4.1 Cleaning & Calibration
The scorpION3 bar is designed to require minimum maintenance,
cleaning, and calibration. There are no user serviceable parts within
the scorpION3 bar. No attempt should be made to disassemble or
repair defective products. Please contact Simco-Ion customer
service for information concerning repair or replacement.
Periodic cleaning of system emitters will make a valuable
contribution to optimum system performance and emitter life. All
corona ionization systems form deposits on the emitter tips over
time. The majority of these deposits are the result of the interaction
of moisture vapor with the electric field around the emitter. The
emitter material has little or no relationship to the formation of these
deposits. Your process and system performance demands must be
considered when determining a suitable interval for emitter
cleaning. Maintenance frequency also depends on the cleanliness
and relative humidity of the environment.
In most cleanroom environments, cleaning should be scheduled on
a quarterly basis. Simco-Ion recommends cleaning the system after
90 days. After initial cleaning, you may decide to adjust the cleaning
schedule. Emitter cleaning frequency is determined through
observation. Cleaning does not harm the emitters, and regular
cleaning of emitters removes deposits that can reduce emitter life
and affect system performance.
scorpION3 operation/calibration should be checked whenever the
emitters are cleaned.
