4. Operation

4.1 Startup

Once all the connections have been made correctly, the system is opera-
tional and the supply voltage can be switched on at the power supply. The 
ion blower head and the ion blower pistol are also operational now.

4.2 Operating voltage

The blower head and the blower pistol are supplied via the high voltage 
supply unit. The appliances are operated with an optimum operating volt-
age of 5 resp. 6 kV.

4.3 Function control

Use the Eltex Volt Stick or a glow-lamp voltage tester to check the proper 
function of the emission tips. Quote Article No. 109136 when ordering the 
Volt Stick from Eltex.

Caution!

To avoid severe damage, keep other objects from hitting against the ion 
blower head!
