Maintenance
CLEANING THE EMITTER POINTS
Shifts in offset voltage (balance) are often caused
by particle build-up on the ionizer’s emitter points.
To maintain optimum neutralization efficiency and
operation, cleaning should be performed on a regular
basis.
Use the Desco
Emitter Point Cleaners or a swab
dampened with Isopropyl alcohol to clean the ionizer’s
emitter points.
1. Turn the unit OFF and unplug the power cord.
2. Open the rear screen by loosening the screw and
swinging the grill to one side.
Figure 4. Opening the Trustat Bench Top Ionizer’s rear
screen in order to access the emitter points
The emitter points should not require replacement
during the life of the unit with normal handling. If
necessary, Desco
Replacement Emitter Points
are available for purchase.
Compliance Verification
Compliance Verification should be per ESD TR53.
Offset voltage (balance) and both polarity’s discharge
time should be checked on every ionizer periodically
using an Ionization Test Kit or a Charged Plate
Analyzer. Clean the emitter points (with electrical power
off), adjust offset voltage (balance) to zero and then
re-test for offset voltage (balance) and discharge times
recording the measurements.
Accessories
60509 IONIZER MOTION SENSOR
Desco offers the
Desco Ionizer Motion Sensor as
an accessory for your Trustat Bench Top Ionizer. Use
it to activate your ionizer when an operator is present
and deactivate it when the workstation is vacant. The
Ionizer Motion Sensor conserves energy and reduces
ionizer maintenance.
3. Clean the emitter points using the included Emitter
Point Cleaners or a swab dampened with Isopropyl
alcohol.
4. Reattach the rear screen.
5. Plug in the power cord and turn the unit ON.
6. Verify the performance of the ionizer by using a
charged plate analyzer or ionization test kit.
