4. INSTALLATION
Product Safety Information
Carefully read the following safety information before installing or operating the
equipment. Failure to follow these safety warnings could result in damage to your
ionization system and/or voiding the product warranty.
• The use of improper input voltage may result in poor performance or
damage to the ionizer. This will also void the warranty.
• This product is supplied with a 3-prong grounding plug, which must be
inserted in an appropriate, properly wired and grounded receptacle. Do
not defeat the electrical ground. For safety, the use of extension cords is not
recommended.
• Do not use this blower in an explosive environment. Poorly maintained
Ionizers could produce miniscule electric arcs along the emitter. This may
cause detonation in an explosive environment. Read Section 4 Power
Connections and Section 5 Operating Environment before applying power
to the unit.
• To avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not perform any
maintenance other than that contained in these instructions. Do not insert
anything within the intake or outlet grills.
• There are no user-replaceable parts inside this blower other than the emitter
cartridge and the power fuse. Any unauthorized service will void the
warranty and may result in additional repair charges. Contact your local
Simco-Ion representative if the blower requires service or repair.
• For indoor use only in a non-condensing environment.
• This product is not intended for use in tropical climate regions or for use at
altitudes above 2000m.
• Before performing any recommended maintenance, be sure the unit is
powered off and unplugged.
Mounting and Placement
Initial Operation
NOTE
– Operate the Aerostat XC2 ionizer for an initial 24 hours in the
application area before conducting any performance measurements.
Place the Aerostat XC2 approximately 1 to 4 feet (0.3 to 1.3m) from objects to be
neutralized or from the critical work area. Discharge times are longer, the further
away the XC2 is placed from the target area. Tests show that the XC2 will ionize the
target area further than 4 feet.
The XC2 should be positioned to cover as much of the area as possible with the
ionized air stream. To allow adequate air intake, keep at least a 6-inch clearance
between walls or any objects and the rear of the XC2.
