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

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.

3.2 Ground connection
Warning!
A permanent ground contact must be made via the grounding connection
(3, Fig. 1). The ground cable should have a minimum cross section of
1.5 mm².
3.3 Connecting the air hose
Caution!
The RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET is fitted with a plug-type connector
for outside tolerated compressed air hoses with  8 mm. The maximum
rated pressure is 0.2 MPa. If necessary, use a pressure regulator, air filter,
oil and water separator.
3.4 Connecting the supply voltage
Caution!
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.
Supply voltage is to be provided by the customer and connected via the
plug supplied with the unit, see Fig. 4. Alternatively, the power supply
available as accessory may be used.
To ensure that no high voltage is generated when the material web is at
rest, we recommend releasing the high voltage via the remote contact. If
the material web is at rest, or if the machine is not in operation, no high
voltage will then apply.

4. Operation
Caution!
The RX22 ion blower unit STATICJET must be operated only with a
24 VDC line voltage.
4.1 Startup
Caution!
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.
4.2 Function monitoring
The LEDs in the connection zone signal the proper function of the unit.
• If neither of the two LEDs lights up, the supply voltage is switched off or
both LEDs are defective.
• If a fault has occurred (e.g. high-voltage sparking, short circuit), the
high voltage will be cut off:
- the green LED goes off and the red LED will come on,
- a fault signal will be sent (open collector)
- the discharging effect is interrupted.
Note!
Faults will not be saved. A disruption of the supply voltage automatically
results in the fault message being acknowledged.
