Maintenance Requirements, continued
Disconnect the system from the mains power before performing any maintenance steps.
•
Inspect the u
nit’s enclosure, tube-holder, and the tube’s plastic end cap. Remove any particle
build-up. Thoroughly wipe clean any tracks or grooves that have developed in the enclosure or
tubes.
•
Inspect connections: tightness of the tube in the tube holder, the grounding clip, and its screw.
Remove excessive rust on the tube connections using sand paper or a wire brush - it may be
necessary to remove the tube for this step.
•
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.
Tube Replacements Every Two Years:
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 the fuse. If it is blown, replace it with the appropriate sized fuse rated at 220~250 V and
continue to the next step. The fuse is 5 x 20 mm in size.
•
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 to replace the fuse, the 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.
If the correct power is being supplied, the next step is to determine the cause of the failure, or blown
fuse.
