Dear Customer,
The RX22 Ion Blower Unit STATICJET are used mainly in cases where
disruptive static charges on material webs impair production processes
and need to be eliminated.
The air current carries the ions generated at the emission tip through the
nozzle to the object to be discharged.
The RX22 Ion Blower Unit STATICJET features the following charac-
teristics:
• integrated high voltage generation, no internal high voltage wiring
required
• short-circuit proof
• 24 V DC supply voltage
• compact design, small dimensions and weight
• adaptable and easy to install
• three different nozzle designs
• To monitor the proper function of the unit, the RX22 ion blower unit
STATICJET is equipped with two LEDs which display normal operation
or faults. If a fault is detected, the integrated circuit will switch off the
high voltage and generate a fault signal.
• Contact to the external control
Please read the operating instructions carefully before starting the instru-
ment. This will help you prevent personal injuries and damage to property.
Please give us a call if you have any suggestions, proposals or ideas for
improvements. We greatly appreciate the feedback from the users of our
appliances.

2. Safety
The units have been designed, built and tested using state-of-the-art engi-
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.

2.5 Work and operational safety
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

10 BA-en-2083-1909_RX22
the site of installation of the bar, the concentration must be measured
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.
