8 Operation of Ion Balance Measurement
The FMX-004 allows for easy measurement of the ion balance (residual charge) using the
enclosed adapter. To measure static charges the adapter to measure the ion balace is simply
attached to the underside. In order to measure the ion balance the adapter has to be remove
and then reattached on the top, in front of the sensor.
8.1 Positioning the adapter to measure ion balance
1. Remove the adapter (press the release buttons for the measuring plate at one side of the
fieldmeter).
2. Fit the adapter to the top of the fieldmeter (the side with the Simco-Ion logo) unt l it clicks into
place.
3. Connect the instrument with earth using the grounding lead provided.
