ITW Texwipe TX726 Background Information

- Emitter points in ESD ionizing systems will become contaminated with environmental residues over time and these residues will compromise performance
by reducing ion density and by generating particles.
- Emitter points should be cleaned once per quarter at a minimum.
Consider more frequent cleaning if significant residues accumulate between cleanings.

ITW Texwipe TX726 Directions for Use

Turn off power to the emitter points to be cleaned. The TX726 CrushTube swab is shipped in a plastic pouch with a peelable seal. This pouch keeps the polyester brush clean and intact. Remove the plastic pouch and discard. The CrushTube swab has an inner glass vial of alcohol inside of a plastic tube. Crush the inner glass vial by squeezing the plastic tube, then tip the foam swab end down to allow the alcohol to wet the swab. Carefully insert the wetted swab end onto the emitter point, slowly rotate the tube, then withdraw. Repeat until all visible deposited material has been removed. Each CrushTube swab may be used to clean between 5 to 8 emitter points, depending upon the amount of residue on each point. When the swab fails to remove the residue a new swab should be used. Clean all emitter points in the ionizer assembly in this manner, wait a few moments for the alcohol to evaporate, then apply power to
the ionizer assembly.
