CAUTIONS
ROHIBITED
Do not use BBZ-E in environments that require explosion-proofing. BBZ-E
is not of explosion-proof construction, therefore explosion or fire may
occur.
ROHIBITED Do not use BBZ-E in flammable atmospheres. The corona discharge can
act as an ignition source and cause an explosion or fire.
ROHIBITED Do not use BBZ-E in environments subjected to sharp temperature
fluctuations or dewing. This kind of environment can lead to breakdown.
DO NOT WET
Do not use BBZ-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 BBZ-E for anything other than static erasure or dust removal.
PROHIBITED
Do not use BBZ-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 BBZ-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.
PROHIBITED Never look Into high luminance light beam with your naked eye.

■Product Features
Special Features
The BBZ-E is the high-performance ionizer that is focused on the noise reduction, the expansion of
the static eliminating area and the durability.
* Corona Discharge AC type
AC corona discharge performance won't dirt the needle nor the Ion balance off.
High frequency voltage transformer produces ion in its high performance without ion re-uniting loss.
* Silent Nozzle
The BBZ-E is an e
xcellent noise reduction model. It is about 10 db lower noise compared to
conventional model with the standard nozzle.
* High Luminance LED Beam Built-in
This high luminance LED beam makes it easy to check fine dusts stained on the surface of the articles.
* LED Display
Both sides of Handle Grip display "ON" LED and "ALARM" LED for clear checking by left or right handed.
･Working "ON" display :Working "ON" Green LED at Power Switch
･High Voltage Warning :RED H.V. LED blinks when High Voltage Alarming is found in the power
supply and output shuts down by the built-in transformer.
* Compact and Light Weight
High Voltage power supply cable is not necessary. High Frequency Voltage Transformer is built in for
safety, this compact design secures high performance of using this gun pin-pointedly over the required
spot. Power source should be DC24 Voltage. Supply to this main body should be given by attached
power supply adapter.
* Long power cable
The attached power adapter has a 5m cable. Good handleability.
* Maintenance
Replacement of the electrode could be easily done with Electrode needle replacement
screwdriver (separately sold).
* Environmentally Friendly
Compliant with RoHS standards.
* EMI Countermeasures
Lower noise performance won't merely influence other electronic devices.
* CE Compliance
The BBZ-E has been tested and approved under CE directive, EN61000--6-4, 6-2.
Uses
Use the BBZ-E to blow away stubborn dust that adheres because of static electricity or to remove
static electricity as a preventative measure against dust accumulation.

Maintenance
CAUTIONS IN MAINTENANCE
DO NOT
DISASSEMBLE
Do not perform any maintenance on the BBZ-E except for the electrode wire.
REMEMBER
Before cleaning the electrode wire, shut OFF power and unplug the adapter
from its electrical outlet. Shut off air supply at the source and disconnect the
air hose.
PROHIBITED Do not wipe the BBZ-E with detergent or solvent. Substances of the sort can
cause cracking and result in electric shock or breakdown.

Do not wet the BBZ-E. Contact with moisture can result in electric shock or
breakdown.
1. How to Clean the BBZ-E Casing
Remove the dirt over the BBZ-E with soft and dried cloth.
Never use alcohol and/or thinner solvent and detergent.
2. How to Clean the Electrode Needle
Electrode cleaning should be practiced after power supply adaptor pulled off electric concent.
Cleaning order
1-2. Remove the Nozzle.
3. Clean the point of the needle with cotton stick.
i
f it is heavily contaminated or dirty over the surface, use a few drops of alcohol.
Place the Nozzle back
4. Mount the Nozzle firmly.
If it is too tightly fastened, it may damage or break itself,
but if it is not well fastened this nozzle may pop out due to its air blow power.

Advice to use the BBZ-E for a long time
Before starting using the BBZ-E, band the air hose and the power cable
together with the provided “self-fusion butyl rubber tape”, by bowing the
power cable as shown in the photograph below.
It can prevent the air hose and the power cable from scattering, and it
can also improve durability of the power cable.
Making an extra space by bowing the power cable reduces the load on
the connector and the connecting area.
3 sheets of tape are enclosed. You may band other areas of these cables
with the remaining 2 pieces, taking into consideration the actual work
and/or wiring.
The tape should be prepared by the user if additionally needed. The
provided sheet is made by cutting the following tape to 105 mm in
length each.
