7. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE –
Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks.
NOTE –
Never use hard or sharp objects to scrape ionization emitter points.
CAUTION –
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn off power supply before cleaning bar or performing any maintenance on
the system.
CAUTION –
Fire Hazard
Do not turn on power supply with any trace of alcohol or mineral spirits on the
equipment.
The accumulation of contamination on the ionization emitter points and static bar
surfaces will reduce neutralizing efficiency of the bar, therefore it is recommended that
maintenance of the system be performed when the Clean Bar indicator on the display
module illuminates or every three weeks, whichever comes first. Dirty environments may
require more frequent cleaning. Maintenance should be performed by qualified service
personnel only.
Cleaning the Static Bar
A clean brush with nylon bristles should be used to keep the ionization emitter points of
the static bar clean. Periodic use of the brush will prevent deposits from accumulating on
the points. The emitter points must remain sharp for optimum operation.
NOTE –
Do not scrape points with any hard or sharp object that may damage
points.
A. Turn off power supply.
B. Remove dirt particles deposited on the static bar with a dry, stiff nylon bristle brush.
C. Blow off the static bar with clean, dry compressed air.
D. Remove resistant coatings deposited on static bar by wiping with isopropyl alcohol
or mineral spirits applied to a clean cloth. Apply isopropyl alcohol or mineral spirits
to a stiff nylon bristle brush and thoroughly scrub the ionization emitter channels of
the bar.
E. Blow static bar dry with clean, dry compressed air and ensure the bar is completely
dry before re-applying power to the bar.
