18 Ionizer (factory option)
18.1 General
The ionizer has conductive peaks supplied by high voltage which, based on corona
discharge, generate positively and negatively charged ions in the immediate vicinity.
These are attracted by the electrostatic charge of goods to be weighed and, thus,
neutralise the interfering electrostatic charge. This also does away with the forces
falsifying the weighing (such as falsified weighing result, weighing value drifted).
18.2 Basic Safety Precautions
126
WARNING
The use of ionizer is only intended in combination with
electronic weighing balances. Do not use for any other
purposes.
Never operate the ionizer in explosive environment. The serial
version is not explosion protected.
Protect the ionizer against high air humidity / temperature,
steams and dust;
Take care to select a location free of water and oil
Do not expose the ionizer to strong humidity for extended
periods. Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air
humidity on the appliance) may occur if a cold appliance is
taken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case,
acclimatize the disconnected ionizer for ca. 2 hours at room
temperature.
Whilst the ionizer is switched on, do not touch the ion source;
see sticker on the left side.
In case of smoke development, smell of fire, strong heating-up
of the ionizer or when the red LED starts glowing, turn off the
ionizer immediately and disconnect it from the mains.
If water or other foreign matter enters the ionizer, turn off the
master switch immediately and disconnect it from the mains.
On account of the high voltage technology, handle the ion
source and exits with care.
Do not take apart or modify the ionizer.
