1 GENERAL
The ionizer has conductive peaks supplied by high
voltage which, based on corona discharge, generate
positively and negatively charged ions in the immediate
vicinity. These are attracted by the electrostatic charge of
goods to be weighed and, thus, neutralise the interfering
electrostatic charge. This also does away with the forces
falsifying the weighing (such as falsified weighing result,
weighing value drifted).
2 Basic Safety Precautions
WARNING
The use of ionizer is only intended in combination with
electronic weighing balances. Do not use for any other
purposes.
Never operate the ionizer in explosive environment. The
serial version is not explosion protected.
Protect the ionizer against high air humidity /
temperature, steams and dust;
Take care to select a location free of water and oil
Do not expose the ionizer to strong humidity for
extended periods. Non-permitted condensation
(condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may
occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably
warmer environment. In this case, acclimatize the
disconnected ionizer for ca. 2 hours at room
temperature.
Whilst the ionizer is switched on, do not touch the ion
source; see sticker on the left side.
In case of smoke development, smell of fire, strong
heating-up of the ionizer or when the red LED starts
glowing, turn off the ionizer immediately and disconnect
it from the mains.
If water or other foreign matter enters the ionizer, turn
YBI-01-BA-e-1311 4
off the master switch immediately and disconnect it from
the mains.

Prevent damage caused by dropping, vibration or shock;
On account of the high voltage technology, handle the
ion source and exits with care.
Do not take apart or modify the ionizer.
see sticker on the left side.
Always use the genuine power pack. The stated voltage
value must be the same as the local voltage.
Risk of injury! The peaks of the ion source are sharp
and cutting.
The ionizer generates poison ous ozone; ensure
sufficient ventilation.
For maintenance and repair work disconnect the ionizer
from the mains.
Disconnect the ionizer from the mains during periods of
idleness.
