CAUTIONS
PROHIBITED
Do not use F12E-E in environments that require explosion-proofing.
F12E-E is not of explosion-proof construction, therefore explosion or fire
may occur.
PROHIBITED Do not use F12E-E in flammable atmospheres. The corona discharge
can act as an ignition source and cause an explosion or fire.
PROHIBITED Do not use F12E-E in environments subjected to sharp temperature
fluctuations or dewing. This kind of environment can lead to breakdown.
. DO NOT WET Do not use F12E-E in highly damp places or anywhere it may be wet by
water, oil, solvent or other liquid. Contact with moisture can result in electric
shock or breakdown.
PROHIBITED Do not use F12E-E for anything other than static erasure or dust removal.
PROHIBITED
Do not use F12E-E with power supplies of ratings not specified in the
specifications. Inappropriate power supplies can result in fire and electric
shock.
PROHIBITED Do not install, use or service F12E-E until having understood the information
in this instruction manual.
REMEMBER Keep this instruction manual in a safe handy place for future reference.
CAUTION VESSEL assumes no responsibility whatsoever for consequences arising
from the use of this product.

Product Features
■AC-TYPE CORONA DISCHARGE
This static eraser works by AC corona discharge, therefore ion balance is not disturbed by
accumulating dust on the electrode wire.
Use a new 8-electrode design to efficiently generate ions with minimal loss due to rebonding.
■FAN-TYPE STATIC ELECTRICITY ERASER
120 mmSQ high power DC fan is built in to blow drafts long distances.
The fan speed is adjusted using the step-less adjustment dial on the bottom of the body.
The stand screw can be adjusted to change the vertical blowing direction of the fan.
The components are compactly assembled in the body to make the unit smaller.
The input power is DC 24V. Use AC adaptor included.
A filter that can be removed and cleaned is provided as standard equipment.
■ION BALANCE
Capacity coupling is used to charge electrode wires with high voltage in order to maintain good ion
balance.
No adjustment required. High precision ion balancing within +/-5V.
■DESIGNED FOR SAFETY
To prevent electrical shock, the circuit is cut off and the power turned off when the front guard is
opened.
Less Ozone : Due to Dischange Design of efficient Ion output, extremely less Ozon is generated.
Monitor function is installed for Fan motor suspension and High Voltage output suspension.
(LED Lamp Function)
Piezo ElectricTransformer has the function of reducing out put in case of short circuit and overloaded power.
■EASY MAINTENANCE
The front Cover opens and closes with one touch. Internal parts can be easily accessed.
“Needle electrodes” that need to be cleaned or replaced can be easily removed without using a tool.
■EMI COUNTERMEASURES
Low noise emission, avoids affect on other electronic devices.
Uses
Use to prevent trouble and dust adhesion caused by static electricity.

Maintenance
CAUTIONS IN MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS
DO NOT
DISASSEMBLE Do not disassemble F12E-E. Servicing is reserved for service engineers.
UNPLUG
POWER CABLE
Before making checks, unplug the power cable. Working with the power
on can result in electric shock and breakdown.
PROHIBITED Do not wipe F12E-E with detergent or solvent. It may cause cracking and
result in electric shock or breakdown.
DO NOT WET Do not wet F12E-E. Contact with moisture can result in electric shock or
breakdown.
CHECK Periodically check F12E-E. Failure of periodical inspection can result in
early breakdown.
Casing Cleaning
To clean the casing, wipe with a dry soft cloth. Suck up dust from openings with a vacuum cleaner.
CAUTION
PROHIBITED Do not wipe it with solvents or cleaners, such as alcohol or paint thinner.
It may cause cracking and result in electric shock or breakdown.
DO NOT WET Do not wet F12E-E. Contact with moisture can result in electric shock or
breakdown.
When cleaning the front cover
After using for long hours, dust adhered to the front cover may lower the ionizing performance or
cause dust to fly around.
Care for periodical cleaning.
１)Be sure to turn the power switch to ○to stop the operation.
２)Unplug the power supply adapter from the electrical outlet.
３)Remove the fixture securing the upper surface cover
４)Wipe it with a dry, soft cloth.
５)Reinstall the front cover.
CAUTION
CLEANING A dirty front cover could lower the static erasing performance or cause dust
to fly around. Be sure to clean it as required by the operation environment.
10

Maintenance
Electrode Wire Needle Cleaning/Replacement
After using long hours, dust adhered around the electrode wires. Dust adhesion can lower the
performance of ionizing. Periodically clean or replace the electrode wires.
1) Before cleaning the electrode wires, shut OFF power and unplug the power supply adapter from
the electrical outlet. Also, lay the electrode wires on a cloth or mat not to damage while cleaning.
2) Turn the needle electrode unit to the left and remove it.
Be careful not to stick yourself on the wires.
3) Install the Electrode needle unit.
4) Attach the protection cover to F12E-E and connect the AC adapter.
Make sure the front cover is securely installed.
If the cover is not installed correctly, the safety mechanism will operate causing the fan to stop.
CAUTION
CLEANING
If the discharge needle is dirty, it could lower the static erasing performance or
cause dust to fly around. Be sure to clean the contaminated parts according to
your service condition.
When replacing the discharge needle
If the static erasing performance does not recover even after cleaning, the discharge needle could be worn out.
Remove the discharge needle the same as for cleaning and replace it with a new one.
Accessories
Electrode Needle Plate:F-12EH
WARNING
PROHIBITED If the knob of the electrode needle unit is broken or dropped out, stop the
operation and replace it with a new one. It can lead to an electric shock or
injury.

Maintenance
When cleaning the filter
After being used for a long time, dust adhered to the filter could lower ionizing performance or cause
dust to fly around. Periodically clean or replace the filter.
1)
Before cleaning the filter, shut OFF power and unplug the power supply adapter from the electrical outlet .
2) Remove and clean the filter.
Make sure the filter is dry before reusing it.
Installing the filter while still wet could damage the unit.
3)
Dust will also be adhered to the outside and inside filter covers, so use a dry, soft cloth to wipe them off.
4) Reinstall the filter and reinstall the filter cover.
CAUTION
CLEANING
If the filter is dirty, it could lower the static erasing performance or cause dust to
fly around. Be sure to clean the contaminated parts according to your service
condition.
When replacing the filter
