One-Point Ionizer with S Power Supply

Checking for Proper Operation

When the one-point ionizer had been connected to the power supply using the high voltage 

cable, turn the power supply ON.  Then use Simco-Ion’s voltage detector to check for 

proper functioning of the emitter point and high voltage supply.  Place the voltage detector 

tip on the one-point ionizer’s emitter point.  The voltage detector’s top will be illuminated 

to indicate proper functioning of the emitter point.

3. MAINTENANCE

Turn equipment OFF before cleaning, removing ionizers from machine, or breaking any 

ground connection.  If metal filings or fragments fall into the tip of the ionizer, they are apt 

to short circuit the unit and make it inoperative until the particles are removed.  Loosen the 

ionizer brackets and rotate the unit to face downward, tapping it to dislodge the particles.  

Rotate the ionizer back into position and tighten the brackets.  Compressed air may be 

used to keep the inside of the ionizer clean.  Periodic use of a soft brush or compressed air 

will prevent the points from accumulating hardened balls of lint, grease, and other foreign 

matter that reduce their sharpness and decrease efficiency.  One easy way to remove built-

up deposits is to occasionally press a soft pencil eraser down over each point in turn and 

twist slightly.  Including the one-point ionizers in the regular procedure of cleaning the 

machine will pay dividends in service and excellence of performance.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

If equipment fails to function properly, check connections to be sure they are tight before 

proceeding with the following tests.

NOTE

 – When the one-point ionizer is operating properly, no visual arcing should 

occur.  If the ionizer should arc constantly, check this particular unit for metal 

fragments or other contamination that should be removed as outlined under 

Maintenance above.  When the voltage detector produces no light, the trouble is 

either a defective ionizer or defective power supply.

To locate the faulty equipment:

1.  Turn OFF current to power supply.
2.   Disconnect all ionizers from the power supply by unscrewing knurled plugs from 

plastic receptacles and pulling out high voltage cables.

3.   After all ionizers have been unplugged, turn ON current to power supply and attach 

a piece of insulated wire or cable to the ground terminal on the power supply.

4.   Insert the other end of the wire into one of the plastic receptacles. As the conductor 

approaches the screw at the back of the exposed hole, a spark should occur.
