Page 6: Power Requirements
The PC2 will maintain a balance around zero of ±10V or less in a humidity- controlled environment. Performance in extreme environments may vary. When using the optional fan filter, the unit's performance will be reduced between 10-40% depending upon the speed of the blower and the distance to the target. Power Requirements The Aerostat PC2 requires different input voltages depending on heater or without heater. -

5. OPERATION Operating Environment WARNING – Electric Shock Hazard Do not insert anything within the intake or outlet grills. Electric shock may result. The output side of the Blower should not be tilted more than 10 degrees upward above the vertical plain blowing across a work surface/table. This is to prevent any object from penetrating the unit from the output side—electric shock may result. -

6. MAINTENANCE Scheduling The balance of the Model Aerostat PC2 is designed to be maintained by internal circuitry and, after initial setup, should not need further adjustment by the end-user. The PC2 requires little or no user maintenance other than regular cleaning of the emitter points with the built-in brush emitter cleaner or more extensive cleaning of the emitter points, case, and fan. - Page 17 (about one full rotation) to sweep the internal brush over the tips of the emitter points. At the end of the clockwise rotation, release the knob and allow the brush to spring back to its resting position. Repeat this brushing operation 3 to 5 times to ensure maximum cleaning of the emitter point tips.
