Ion Pro™ Benchtop Ionizer

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

December 2021

Description

The SCS Ion Pro™ Benchtop Ionizer is used for 

neutralizing electrostatic charges on insulators and 

ungrounded conductors. Its fast discharge times (< 1.5 

seconds at 12 inches) and ±3 volt offset voltage exceed 

the required limits of ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ESD TR53. 

The Ion Pro Benchtop Ionizer monitors both its offset 

voltage (balance) and discharge time. The ionizer will 

alarm should its offset voltage exceed the required 

limits defined by ANSI/ESD S20.20 or discharge time 

take longer than 4.5 seconds. Steady-state DC emitters 

are spaced farther apart to prevent ion recombination, 

increase decay efficiency, and provide a broader 

coverage area of ionization. The Ion Pro™ Benchtop 

Ionizer’s dual-speed fan produces consistent airflow 

performance. The Ion Pro™ Benchtop Ionizer features 

a stainless steel enclosure and multi-mount stand to 

minimize contamination and corrosion when used in 

clean or sensitive areas.
The SCS Ion Pro™ Benchtop Ionizer operates on 

Steady-state DC. Steady-state DC systems consist of 

separate negative and positive ion emitters connected 

by a pair of high-voltage cables to their respective 

high-voltage power supplies. DC power is constantly 

applied to the emitter points. The ionizer utilizes 

patented capacitance-based sampling from its internal 

sensor to continuously adjust the output, maintain its 

offset voltage, and minimize maintenance.

Made in the

United States of America

 USER GUIDE TB-9107

“The primary method of static charge control is direct 

connection to ground for conductors, static dissipative 

materials, and personnel. A complete static control 

program must also deal with isolated conductors 

that cannot be grounded, insulating materials (e.g., 

most common plastics), and moving personnel who 

cannot use wrist or heel straps or ESD control flooring 

and footwear. Air ionization is not a replacement for 

grounding methods. It is one component of a complete 

static control program. Ionizers are used when it is not 

possible to properly ground everything and as backup 

to other static control methods. In clean rooms, air 

ionization may be one of the few methods of static 

control available.” [ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 

Ionization, section 5.3.6.1 Introduction and Purpose / 

General Information]

Static Management Program

The SCS Ion Pro™ Benchtop Ionizer is compatible 

with SCS Static Management Program (SMP). SMP 

continuously monitors your ESD process control system 

throughout all stages of manufacturing. SMP captures 

data from SCS workstation, equipment and ESD event 

continuous monitors and provides a real-time picture of 

critical manufacturing processes. All activity is stored 

into a database for on-going quality control purposes. 

SMP allows you to pinpoint areas of concern and 

prevent ESD events. Quantifiable data allows you to see 

trends, become more proactive and prove the efficiency 

of your ESD process control system. When paired with 

the Ion Pro Benchtop™ Ionizer, SMP will monitor its 

balance (offset voltage) and discharge time statuses.
SMP is sold separately.
