Do not try to verify operation of the unit by drawing a spark from an ion emitter point.
The design of the balancing circuit makes the “spark test” inconclusive. Sustained
grounding of the ion emitters may damage the balancing circuit.
7.5 Ion Balance Check
To test the unit for ion balance, the use of a charge plate monitor such as the SIMCO
EA-4 is recommended. Offset voltage should be measured and checked against the
Ion Balance in Section 3,
Specifications
.
Do not try to determine ion balance by holding a static meter in the ionized air stream.
This will result in a meaningless reading.
7.6 Calibration
The Aerostat XC’s ion output is inherently balanced by design, so there are no
calibration adjustments. If, after checking the ion balance as outlined above, an
unbalance or offset voltage exists in excess of 0+ 5 volts, contact SIMCO Customer
Service at 800-538-0750.
Never open the case of the unit. This exposes hazardous voltages. If repairs are
necessary, call SIMCO for a Return Authorization Number and return the unit to the
factory.
