1. Vermason TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB 7525 Bench Top Zero Volt loniser Installation and Operating Instructions Figure 1 Vermason 200200 Bench Top Zero Volt loniser Description The 200200 is a compact and lightweight dual steady state DC auto balancing benchtop ioniser The unit is normally placed at one end of the workbench or area to be neutralised It may also be wall mounted or mounted on a shelf The ionizer s neutralisation time will be best approximately 30 48cm to 91 44cm directly in front of the unit and will increase as the distance from the unit increases Figure 2 Area of Optimum Charge Neutralisation lonizers should be considered as a method for charge neutralisation in cases where grounding cannot be achieved Air ionization can neutralise the static charge on insulated and isolated objects by producing separate charges in the molecules of the gases of the surrounding air When a static charge is present on objects in the work environment it will be neutralised by attracting opposite polarity charges from the ionized air Note that ionization systems should not be used as a primary means of charge control on conductors or people EN 61340 5 2 paragraph 5 2 9 As with all ionizers periodic mainten ance will be needed to provide optimum performance The following list contains important points for the selection process charge neutralisa tion discharge time ion balan2. way Made in America Status of the unit can be monitored remotely via the RS485 data ports Please contact the factory for the necessary polling utility software Operation Set the fan speed switch on the rear of the unit to the LOW MED or HI position Higher airflow will result in faster neutralisation rates Position the unit so that the maximum airflow is directed at the items or area to be neutralised Turn the unit ON When the unit is first turned on it conducts a self test The audible alarm will sound and then the LED will cycle through RED YELLOW and then GREEN The LED will remain GREEN during normal operation Balance Adjustment The 200200 is an auto balancing unit However tuning or manual adjustment can be accomplished by inserting a small screwdriver or trimmer adjustment tool into the balance adjustment hole located on the right rear of the unit To increase the output in a positive direction turn the potentiometer in a clockwise direction Conversely to increase the output in a negative direction turn the potentiometer in a counter clockwise direction Maintenance Alarms WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing of internal parts unless you are qualified to do so The input voltage may be verified or reset by removing the back case by disengaging the 3 sc
