Maintenance of Ionizer
CAUTIONS
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE
Do not perform any maintenance on the N-3 except for
maintenance and replacement of the electrode.
REMEMBER
Before cleaning the electrode, shut off power and air supply at
the source and disconnect the air hose.
PROHIBITED
Do not wipe the ionizer with detergent or solvent. Substances
of the sort can cause cracking and result in electric shock or
breakdown.
DO NOT WET
Do not wet the N-3. Exposure to moisture can result in electric
shock or breakdown.
Dirt and wear in the needle electrode can deteriorate the performance of this ionizer. Clean the
electrode every 56 hours of use (= approximately 7 days based on calculation of use for 8 hours
per day). If the electrode is not kept in an optimum condition, the performance will drop and
product life might shorten as well.
If the unit is used for a long period of time, the tip of the needle electrode may wear out and
consequently static erasing efficiency will decrease. In such case, replace the needle electrode
with a new one. It is recommended that the needle electrode be replaced every 1,200 hours of
operation (= approximately 6 months based on calculation of use for 8 hours per day).
Keep the unit in good working condition by measuring its ion balance and ion output regularly as a
means for checking for a drop in capacity.
