SJ-M Series Handling Precautions
The SJ-M Series isa 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 ground (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.

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 Seriesuses a pulse AC method that generates + and – chargedair ions from asingle
electrode probe. This system ensuresa 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 chargedstate of the target obje
ct. 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 t
he 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 chargedby + 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 atall 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.
