Principle of Operation
N
RD’s electric static eliminators operate on the principle of corona discharge. This type of ionizer is
simple to use and very efficient for removing static charges, which can attract and hold onto dust and
debris.
Corona ionization occurs when an electrical voltage is placed on a sharp point called an emitter pin. In a
p
roperly designed AC (alternating current) ionizing device, both positive and negative ions are p
r
o-
duced making it capable of neutralizing either polarity on a statically charged object or surface.

Symbol Explanations
- Caution, read the guidelines and precautions
for the safe use of your NeutralizerAC.
- Electrical Shock Hazard, read the guidelines
and precautions for the safe use of your Neutral-
izerAC.
General Guidelines and Precautions
1. Read this instruction manual before installing or
operating equipment.
2. If the NeutralizerAC is used in a manner not
specified in this user manual, the protection
provided by it’s design may be impaired.
3. Charge battery completely before using the
NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow Gun for the
first time.
4. Connect ionizer to a supply of clean, dry
compressed air.
5. Keep water, oil, grease, and other contamina-
tion away from ionizer at all times.
6. CAUTION: Insert the safety key into the
battery jack and attach the trigger lockout clip
behind the trigger before performing any
maintenance.
7. CAUTION: Keep away from strong mag-
netic fields.
8. Do not operate device in excess of specifica-
tions.
9. CAUTION: Electrical shock hazard.
Do not touch the emitter pin or insert objects
into the outlet of the ionizer when the power
is energized.
10. Fire hazard. Do not install or operate
equipment in close proximity to any flam-
mable solvents or in explosive atmospheres.
11. Always wear safety glasses or goggles
and hearing protection when operating the
NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow Gun.
12. Do not submerge in water. If water enters
the NeutralizerAC allow it to thoroughly dry
before using again.
13. Do not leave the NeutralizerAC near a heat
source.
14. Do not disassemble or modify the Neutral-
izerAC, except to change the emitter pin or
filter. High-voltage internal parts can cause
electrical shock.
15. The operating and storage environmental
conditions are: Temperature: 32°F to 104°F
(0°C to 40°C), Relative humidity: 80% max-
imum, Operating altitude: 3000m maximum
16. The internal lithium-ion battery might
present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mis-
treated.
17. Use only the lithium-ion battery that
NRD specifies. Contact NRD for battery re-
placement.
18. When storing for two (2) weeks or longer,
insert the safety key into the battery jack.
19. Do not operate the NeutralizerAC without it
being completely assembled. This includes
the air nozzle and filter.
20. Do not point the nozzle at other people or
toward your face. Even with the filter in-
stalled small particulate can get caught in the
entrained air and be blown out the front.
21. Battery should be fully charged at least once
every 60 days when in storage. When in use
charge daily.
22. Clean the NeutralizerAC with a clean, soft,
and dry cloth on the exterior surfaces only.
Charging the Battery
The NeutralizerAC contains a lithium-ion battery.
The lithium-ion battery might present a fire or
chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not crush,
p
uncture, or disassemble the lithium-ion battery.
WARNING! Only use the included battery
charger.
The included battery charger is designed specifi-
cally for the battery used in the NeutralizerAC
Ionizer. Using a different charger could damage
the Ionizing Blow Gun or cause a fire, voiding the
warranty.

The battery should be charged completely prior to
first use or if the green LED does not light when
the trigger is depressed.
Charge the battery as follows:
Remove the safety key. (Do not discard,
save to use later)
Connect the DC battery plug to the Neutral-
izerAC battery jack.
Connect charger to AC power source.
LED indicator is Red when charging and
Green when charge is complete.
When charging is complete, disconnect
charger from AC power source and then the
NeutralizerAC.
When LED indicator is Green the battery charger
will not over charge the battery.
Installation and Operation
Warranty Note: Failure to use clean, dry, filtered,
compressed air will VOID warranty.
Air filters remove oil, water, and other de
b
ris from
compressed air that could impede performance of
the Ionizing Blow Gun.
1. Attach the Ionizing Blow Gun to a 1/4” NPT
hose fitting. Screw the fitting securely into
the base of the handle. Use thread sealant as
needed.
2. Connect and turn on compressed air to Ioniz-
ing Blow Gun.
3. Regulate the air pressure to desired level.
Do not exceed an inlet pressure of 50 psig.
4. Remove the safety key. (Do not discard, save
to use later)
5. Squeeze trigger to begin air flow and activate
the NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow Gun.
Green LED on top of Ionizing Blow Gun
will be lit to verify the air ionizer circuitry is
activated.
6. Move the Ionizing Blow Gun in a slow
sweeping path, at a distance of 12”, covering
the entire part. A powerful stream of ionized
air will flow over objects and quickly neu-
tralize electrostatic charges, remove dust and
other foreign particulate clinging due to stat-
ic attraction.
N
ote: Any contact, such as additional tacking,
after the surface has been cleaned and ionized may
result in re-charging the surface with static. We
recommend that you repeat the cleaning of the part
with the Ionizing Blow Gun. This ensures the
static charges have been removed.
7. When the NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow
Gun is not in use, use the ring to hang it from
a hook.

Maintenance
The NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow Gun is de-
signed to be durable, dependable, and trouble free.
It requires a minimal amount of maintenance.
Each application and environment in which static
control is required is different, making it difficult
to state accurately how often cleaning or mainte-
nance is needed.
After a period of use, a small sphere of dust will
accumulate on the emitter pin. Do not allow this
accumulation to continue indefinitely. Although
an ionizer may continue to perform satisfactorily
when it is dirty, gross contamination will degrade
its efficiency.
The NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow Gun is de-
signed with a replaceable emitter pin, and comes
with one (1) replacement pin. NRD recommends
that the emitter pin be replaced every three months.
Emitter pins may need to be replaced more often
depending on the amount of use. Additional re-
p
lacement emitter pins are available by contacting
N
RD.
This ionizer is categorized as “non-shockless”.
This means there is a High Voltage Shock Hazard.
Insert the safety key into the battery jack and
attach the trigger lockout clip behind the trigger
while maintenance is performed. Also, use cau-
tion whenever handling ionizers since the emitter
p
in is sharp and can cause punctures or scratches i
f
mishandled.
Replace the emitter pin as follows:
1. Turn off the compressed air.
2. CAUTION: To avoid shock hazard insert the
safety key into the battery jack and attach the
trigger lockout clip behind the trigger.
3. Carefully squeeze tabs together and slide the
air nozzle off of the NeutralizerAC Ionizing
Blow Gun.
4. Using a pair of tweezers or pliers remove
emitter pin from the pin holder, then through
the outlet hole of the ionizer. Dispose of the
emitter pin. CAUTION: do not bend
the pin holder.
5. Insert the new emitter pin using the tweezers
or pliers. Be sure to push the emitter pin in
as far as it will go. CAUTION: do not
bend the pin holder.
6. Carefully slide the air nozzle back over the
tabs and snap it into place.
7. Remove the safety key and the trigger lockout
clip. (Do not discard, save to use later)
8. Turn on the compressed air.

INSTNeutralizerAC – 1/19
The NeutralizerAC Ionizing Blow Gun is de-
signed with a replaceable air filter. NRD recom-
mends replacing the air filter every three months.
The air filter may need to be replaced more often
depending on amount of use. Additional replace-
ment air filters are available by contacting NRD.
Replace filter media as follows:
1. Remove the back cap of the NeutralizerAC
Ionizing Blow Gun, by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Remove filter media and screen.
3. Place screen and new filter media in back
cavity.
4. Attach the back cap to the NeutralizerAC
Ionizing Blow Gun. Cap to be hand tight, do
not over tighten.
N
ote: If the air directional cylinder falls out during
the filter change, put the cylinder back in with the
arrow for air flow pointing toward the front of the
blow gun.
