Charging function
● By setting the discharge frequency setting switch for head 1 to
"+ Charge" or "- Charge", head 1 can beused as charger.
● In the + charging mode, the upper 3 lamps of the level meter indi-
cator light, while in the - charging mode, the lower 3 lamps light.
Notes: 1) Immediately after changing the discharging frequency setting switch, discharging stops and the level meter
indicator lamps go out. To enable the charging function, turn charging OFF and then ON again.
2) Head 2 performs normal removal of static electricity.
3) The charging function cannot be used in the ER-X001. (The discharging stops.)

OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
<Alarm output>
● Normally OFF
● The alarm output switches from OFF to ON at the occurrence of a reduction in ion
generation, installation error, excessive discharge to nearby metals and abnormal
setup data, etc.
● During an alarm, discharge (charge removal) continues.
<Error output>
● Normally ON (Turning ON after 3 seconds of power suppling)
● The error output switches from ON to OFF at the occurrence of abnormal
discharge, output short circuit, etc.
● During an error, discharge (charge removal) stops.
● The error will not be cleared until its cause is eliminated and the power or
discharge control switch is turned on again.
● In addition to above, when setting error output changeover switch-off "DSC", the
error output switches from ON to OFF at the stop discharging with discharge
control switch or discharge control input.
Note: Refer to "

TROUBLE SHOOTING" for actions to be taken at the occurrence of an alarm and error.
<Forced output functions>
● With this product, alarm output and error output can be forcedly-outputed by
setting the discharge frequency setting switch for head 2 to "Test A"or "Test E",
respectively.

Description
Remedy
Check whether the discharge control switch is ON, the discharge
control input is not shorted or discharge frequency setting switch
is not at "Test A" or "Test E". In the case of ER-X008, check
that the discharge frequency setting switch is neither at 70 Hz
nor 100 Hz. In the case of ER-X001, check that the discharge
frequency setting switch is at either 20 Hz or 50 Hz.
Check whether all the discharge needle unit is properly fitted
to the main body.
Clean the discharge needle and its surroundings.
Refer to "
10
MAINTENANCE" for details.
If the CHECK indicator (orange) does not turn off even after
cleaning, replace the discharge needle unit, as it may be worn.
Check whether the F.G. terminal is connected.
Referring to "
3
INSTALLATION" place the head away from
nearby metals. Higher discharge frequency may help reduce
excessive discharge.
Turn on the power again. If this error occurs as a result of
power shutoff during setup, press the SET UP button again to
complete setup.
Check whether the head is installed in appropriate
environment. Also, check whether any metal may come close
to the discharge needle.
A large amount of static buildup on the charge removing object
may cause abnormal discharge. Increase the installation
distance and the speed of charge removal with air.
Foreign objects may cause abnormal discharge. Clean the
discharge needle and its surroundings before use.
If the temperature environment changes rapidly, abnormal
discharge may result due to dew condensation. Clean the
discharge needle and its surroundings, and use it under a
stable environment.
Water or oil content in the air attached to the discharge needle
may cause abnormal discharge. When air is used, use clean
dry air only.
Use the correct combination of head and controller.
Check whether the head is connected to the controller.
If the error does not clear after turning on the power again and
taking the above actions, contact us.
Press the SET UP button to lock in the setting.
It takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to complete the setup.
Check that the position of the ion balance setting switch is in

Check whether the output is shorted or whether the output
load is too high.

MAINTENANCE
● Be sure to turn off the power and air before performing maintenance work.
● Since the tip of the discharge needle is pointed, take sufficient care when cleaning.
● Take care not to damage the tip of the discharge needle.
● Clean the discharge needle and its surroundings, where dirt or dust accumulates
after long use.
● Clean it regularly, about once a week. Otherwise optimum charge removal
performance may not be achieved, and accidents or operating problems may occur.
● The discharge needle is a consumable part. If charge removal performance does
not return to normal after the discharge needle has been cleaned, then the needle
unit should be replaced.
● When replacing the discharge needle unit because of natural wear and use, replace
all units at the same time.
How to clean the discharge part
1. Always make sure that the discharge control switch or the power is OFF.
2. Remove any dirt from the discharge needle and its surroundings using a brush,
cotton swab, etc. moistened with alcohol.
＜Except ER-X001＞
Air outlet
＜ER-X001＞
Air outlet
● In case of supplying air, there is possibility that around discharge needle or entire
discharge unit get dirty by oil or moisture included in the supplying air. Before
replacing the discharge unit, check the blot around discharge needle and clean the
entire unit and check the dischargebility is recovered. (the discharge needle unit
can be cleaned up easily with commercial super sonic washer.)
How to replace discharge needle unit
＜Except ER-X001＞
1. Slide the lock release lever of the discharge needle unit in the arrow 1 direction
shown in the illustration below.
2. Pull out the discharge needle unit toward the arrow 2 direction.

3. Insert the discharge needle unit (sold separately) in the arrow direction.
4. Slide the lock release lever of the discharge needle unit in the arrow 4 direction to
lock in the discharge needle unit.
Notes: 1) Do not touch the interior of the main body when the discharge needle unit is removed. Doing so will cause
accidents or operating problems.
2) An O-ring is used at the base of the discharge needle. When replacing the discharge needle unit, make sure
that the O-ring is in place.
＜ER-X001＞
1. Turn the discharge needle unit counterclockwise (CCW) and pull out.
2. Insert the discharge needle unit (sold separately) vertically into the main body,
and turn clockwise (CW) all the way to the back.

Notes: 1) Do not use this product if the discharge needle unit is not inserted all the way to the back. It may cause an
accident or failure.
2) If the discharge needle unit is inserted at a slant and turned forcibly, the screw threads may strip and the unit
may not be inserted all the way to the back.
