If you are able to see the green LED (Figure 6.3 A), but fail to communicate, check for the flash-
ing yellow LED on the Interface box (Figure 6.3 B). If it doesn’t light up, then the USB cable 
may need to be replaced.

6.5 Sensor Outside of Ion Stream 

 
If you are seeing “Out of range” on the User Interface, it is possible the sensor is not perpendicu-
lar to the ionizer or air-stream from an air assisted ionizer. You will need to adjust the placement 
of the sensor. Check the direction the arrow is facing the ionizer, and check the direction of the 
ionizing source.

Maintenance 

 

To maintain a properly functioning Ionmaster Model 1000, some basic maintenance is required: 

 

 

The sensor must be stored in a clean environment when not in use.  

 

The core of the sensor must be kept free of debris, dust, and films therefore it must be 
cleaned periodically with oil and contaminant free compressed air only.  

 

The Ionmaster Model 1000 needs to be calibrated by a qualified technician once a year to 
ensure specified performance. Calibration should only be conducted by NRD LLC. 

 

Firmware updates for the sensor will be available on the NRD secured web portal. An 
email will be sent to the registered user of the sensor when updates occur.
