When the SL-003 blower is used in an electronic assembly area, the
ionized air stream should cover as much of the working area as possible.
The constant flow of ionized air will prevent items such as work
surfaces, tools, materials and components from developing a static
charge. Charged items introduced into a work area will be neutralized
and will remain neutral while keeping in the ionized air stream.
The SL-003 overhead blower has been designed for minimal
maintenance. The only regular maintenance suggested consists of
emitter point cleaning, ion balance checking and ion output checking.
Emitter point cleaning takes only moments with the point cleaners. The
SL-003 also contains a balancing circuit that is inherently self balancing.
This circuit compensates for emitter point wear, line voltage fluctuations
and variations in air velocity.
Scheduled checking of ion output and balance should be considered to
assure quality audit requirements
.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Emitter Cleaning
To clean ion emitter points, simply rotate point cleaner knob located at
center of each outlet clockwise to the stop (approximately one turn) and
release. The spring-loaded point cleaning brush will return to its home
position. Recommended frequency of cleaning is once a week.
5.2 Air Inlet and Outlet Cleaning
The air inlet grilles on the top of the unit and ionized air outlets should
remain clean to prevent restriction of airflow. They can be cleaned with
a soft brush or vacuum.
5.3 Ion Output Check
