Alphaboost_Manual-1/19
Installation
Installation of the Alphaboost™ Ionization System involves mounting and wiring the components in an arrangement
that satisfies the environment and power requirements of your application. Procedures may vary according to your
applications need. The Alphaboost™ Ionization System is intended to be used in an Analytical Balance application.
In such an application, the ionizer can easily provide enough output to discharge samples placed on the analytical
balance weighing pan. The Alphaboost™ controller is to be placed near the Analytical Balance(s) in a convenient
and visible position.
Note: the Alphaboost™ Ionization System is not to be connected to a power source while being installed or
serviced.
AB-ABH Ionizing Head Installation
1.
Apply double sided tape to metal electrode on the AB-ABH ionizing head.
2.
Attach the AB-ABH ionizing head to the outside of top panel of the Analytical Balance Draft Chamber.
Center metal electrode, as close as possible, over the weighing pan.
3.
Attach BF3 EZ Mount to inside of top panel of the Analytical Balance. Center under metal electrode on
AB-ABH ionizing head.
2U500 Staticmaster
®
Installation
The 2U500 Staticmaster slides into the BF3 EZ Mount that is attached inside the Analytical Balance.
AB-TC Controller Installation
1.
Locate the AB-TC Controller in a accessible and visible position that is within reach of the two (2) meter
cable of the AB-ABH Ionizing Head.
2.
Connect the AB-ABH Ionizing Head cable to the Boost Output connection on back of the AB-TC
Controller. If connecting multiple AB-ABH Ionizing Heads, use AB-SPL Splitter. A maximum of four (4)
AB-ABH Ionizing Heads can be connected to one (1) AB-TC Controller.
3.
Connect the AB-TC Controller to a proper ground using ground connector on back of the controller.
Without being connected to a proper ground, the AlphaBoost will exhibit an uncontrolled offset.
4.
Connect the supplied 24V power supply to the power input on back of the AB-TC Controller. The AB-TC
Controller requires 24V @ <200mA to operate.
