CAUTIONS
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Do not use this product for any purpose other than charge removal and dust removal.
Do not use this product in enviroments which are outside the specification range,
otherwise operating problems or damage may occur. In addition, the operating life of the
product may become significantly reduced.
Never disassemble, repair or modify this product, otherwise operating problems or
accidents may occur.
Do not dispose of this product by burning it, otherwise it may explode or toxic fumes may
be generated.
This product generates ozone, so be sure to provide adequate ventilation if using it in a
confined space.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the
same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
Be sure to turn off the air and the power supply before carrying out any cable connection
or inspection work. If this is not done, operating problems, damage or electric shocks
may occur.
After connecting the cables, check that the connections are correct before turning on
the power. If the cables are connected incorrectly, operating problems or accidents may
occur.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
It takes approximately 2 seconds after the power is turned on before the fan operation
stabilizes. To ensure proper charge removal performance, do not use the product until
sufficient time has elapsed.
Do not turn the power back on immediately after it has been turned off, otherwise operating
problems or accidents may occur. In addition, the operating life of the product may become
signifi cantly reduced. Wait at least 2 seconds before turning the power back on again.
When using as a CSA and UL compliant product, use a CLASS 2 CSA/UL certified
power supply, or a CSA/UL certified power supply that has been evaluated as a Limited
Power Source as specified in CAN/CSA-C22.2NO.60950-1/UL60950-1.
Do not use any cables which have any damage (such as splitting or cracking), otherwise
operating problems or accidents may occur.
Avoid using the product in places where there are high levels of steam or dust in the air
or where it might be directly exposed to water, oil or welding spatter.
Avoid use at an elevation higher than 2000m, and outdoor use.
Do not touch the discharge needle with hard objects such as tools. If the discharge
needle becomes broken, it will not provide sufficient charge removal performance, and
moreover operating problems or accidents may occur.
Avoid using the product while the fi lter is blocked, otherwise accidents or problems with
operation may occur.
Clean and replace the fi lter at periodic intervals.
Always be sure to turn off the power before replacing the fi lter.
Secure the main unit properly when setting up. If the main unit is not correctly secured
or if it is subjected to intermittent vibrations or impacts, accidents or problems with
operation may occur.
Do not place any objects which may obstruct air flow within 20 mm the front of the fan air
intake, otherwise accidents or problems with operation may occur.
Use cables with a cross-section of 0.15 mm2or more and a length of less than
30 m. Furthermore, keep the cables as short as possible to avoid the possibility of interference.
If this product ceases functioning or is no longer required, dispose of it according to
appropriate local waste disposal regulations.

CSA/UL compliant product
This product complies with CSA and UL standards, and has been certified by TUV SUD.
●The discharge needles are consumable parts. If the discharging performance is not
restored after the discharge needles have been cleaned, it is recommended that
you replace the whole discharge needle unit (option). It is recommended that you
replace the discharge needle unit after about 10,000 hours of operation.
[Cleaning and replacement procedure for discharge needle unit]
Follow the procedure given below to remove the discharge needle unit from the main unit.
Use a cotton swab or similar moistened in alcohol to clean the discharge needles
and the areas around them.
If the needles are particularly dirty, use a brush (such as a toothbrush) moistened
with alcohol to rub them clean, and then use a cotton swab to wipe them.
A commercially-available ultrasonic cleaner can also be used for cleaning. (Immerse
the discharge needle unit into the cleaning tank to clean them.)
Insert the tabs of the discharge needle unit into the two slots in the main unit, slide
the discharge needle unit sideways to install it to the main unit until a click is heard.
[Discharge needle unit removal procedure]
* Do not touch the interior of the main unit when removing and installing the discharge
needle unit, otherwise accidents or problems with operation may occur.
* Do not apply any more force than is necessary when removing and installing the
discharge needle unit, otherwise the discharge needle unit may become damaged.
[Fan filter cleaning and replacement procedure]
Install and use a fi lter depending on the operating environment.

* Once an error has been detected, the error status will be maintained until the power
is turned off and back on again.
* Eliminate the cause of the error before turning the power back on again.
* If the cause of the error has not been eliminated, the error will occur again.

Turn the filter cover in the direction shown in the illustration to align the * marks.
Remove the filter cover and the filter from the ER-Q main unit.
Remove the filter from the filter cover, and remove any dust and dirt adhering to the filter. If the
filter is extremely dirty, wash it in water. If washing the filter in water, let it dry thoroughly before
using it again.
Install the filter and the filter cover to the ER-Q main unit.
* If the filter is used while it is still wet, accidents or problems with operation may occur.
* If the filter cannot be cleaned, replace it.
* Be careful not to let any foreign objects get inside the main unit when removing and installing the
filter.
