Steady-state DC ion emission provides fast discharge with low airflow, allowing less disturbance of delicate product. The Model 6422e has a red alarm indicator LED on the front of the chassis. The eight-pin terminal strip on the back of the unit provides...
IsoStat technology makes Simco-Ion blowers the most reliable ionizers available. IsoStat enables operation without grounding wires or cables while still maintaining ionizer balance. The 6422e Blower’s internal emitter points are electrostatically shielded to eliminate field-induced charging. Steady-state DC ion emission provides fast discharge with low airflow for less disturbance of delicate product.
1.3 Performance The 6422e Blower will reduce a static charge of ±1,000V down to 100V in approximately four seconds at a distance of 1 ft. (30.48 cm) 1 . See Table 1 for typical discharge times as determined by distance. Distance is measured from the front center of the Blower.
1.4 Power Requirements The maximum power requirement for the Model 6422e is 6W. Three different power supplies are available as options for the Blower, providing 24 VDC or 24 VAC. The fourth power source is 24 VDC from your process equipment using the terminal block and eight pin connector on the rear of the Blower.
The Model 6422e Blower is supplied with: • U-shaped mounting bracket (already installed on the blower) • Three truss-head screws for securing the bracket (Simco-Ion p/ n 28-3369), see item 1 below. • One 8-pin terminal block plug for connecting to tool power (Simco-Ion p/n 18-2308), see item 2 below.
• Aim the Blower so that its airflow travels directly to your target. See Table 1 Performance on page 4 for approximate decay times versus distance. • Keep grounded objects away from the ionized airstream to avoid the possibility of increased offset voltages. Figure 4.

The Model 6422e Blower can be securely mounted using the supplied U-bracket. It is recommended that the Blower be mounted using the supplied truss-head screws through the 1/4 in. (6.3 mm) diameter mounting holes on the bottom of the bracket. The mounting holes are spaced 1 ft.

Performance and 1.4 Power Requirements sections for additional information. AC/DC Adapter Connection The AC/DC adapter (Simco-Ion p/n 14-1322) output is 24 VDC at 400 mA, maximum. The AC/DC adapter is shipped with its plug adapter uninstalled. To install the plug adapter, slide it into the bay on the AC/DC adapter.

Two active pins on the eight-pin terminal strip on the rear of the Blower can receive 24 VDC power from your process equipment. An included terminal block (Simco-Ion p/n 18-2308) is used to connect 24 VDC power to the Blower from your process equipment.

Figure 9. Terminal Block Damage to the product as a result of improper wiring Caution: connections or failure to heed maximum voltage limits will not be covered by the warranty. Schäden am Produkt infolge unsachgemäßer Verdrahtung oder wegen unterlassener Beachtung von maximal Achtung: zulässigen Spannungen werden nicht durch die Garantie abgedeckt.
2.4 FMS Connection The Model 6422e Blower provides a non-isolated 4-20 mA current loop and relay closure output for indicating alarm status to your process equipment’s facility monitoring system (FMS). In addition to connecting 24 VDC power into the Blower, the included terminal block (Simco-Ion p/n 18-2308) connects the Blower to the FMS using pins 1-5.

The Blower’s alarm is not a maintenance alert. In most cases, factory service will be required. Before contacting Simco-Ion for service, make sure that the Blower is receiving proper input voltage per specifications. There are no user serviceable parts inside this Blower. Any...
3.1 Maintenance Requirements The performance of the Model 6422e Blower is designed to be maintained primarily by the internal auto-balance circuitry. Occasional cleaning of the case and emitter points is the only routine maintenance required. No readjustment of the ionizer is required after cleaning.
The Blower uses internally-shielded emitter points that will not normally require replacement during the normal service life of this product. If you believe that the emitter points need to be replaced, contact Simco-Ion Technical Support (techsupport@ion.com) for information. 19-6422-M-01 Rev 4...
3.4 Auto-Clean System The Model 6422e-AC incorporates our Auto-Clean System, a mechanical device that physically removes particles from emitter points. Users should consider carefully the appropriateness of using this device in an ultraclean environment. The Auto-Clean System features a brush mechanism that sweeps the emitter points when the blower is turned off and on.
Page 27
Activate the Auto-Clean System regularly to prevent excessive build up of debris. Ion recommends activating the Auto-Clean System at least once a week. Cleaning schedules will vary depending on environmental conditions. The automatic Emitter Point Cleaner can not be temporarily or permanently removed or de-activated; it is an integral part of the blower.
