High Output Benchtop Ionizer
Description
The Desco
60505
, High Output Benchtop Ionizer is a steady
state DC, auto-balancing tabletop ionizer. A specially designed
fan module creates better coverage (16” x 36”), consistent offset
voltage (balance) ±3 should be with a discharge times at less than
one second at 12”. The unit continually adjusts voltage output for
optimal performance and automatically alarms when maintenance
is needed or the unit is not operating correctly. Ionization offset
voltage balance is consistent at all 3 speeds (50-100 CFM) and
allows for use in sensitive applications, such as calibration, test, or
repair procedures. The powder coated housing, multi-mount stand
and sealed bearing fans minimize foreign objects debris, corrosion,
and other contaminations when used in clean or or sensitive
areas. Field replaceable emitter pins allow for replacement without
returning to the factory.
“Necessary non-conductors in the environment cannot lose
their electrostatic charge by attachment to ground. Ionization
systems provide neutralization of charges on these necessary
non-conductive items (circuit board materials and some
device packages are examples of necessary non-conductors).
Assessment of the ESD hazard created by electrostatic charges
on the necessary nonconductors in the work place is required to
ensure that appropriate actions are implemented, commensurate
with risk to ESDS [ESD sensitive] items”. (ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007
Foreword)
“In order to mitigate field-induced CDM [Charged Device Model]
damage, the ESD program shall include a plan for the handling of
process-required insulators. If the field exceeds 2,000 volts/inch,
steps shall be taken to either: A) Separate the insulator from the
ESD-sensitive device by a distance of 30 cm (12 inches); or B) Use
ionization or other charge mitigating techniques to neutralize the
charge.” (ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 section 8.3)
“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)
“All ionization devices will require periodic maintenance for
proper operation. Maintenance intervals for ionizers vary
widely depending on the type of ionization equipment and use
environment. Critical clean room uses will generally require more
frequent attention. It is important to set-up a routine schedule for
ionizer service. Routine service is typically required to meet quality
audit requirements.” (ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.6.7

CSA International tests products for compliance to national and
international standards, and issues certification marks for qualified
products. The certification marks tell potential customers and users
that a product has been evaluated by a formal process-involving
examination, testing and follow-up inspection-and that it complies
with applicable standards for safety and performance.
