Maintenance
The electrodes must be regularly cleaned to maintain good ionizing per-
formance. Frequency of cleaning is dependent on the cleanliness of the
environment and requirements of the ESD program. At least once a
month is a suggested frequency. Note: Do not clean ionizer when pow-
ered on.
1. Power off the ion bar and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Clean the electrode tip, discharge pad and metal discharge body with
alcohol and a clean cloth.
3. Do not power on the ion bar until the components are completely dry.
Calibration
The SCION IN1200 ion output is inherently balanced by design, so there
are no calibration adjustments. Periodic verification is recommended, per
ANSI/ESD SP3.3
-
2006 Periodic Verification of Air Ionizers. Verification fre-
quency may be set by the individual user, but is recommended to be not
less than one time per year.
Equipment needed is a Charge Plate Monitor such as Transforming Tech-
nologies EFM51.CPS.SET or CPM74. Test the ionizer's ion output and bal-
ance according to the Charge Plate's instructions.
Ion Output Check: Discharge times should be 2 seconds (1000v
-
100v) at
18".
Ion Balance Check: Offset voltage should be measured and be 30
volts.
