Operation
Once the system is properly installed and all personnel are clear of the high voltage tubes, the
system can be turned on:
Ensure the ionization power knob is turned all the way counter-clockwise in th
e ‘off’ position.
1. Plug the power cord into the plug receptacle on the ionization system
2. Turn the system on and set the ionization power knob to the appropriate setting (1-5, with 1 being
low and 5 being high). The green embedded LED light left of the power knob should light up to
indicate that the system is on, ionization has been activated, and high voltage is being sent to the
tubes. The system is intended to deliver ions into the treated area such that the ion levels should
increase by 100 up to 1500 negative ions / cm
3
. The desired ion increase is dependent on many
factors, including space, use, contaminant level, and distribution effectiveness. An authorized
AtmosAir design consultant should recommend the desired ion increase and appropriate system
layout.
!!!CAUTION!!! A non-functioning LED light may improperly indicate that the system is not functioning.
Be sure to disconnect from the mains power before performing maintenance or troubleshooting the
system.
Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance requirements on an AtmosAir system are mainly site dependent; a dirtier
environment requires more frequent maintenance. In general, quarterly or bi-annual maintenance is
recommended along with a tube replacement every two years. The local AtmosAir dealer can
provide you with an annual service contract.
Quarterly/ Bi-annual Maintenance Requirements:
•
Visually check the performance of the system by checking the green light on the individual units.
If the light is on, and you can hear t
he ‘buzz’ of the tubes, then unit is functioning properly. If not,
proceed to the troubleshooting section for repair.
Maintain a physical distance between all
personnel and the tubes while system is operating or turned on.
•
Optional
: Check performance using a high voltage probe (minimum of 5000 V) paired with a
multimeter. Follow proper safety procedures for dealing with high voltages.
If you are uncertain,
do NOT perform any maintenance with the power on and, instead, proceed to the next step
.
