Safety Precautions
■ General Precautions
• At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the functions and
performance of the SJ-M 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-M 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-M Series is used in combination with other instruments,
functions and performance may be degraded, depending on operating
conditions and the surrounding environment. Use the SJ-M after fully
studying the effect of combined use with other instruments.
• Do not use the SJ-M Series for the purpose of protecting the human body.
■ SJ-M Series Handling Precautions
The SJ-M Series is a high-voltage product that is not designed in an explosion-proof structure. Pay
attention to the following when using the SJ-M Series.
•
To prevent electric shock and to ensure accurate static elimination, be sure
to connect a Class D earth (maximum resistance of 100 Ohms).
•
The power cable supplied with the exclusive power supply (SJ-U2) is a 125 V
rated power cable. When connecting a power supply that exceeds this power
rating to the SJ-M Series, the user must prepare a power cable having
adequate voltage rating. If a power cable that does not meet the voltage
rating is used, this may cause electric shock, fire or malfunction.
•
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, tools, wire or other metallic objects near this
product. Doing so may cause electric shock or malfunction.
•
Protect the area around the tip of the Static Elimination Head with silicon,
fluoro-resin or other highly ozone-resistant resin. Ozone that is generated
may cause the metal or resin on the SJ-M Series to rust, corrode or
deteriorate.
The ozone generated from this product may adversely affect the human
body. For this reason, do not use the SJ-M Series in closed spaces. Be sure
to use the SJ-M Series in a well-ventilated location. Also, do not bring your
face close to the Static Elimination Head. The ozone generated from this
product might be painful to your nose or throat.
•
Do not use this product in locations where sudden changes in temperature
or condensation are likely to occur.
•
Do not operate this product with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric
shock.
•
Before starting inspection or maintenance, be sure to turn the power OFF.
Failure to do so might result in electric shock or malfunction.
•
During maintenance, do not directly touch the electrode probe. Doing so may
cause personal injury.
•
Supply air according to the deratings indicated in the specifications. Use
without performing derating might result in electric shock or malfunction
•
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 probe with a tool or other hard object. Damage to
the electrode probe will prevent static elimination performance from being
fully demonstrated, and cause accidents or malfunction.
• When this product is used for a long period of time, the electrode probe
become dirty due to the adhesion of dust and dirt. If the ion level alarm
indicator or condition alarm indicator lights, clean the electrode probe. If the
product is used with the electrode probe 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 probe (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 might result in
accident or malfunction.
• Use this product for static elimination only. Do not use it for other purposes.
• When installing the SJ-M Series, observe the minimum bending radius of all
provided cables. Also, do not install the SJ-M with the cables deformed by
staples or other objects. Doing so might cause the SJ-M to malfunction.
■ 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)
■ Air Purge Function Precautions
• Be sure to use air of pressure 0.001 MPa to 0.5 MPa. Use outside of the rated
air pressure range might result in accidents or malfunction.
• Be sure to supply clean or dry air of temperature –20°C or more through a
filter of mesh size about 0.01μm. Moisture or oil contained in the air or
nitrogen may cause discharge inside the Static Elimination Head, which
may result in accidents or malfunction.

1-1 Features of the SJ-M Series
This section describes an outline of the functions, the features of the SJ-M Series.
Outline of the SJ-M Series
■ Pulse AC method
The SJ-M Series uses a pulse AC method that generates + and – charged air ions from a single
electrode probe. This system ensures a maximum ion level per unit time, which in turn high-speed static
elimination. The SJ-M Series also automatically controls the level of + and – ions generated matched to
the charged state of the target object. This enables high-speed and high-precision static elimination
suited to installation conditions.
■ I.C.C. (Ion Current Control) method
This control method calculates the charged level of the target object by sensing the state of ion current
that arises due to the potential difference between the electrode on the Static Elimination Head and
GND. Optimum static elimination matched to the state of the target object can be performed by rapidly
supplying the optimum ions suited to the polarity and charged level of the target object.
■ Ion monitor functions
●
Charge monitor
The integrated ion monitor allows you to learn how much the target object is charged by + or – ions.
This monitor also allows you to confirm at a glance how static elimination is being performed.
● Ion level monitor
The ion level currently being generated by the Static Elimination Head is monitored at all times so that
drops in the generated ion level can be diagnosed on the unit. The generated ion level is indicated by
LEDs and an alarm can be output when the generated ions fall below a certain level. This allows you to
monitor the influence of a dirty electrode probe in advance.

Features of the SJ-M Series
■ Alarm output functions
●
Alarm output functions
An indicator blinks and an alarm signal is output, for example, when internal circuits are damaged or
abnormal discharging occurs. When an alarm signal is output, generation of ions is forcibly stopped.
●
Ion level alarm output function
An indicator lights and an alarm signal is output when the level of generated ions drops due to a dirty
electrode probe, for example.
●
Condition alarm output function
An indicator lights and an alarm signal is output when static elimination performance is impaired.
"Alarm Output Functions" (page 9)
■ Abnormal discharge detection function
Abnormal discharge caused by condensation on the electrode probe tip or adhesion of debris is
detected. When abnormal discharge is detected, ion generation is forcibly stopped to prevent trouble at
an early stage.
"Abnormal Discharge Detection Function" (page 9)
■ Ion balance adjustment function
The ion balance zero point can be fine-adjusted.
"Ion Balance Adjustment Function" (page 8)
■ Static elimination stop function
Static elimination only can be turned ON/OFF with the device still powered. This is achieved by shorting
the 0V terminal with the static elimination stop input terminal on the Controller Unit (I/O terminal
section) or by holding down the two ion balance adjustment keys simultaneously for about three
seconds.
"Static Elimination Stop Function" (page 9)
■ Air purge function
Dirt can be prevented from sticking to the electrode probe on the SJ-M010/020 (G) by attaching a tube
to the air duct and supplying clean or dry air. This also extends the static elimination range.
"Air Purge Function" (page 9)
■ High-temperature static elimination
The High Temperature mode allows static to be eliminated in hot environments.
(ambient operating temperature: SJ-M010/020 (G), 0 to +80°C)
