Ion Balance Measurement
Ion Balance Measurement
With the Ion Balance plate on Eye-02, approach an ionizer slowly from a distance. The numerical
value and the bar graph, displayed on the LCD, indicate the Ion Balance voltage (offset voltage)
due to the ionizer at that distance.
Ion Balance Measurement
REMEMBER
If the digital numerical value blinks at [± 220] and a continuous “beeping”
sound is heard while moving the measuring device, the offset voltage
exceeds the measurement range (over range) of this measuring instrument,
so stop the measurement. The internal sensor could be damaged if
measurements are continued in this state.
* The + (plus sign) and - (minus sign) displayed to the left of the digital value indicates the polarity of
the offset voltage. In other words, these indicate that the ionizer’s Ion Balance is deviated toward
the indicated polarity. The polarity of the offset voltage can also be determined by the position of
the displayed bar graph. Right side: positive voltage, Left side: negative voltage
* Each bar of the bar graph corresponds to 15 V approximately.
* Eye-02 goes into Ion Balance measurement mode when Ion Balance button is pressed, even if
the Ion Balance plate is not attached or not attached properly. However, the measured value will
not be correct.
* Eye-02 is calibrated by applying DC voltage to the Ion Balance plate directly. If the plate is
attached properly to EyeE-01, the display gives a direct reading of the Ion Balance voltage.
Ion Balance Measurement
REMEMBER
Check periodically the insulation resistance of the Ion Balance plate
assembly. For easy checking, confirm if the displayed value is decreasing
after the plate is charged up to about 100 V. If the insulation resistance is
low, the reading will decay quickly.
REMEMBER
The insulation resistance between the Ion Balance plate and the stainless
steel arms should be greater than 10 TΩ (10
13
Ω)
REMEMBER
To maintain the high insulation level of insulation of the Ion Balance plate,
the Eye-02 should be stored in a place having less than 60 %RH. It should
be kept inside a desiccator or in the soft case using desiccant.
REMEMBER
In order to make more reliable measurement, we recommended that you
create a data comparison and correction with CPM.
REMEMBER
The Eye-02 should be recalibrated once a year. Please contact us or our
agents when a recalibration of Eye-02 is necessary.
