Maintenance Requirements, continued
Disconnect the system from the mains power before performing any maintenance steps.
•
Inspect the unit’s enclosure, tube-holder, and the tube’s plastic end cap. Remove any particle build-
up. Thoroughly wipe clean any visible tracks or contaminates that have developed in the enclosure or
tubes.
•
Inspect connections: tightness of the tube in the tube holder, the grounding clip, ensure that
grounding clip is clean and in contact with the mesh emitter and its screw. Do not open the enclosure,
or the warranty will be void.
•
It may be beneficial to clean the tubes to improve performance. The tubes can be cleaned using an
air compressor for a quick clean, or more thoroughly with cleaning solutions. Do not immerse the tubes
in water. Ensure that the tube material and mesh are completely dry before re-installing.
2 Year Tube Replacements:
The ionization tubes should be replaced once every 24 months, at a minimum, as the production
efficiency slowly declines over time due to the stress caused by plasma and (lack of) cleanliness of the
electrodes. Old or excessively dirty tubes can also put undue stress on the transformer causing pre-
mature failure.
Troubleshooting
In the event that the system is not functioning, the first step is to check the power source and fuse:
•
Check power plug for good connection and corrosion.
•
Open Quick Disconnect plug and check for Power to Unit.
•
Check that the main power supply is sending the correct power to the unit.
•
If the system is controlled by an air pressure switch, or the fan blower switch, check that these are
not preventing power from being sent to the system.
If power is reaching the unit and it was necessary next step is to determine whether there is a fault in
the system or a tube. If all external sources of failure are eliminated, the system should be serviced by
a qualified AtmosAir technician.
