4.1 Maintenance Requirements
Top Gun requires very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning of
the case and emitter points and periodic replacement of the air filter
is all that is required. Always be sure to protect all components from
liquids and corrosive chemicals and avoid dropping the gun on hard
surfaces. Carefully follow these maintenance instructions.
Recommended Cleaning Materials
• Cleanroom-compatible cleaning cloths (polyester cloth is
recommended)
• Cleanroom-compatible cloth swabs
• Cleaning solution of 50% IPA (electronic-grade isopropyl
alcohol)/50% de-ionized water or Simco-Ion's Emitter Point
Cleaner (#22-1000)
4.2 Emitter Cleaning & Inspection
The typical ion emitter point cleaning interval is one month,
depending on conditions. The need for point cleaning is indicated by
an apparent lack of sharpness at the point tip caused by debris
buildup.
The ion emitter point is located in the center of ionizing cartridge at
front of gun, just beneath the nozzle. Disconnect line voltage from
power unit. Carefully clean the point using a cotton or foam swab
lightly moistened with IPA solution. Be sure not to leave any cotton
fibers on the point if a cotton swab is used. Allow the point to dry
before using Top Gun. The point should be sharp and straight, not
bent or otherwise damaged for proper operation.
