Static Eliminator - Maintenance

EXAIR Static Eliminators
neutralize and clean by
blanketing a surface with static
eliminating ions.

To determine the effectiveness

of EXAIRs Static Eliminators,
use the Model 7905 Digital
Static Meter.

Simply measure the voltage on

the part prior to ionizing it.
Ionize the surface, then
measure the voltage again.
It should read zero.

Static Eliminator - Maintenance

If you do not have a Static
Meter, follow these steps to
maintain proper function of
your EXAIR Static Eliminators.
Identify the emitter(s):
Super Ion Air Knives and
Standard Ion Air Knives use an
Ionizing Bar (top photo) that
has multiple emitter points
across its length.
Ion Air Guns, Ion Air Jets
(bottom photo), and
Ion Air Cannons have one
emitter point on the inside
diameter of the air outlet.

Static Eliminator - Maintenance

First, check for any accumulation
of dust or debris on the surface of
the ionizing point as this will
degrade the effectiveness of the
Static Eliminator.
Remove these contaminants with
a small non-metallic brush.

NOTE: Never clean an ionizer with

the power on!

Second, use a voltmeter, to

check the voltage between
the emitter point of the
Static Eliminator to ground.

Static Eliminator - Maintenance

The voltage for an Ionizing Bar

from the emitter point to ground
will measure approximately
90-150VAC. Set your voltmeter to
read this range.
Place one probe on the emitter
point and the other on the
grounded aluminum channel of
the Ionizing Bar.

Static Eliminator - Maintenance

Voltage for an Ion Air Cannon, Ion Air Gun,

Ion Air Jet or Ionizing Point measured from
the emitter point to ground will be 510580VAC.
Set your voltmeter to read this range.
Place one probe on the emitter point and
the other on the grounded housing.

Third, check the voltage of the

EXAIR Power Supply. This
requires a volt meter and a
high voltage probe to be
inserted into the power supply
connector.
(A high voltage probe must be
used or permanent damage to
the volt meter will result.)

Static Eliminator - Maintenance

With the power supply off, connect the ground of the high voltage
probe to the threaded ground stud on the power supply.
Turn the power supply on, then insert the high voltage probe into
one of the threaded connectors.

Static Eliminator - Maintenance

The voltage measured should

be 4,700 VAC to 5,700 VAC if
the power supply is functioning
properly.
