Once connected to power, the Module immediately emits balanced streams of positive and negative ions through
each emitter pair. For effective ion distribution, make sure that the bar is installed in a gas flow of at least 50
feet/minute.

Maintenance
The Ionizing Module requires little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. Frequency of cleaning depends on the
cleanliness of air in the immediate vicinity of the Module.
If deposits are observed on the emitter tips,
1.
Disconnect from system power.
2.
Use a cleanroom swab moistened with a cleaning solution of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% de-ionized water to
remove deposits from the emitter points.
3.
If deposits cannot be removed, or if the tips appear worn or bent, the Ionizing Module may not discharge
surfaces with optimal efficiency. In this case, replace the tips. Use a pencil eraser or needle-nosed pliers to
remove the old tip. Insert the new tip and gently press until it seats against the connector; no twisting is
necessary.
