    16 Ionizer (Factory option KERN ALJ-A03) 16.1 General information This ionizer is equipped with blades supplied with high voltage, in the immediate vicinity of which positive and negative ions are generated as a result of corona discharge. They are attracted through the weighed material with static charge, thus neutralizing the interfering static charge.
  • Page 83 Always use the OEM power adapter. The printed voltage value must comply with the local voltage. Hazard of harm, ion source blades are very sharp. The ionizer generates poisonous ozone, ensure suitable ventilation. Before start any maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the ionizer from the power supply.

    16.6 Applications The ionizer is designed solely for use in connection with electronic balances! • Discharging solid objects or balance pans. For improved ionization results, switch the blower on. This will make the sample discharge time shorter. • Discharging powder samples. Discharging prevents whirls, a problem for toxic samples.
