7. MAINTENANCE
NOTE –
Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks.
CAUTION –
Electrical Shock Hazard
– Turn off all power supplies before
performing any maintenance tasks.
Ionizing Emitter Points
1. Dust or dirt around the ionization points will reduce the effectiveness of the nozzle. If
metal filings or fragments fall into/onto a nozzle, it is apt to short-circuit and render it
inoperative until the particles are removed. The ionizer must be cleaned periodically
to prevent deposits from accumulating.
2. Simply turn OFF the power supply and clean each point by gently twisting an
ordinary pencil eraser over the ionization point to remove any buildup.
NOTE –
Never use hard or sharp objects to scrape ionization points.
3. Ink and resistant coatings may be removed with isopropyl alcohol applied with a
clean cloth or cotton swab.
NOTE –
The alcohol must not contain additives.
NOTE –
Do not pour alcohol directly onto the nozzle and do not soak any of its
components in alcohol.
CAUTION –
Fire Hazard
– Ensure all traces of alcohol have been removed and the
nozzle is completely dry before energizing the power supply.
4. Frequency of cleaning should be at least once monthly, or as determined by
inspections based on operating conditions.
