– Operate the Aerostat XC2 ionizer for an initial 24 hours in the application area before conducting any performance measurements. Place the Aerostat XC2 approximately 1 to 4 feet (0.3 to 1.3m) from objects to be neutralized or from the critical work area. Discharge times are longer, the further away the XC2 is placed from the target area.
XC2 to a fixed location using 5/16" (8 mm) diameter screw hardware (not provided). Once the Aerostat XC2 is secured to a surface, the mounting stand can be adjusted and locked to the desired position. Loosen, but do not completely remove, the knobs on each side of the blower.
Fan Speed Adjustment The airflow (fan speed) may be adjusted using the Fan Speed slide switch on the back of the Aerostat XC2. The XC2 Fan can be set to Low, Medium or High. Alarm There are two red LED alarm indicators located on the front panel. FAN will indicate a stalled fan.
Balance The Aerostat XC2 has a balance adjust control for setting the initial balance of the blower. The internal feedback control system will then maintain the balance of the XC2 to +/-10V around the initial balance set point.
The Aerostat XC2 blower should be OFF when using the push-button emitter point cleaner. Do not clean the emitter points while the blower is operating. Alarms There are two red LED indicators located on the front panel: : When constantly lit, the fan is not rotating properly (stalled fan). This alarm will clear itself if the fan can resume normal operation.
No disassembly of the original rear fan guard is required. The foam air filter can be cleaned and reused. Simco-Ion also offers a replacement filter pack (see Section 8 Parts and Accessories).
6. MAINTENANCE Maintenance Scheduling The balance of the Model Aerostat XC2 is designed to be maintained by internal circuitry and, after initial set-up, should not need further adjustment by the end- user. The XC2 requires little or no user maintenance other than periodic cleaning of the emitter points with the push button cleaner or more extensive cleaning of the emitter cartridge, case, and fan.
