䃂

Clean the discharge needle regularly (about once a week), otherwise optimum

charge removal performance may not be obtained and re or operating problems

may occur.

䃂

High voltages are applied to the discharge needle, so never touch the discharge
needle while the power for the product is turned on, otherwise electric shocks may
result.

䃂

If this product is used in an airtight room, ozone emitted from this product may be
detrimental. Therefore, in order for this product to be used in an airtight room, be
sure to keep the room ventilated.

䃂

Do not direct ionized air toward the face. Ozone may cause irritation to places
such as the nose and throat.

䃂

Do not look directly into the white LED spotlight. It may cause injury to the eyes.

䃂

Since the tip of the discharge needle is sharp, take sufcient care in handling the

discharge needle, or injuries may result.

䃂

When air is not being supplied to this product, turn off the power in order to stop
discharging from occurring. If discharging is allowed to continue while air is not
being suppli ed, the ozone concentra tion will rise and acciden ts or o perating

OUTLINE

●

This product is an air gun-type electrostatic charge removal and dust removal
device which uses ion generation from corona discharges.

●

This product is equipped with a pulse ionized air emission function for effectively
removing dust and which can be replaced with normal continuous ionized air
emission.

●

It uses a built-in high-illumination white LED spotlight in order to illuminate the
direction in which ionized air is being blown.

and ⑤ are connected to the AC

①
adapter.

●

Use the accessory connector wiring terminal to connect external input or GND.

When using external input

※

When using external input, ionized air discharging can be carried out using the
same ON/OFF operations as trigger input.

Note: The COM (-) terminal which uses external input is connected internally to 0V, the GND terminal

and the nozzle metallic parts. If external input ON/OFF switching is carried out using an
external control device instead of an independent mechanical-type switch, or if the 0V potential
of the external control device and the grounding potential of the place of use are different (such
as in the case of positive power supply grounding), the external control device used for external
input should have an insulated on/off procedure for the 0V line (such as photocoupler output or
relay output) in order to prevent short-circuits from occurring.

WIRING • PIPING

●

Use the accessory relay cable to connect the main unit and the AC adapter.

●

Use the accessory straight joint to connect a suitable air tube to the main unit.

●

Connect the GND terminal of this product to a secure ground when using it.

●

Since the pressure will drop when the air piping from the main pressure supply is

extended or pneumatie-components (e.g., needle valve, speed-controler, minilter)

are added, keep an eye on the pressure supply to the ionizer maiking sure it isn't in
short supply. For the pneumatic-components, select those that can accommodate

the air supply ow rate.

The air supplied should be dry, clean air (air drier: dew point approx. -20°C, air lter:

※

mesh size of approx. 0.01μm).

CAUTION

䃂

Turn off the power and air and make sure that the supply of air has been fully
shut off before carrying out any wire and tube connection work. If this is not done,
accidents or problems with operation may occur.

䃂

The metal parts of the nozzle are connected inside the product to the 0V and GND
terminal. Do not connect it to objects with a different electrical potential such as
the conductive parts of external devices.

䃂

If the supplied air contains any particles other than air or any corrosive gases,
accidents or problems with operation may occur. In addition, if air which contains
impurities su ch as carbon dus t or air which contains moistu re or oil is used,
accidents or problems with operation may also occur.

䃂

Do not modify the nozzle or install the nozzle to any other appliances, otherwise
correct charge removal performance may not be obtained, and a ccidents or
problems with operation may occur.

5 OPERATION

Use the mode select switches to select the required settings.

①

Face the ionizer toward the electrostatically-charged object and pull the trigger.

②

When the trigger is pulled, dust removal operation will start, and when the trigger is
released, dust removal operation will stop.

䃂

If the lock knob is pushed to the trigger side while the trigger is being pulled, the
trigger will be locked in that position, and discharging operation will be carried out
continuously even after you release your finger from the trigger. To release the
lock, pull the trigger once more and return the lock knob.

6 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

䃂

Be sure to turn off the power and air before carrying out cleaning and maintenance.
Make sure that the supply of air has been fully shut off and that all pressures at the
product and inside the tubes are at zero before continuing. If this is not done, air
pressure may cause operating problems or accidents.

䃂

The discharge needle has a sharp point, so be very careful when cleaning the
needle.

䃂

Clean the discharge needle regularly about once a week, otherwise optimum
charge removal performance may not be obtained and accidents or operating
problems may occur.

䃂

The discharge needle is a consumable part. If charge removal performance does
not return to normal after the discharge needle has been cleaned, then the needle
should be replaced.

Cleaning and replacing the discharge needle
