Refer to “Ionizer Conditions Causing Failure” in Section 10.5.
Ionizer may not be within high voltage specifications,
even though manually cleaned, due to the service “age”
of the unicell. The unicell should be replaced.
Parts or unicell should be replaced as required.
Testing Collector Cell
1. Select one unicell to be tested.
2. Connect one high voltage wire to the collector cell contact spring
and to the power pack connector identified as “Collector #7”.
3. Connect the other high voltage wire (use as a ground wire) to
the metal frame of the unicell cell and to the ground stud on the
power pack.
4. AC cable should be connected to the power pack conectors 5
and 6 with ground wire secured to the ground stud on the power
pack
5. Connect AC cable plug to the wall outlet.
6. Measure high voltage with the high voltage probe, collector cell
voltage should be 5.0 to 7.5 KVDC, not to exceed 7.5 KVDC.
The collector cell will not maintain high voltages above 7.5 KVDC.
The collector cell will continuously arc. Usually this condition is
caused by a power pack above the High Voltage Specifications.
The power pack should be replaced.
7. If there is an arcing condition, determine the problem and repair.
8. Disconnect AC cable plug from the wall outlet.
Unicell may not be within high voltage specifications,
even though manually cleaned, due to the service “age”
of the unicell. The unicell should be replaced.
Parts or unicell should be replaced as required.
Testing the Power Pack
1. Connect AC cable to the power pack connectors 5 and 6 with
the ground wire secured to the ground stud on the power pack.
2. Connect AC cable plug to wall outlet.
3. Measure high voltage with high voltage probe at the connectors
“Ionizer #8” and “Collector #7”, refer to high voltage specifications.
4. Disconnect AC cable plug from the wall outlet.
5. Replace power pack if high voltage measurements are above
or below high voltage specifications.
