Ionizer (AX-ION-25)

The AX-ION-25 ionizer removes static electricity by irradiating the target object with positive or negative
ions, which are generated from four discharge electrodes by DC corona discharge. Ordinarily, insulators
such as powders, filters, and weighing paper tend to be charged when the humidity is 45% RH or less,
and an error of a few milligrams may occur during weighing. By removing static from the weighing object
with the ionizer, it is possible to eliminate the error in the weighing value due to charging, and correct
weighing can be performed. For details, refer to the separate instruction manual in "1.1. Detailed
Manuals".

9.1. Using the Ionizer

Step 1. Make sure that the AC adapter of the balance is not connected, and then connect the balance
and the ionizer (as noted in "2. Assembly and Installation").
Step 2. Connect the AC adapter, plug it in, and then turn on the power. The power lamp of the ionizer
lights up.
Step 3. Place the target object within the effective range of static elimination.
Step 4. Hold your hand over the IR sensor (touchless infrared proximity sensor) on the front of the
ionizer to start static elimination. The ION lamp indicating that static elimination is in progress
lights up.
Step 5. Refer to the figure below for the effective range of static elimination, and perform static
elimination. At factory setting, when 3 seconds have passed from the start of static elimination,
the ION lamp indicating that static elimination is in progress turns off and static elimination stops.
