(3.5 bar) and fully open flow control knob in gun handle. Perform
positive and negative discharge time tests (1000 to 100V) and
average the results. Check results against data in Section 3.1
Performance.
If a charged plate monitor is not available, you can use a hand-held
fieldmeter such as the Simco-Ion FMX-004 or Model 775 to check
ion output using the following procedure:
1. Charge a piece of plastic by rubbing it with cloth until a static
charge can be read with the meter.
2. Adjust air pressure to 50 psi (3.5 bar) and fully open the flow
control knob in the gun handle.
3. Activate the gun and blow air on the plastic at 2" (50 mm) for 2
seconds.
4. Remove the plastic from the ionized air stream and measure the
static charge. The plastic should be neutralized.
