Speed of Neutralization
The time required to neutralize a static
charge on an item in this area depends on
two important factors: distance to the ionizer
and air velocity.
Air ions constantly recombine and
"neutralize" each other. With high air veloc-
ity, the ions travel further before they recom-
bine. Setting the fan speed to high results in coverage for the greatest
possible area.
Decreasing the distance from the target to the ionizer results in more
rapid neutralization. For fast neutralizing, the item should be held within
1 to 3 feet from the CrossFLOW. For virtually instantaneous neutraliz-
ing, the item may be held as close as 6 inches.
Maintenance
The CrossFLOW has been designed with
low maintenance in mind. The only regular
maintenance suggested is emitter point and
vent cleaning.
To clean the ion emitters, simply sweep the
emitter cleaner back and forth once across
the ionized air outlet. Recommended fre-
quency of cleaning is once a week.
Air Inlet and Outlet Cleaning
The air inlet grille on the rear of the unit and the ionized air outlet
should remain clean to prevent restriction of air flow. They can be
cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum.
