1. Select one collector cell to be tested.
2. connect one high voltage wire to the collector cell
contact spring and to the power pack connector
identified as “collector #7”.
3. connect the other high voltage wire (use as a
ground wire) to the metal frame of the collector
cell and to the ground stud on the power pack.
4. ac cable should be connected to the power pack
connectors 5 and 6 with ground wire secured to
the ground stud on the power pack.
5. connect ac cable plug to the wall outlet.
6. Measure high voltage with the high voltage probe,
collector cell voltage should be 5.0 to 7.5 kVDc,
not to exceed 7.5 kVDc. the collector cell will
not maintain high voltages above 7.5 kVDc. the
collector cell will continuously arc. usually this
condition is caused by a power pack above the
“High Voltage Specifications”. the power pack
should be replaced.
7. if there is an arcing condition, determine the
problem and repair.
8. Disconnect ac cable plug from the wall outlet.
refer to “collector cell conditions causing failure” in
Section 10.5.
Collector cell may not be within high voltage
specifications, even though manually cleaned,
due to the service “age” of the collector cell.
The collector cell should be replaced.
Parts or unicell should be replaced as required.
teStinG tHe PoWer Pack
1. connect ac cable to the power pack connectors
5 and 6 with the ground wire secured to the
ground stud on the power pack.
2. connect ac cable plug to wall outlet.
3. Measure high voltage with high voltage probe at
the connectors “ionizer #8” and “collector #7”,
refer to high voltage specifications.
4. Disconnect ac cable plug from the wall outlet.
5. replace power pack if high voltage measurements
are above or below high voltage specifications.
