Safety Precautions

General Precautions
At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the functions and performance of the SJ-F300 Series.
We recommend that you take substantial safety measures to avoid any damage in the event that a problem occurs.
Do not modify the SJ-F300 Series or use it in any way other than described in the specifications. The functions and performance of products used or modified in this way cannot be assured.
When the SJ-F300 Series is used in combination with other instruments, functions and performance may be degraded, depending on operating conditions and the surrounding environment.
Do not use the SJ-F300 Series for the purpose of protecting the human body.
SJ-F300 Series Handling Precautions
The SJ-F300 Series is a high-voltage product that is not designed in an explosion-proof structure. Pay attention to the following when using the SJ-F300 Series.
To prevent electric shock and to ensure accurate static elimination, be sure
to connect a Class D earth (maximum resistance of 100 Ohms).
Do not use this product in locations where there is the risk of ignition or explosion from flammable solvents or dirt and dust.
High voltage is applied to this product. Prevent it from being splashed with water, oil, or flammable solvents. Failure to do so may cause insulation breakdown, which will result in electric shock or malfunction.
Do not bring your fingers or tools, wire or other metallic objects near this product. Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not use this product in a non-ventilated location. The ozone generated from this product may become toxic. Be sure to ventilate the installation site when this product is used in a non-ventilated location.
Do not use this product in locations where sudden changes in temperature or condensation are likely to occur. Doing so may cause accidents or malfunction.
Do not operate this product with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock.
Before starting maintenance, be sure to turn the power OFF. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or accidents.
During maintenance, do not directly touch the electrode needles. Doing so may cause personal injury.
If any malfunction is observed in this product, immediately turn it OFF, and contact your nearest agent. You should never repair this product yourself. Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not touch the electrode needles with a tool or other hard object. Damage to the electrode needles will prevent static elimination performance from being fully demonstrated, and cause accidents or malfunction.
CAUTION
WARNING
CAUTION
When this product is used for a long period of time, the electrode needles become dirty due to the adhesion of dust and dirt. If the ion level alarm indicator or condition alarm indicator lights, clean the electrode needles. If the electrode needles are used in a dirty or dusty state, the static elimination performance can no longer be fully demonstrated, resulting in accidents or malfunction. We recommend periodically cleaning the electrode needles (as a guideline, once every two weeks in a regular operating environment though this depends on the installation conditions ).
Do not drop or subject this product to shock. Doing so may result in accidents or malfunction.
Use this product for static elimination only. Do not use it for other purposes.
Power Supply Precautions
Use a DC power supply with rated 24 V output.
Noise applied to the power supply may cause this product to malfunction. If
this happens, install an insulated transformer.
When using a switching regulator, be sure to connect a Class D earth to the Frame Ground terminal.
Grounding Precautions
To ensure safety and appropriate static elimination, be sure to ground this product.
Be sure to connect a Class D earth (maximum resistance of 100 Ohms).
SJ-F300 Series Warning Label
A WARNING label is affixed on the SJ-F300 Series to ensure safety. Read the description on this WARNING label to ensure correct use of the SJ-F300 Series.
CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
Be sure to turn the power off when replacing the electrode probes. Otherwise, electric shock may occur.
Do not touch electrode probes with your hands or fingers, as this may cause injury.
WARNING

2CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION

2-1 Before Installation

Before you install this product, examine carefully the distance between the Static Elimination Blower Unit and the target object and the time required for static elimination.

About Static Elimination Performance

The following shows a typical example where static is eliminated from an aluminum plate (20 pF) 150 mm x 150 mm square charged to +1000 V by this product. The blow rate of the blower is set at maximum (FAST).
Static elimination area
The following graphs show the relationship between the time required for eliminating static from a target object charged from +1000 V to +100 V and the distance from the charged object up to the Static Elimination Blower Unit.
Static elimination time
The following graphs show the relationship between the time required for eliminating static at the maximum blow rate from a target object charged at +1000 V positioned 300 mm apart from the Static Elimination Blower Unit and the charged level.

Before Installation
Appropriate static elimination method
Pay attention to the following points to ensure that static elimination is performed appropriately.
Static elimination cannot be performed accurately at locations where the target object is touching a metallic body (earthed body). Eliminate static from the target body at locations where it is not directly touching metallic bodies (earthed body).
Static will be eliminated from only the surface of the insulated body (film, sheet, etc.) that is facing the Static Elimination Blower Unit. When eliminating static from both sides of a target body, install two Static Elimination Blower Units as one unit must be installed on either side of the target body.
Install the Static Elimination Blower Unit so that it can be easily accessed, for example, for replacement of parts and cleaning.

Installation Precautions

Installation site
Refer to the following diagram when installing the SJ-F300 Series.
• Install the Static Elimination Blower Unit away from the wall or surrounding objects.
• Install the Static Elimination Blower Unit so that the Electrode Unit can be removed for replacement.

2-2 Connection and Installation

Installing the SJ-F300 Series

Install the SJ-F300 Series at locations where static electricity is generated or is likely to be generated. When installing the Static Elimination Blower Unit separately from the Controller Unit, refer to "Installing the Static Elimination Blower Unit" below.
Installing the Static Elimination Blower Unit
There are two ways of installing the Static Elimination Blower Unit, with or without the mounting fixtures. Each installation method is shown below.
When using mounting fixture A (OP-78476):
1 Tap M4 screw holes where the Static Elimination Blower Unit is to be installed, and fasten
mounting fixture A (OP-78476) with M4 screws.
You can adjust the horizontal angle of the Static Elimination Blower Unit by using the semi-circled cutout holes on the base of mounting fixture A. M4 screws for fastening mounting fixture A at the installation location must be provided separately.
2 Install the Static Elimination Blower Unit on mounting fixture A.
You can adjust the vertical angle of the Static Elimination Blower Unit by using the semi-circled cutout holes on the base of mounting fixture A. M4 screws for fastening mounting fixture A to the Static Elimination Blower Unit are provided with mounting fixture A.
When using the accessory mounting fixture, also fasten it with screws as shown above.

Connection and Installation
When using mounting fixture B (OP-78477):
1 Install mounting fixture B (OP-78477) on the Static Elimination Blower Unit.
M4 screws for fastening the Static Elimination Blower Unit to mounting fixture B are provided with mounting fixture B.
2 Tap M4 screw holes where the Static Elimination Blower Unit is to be installed, and fasten
mounting fixture B (OP-78477) with M4 screws.
M4 screws for fastening mounting fixture B to the installation location must be provided separately.
3
Loosen the screws mounted on the Static Elimination Blower Unit, and adjust the installation angle. Then, fasten with the screws again.
When mounting fixtures are not used:
Drill holes of diameter 4.2 mm or more at the location where the Static Elimination Blower Unit is to be installed, and fasten with M4 screws. M4 screws must be provided separately.
