Optional Ionizer 

The XPert Nano’s optional built-in ionizer is designed to control static charge on 
surfaces within the enclosure. The discharge of the ionizer is uniquely located at 
the front face of the work surface, safe from the contaminants and cleaning within. 
 

 

 
The emitters within the ionizer have a finite life and therefore there may be times 
when one might choose to use the enclosure with the ionizer OFF. The 
Blower/Ionizer control switch allows the blower to be operated independently of 
the ionizer. Push the top of the switch to activate the blower only; push the bottom 
to energize the ionizer along with the blower. The green light adjacent to the 
ionizer emitters (on the face of the work surface) will illuminate when the ionizer 
is active. 
 
Refer to the Maintenance section of this User’s Manual to keep the ionizer 
working at its full potential.  Cleaning of the emitter points is recommended every 
two to three months (based on 8-hr daily operation). 
 

ATTENTION: NEVER operate the enclosure in an explosive 
environment. The ionizer may cause detonation.  NEVER 
operate the ionizer without the emitter points installed; damage 
will occur.
