963E Benchtop Air Ionizer
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
The SCS 963E Benchtop Air Ionizer is a self-contained
ionizing air blower designed to remove static charges
from non-conductive objects. The proprietary circuitry
contained in the blower generates balanced levels of
positive and negative ions. The ionizer is equipped with
a two speed fan which allows the user to select the
amount of ionized air to be delivered to the target object.
The Benchtop Air Ionizer meets the required limits of
ANSI/ESD S20.20 tested per ANSI/ESD STM3.1 or
ESD TR53.
The Benchtop Air Ionizer reduces a static charge
of ± 1000V to ± 100V in less than two seconds (the
discharge time) at a distance of one foot (30 cm) using
the high fan speed. Testing is performed in accordance
with the ionization standard ANSI/ESD STM3.1.
The Benchtop Air Ionizer requires 24VDC power, which
is supplied through a Mini DIN connector on the back of
the unit. The Ionizer is packaged with a switching power
supply, capable of converting 100V–240VAC, 50/60 Hz
into 24VDC. The switching power supply uses a 6 ft.
(1.8 m) cord to connect to the ionizer, and has an IEC
320 input socket for incoming power. It comes with a
North American-style three-prong plug or Continental
Europe (EURO) plug. Two versions are available
depending on the power cord plug (European or North
American). The Ionizer should only be used with the
included power supply.

Installation
The Benchtop Air Ionizer mounts easily in a variety of
positions using the provided tilting bracket/stand. Place
the unit on the work surface and point it at the area or
object to be neutralized. Alternatively, the mounting
bracket may be attached directly to or above the
workstation, or on another supporting structure. Note
that placement of the Ionizer is important in determining
its effectiveness. The distance from the target object,
and fan speed affect the ionizer’s performance. As
distance increases or fan speed is reduced, the
discharge time will increase.
Connect the switching power supply to the Ionizer using
the Mini DIN connector. Then, using the appropriate
electrical power cord, connect the switching power
supply to an electrical outlet.
Operation
The three position rocker switch on the front of the
unit is the POWER switch. The center switch position
(marked O) is the OFF position. The upper and lower
switch positions (marked II and I) turn the unit on to
HIGH and LOW fan speeds. Use this switch to turn the
unit on and to select the desired fan speed. A green
monitor light is also illuminated respectively on the front
of the unit, which indicates that the power switch is in
one of the ON positions, and that the ionizer is now in
use.
