1Operator instructions
Before installation and commissioning read these operating
instruction in full. Always observe the safety instructions.
These operating instruction is a part of the product; make sure you
retain them for later use or subsequent owners.
The product is an air-assisted ionization unit and will be referred to in
this Operating Instruction only as “ionizing unit”.
The ionizing unit is operationally safe when used as intended.
The term “high voltage” is abbreviated HV in these operating
instructions (e.g. HV plug).
The illustrations in this document are a simplified representation of
the product. They render only the technical facts and provide
support for the text. Departures from the actual product may be
noticeable. However, these deviations neither reduce the proper
function nor mitigate the specifications of the product.
1.1 Symbols used in operating instructions
Always observe this safety instruction to avoid critical or fatal injuries.
Always observe this safety instruction to avoid slight injuries.
Always observe this safety instruction to avoid damage to property.

2Safety
Only persons authorised by the operating firm are permitted to
proceed with tasks on the ionisation unit.
The installer must be an electrician and must be knowledgeable in
the field of mechanical engineering. He must be an expert in
handling and installing compressed air equipment and must wear
personal protective equipment. The installer must read the operating
manual in its entirety.
The operating and maintenance personnel must be instructed in the
handling of compressed air equipment and the resulting dangers.
Personnel must wear personal protective equipment and completely
read the operating manual.
When working on the ionisation unit, switch off the voltage and
compressed air supply and secure the unit to prevent unintentional
restart. Depressurise the compressed air system.
Dangers due to compressed air equipment
Ruptured or broken
compressed air hoses can move erratically and
can injure persons or lead to consequential accidents. Compressed
air can enter the bloodstream through the broken skin, resulting in
an embolism that can lead to death.
•
Always comply with the safety regulations provided by the
operating company.
•
Before proceeding with maintenance and/or installation tasks,
ensure the entire system is de-pressurised.
•
Never direct the jet of compressed air at people or yourself (for
example, to blow dirt off clothes).
•
Never run a compressed air hose across passageways (tripping
hazard).
•
Never use compressed air equipment without pressure reducer
and compressed air filter.
•
Never exceed the permissible operating pressure.
•
Always use filtered (< 20 μm), dry and oil-free compressed air.
•
Always use suitable hose clamps to secure compressed air
hoses.
•
Wearing personal protective equipment for compressed air-
operated products is mandatory (e.g., safety goggles, ear
protection, dust mask, etc.).

Interference with pacemaker
The high voltage in the ionizing unit
generates an alternating electric
field with 50 Hz. This may influence the function of pacemakers
which may lead to ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest.
•
Persons wearing heart pacemakers must maintain a safety
distance of more than 50 cm from the ionizing unit!
•
The operator must mark the danger zone around the ionizing unit
by means of a warning sign.
•
The accident prevention regulations according to BGV A8 must
be observed.
•
An expert study concerning the impact of an ionization system
on implanted pacemakers is available from HAUG
GmbH & Co. KG.
Hazards caused by manipulated or faulty ionizing unit
Unauthorized modifications,
moisture or damage to the ionizing unit
may result in electric shocks or fire hazards due to sparking.
•
In the event of visible damage or suspected electrical defects,
take the ionizing unit out of operation immediately and secure
against inadvertent reuse.
•
Protect the ionizing unit from moisture. Clean any wetness off the
ionizing unit carefully and allow to dry.
•
Never pull the HV cable.
•
Never carry out any unauthorized repairs to the ionizing unit.
•
Always switch off the discharging power pack when the ionizing
unit is out of use.
•
Never keep any inflammable materials in the vicinity of the
discharging power pack or its components.

Danger of injury from ionizing pins
The ionizing pins are sharp, pointed and carry a high voltage when
in operation. Contact can result i
n puncture or tear wounds, and the
high voltage will also cause a tingling sensation. These factors can
produce a shock reaction which could lead to accidents.
•
Never touch the ionizing pins.
•
During maintenance / repair work, disconnect the discharging
power pack and wear protective gloves (EN 388 3122).
Physical complaints due to an excess of ozone
During operation, small amoun
ts of ozone are created through the
corona at the ionizing pins. A very high ozone concentration and
prolonged continuous exposure times may result in headache,
irritation to the eyes, circulatory problems etc.
•
Always ensure adequate ventilation during
operation in order not
to exceed the statutory admissible ozone concentration limits at
the workplace.
•
An expert study concerning ozone emissions from a ionization
system is available from HAUG GmbH & Co. KG.

2.1 Intended use
Risk of explosion!
The ionizing unit may generate sparks which ignite
gases, dust or
similar substances.
•
Never install or use the ionizing unit in areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres.
A power pack from HAUG is required for the HV supply of the
ionisation unit. A compressed air supply must be available.
The ionisation unit is used for contactless surface cleaning in
industrial production processes. It removes electrostatic charges as
well as dust and similar particles.
Due to its design, the ionisation unit is ideally suited for separating
single sheets from stacks of paper and film.
Compliance with the installation and operating conditions specified
in this operating manual is mandatory.
A guarantee can only be provided for equipment and accessories
supplied by HAUG GmbH & Co. KG.
