6. MAINTENANCE
NOTE
– Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks.
CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn off power supply before cleaning bar or performing any maintenance
on the system.
CAUTION – Fire Hazard
Do not turn on power supply with any trace of alcohol or mineral spirits on
the equipment.
The accumulation of contamination on the ionization emitter points and static bar
surfaces will reduce neutralizing efficiency of the bar, therefore it is recommended
that maintenance of the system be performed when the Clean Bar indicator
on the display module illuminates or every three weeks, whichever comes first.
Dirty environments may require more frequent cleaning. Maintenance should be
performed by qualified service personnel only.
Cleaning the Static Bar
A clean brush with nylon bristles should be used to keep the ionization emitter
points of the static bar clean. Periodic use of the brush will prevent deposits from
accumulating on the points. The emitter points must remain sharp for optimum
operation.
NOTE
– Do not scrape points with any hard or sharp object that may
damage points.
A. Turn off power supply.
B. Remove dirt particles deposited on the static bar with a dry, stiff nylon bristle
brush.
C. Blow off the static bar with clean, dry compressed air.
D. Remove resistant coatings deposited on static bar by wiping with isopropyl
alcohol or mineral spirits applied to a clean cloth. Apply isopropyl alcohol or
mineral spirits to a stiff nylon bristle brush and thoroughly scrub the ionization
emitter channels of the bar.
E. Blow static bar dry with clean, dry compressed air and ensure the bar is
completely dry before re-applying power to the bar.
NOTE
– Do not soak static bar or related components in alcohol or mineral
spirits. Do not use harsh solvents such as lacquer thinner, naphtha or
acetone. They will damage the bar housing and epoxy.
CAUTION – Fire Hazard
Do not turn on power supply with any trace of alcohol or mineral spirits on
the equipment. Allow all alcohol or mineral spirits to evaporate.
