Pulsed Ion Bar Controller, Asian Plug
The EMIT Pulsed Ion Bar Controller combines the effectiveness of pulsed DC ionization with the ease of adjustability, communication capability, and flexibility of a micro-controller-based design to produce a versatile ionization system. When used with the EMIT Ion Bars, the Pulsed Ion Bar Controller uses pulses of positive and negative ions to produce extended ionization coverage with or without forced airflow.
Ionizers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, ElectroStatic Discharge, and ElectroStatic Attraction, as well as preventing equipment latch-up. Per ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 6.2.3.1. Protected Areas Requirement states: “Ionization or other charge mitigating techniques shall be used at the workstation to neutralize electrostatic fields on all process essential insulators if the electrostatic field is considered a threat.” Air ionization can neutralize the static charge on insulated and isolated objects by producing separate charges in the molecules of the gases of the\ surrounding air. When an electrostatic charge is present\ on objects in the work environment, it will be neutralized by attracting opposite polarity charges from the ionized air. Note that ionization systems should not be used as a primary means of charge control on conductors or people.
