SCS Benchtop Air Ionizer 963E with Auto-Balance and 2-Speed Fan, No Power Cord - Desco 963E-NO

Insulators such as housings, films or plastic fixtures cannot be grounded, so their charge has to be neutralized with ionized air. The SCS 963E reduces a ±1000 V charge to ±100 V in less than 2 seconds at 30 cm on high fan speed, with an offset voltage of ±15 V.

Key benefits

• Discharge time under 2 seconds per ANSI/ESD STM3.1, so parts move on to the next step without waiting
• Auto-balance holds ±15 V and compensates even when the emitter points get dirty
• Electrostatically shielded emitter points prevent field-induced charging of the workpiece
• 2-speed fan with consistent ionization at both settings, suited to sensitive calibration, test and repair work
• No grounding wires needed, set up in minutes on the tilting stand

Applications

Neutralizing charges on plastic parts and insulators at ESD workstations, in test, calibration and repair of electronic assemblies.

Standards

Meets the ionization limits of ANSI/ESD S20.20, tested per ANSI/ESD STM3.1 and ESD TR53. Balance and discharge time should be checked periodically with a charged plate monitor, and the manufacturer recommends annual calibration.
