Replacing the Ionizing Wires
To replace an Ionizing Wire or check for shorting Cell Plates the Cell must be
removed from the Ventilator. To remove a Cell, proceed as follows:
1. Place the ladder directly under the first Cell to be removed.
Caution: If the High Volt wires are still attached to the Cell and a Standard Safety Voltage Test has
not be conducted, the test must be conducted as described on page 4-5.
Extreme Caution: Each Cell weighs 53 lbs. and may be awkward to handle while on the ladder
and carrying down the ladder. Extreme care must be taken to avoid damaging the Cell. Do not grip
or push on the Cell plates or the ionizer wires.
2. If there is no voltage from the Standard Safety Voltage Test pull off the lead wires from the Cell, and
to keep the wires out of the way, slide them onto the Receiving Studs located above the Cell (Refer
to Figure 6-51-1).
3. Slowly pull the Cell straight out and carefully carry down the ladder. It may be helpful to use the
ladder as a guide and slide the Cell down the ladder.
To replace an Ionizing Wire place the Cell on a work bench and proceed as follows:
1. Remove all of the broken wires from the Cell mounting brackets (Refer to Figure
2. Install the new wire as follows:
a)
Insert hook of one spring into the hole.
b)
Use long-nose pliers and carefully pull second spring until the hook can be secured in mounting
bracket hole.
