** Direct current
1.2 Safety Precautions
CAUTION:** READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE INSTALLING, MAKING CONNECTIONS, OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. RETAIN ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The equipment is supplied with a grounded power cable, which must be connected to a compatible grounded power receptacle.
Do not position the equipment such that it is difficult to disconnect the power cord from the power receptacle.
Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or tripping hazard.
Operate the equipment only under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.
The equipment is for indoor use only. Use the equipment only in dry locations.
The equipment should only be operated by properly trained personnel.
Turn the equipment off when not in use.
Disconnect the equipment from the power supply during cleaning or maintenance.
Do not touch the electrode pins while the equipment is turned on.

1.3 Features
The Ionizer 100A generates bipolar ions continuously by DC corona discharge separately from positive and negative discharge electrodes and directs the ionized air onto the charged body to eliminate static electricity. The generated ions are well-balanced in polarity and can eliminate static electricity regardless of the polarity of the charged body.
Static electricity
Generally, insulators such as plastics are prone to be charged with static electricity when the ambient relative humidity is below 45%RH. This may affect weighing and cause a measurement error of several milligrams. The Ionizer 100A can eliminate static electricity very effectively.

2.2 Installing Components
Follow the steps below to install the ionizer.
Step 1. Place the ionizer on the table next to the balance as shown below. The distance between the ionizer and the balance should be more than 20 mm. Step 2. Adjust the height and angle of the ionizer by loosening the two lock knobs on each side of the ionizer and moving it to the optimal position.

Step 3. Tighten the two lock knobs.
Step 4. Connect the AC adapter to a power outlet.
