4.5 Ion Output Check
To test the unit for ion output, the use of a charge plate monitor is
recommended. Discharge times can be measured and checked
against the Discharge Specification in Section 5.
If a charge plate monitor is not available, but a static meter such as
a Simco-Ion handheld electrostatic fieldmeter is available, ion
output may be checked with the following procedure. Take a piece
of plastic and rub it with cloth until a static charge can be read with
the static meter. Turn on the Aerostat XC. Hold the plastic one foot
away from the ionized air outlet for five seconds. Remove the plastic
from the ionized air stream and measure the static charge. The
plastic should be neutralized.
Do not try to verify operation of the unit by drawing a spark from an
ion emitter point. The design of the balancing circuit makes the
"spark test" inconclusive. Sustained grounding of the ion emitters
may damage the balancing circuit.
