neering, and have left the factory in a technically and operationally safe condition. If used improperly, the units may nevertheless be hazardous to personnel and may cause injury or damage. Read the operating instruc- tions carefully and observe the safety instructions. 2.1 Identification of risks and hazards Possible risks and hazards resulting from the use of the units are referred to in these operating instructions by the following symbols: Warning! This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations which, if carried out improperly, may result in serious personal injuries. Caution! This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations which, if carried out improperly, may result in damage to property. 2.2 Contact protection As the site of installation and/or use of the units is outside the control of Eltex, contact protection against inadvertent contact of the emission tip by personnel as specified by the employers’ liability insurance association have to be provided (e.g. DGUV V3 in Germany). Contact protection made of conductive material must professionally be grounded. 2.3 Technical advance The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical specifications without prior notice in order to adapt the units to state-of- the-art engineering. Eltex will provide the latest information on any changes or modifications in the operating instructions on request. 2.4 Proper use The RX22 Ion Blower Unit STATICJET must be used only for discharging static charges from material surfaces. Other uses are not permitted. The manufacturers will not assume any liability and warranty if the units are used improperly or outside the intended purpose. Modifications or changes made to the power supplies are not permitted. Use only original Eltex spare parts and equipment.

Warning! Carefully observe the following notes and the complete chapter 2 "Safety”, page 8! • Before carrying out repairs, cleaning or maintenance work and before resetting after malfunctions, switch off the unit and disconnect the mains supply voltage (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 15, chapter 6 "Trouble shooting”, page 17). • Any work involving the units must be carried out by qualified electri- cians (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 15, chapter 6 "Trouble shoo- ting”, page 17). • Before carrying out any work involving the units, the machine which has the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET fitted must not be in operation (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 15). • A permanent ground contact must be made via the grounding connec- tion (3, Fig. 1). The ground cable should have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm² (see chapter 3.2 "Ground connection”, page 12). • A 24 VDC line current, designed for a min. current of 120 mA per unit, is required for operating the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET (see chap- ter 3.4 "Connecting the supply voltage”, page 12, chapter 4 "Opera- tion”, page 14). • Before starting up the ion blower unit the user must make sure that the unit has been installed and assembled correctly. Then first activate the air and then the supply voltage (see chapter 4.1 "Startup”, page 14). • The maximum rated pressure is 0.2 MPa (see chapter 3.3 "Connecting the air hose”, page 12). • The internal emission tip of the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET must not be damaged. For trouble-free operation, the tip must be straight and sharply pointed (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 15). • Check the units at regular intervals and before startup for any damage. Any damaged components must be repaired or replaced before conti- nuing to operate the unit, or the units must be disabled. • Make sure that the units are clean at all times. Dirt results in malfunctions and in premature wear of the units. Do not immerse the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET in solvent. Allow the solvent to evaporate completely before restarting the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 15). • The operation of the RX22 ion blower units STATICJET can generate ozone. The ozone concentration levels developing near the units depend on many diffe-rent factors such as site of installation, air circu- lation, etc., and can therefore not be specified in general terms. If the maximum allowable concentration of ozone must be observed at

on site by the operator. The AGW value (maximum admissible concentration) serves to assess the ozone concentration at the workplace. The user must make sure that the appropriate national AGW value is at no times exceeded, e.g. in Germany the ozone concentration occurring during the operation of the system must not exceed the recommended value based on interna- tional limits of 0.06 ml/m³ (0.12 mg/m³). • Mechanical or electrical modifications of the RX22 ion blower units STAITCJET are not permitted. • Depending on the air pressure selected, flow noise developing during the operation of the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET may generate noise emission levels > 85 dB (A); the appropriate PSA (personal pro- tective equipment / hearing protection) should be provided; for further details, see chapter 8 "Technical specifications RX22 STATICJET”, page 19.

3.1 Assembling the RX22 Ion Blower Unit STATICJET The terminals of the ion blower unit must be freely accessible at all times and the display LEDs must be visible. 2 x M4 threaded holes each are provided on either side of the enclosure to mount the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET. The maximum screw-in depth is 5 mm (assembly dimensions, see Fig. 2). Fig. 2: Installation dimen- sions, RX22 Ion Blower Unit STATICJET Z-116818y �������� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� ���

(3, Fig. 1). The ground cable should have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm². 3.3 Connecting the air hose Caution! The RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET is fitted with a plug-type connector for outside tolerated compressed air hoses with  8 mm. The maximum rated pressure is 0.2 MPa. If necessary, use a pressure regulator, air filter, oil and water separator. 3.4 Connecting the supply voltage Caution! A 24 VDC line current, designed for a min. current of 120 mA per unit, is required for operating the RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET. Supply voltage is to be provided by the customer and connected via the plug supplied with the unit, see Fig. 4. Alternatively, the power supply available as accessory may be used. To ensure that no high voltage is generated when the material web is at rest, we recommend releasing the high voltage via the remote contact. If the material web is at rest, or if the machine is not in operation, no high voltage will then apply.
