If no instrumentation is available, ion output may be verified with
the following procedure.
1.
Tear off about a 300mm length of Scotch brand (or equivalent) transparent
tape.
2.
Approach non-adhesive side of tape with your free hand and note
the electrostatic attraction of tape to your hand.
3.
Pass tape through the ionized air stream approximately 1 foot from
unit and again approach non-adhesive side of tape with your free
hand. If the tape has been neutralized, it will not attract.
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not insert objects through intake or outlet grille.
Do not try to verify operation of unit by drawing a spark from an ion
emitter point. The design of the balancing circuit makes the “park test”
inconclusive. Sustained grounding of ion emitters may damage the
balancing circuit.
5.4 Ion Balance Check
Use a charged plate monitor to test unit for ion balance of +/- 10V.
Do not try to determine ion balance by holding a static meter in the
ionized air stream. This will result in a meaningless reading.
5.5 Calibration
Ion output of the SL-003 unit is inherently balanced by design. As
a result, there are no calibration adjustment. After checking ion balance
as outlined in Section 5.4,if an unbalance or offset
voltage exists in
