
graph indicates the polarity of the static charge. Red
and blue bars indicate positive and negative charges
respectively.
During a static voltage measurement, if the digital
display starts flashing along with a continuous beep,
stop taking the measurement. The static charge is
greater than the meter can measure. Attempts to
measure too high a charge may damage the sensor.
Operation of Ion Balance Measurement
NOTE:
The Digital Static Locator Ion Balance
measurement feature should not be used to measure
the ion balance of static bars. It may be used to mea
-
sure other static control devices for ion balance and to
check for residual charges on surfaces.
The Digital Static Locator
can also be used to measure
ion balance voltage (residual voltage).
1. Depress the charge plate release button on either
side of the fieldmeter to remove the charge plate
assembly.
2. Insert the plate assembly into the other end of the
fieldmeter (the end with the Desco logo) until it
clicks into place.
NOTE:
Ion Balance plate must not move during
measurement.
3. The conductive case must be grounded using the
supplied grounding lead. It is imperative for
accurate ion balance and to drain any charge that
has developed prior to measurement.
4. To turn on the ion balance measuring circuit, press
the blue IB button.
5. Turn sensor toward an uncharged area.
6. The meter reading should be zero (0). Press the
Zero button if it is not.
7. Hold the fieldmeter centered in front of the ionizer at
any convenient, repeatable distance, such as 1 foot.
8. A bar graph and a digital display on the
19430
displays the ion balance information. Press HOLD if
you want to hold the display of the measured charge.
9. To turn off the meter:
Press POWER if you have not used the HOLD
mode.
If you have pressed HOLD and wish to retain the
meter reading for the next use, press the POWER
button to turn off the
19430
.
If you have pressed HOLD and do not wish to
retain the meter reading for next use, press HOLD
then POWER.
10. Depress the charge plate release buttons on either
side of the fieldmeter to remove the charge plate.
Store the plate on the opposite end but [pressing it
until it clicks into place.
If the
19430
is left on for five minutes, the unit will beep
five times then turn itself off automatically. This feature
can be disabled (refer to Section 5).
Battery Replacement
The Digital Static Locator uses 9 V, 6F22Y Manganese
battery. The life of the battery is about 30 hours. When
the POWER switch is on, a battery capacity indicator
displays the state of the battery on the front panel.
