SECTION 1 Description
SIMCO’s minION2 ionizing air blower is designed to control electrostatic
charges in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing equipment and for
benchtop applications requiring high performance in a compact package. The
minION2’s small size also makes it easily portable for field service applications
where static control is necessary.
Using steady state DC corona ion technology, the minION2 features self-moni-
toring to ensure controlled, consistent ion output. Performance is enhanced by
SIMCO’s patented radial emitter array and ion balance maintained with the
patented ionizing circuitry. Structured airflow from the patented air outlet
ensures maximum delivery of ionized air to the target. These features in the
design of the minION2 enable it to meet the demands of critical semiconductor
equipment manufacturers with corona ionization.
The minION2 uses modular wiring to enable “daisy chaining” of units, up to
three units may be daisy chained on a standard power supply. A plug-type ter-
minal block is included for easy wiring if the user desires to hard-wire the unit
in place. There is the option of supplying power to the unit through the terminal
block where the user wishes to supply power from a 24 VDC machine bus. The
terminal block also features relay contact output of the unit’s fault alarm for
remote fault sensing.
An optional clamp-on spring arm stand is available for benchtop applications
requiring elevated positioning, or for locations with a restricted mounting surface
area.
SECTION 2 Safety
CAUTION!
1. Read the complete Operation Manual before operating. Failure to follow
instructions may result in damage to the ionizer and/or personal injury.
2. The AC adapter is supplied with a 2- or 3-prong inlet plug, which must be
inserted into an appropriate, properly wired wall outlet.
3. A factory-qualified service technician must perform component service and
repairs. Please contact SIMCO Customer Service for information.
WARNING!
4. Keep the unit dry. Do not operate the unit in flammable or explosive
atmospheres.
5. Do not insert objects through the unit's intake or outlet grilles while in
operation. Damage to the ionizer and/or personal injury may result.
