Just took another frequency measurement, and now it fluctuates randomly between ~60-64hz when it's on.
It is possible my multimeter is on the fritz. I'm getting a strange resistance reading. What should read infinite resistance (leads not touching anything) is 527-528 ohms... so unless this ion...
Thanks for clearing that up. Actually had a hunch that might be the case. The device does hiss and pop. Guess I should be calling it a negative ion generator. Wasn't cheap though.
I have a multimeter. Also a UPS where I can confirm some of the measurements. All outlets read a normal 120V(±1). I've actually thoroughly inspected all of them during the course of my troubleshooting, and all work perfectly fine... they only start acting up when the ionizer is near one.
This...
Installation is pretty fool-proof. Just plugged in the adapter.
New observations.... It makes every outlet connected in series on the circuit in the room it's in (along with the wiring) radiate a ton of EMI. I'll post a recording later. It also causes the frequency to spike by 2-3hz by...
So I've recently purchased an ionizer from Walmart... going to withhold the name for now.
Since I started using it I've experienced many strange electrical phenomena. I've done a ton of troubleshooting, and narrowed it down to the device itself. I was tempted to try a different wall wart, but...
