Attention – Damage to device! Under no circumstances may the fan cover on the rear side of the device be closed. This would interrupt the supply of cooling medium required in operation. Never touch the piezo crystal at the front of the device with sharp-edged objects. This component may be damaged by improper handling.
Information and obligations for the operator • The system may emit interference. The system has been tested in accordance with EMC legislation. The operator must verify and assure electromagnetic compatibility with other electrical and electronic equipment in the immediate vicinity of the system. •...
Description of device Intended use The piezobrush® PZ3 is a handheld device for generating technical plasma. It is used to pre-treat a wide range of material surfaces before processes such as gluing or printing. It is also possible to use the cleaning effect of the plasma. Only use the device for the intended purposes.
Description of device The individual parts of the generator are shown and named in the diagram below. These terms are used throughout the operating instructions. Component description Module „Standard“ (inserted) Piezo element in module (embedded in module) Module release button (on both sides) Start/Stop button Menu buttons Display...

Component description Plug-in power supply Compartments for optional modules Foam insert Attention! The piezo element is an oscillating component that vibrates mechanically at high frequency. Due to its design, this component cannot be fixed rigidly. For this reason, the component can lie off-center in the interchangeable modules within certain limits. This is not an error or quality defect.
Technical data Electrical data • 24 V DC (device) / 110 – 230 V AC (power supply) Supply voltage • Power consumption max. 18 W • Model Handheld device with plug-in power supply Dimensions • Weight 110 g (not including plug-in power supply) •...
Special note on the operation of the plasma process General description Treating surfaces with atmospheric plasma has several advantages. These are e.g. the increase of the surface energy to produce a better wettability of the surface. An optimal surface wetting is the first and often decisive step to achieve excellent print quality, homogeneous coating, uniform varnishing or an integrally bonded application of adhesives.
Please note that the selected plasma system is suitable for the desired application. Additional information on applications, as well as publications, can be found on the website www.relyon-plasma.com. Carrying out surface treatment Depending on the type and condition of your substrate, pre-cleaning before the plasma process can improve the overall outcome.
Operation Inserting / removing the module The modules are provided with labels in different colours for easy identification. Please do not remove these labels. To insert a module, take it out of the packaging and hold it in the area of the nozzle outlet without touching the piezo element (picture 1).
Attention – Damage to device! Do not reach into the interior of the unit if no module is inserted and do not insert any objects into the opening of the unit other than the modules provided for this purpose. Hold the modules only in the front area as described above and avoid touching the contact board and the piezo element.

Attention - Damage to device! The plasma generator can be damaged if it is operated without air supply. This would interrupt the supply of the cooling medium required during operation. Never cover the air inlet and/or the nozzle outlet during operation. The plasma generator can be damaged if electrically conductive objects are closer than 60 mm to the front third of the plasma generator during operation.
User menu The device starts in the menu item "Home". The home menu provides you with an overview of various pieces of information while you work with the device. To navigate through the menu items, use the " < " (left) and " > " (right) buttons on the keypad.

Process tools As described in section 7.3, the device provides various functions as tools to support the plasma treatment process. • Stopwatch The device measures the duration of plasma generation in 1 second steps from start to stop triggered by pressing of the start/stop button. The value measured last remains in the home menu until the next plasma generation is started.
Working with module „Standard“ This module is used for various applications on non-electrically conductive substrates / materials such as plastics, ceramics, glass, natural fibres, leather, textiles etc. The range of the permissible working distance is approx. 2 to 10 mm. Electrically conductive substrates such as metals or conductive polymers cannot be reliably treated with this nozzle.
Taking out of service • Press the start/stop button again to stop plasma generation. • Disconnect the power supply once work is completed. Maintenance Cleaning • Clean the plasma generator only on the outside. • Make sure that the plasma generator is disconnected from the power supply. •...
