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. This eliminates also the forces leading to
false weighing results (e.g. false weighing result, floating weighing value).

16.2 Basic safety guidelines

WARNING
The ionizer is designed solely for use in connection with
electronic balances. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Do not use the ionizer in any rooms with explosion
hazard present. Serial installation is not an explosion-
proof one.
Protect the ionizer
humidity/temperature, vapours and dust.
Ensure location free from water/oil.
Do not expose the ionizer to long-term heavy moisture.
Any unexpected condensation (condensation of the air
humidity on the ionizer) may take place when a cold
device is placed in a much warmer environment. In such
circumstances leave the ionizer, not connected to the
power supply, for ca. 2- hours to ensure acclimatisation
to the ambient temperature.
When the ionizer is on, do not touch any ion source, see
the label to the left.
Because a high-voltage technology is used, handle the
ion source and outputs with care.
Do not dismantle and do not modify the ionizer.
Prevent any damage caused by falls, vibrations or
impact, see the label to the left.
