6. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Scheduling
The balance of the Model Aerostat XC2 is designed to be maintained by internal
circuitry and, after initial set-up, should not need further adjustment by the end-
user.
The XC2 requires little or no user maintenance other than periodic cleaning of the
emitter points with the push button cleaner or more extensive cleaning of the emitter
cartridge, case, and fan.
Simco-Ion recommends using the push-button emitter point cleaner daily. This will
ensure the Aerostat XC2 is fully emitting the maximum volume of ions onto your
target area.
Maintenance schedules will vary depending on environmental conditions. Therefore,
determine a schedule that meets the requirements of your application and
environment.
CAUTION
– Before performing any of the following cleanings, be sure the
Aerostat XC2 is powered off and unplugged.
Avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not perform any
maintenance other than those in these instructions.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside this blower other than the input
power fuse and the replaceable emitter cartridge. Any unauthorized service
will void the warranty and may result in additional repair charges.
Emitter Cartridge Inspection and Cleaning
Recommended cleaning materials:
• Lint-free cleaning cloths
• Lint-free cloth swabs (polyester cloth is recommended)
• Cleaning solution of 50% IPA (electronic-grade isopropanol alcohol)/50%
de-ionized water
• Clean dry air (CDA)
Emitter Cartridge Cleaning
With the XC2 turned OFF, emitter
cleaning can typically be accomplished
by manually depressing the emitter
cleaner button on the side of the ionized
air outlet at the front of the unit to
sweep the internal brush over the tips of
the emitter points. Depress the button
several times (3 to 5 times) to clean the
emitter points.
