• The power supply must be checked regularly to ensure its proper func-
tioning. The connections of the high voltage cables must be free of dirt
and other foreign matter (see
chapter 5.1 "Power supply”, page 14
• Make sure that the bars are clean at all times. Dirt results in malfunc-
tions and in premature wear of the units.
• When cleaning do not soak the bars and the high voltage cable in sol-
vent and do not damage the emission tips; allow the solvent to evapo-
rate completely before restarting the unit (see
chapter 6 "Trouble-shooting”, page 15
).
• Potential risk for wearers of cardiac pacemakers:
Moving the chest closer than 3.5 cm to the emission tips of the
discharging bars or making surface contact with several emission tips
(touching a single tip is not critical) can result in a temporary switchover
of the cardiac pacemaker into the fault mode. Permanent proximity or
contact can therefore cause severe problems.
If it is likely that the chest of such a person comes closer than 3.5 cm to
the emission tips of the discharging bar, or if several emission tips are
touched at the same time, the appropriate warning notices must be
displayed.
• The operation of the bars can generate ozone. The ozone concentra-
tion levels developing near the bars depend on many different factors
such as site of installation, bar current and voltage, air circulation, etc.,
and can therefore not be specified in general terms. If the maximum
allowable concentration of ozone must be observed at the site of instal-
lation of the bar, the concentration must be measured on site.
The AGW value (maximum admissible concentration) serves to assess
the ozone concentration at the workplace. The user must make sure
that the appropriate national AGW value is at no times exceeded, e.g.
in Germany the ozone concentration occurring during the operation of
the system must not exceed the recommended value based on interna-
tional limits of 0.06 ml/m³ (0.12 mg/m³).
2.4 Technical advance
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical
specifications without prior notice in order to adapt the units to state-of-
the-art engineering. Eltex will provide the latest information on any
changes or modifications in the operating instructions on request.
