Troubleshooting
1) Verify the test equipment is operating properly, check or service the battery (if battery operated);
following the manufacturer’s operating instructions for proper operation.
2) Check that the test equipment is properly grounded.
3) Verify there are no large conductive objects in the area that could cause ion attraction to their surface.
4) Check that items in the work area are not blocking the ionizer airflow.
5) Check ionizer fans for proper operation.
6) Check air filters for clogging with dust and dirt. Clean or replace air filters as necessary.
7) Check emitter points (they should be clean and not bent or broken).
8) Check electrical equipment grounds for grounding integrity.
9) If applicable, adjust the offset voltage of the ionizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: Typical settings for bench top ionizers are 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 inches) from components or
subassemblies and “high” fan speed. Overhead ionizer typical settings are 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 inches)
above work surface and “high” fan speed.
