    1.1 Aerostat PC Ionizing Air Blower Small and quiet running, yet uncompromising in performance, Simco-Ion's Aerostat PC provides superior electrostatic discharge times rates over a targeted work surface area. It provides optimum protection from the destructive effects of ESD by neutralizing potentially destructive surface charges in the work environment.

  • Page 14: Controls & Indicators

    3.1 Controls & Indicators Activate the Aerostat PC by turning the FAN SPEED knob clockwise, out of the OFF position. The IONIZATION INDICATOR will illuminate to indicate the presence of ionized air. Set the airflow as desired by adjusting the FAN SPEED knob. If warm air is available / desired for operator comfort, set the WARM AIR switch to the ON (1) position.
  • Page 15 The Aerostat PC produces an ionized air stream that covers a targeted area. The time required to neutralize a static charge on an item in the air stream depends on many factors. Two important factors are; distance to ionizer and air velocity. Air ions constantly "neutralize"...

  • Page 17: Cleaning & Adjustments

    4.1 Cleaning & Adjustments The Aerostat PC has been designed with low maintenance in mind. The only regular maintenance suggested is emitter point cleaning, ion balance checking and ion output checking. Emitter point cleaning takes only seconds with the point cleaner. The Aerostat PC contains a balancing circuit that is inherently self-balancing.
  • Page 18: Emitter Cleaning

    4.2 Emitter Cleaning To clean the ion emitter points: simply rotate the point cleaner knob located at the center of the outlet grille clockwise to the stop (approximately one turn) and release. The spring-loaded point cleaning brush will return to its parking spot. Recommended frequency of emitter point cleaning is every 160 hours of operation.
  • Page 19: Air Inlet & Outlet Cleaning

    4.3 Air Inlet & Outlet Cleaning The air inlet grille on the rear of the unit and the ionized air outlet should remain clean to prevent restriction of air flow. They can be cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum. 4.4 Air Filter Cleaning Check the air filer regularly for dirt If the Aerostat PC is used on a regular basis.
  • Page 20: Ion Output Check

    4.5 Ion Output Check To test the unit for ion output, the use of a charged plate monitor is recommended. Discharge times can be measured and checked against the Discharge Specification values in Section 5. If a charged plate monitor is not available, but a static meter such as a Simco- Ion handheld electrostatic field meter is available, ion output may be checked with the following procedure.
  • Page 21: Ion Balance Check

    4.6 Ion Balance Check To test the unit for ion balance, the use of a charge plate monitor is recommended. Offset voltage should be measured and checked against the Ion Balance in Specification Section 5. Do not try to determine ion balance by holding a static meter in the ionized air stream.
  • Page 22: Calibration

    4.7 Calibration The Aerostat PC's ion output is inherently balanced by design. As a result, there are no calibration adjustments. If, after checking the ion balance as outlined above, an unbalance or offset voltage exists in excess of +/-10 volts, contact Simco-Ion Technical Support at techsupport@simco-ion.com.
