WARNING

Never use this product as device for personnel protection.

●

In case of using devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws or

●

standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in
each region or country.

1 FOR SAFETY USE

WARNING

This product produces high voltages.

●

Do not use this product in places where there may be a danger of flammable or

●

combustible items being present.
To prevent electric shock and to conduct proper discharge, be sure to ground a frame

●

ground (F.G.) terminal of a controller.
Do not place hands near the discharge needle. Doing so may cause electric shock.

●

Since the tip of the discharge needle is sharp, take sufficient care in handling the

●

discharge needle, or injuries may result.

The high-voltage cable between the head and the high-voltage unit must be xed and

●

the minimum bend radius is R30 mm or more.
In case of using at the bend radius R30 mm or less and using at moving part may

cause re and break down, etc. of the high-voltage cable.

Clean the discharge needle regularly (about once a week). Otherwise, optimum charge

●

removal performance may not be achieved, and accidents or operating problems may occur.

If this product is used in a conned space, ozone emitted from this product may be

●

detrimental. Be sure to provide ventilation.

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

●

the nose and throat.

CAUTION

This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

●

Do not use this product for purposes other than electric charge removal.

●

Do not use this product in environments which are outside the specification range,

●

otherwise operating problems or damage may occur. In addition, the operating life of the

product may become signicantly reduced.
This product is a precision device. Do not apply a shock to it by dropping, for example.

●

Accidents or operating problems may occur.
Never disassemble, repair or modify this product. Accidents or operating problems may occur.

●

Do not throw this product in re. It may explode or toxic fumes may be generated.

●

Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the

●

same raceway.
This can cause malfunction due to induction.
When connecting/removing the head or performing wiring or inspection work, be

●

sure to turn off the power rst. Not doing so may result in accidents, electric shock or

operating problems.
After connecting the cables, check that the connections are correct before turning on the

●

power. If the cables are connected incorrectly, operating problems or accidents may occur.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.

●

In case using switching regulator, be sure to connect F.G. terminal.

●

When using as a CSA and UL compliant product, use a CLASS 2 CSA/UL certied

●

power supply, or a CSA/UL certied power supply that has been evaluated as a Limited
Power Source as specied in CAN/CSA-C22.2NO.60950-1/UL60950-1.

Do not use a cable with any damage such as cracks or splitting. Risk of accidents and

●

failure.

Avoid use in a location with signicant steam or dust, or in a location where the product

●

may come in direct contact with water, oil, or welding spatter.
Avoid use at an elevation higher than 2000m, and outdoor use.

●

Do not touch the discharge needle with hard objects such as tools. If the discharge

●

needle becomes broken, it will not provide sufcient charge removal performance, and

moreover operating problems or accidents may occur.
During installation, fasten the product securely. If it is not securely fastened or it is

●

subjected to continuous vibration or shock, accidents or operating problems may result.

Power cable that are 0.15mm2 or more and 30m or less in total length for wiring.

●

Also, keep the wiring as short as possible in order to prevent noise.
When disposing of this product, treat it appropriately as industrial waste.

●

After starting discharge, it takes approximately 30 minutes for charge removal

●

performance to stabilize. Therefore, wait 30 minutes before adjusting ion balance.

Use the correct combination of head, discharge needle unit and controller.

onto the equipment housing. In case using this prod­uct in where there is vibration, use spring washers

M4 screw

etc. as a countermeasure.

● Loosen the angle adjustment screw, adjust the head
angle, and then fasten the head with the tightening

torque of 0.5 N∙m or less.

● The position of the head mounting bracket of the

Notes: 1) Be sure to ground the equipment housing onto which the head is mounted.

2) The distance between the head and the charge removing object should be 30 mm or more.If the static

buildup of the charge removing object is 30 kV or more, set the distance to 50 mm or more.

3) If there is metal near the head or between the head and the charge removing object, ion is absorbed,
hindering appropriate static removal. Install the head based on the above.

When using M6 screws: 2.5N·m

Notes: 1) Do not place any objects on top of the high-voltage unit.

2) When using multiple heads, keep the distance of at least 10 mm

between the high-voltage units.

5 PIPING

● Air supplied to this product will reduce contamination of the discharge needle and
improve the charge removal speed.

● The outer diameter of the air tube to t to the air inlet portion of this product should
be ø6 mm.

● Make sure that clean air (air containing no water, no oil and no dust) should be
supplied.

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

is extended or pneumatic components (e.g., needle valve, speed controller, mini
lter) are added, keep an eye on the pressure supply to the ionizer making sure

it is not in short supply. For the pneumatic components, select those that can

accommodate the air supply ow rate.

SETTING

● The amount of ion generation is set to enable appropriate charge removal.

● After mounting the head, follow the procedures below to congure the setting.

● When air is used, congure the setting while supplying air.

● Start the setting after 30 minuets of the discharge starting.

How to set the amount of ion generation

1.

Turn the discharge control switch ON and the discharge

Discharge control switch

control input “open” to start discharge.
Make sure that the discharge indicator (green) lights up.

2.

Depending on the installation distance, set the frequency using the discharge
frequency setting switch.

● When air is supplied,

Set the frequency higher than when air is not supplied. Try 50 Hz (factory default

setting) first to see if it removes static electricity. Since using air, discharge
distance from the object can be longer.

● If the amount of static build up on the charge removing object is large,
Set the frequency lower or make the installation distance shorter.

● In case the voltage resistance of the object is low,
Set the frequency higher or make the installation distance longer.

Note: Depending on the head, different frequencies are accepted. If it is set to a wrong frequency, the discharge stops

and the discharge indicator blinks. For accepted frequencies, refer to "11

Generally, ion reaching the charge removing object is affected by installation environment (nearby metals,
temperature, humidity, etc.). Although this product has been adjusted for ion balance at the factory, the preadjusted
ion balance may differ, depending on the customer’s installation environment. For more appropriate static removal,
please adjust ion balance according to your installation environment.

Turn to “-” to shift ion balance to the “-“ side.
Turn to “+” to shift ion balance to the “+” side.
