I-VSE 5000
As the insulated wire approaches the contact within the terminal, a spark should occur
and arcing should be heard. If a spark occurs and arcing is heard, then a static bar is the
cause of the fault. Otherwise, the power supply is the cause. If either is faulty, contact
Simco-Ion Customer Service or your local Simco-Ion Representative.
If the ion balance is greater than +/- 30 volts:
1.
Verify line cord is plugged into a properly grounded 3-terminal receptacle.
2.
Verify adapters or extension cords used with the I-VSE 5000 are all properly
installed, are all of 3-terminal type, and are all properly grounded.
3.
Verify that the front bezel is NOT grounded (and that a ground lead from a balance
meter, or other instrument, is not attached to the bezel).
4.
Verify that a known ground is in use or fan guard on back panel of the I-VSE 5000
is used as a ground point.
5.
Verify that all conductive surfaces in the air stream are grounded.
