SAFETY PRECAUTION AND WARNING
To avoid electric shock by static electricity, please strictly
follow procedures below:
•
Keep the bottom high-volt discharging electrode
dry, never block its opening, keep hands away
from the opening vicinity.
The electrode is
pigtail-like, insulated and retracted inside a plastic
tunnel with the opening on the unit bottom beneath
the hose exit.
•
Turn on the power only when sprayer is being
carried, with bottom above the ground by 1 foot
or more.
•
Turn off the power before putting down the sprayer
on the ground. Never rest sprayer on a wet ground,
A wet electrode
or electrode in direct contact with
ground
will over discharge and cause damage to
the high-volt generator.
•
Keep housing and wand dry and clean during
use. A wet wand and wand handle could lead to
electrostatic zap to user.
•
Never touch the nozzle and tip area, keep it away
from any other person.
•
High voltage inside, never dis-assemble the sprayer
by non-professionals.
OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
•
Understand the liquids (solutions/formulations) to be
sprayed, its property and protection requirement,
avoid potential harm by the formulation.
•
Do not spray solutions with particles larger than
nozzle diameter, certain solutions need to be
filtered first.
•
Use only water-based solution. No oil-based
solution. No flammable solution.
•
Do not use during rain.
•
Electrostatic sprayer may interfere with sensitive
medical devices such as pacemakers or similar
devices.
HOW DOES THE ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYER WORK?
Inside VF-ES100 sprayer, the 25KV high-volt generator
creates charged ions and separates them out into
positive and negative ions. The positive ions go with the
solution to the nozzle, while negative ions are
automatically conducted to the ground, via
air-discharging process surrounding the high-volt
electrode. These negative ions leave through an opening
on the sprayer bottom (close and underneath the hose
exit) – it is critical to keep this opening clear of any
blockage while unit is in operation. Unlike some other
electrostatic sprayers, there is no electrode on the wand,
no charges conducted through user body, and one can
wear protective gloves while operating the sprayer.
As the now charged mist comes out of the nozzle, they
instantaneously spread out into extremely fine fog
particles under Coulomb force repulsion of same polarity
charges. As this positively charged cloud comes close to
an object, it attracts the negative charges from ground to
the surfaces of the object.
The fog will thus cling to and wrap around the surfaces in
all directions, attracted by static charges on the surfaces.
Thus under the magic repulsion and attraction between
static charges of same and opposite polarities, charged
fog will find its way into nooks and crannies and other
unreachable areas.
The electrostatic spraying process thus can produce
complete surface and area coverage, reach an extremely
high disinfection and sterilization efficiency.
