Maintenance

Static Eraser Maintenance

The static eraser is nearly maintenance free, but occasionally clean the case, filter, and electrode
wires. Dirtiness or wearing around the electrode wires could cause a decline in static electricity
erasing capability. In addition, it is recommended that the ion balance be measured to check for a
drop in capacity.

WARNING

Unplug the power cord

Do not disassemble

Prohibited

Do not wet

Check

How to Clean the Electrode Wire

Clean the electrode wire about every 100 hours of use. To prevent electrical shock accidents, be sure
to unplug the power cord from the outlet and wait at least 1 min before cleaning the electrode wires.
Insert a cotton swab into the clearance on the finger guard to clean the electrode wire. If the electrode

is heavily contaminated, clean it with a cotton swab with a little alcohol and remove the stuck dirt. Do
not rub the electrode wire hard for cleaning. Failure to do so can result in a bent wire. Wipe it lightly.

How to Replace the Electrode Wire
Do not replace the electrode wire with a new one by yourself. Contact the store where the product was
purchased.

Static Erasing Capacity Check
Measure ion balance and charge voltage-dampening time using a charge plate monitor.
Reference: IEC61340-5-1・2, ANSI EOS/ ESD S3.1

Adjustment

Because ions are generated with AC output, the SDJ-08S does not have an adjustment feature of ion
balancing. If ion balance is not good, contact the store where the product was purchased.

Cleaning the Case

Use a well-wrung, soft cloth soaked with water to clean the case. Do not use cleaners or other
substances containing surface-active agents as these could have a negative impact on the static
electricity erasing performance.

To prevent electrical shock accidents, be sure to unplug the
power cord from the outlet before inspecting the static eraser.

CAUTION

Do not remove the finger guard. Failure to do so can result in
electric shock and breakdown.
Do not wipe with detergent or solvent. Substances of the sort
can cause cracking and result in electric shock or breakdown.
Do not wet the IPC40-E. Contact with moisture can result in
electric shock or breakdown.
Periodically check the IPC40-E. Failure to perform checks can
result in early breakdown.
