effectiveness of the ionizer.  Return the expired device to NRD for proper disposal. 

 

Calibration is not required. 

 

Air pressure not to exceed 100 psig at the inlet of device. 

 
 
Trouble Shooting Guide 

Symptom 

Probable Cause 

Corrective Action 

 
1.

 

Static  charges  are  not 
eliminated 

 
Ion  cell  may  be  out  of  date 
and need replacement. 

 
Call  NRD  for  Ion  Cell 
replacement. 

 

 
Possible  oil  contamination  of 
ion cell. 

 
Return  cell  to  NRD  for 
evaluation.    Do  not  attempt  to 
clean the device. 

 

 
Ions  generated  are  being 
recombined  before  they  reach 
the charged surface. 

 
The  Ionizer  air  exit  needs  to 
be  closer  to  the  charged 
surface. 

 
2.

 

Air flow is reduced. 

 
Upstream  filter(s)  are  plugged 
and/or gas pressure is low. 

 
Replace 

upstream 

filter(s) 

and/or  increase  gas  pressure 
(100 psig max.) 

 
3.

 

Squeezing 

gun 

handle 

trigger does not initiate gas 
flow. 

 
Gas  line  is  shut  off  or 
obstructed. 

 
Open  all  shutoff  valves  and 
check for kink in line or other 
obstructions. 

 

 
Trigger  plunger  mechanism 
damaged. 

 
Contact  NRD  for  replacement 
gun. 

 
4.

 

Releasing  trigger  does  not 
stop the gas flow. 

 
Foreign  matter  trapped  in  the 
shutoff valve of the gun. 

 
Clean  gas  hoses,  replace 
upstream  filter(s)  and  contact 
NRD for replacement gun.
