ER-V
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
This product is designed to remove static electricity
for industrial use. It is not intended to be used to
prevent accidents, either to humans or properties,
or for safety maintenance.
Mounting
Wiring
Nozzle
There are 8 nozzle models available (as of September 2003).
Select the suitable model for your application.
Appropriate air pressure for each nozzle should be used.
To fit the air nozzle, screw it to the product till it stops.
The outer diameter of the air tube for the air inlet of this product
should be "6 mm "0.236 in.
Make sure that clean air (air containing no water, no oil and no
dust) should be supplied.
Piping
The charge removal effect will deteriorate if dir t is stuck to the tip
of the discharge needle. If a check signal is output, clean the
discharge needle.
Clean the discharge needle periodically even if no check signal is
output.
The discharge needle’s life-time is approximately 10,000 hours.
Please change it after this period has elapsed. Use only ER-V
discharge needle ER-VANT (optional).
If a check signal is output even after the discharge needle has
been cleaned, replace the discharge needle.
If an error signal is output, it may indicate an abnormal discharge.
Check the following points:
The ionizer main unit cannot be used by itself.
Always be sure to attach a nozzle (optional) before
use.
Always be sure that the power supply and the air supply
are both turned off before inspection and cleaning.
Since the tip of the discharge needle is pointed,
take sufficient care when cleaning.
Maintenance
1
Check that the power supply and the air supply are both turned off.
2Remove the discharge needle from the rear of the main unit.
3Remove the dirt on and around the discharge needle with a
cotton swab soaked in alcohol.
4Check the discharge needle once more to make sure it is free
from foreign particles such as thread scraps.
5After cleaning the discharge needle, mount it.
Procedure for cleaning
1
Check that the power supply and the air supply are both turned off.
2Remove the discharge needle from the rear of the main unit.
3After checking the there is no contamination on or around the
new discharge needle, mount the nozzle.
Replacing the discharge needle
Others
Make sure to use the DC power supply insulated by an
isolation transformer, etc. for this product.
If an auto-transformer, etc. (single winding transformer) is
used, this product or the power supply may be damaged due
to short-circuit.
Do not use this product beyond its rated specifications. Doing so
can cause product breakdown, non-function, or damage.
Furthermore, it will also cause a marked reduction in product life.
Never disassemble, repair, modify, or misuse this product, as this
can cause an accident or malfunction.
Do not throw this product into fire: it may explode or generate
poisonous gas.
Since high voltage is applied to the discharge needle, keep your fingers,
body, metal, e.g. wires or tools, etc., away from the needle. If you fail to
keep away from the needle, electric shock or malfunction may be the result.
This product is not explosion-proof. Do not use it in places where
combustible or flammable material is present. There is a danger
of catching fire.
Since this product emits ozone into the atmosphere, circulate air
to prevent foul smells. If ozone lingers for long periods, metals,
etc. may oxidize / decay. Furthermore, do not try to confirm that
foul smells are caused by the ozone by drawing your face near the
nozzle outlet and air outlet: you may hurt your nose, throat, etc.
Do not use this product in steamy or dusty places, in places
where water and oil splash, or where spatter flies when welding.
If the power supply is switched on immediately after being
switched off, fault output may be generated. After the power
supply is switched off, wait at least 1 sec. before switching it on
again.
Confirm the wir ing and piping state before supplying power or air.
Wrong wiring and piping may cause malfunction.
Do not use this product for any purpose other than charge removal.
When this product is no longer usable or required, dispose of
properly as industrial waste.
If the air supplied to this product is turned ON / OFF by a solenoid
valve, for example, make sure to turn the discharge halt input
ON / OFF simultaneously.
Use air (dry, clean air) for the fluid. Any fluid other than air (dry,
clean air) or even air containing corrosive gas may cause an
accident or malfunction.
Do not use air that contains foreign particles, e.g. carbon dust,
dust, water or oil. Since these substances may cause electric
shock or malfunction, take appropriate countermeasures, e.g.
install an airfilter, air-drier, etc.
5 mm
0.197 in
When this product is mounted in a
housing, use M4 screws (please
arrange separately).
If more than 2 units are mounted
close together, keep 5 mm 0.197 in
or more between them. If used at
distances of less than 5 mm 0.197 in,
performance may be affected.
Ensure sufficient space for daily check and maintenance.
Make sure to ground this product. If the grounding is not proper,
charge removal may be impaired. (Direct earth or power supply
common earth)
If an electrostatically charged object is in contact with or near
another object, charge removal may be impaired. Install this
product such that ions are blown against the electrostatically
charged object, when the object is at a distance from other
objects or is floating in mid-air.
Make sure that the supply voltage is within the tolerance as
per specifications.
Make sure that the discharge needle unit is mounted correctly
on the main unit. Check the tip of the discharge needle for a
chip or contamination. If the discharge needle is chipped or
dirty, clean it or replace it with a new needle.
Check that no foreign materials are inside the nozzle, that the
nozzle is mounted correctly and that the ionizer is set up correctly.
Make sure that the ground terminal is connected completely.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring. Otherwise,
there is a danger of electric shock.
After wiring, reconfir m the wiring connections before switching on
the power supply.
Note, wrong wiring will damage the product.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power
lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause
malfunction due to induction.
