Basic Information
Selectable charge removal layout
Nozzle angle adjustment and joint layout can be selected as desired
UL,CE,CSA,UKCA Approved
UL, CSA : Certified by TÜV SÜD America Inc.
Features
Nozzle angle adjustment mechanism
The angles of the two nozzles can be adjusted within a range of approximately 190° by screwing down the ends of the nozzles. After adjusting the angle, turn the ends of the nozzles to tighten them and secure them at that angle.
This allows the nozzle angles of the ER-VW to be adjusted easily after installation.
Easy connection layout possible
The joint kit (optional) can be used to connect up to a maximum of 5 ER-VW units. The air supply part is connected via quick connection joints, and the power supply and input / output signals can also be connected easily using connection cables with connectors at both ends.
Multiple ER-VW units can be connected together to provide charge removal layouts that suit the target equipment.
Connection application example
Minimum air consumption 15 ℓ/min. (ANR)
ER-VW can utilize air flow levels starting from a minimum of 15 ℓ/min. Because the amount of air consumed is so low, the loads placed on air supply equipment can be reduced and costly clean air can be used much more economically.
No damage to electronic devices from inverse charging
A high-frequency 68,000 Hz AC corona discharge is used, so that (+) ions and (-) ions are emitted in rapid alternation. Because there are none of the sudden ion discharges that occur with other types, there is no tendency to partial oppositely-charging even when charge removal insulators with different localized charges, so that any damage to electronic devices can be avoided.
Produces excellent ion balance
The adoption of high-frequency AC method allows extremely stable ion balance to be achieved. The ion balance is not affected by the pressure of air supplied and the setup distance, so no troublesome adjustments are required after setup.
Compact and thin design
The thickness of the unit is 18.9 mm 0.744 in. Even so, the nozzle angles can be adjusted, so that they can still be installed in places where there are space restrictions, such as inside other equipment or along several adjacent production lines.

Air supply monitoring function
This function causes discharging to stop automatically if the supply of air drops below a certain pressure. Notification of this is given when the AIR indicator lights and the discharge output (DSC) turns off. This prevents objects which are not charged from being overlooked when the air supply has been stopped.
The functions support accurate charge removal
In addition to the air supply monitoring function, the ER-VW is equipped with the following functions to ensure accurate charge removal.
- Discharge halt function:
Uses external input to forcibly stop discharge.
- Check function:
Uses the CHECK indicator and output to notify the operator when it is time to clean or replace the discharge needle.
- Abnormal discharge monitoring function:
Uses the ERROR indicator and output to notify the operator when a problem with discharge occurs, and stops discharge. It can be canceled by means of reset input.
- Discharge output:
Output is ON during discharging. This lets you check when discharging is being carried out.
- Check output:
Output turns ON when the discharge needle is dirty.
- Error output:
Output turns OFF when there is a problem with discharging (normally it is ON). It also allows you to check the power supply to the ionizer.

Cautions For Use
- This product is to remove static electricity for industrial use. Never use this product for medical equipment etc. relating to maintenance / supervision of human life or body, for prevention of accidents which damage a human life or properties, or for safety maintenance.
- Do not use this product near or around surroundings containing any dangerous materials, such as combustible material and flammable material.
- The discharge needle gathers dust after a long period of use. In order to prevent accident or product malfunction, clean up the discharge needle, periodically once every one week or so, or this product will be unable to exert the charge removal performance.
- Be sure to ground the main body of this product via ground terminal to ensure electric shock prevention and reliable charge removal.
- Since the discharge needle is live with high voltage, never touch the discharge needle, or an electric shock may result.
- If this product is used in an airtight room, ozone emitted from this product may be detrimental. Therefore, in order for this product to be used in an airtight room, be sure to keep the room ventilated.
- Since the ion air contains ozone, do not aim this product at anyone.
- Always be sure to turn off the air supply before loosening the nozzles to carry out air flow adjustment or for maintenance. Air pressure may cause the discharge needle to fly out. Furthermore, push the nozzle securely in by hand until it touches into the enclosure of the device afterwards, and check that the nozzle does not move. If the nozzle is not installed correctly, it will adversely affect charge removal performance and the nozzle may also fall out.
- Since the tip of the discharge needle is pointed, take sufficient care in handling the discharge needle, or injuries may result.
Mounting
- When installing the unit to its mount, use M4 pan head screws (please arrange separately), and tighten them at a torque of 0.5 N·m or less.
- Be sure to connect the F.G. terminal to ground. If the unit is not properly grounded, charge removal performance will be severely reduced. (Use a type D ground or a common power supply ground.)
- If grounding to a common power supply ground, you can use the lead wire for connecting the F.G. that is supplied with the unit to make the connection. 0 V ground: Connect pins 2 and 3 of the end connector (9-pin) to the lead wire for connecting the F.G.. +V ground: Connect pins 1 and 3 of the end connector (9-pin) to the lead wire for connecting the F.G..
(If the ground is not connected correctly, operating problems or accidents may occur, so be sure to check the usage conditions and connect the ground in such a way that the power supply does not become shorted.)
Adjusting the air blowing direction
- After screw down the nozzle to loosen it, point it toward the object to be charge removal. After adjusting the position, securely tighten the nozzle by hand until it is touching the enclosure, and check that the nozzle does not move. If the nozzle is not installed correctly, it will adversely affect charge removal performance and the nozzle may also fall out.
- The diagram at right shows the range of adjustment for the nozzles.
Piping
- The tube that is installed to the air intake of this device should have an outside diameter of 6 mm 0.236 in and an inside diameter of 4 mm 0.157 in.
- The air that is supplied to this product should be dried clean air that has been processed through an air dryer (dew point around –20 ℃ –4 ℉) and an air filter (mesh size around 0.01μm 0.0004 mil).
- Increasing the length of the air hose from the air supply equipment or adding pneumatic equipment (such as a needle valve, governor or miniature filter) will cause drops in the pressure of the air supplied to the device, and so do not allow the air pressure to drop below sufficient levels. (Check the pressure applied to the device at the air intake of the device.)
Furthermore, select air pressure equipment that is appropriate for the level of supplied air flow.
Connections
- Use the ER-VWAR80 joint kit (optional) to connect the devices together. (1 kit is needed for each pair of devices.) Up to a maximum of 5 units can be connected together (including this unit). When using units that are connected together in this way, attach the supplied end connector to the connector of the last device in the series. Furthermore, also connect the end connector to a device if not connecting the device to any other devices.
- The air joint (included in the joint kit) should be tightened at a torque of 0.5 N·m or less.
- When connecting devices together, check that the air pressure values at the air intakes of each device are appropriate for the usage conditions.
Maintenance
- Always be sure that the power supply and the air supply are both turned off before inspection and cleaning.
- Be sure to turn off the air before removing the nozzles for purposes such as maintenance. Air pressure may cause the discharge needles to fly out.
- Since the removal discharge effect will deteriorate if dirt is stuck to the tip of the discharge needle, clean the discharge needle periodically.
- The maintenance required depends on the environment of use. As a reference, the maintenance should be done once in a week.
- The discharge needle is a part having a product life time. It is recommended that the needle should be replaced, as a reference, after 10,000 hours in use. When replacing it, replace the whole unit (ER-VWANT).
Cleaning procedure and discharge needle replacement procedure
1. Check that the power is turned off.
2. Check that no air is being supplied.
3. Turn the nozzle counterclockwise to remove it.
4. Replace the discharge needle unit, or use a cotton swab moistened in alcohol to clean the discharge needle and the area around it.
For the needle discharge unit while running it along the guide at the side of the opening.
5. After cleaning, turn the nozzle clockwise to install it.
Securely tighten the nozzle by hand until it is touching the enclosure, and check that the nozzle does not move.
If the nozzle is not installed correctly, it will adversely affect charge removal performance and the nozzle may also fall out.
Others
- Make sure to use the DC power supply insulated by an isolation transformer, etc. for this product. If an auto-transformer, etc. (single winding transformer) is used, this product or the power supply may be damaged due to short-circuit.
- This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
- Do not use this product beyond its rated specifications. Doing so can cause product breakdown, non-function, or damage. Furthermore, it will also cause a marked reduction in product life.
- Never disassemble, repair, modify, or misuse this product, as this can cause an accident or malfunction.
- Do not throw this product into fire: it may explode or generate poisonous gas.
- Since this product emits ozone into the atmosphere, circulate air to prevent foul smells. If ozone lingers for long periods, metals, etc. may oxidize / decay. Furthermore, do not try to confirm that foul smells are caused by the ozone by drawing your face near the nozzle outlet and air outlet: you may hurt your nose, throat, etc.
- Do not use this product in steamy or dusty places, in places where water and oil splash, or where spatter flies when welding.
- Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring and inspection. Otherwise, there is a danger of accident, electric shock or malfunction.
- Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after the power supply is switched on.
- Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
- If the power supply is switched on immediately after being switched off, fault output may be generated. After the power supply is switched off, wait at least 1 sec. before switching it on again.
- If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
- In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a surge absorber to the supply and absorb the surge.
- 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.
- Confirm the wiring and piping state before supplying power or air. Wrong wiring and piping may cause malfunction.
- Use air (dry, clean air) for the fluid. Any fluid other than air (dry, clean air) or even air containing corrosive gas may cause an accident or malfunction.
- Do not use air that contains foreign particles, e.g. carbon dust, dust, water or oil. Since these substances may cause electric shock or malfunction, take appropriate countermeasures, e.g. install an airfilter, air-drier, etc.
- Do not use this product for any purpose other than charge removal.
- Do not cover the ionized air outlets of the nozzles. Ozone may build up and operating problems or failure may occur. (The air monitoring function checks if the pressure of air supplied to the unit drops, so if the ionized air outlets of the nozzles are covered, it will not detect this and will not cause charge removal operation to stop.)
