3.1 Operating Environment Do not use this Blower in an explosive environment. Poorly maintained Ionizers could produce miniscule electric arcs at the emitter points. This may cause detonation in an Warning: explosive environment. Read the Power Requirements section in Chapter 1 and the Operating Environment section in this chapter before applying power to the unit.
3.2 Turning on the Blower Fan Speed Selection Before you plug in the Blower, set the sensor on/off switch to Sensor Off. For accurate readings, allow the Blower to operate for a warm-up period of 3-5 minutes before making a final balance adjustment prior to performing delay time or offset balance testing 1.

Due to the operating differences between sensors, it is always best to perform a physical disconnection/reconnection of the sensor input cable while performing discharge verification testing. Do not use the sensor on/off slide switch for this function. 1. Use a small flatblade screwdriver to slide the sensor on/off switch to Sensor Off.
3.5 Alarms The red alarm LED, located on the front panel of the Blower, lights up in the event of an alarm condition. If your Blower features an optional audible alarm, it will also sound. It is normal for the alarm LED to momentarily flash on and then off upon initial power up of the Blower.
4.1 Maintenance Scheduling The Model 5802i is designed to be maintained primarily by internal feedback circuitry. It requires no user maintenance other than periodic cleaning of the emitter points, case, and fan. Simco-Ion recommends cleaning the emitter points once a week for critical applications or once a month for normal maintenance.
4.2 Emitter Point Inspection & Cleaning • Use cleanroom-compatible cleaning cloths • Use cleanroom-compatible cloth swabs (polyester cloth is recommended) • Use cleaning solution of 50% IPA (electronic-grade isopropanol alcohol)/50% de-ionized water • Use Clean dry air (CDA) Periodically inspect emitter points for signs of point breakage, buildup on the tips, or other notable degradation of the emitter tip.
4.3 Using the Auto-Clean System Option The Auto-Clean System features a brush mechanism that sweeps the emitter points when the blower is turned off and on, removing particles from emitter points. To use the Auto-Clean System: 1. Remove any contamination-sensitive objects around the blower.
4.4 Emitter Ring Cleaning If the emitter ring is dirty, the alarm may light, even when the blower provides accurate discharge times. If you have the optional audible alarm, it will sound when an alarm condition occurs. To clean the emitter ring: 1.
4.5 Fan & Finger Guard Cleaning First clean both the fan blades and the finger guard with clean, dry compressed air. It is not necessary to remove the fan guard to blow- off the fan blades with compressed air. Moisten a cleanroom cloth with the diluted 50% IPA solution. Thoroughly wipe down the exposed surfaces of the stainless steel sensor grill particularly the mounting eyelets, to remove any accumulated dirt on the mounting screws or isolating washers.
