N.I.C.E. Static Electricity Eliminator
(Ionizer) i
Purpose
Ionization of air (i.e., charging the air
with ions of both positive and negative
charges) causes the air surrounding a
sample to become electrically conductive.
Charges are neutralized in the air stream
or grounded.  
Be especially careful when weighing 
electrostatically charged samples.
Features
– The ionizer can be turned on and off
independently of the position of the
draft shield doors
– When the draft shield doors are open,
the static electricity eliminator (ionizer)
will shut off after the preset time has
elapsed.  However, the ionizing time will
start over if the static electricity 
eliminator is still running when a door
closes.
– The static electricity eliminator (ionizer)
can be configured in the Setup menu so
that it will stay on only for a certain
time.
– When the ionizer is active, this is 
indicated by the flashing symbol J
(flashes from the outside toward the
inside and vice versa)
