ATTENTION
While there is little chance of injury, this content refers to points that
should be observed for appropriate use of the product.
1.1 Danger
Do not use in locations where explosives, flammables, or other dangerous substances are present.
This product is not an explosion-proof type unit. Explosion or ignition may occur.
When any wiring, installation, or inspection work is to be carried out, make sure that the unit is
disconnected from the power supply, otherwise, an accident, an electrical shock or a malfunction
may be caused.
Never attempt to remodel the product. It could result in abnormal operation leading to injury, electric
shock, fire, etc.
Do not splash water on the product. Spraying it with water, washing it, or using it underwater could
result in malfunction of the product leading to injury, electric shock, fire, etc.
High voltages are applied to the discharge needle, so do not put it near electrically conductive
materials, such as your fingers, body, wires, or tools. Doing so could result in electric shock or
malfunction.
1.2 Warning
Do not use the product in excess of its specification range. Doing so creates the risk of product
breakdown, loss of function, or damage. It could also drastically reduce the operating life.
The tip of the discharge needle is sharp, so be careful when handling it. This could result in
personal injury.
Always supply compressed air before supplying electric power. Supplying electric power while no
compressed air is supplied may result in a discharge that increases internal ozone density that
produces a bad effect on the devices and environment.
When using the product, do not point the nozzle at people, especially their face or eyes, etc. This
could result in personal injury.
Cables that are damaged by being bent excessively, pulled, rolled up, placed under heavy objects,
or squeezed between two objects create the risk of current leaks or defective continuity that could
result in fire, electric shock, or abnormal operation.
1.3 Caution
The ionizer generates ozone while exposed to the atmosphere. If you are using only one ionizer,
the density will not saturate and rise above a set point. However, if multiple units are being used
and you smell ozone, ventilate the area. Also, do not place your face near the nozzle of the ion
air blower to confirm the smell of ozone. Your nose and throat could become sore.
1.4 Attention
Equipment and parts used near the ionizer (especially ones with low ozone resistance such as NBR)
should be checked periodically for ozone degradation.
When the product can no longer be used or is no longer necessary, dispose of the consumables
appropriately as industrial waste.
Do not wire parallel to power lines or high-voltage lines. Inductive noise could cause erratic operation.
*Regarding dangers, warnings, and cautions not noted above, refer to the “Safety Precautions
(Common to All Ionizers) and Handling Instructions and Precautions (Common Precautions)” in the
Static Electricity Removal Unit Ionizers catalog.

Electric Wiring/Air Piping
Connect the main unit and the AC adaptor according to the wiring diagram below.
(Power supply)
· Connect the AC adapter connector to the power cable of the main unit.
Insert the connector covers into each other so no dust gets inside.
· Connect the ground cable (green wire).
Note) 0V (AC adapter output) and F.G. (frame ground wire) are connected inside the main unit.
Static charge removal performance is reduced when not fully grounded.
· Connect the AC adapter to the power supply (AC 100 V - 240 V, 50/60 Hz).
· When using the relay cable, connect it between the AC adapter connector and the power cable of
the main unit.
Note) The AC adapter cable is not a flex resistant cable.
If there is a risk of the cable moving, then secure the AC adapter cable or the connectors.
The main unit cables and relay cable are flex resistant.
The cable bending radius must be 32 mm or above.
(Air)
· Use clean air, from which oil and moisture have been removed, as the medium.
· Attach the air tube (φ6-mm outer diameter) to the air fitting on the main unit.
(Urethane tube recommended: Urethane tube/nylon tube)
Note) The air tube length must be 3m or shorter.
· Install a regulator between the air tube and the air source.
· Do not excessively bend or twist the Φ6mm air tube near the fitting. Doing so may result in air
leakage. When using nylon tubes, the minimum bending radius is 30mm.
6. Operations
WARNING
● When using the product, do not point the nozzle at people, especially their face or eyes, etc. This
could result in personal injury.
● Use protective glasses and ear plugs because there is a risk of noise causing hearing
impairment or debris being blown into your eyes.
CAUTION
● Do not drop or hit the air gun because there are piezoelectric ceramics inside it.
● The nozzle on the tip of the main unit is connected to internal circuits, so do not let it touch live
wires or conductors.
● Use only the specified nozzle. Do not modify the nozzle. Otherwise, the product could break
down, its functions could stop, or it could be damaged.
● If the power/discharge indicator LED (green) does not light or if the error indicator LED (red)
lights, immediately turn off the power and refer to “5. Wiring and piping for installation” in this
document. If the issue cannot be resolved, refer to “7. Maintenance” and “8. Troubleshooting” in
this document.
Operations
① Press the lock button on the main unit to change to gun shape or straight.
When gun-shaped, while pressing on the lock button, rotate the grip side 180 degrees in the direction
of arrow 1 to switch to the straight shape, as shown in figure 2. When straight, while pressing on the
lock button, rotate the grip side 180 degrees in the direction of arrow 2 to switch to the gun shape.
After rotating, the lock button clicks so you can confirm it is locked.
Always press the lock button all the way in when rotating. Rotating while the lock button is not
pressed or in the opposite direction causes damage.
② Check the electric wiring and air piping.
③ Supply air that is being regulated by a regulator to the main unit. Be sure to set the pressure being
applied to within the operating pressure range.
④ Supply power (AC 100 V - 240 V, 50/60 Hz) to the AC adapter.
⑤ Hold the main unit firmly, point the nozzle at the workpiece, and then squeeze the lever.
Note) Do not grip the tip part of the main body, since it may effect on the ion balance.
The power/discharge indicator LED (green) lights and ionized air sprays from the tip of the nozzle.
To stop the ionized air, release your grip on the lever. The lever returns to its original position, the
power/discharge indicator LED goes out, and the ionized air stops.

Replacing the in port/pulse blow unit
Example) Replacing an in port (DTY-ZNP-G31) with a pulse blow unit (DTY-ZPA-G31)
*Use the same procedure to replace the pulse blow unit with an in port.
① Remove the screws on the side of the main unit. To remove the cover, lift it in the direction of the arrow.
② Lift the in port in the direction of arrow 1 to remove it in the direction of arrow 2 from the semi-circle area.
Peel off the label that is on the pulse blow frequency adjustment trimmer.
③ Align the protruding tip of the pulse blow unit with the insertion hole on the main unit, and press it in,
in the direction of arrow 3.
While pressing in, press down in the direction of arrow 4, and put it into the semi-circle area.
④ Confirm that it is fully in the semi-circle, and then close the cover.
If you cannot close the cover at this point, the pulse blow unit may not be inside the semi-circle, so
put it in again.
Fasten the cover with the screw.
(The main unit may be damaged if the correct tightening torque of 15 to 20 N･cm is not used.)
Note) If you changed from the pulse blow unit to the in port, then put the label provided on the pulse
blow adjustment trimmer, which is on the side of the main unit.
If you changed from the in port to the pulse blow unit, then remove the label that is covering the
frequency adjustment hole to use it.
7. Maintenance
WARNING
● Always turn off the air and the power before doing maintenance work. This can lead to malfunction
or accident.
● The tip of the discharge needle is sharp, so be careful when removing and cleaning it.
CAUTION
● Fully ventilate the area when using alcohol, etc. Also, after cleaning with alcohol, allow the main
unit to fully dry, and check that it is not wet.
● Never use a wire brush to clean the main unit, doing so could damage it.
● When installing a nozzle, tighten it by hand until there is no looseness. Do not overtighten it. Also,
do not use any tools to tighten it.
Dirt sticking to the discharge needle reduces the static charge removal performance.
Clean it periodically, or when the static charge removal performance is low.
Cleaning method
Rotate the nozzle to remove it from the main unit, then use a cloth or cotton swab dampened with
alcohol (IPA) to clean the discharge needle (tip) and surrounding area inside the main unit. Allow it to
dry completely, and then securely install the nozzle.
How to replace the discharge needle
The discharge needle is a consumable part that needs to be replaced. When replacing the discharge
needle (5 piece set: DTRY-ZEM-G31), always use a combination of the specialized tool (DTRY-
ELB21) and a torque screwdriver, and set the tightening torque to 15 to 20 N•cm for the
replacement. If the torque is not appropriate, the screw in the main unit may be damaged.
