126 ABP-BA-e-181018 Ionizer (factory option)18.1 GeneralThe ionizer has conductive peaks supplied by high voltage which, based on coronadischarge, generate positively and negatively charged ions in the immediate vicinity.These are attracted by the electrostatic charge of goodsto be weighed and, thus,neutralise the interfering electrostatic charge. This also does away with the forcesfalsifying the weighing (such as falsified weighing result, weighing value drifted).18.2 Basic Safety PrecautionsWARNINGThe use of ionizer is only intended in combination withelectronic weighing balances. Do not use for any otherpurposes.Never operate the ionizer in explosive environment. The serialversion is not explosion protected.Protect the ionizer against high air humidity / temperature,steams and dust;Take care to select a location free of water and oilDo not expose the ionizer to strong humidity for extendedperiods. Non-permitted condensation (condensation of airhumidity on the appliance) may occur if a cold appliance istaken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case,acclimatize the disconnected ionizer for ca. 2 hours at roomtemperature.Whilst the ionizer is switched on, do not touch the ion source;see sticker on the left side.In case of smoke development, smell of fire, strong heating-upof the ionizer or when the red LED starts glowing, turn off theionizer immediately and disconnect it from the mains.If water or other foreign matter enters the ionizer, turn off themaster switch immediately and disconnect it from the mains.On account of the high voltage technology, handle the ionsource and exits with care.Do not take apart or modify the ionizer.
