Ionizer Motion Sensor

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Description

The Desco 

60509

 Ionizer Motion Sensor is designed 

to automatically activate an ionizer when an operator 

is present at a workstation and turn off when the 

workstation is vacant. This product ensures that the 

ionizer is activated when required. It also conserves 

energy and increases maintenance intervals of the 

ionizer by deactivating it when the workstation is vacant. 

The Control Unit is capable of switching up to 5 amps at 

120VAC and is fuse protected. 
The Ionizer Motion Sensor consists of two components: 

the Sensor Unit and Control Unit. The control unit 

connects between the AC power cord and the ionizer 

power input using standard IEC type (C13/C14) 

connectors. The sensor unit is placed in a position 

to “detect” an operator up to three feet away. The 

sensitivity levels can be adjusted to: low (12 inches), 

medium (24 inches) or high (36 inches). The Sensor 

Unit should be mounted flush with the front edge of the 

mounting surface whenever possible. This is done to 

prevent reflected light from the mounting surface. The 

two components communicate using a standard 6-pin 

modular cable.
The Ionizer Motion Sensor utilizes a unique infrared 

light and band pass filter to prevent interference from 

other light sources. The band pass filter uses a reflected 

infrared light with the specific frequency to sense the 

presence of the operator. It does not require continuous 

motion to remain activated. The deactivation delay 

time can be set to 1 minute, 10 minutes or 1 hour 

periods. This delay prevents the ionizer from turning on 

and off frequently if an operator is only away from the 

workstation momentarily.
