  • Page 6: Overview

    1.1 Overview The Digital AeroBar Model 5225S is specifically designed for use in a variety of applications, ranging from inside tools to work stations and cleanroom areas where digital performance with easy integration is desired. The Model 5225S operates as a standalone system with internally maintained settings.

  • Page 9: Remote Control

    1.2 Remote Control The Infrared Remote Control Model 5570 is used to communicate and set the power and timing parameters. Unlike a typical consumer remote control, the 5570 features a narrow infrared beam that prevents communication errors with nearby AeroBars. For best results, hold the remote control within 18-24 inches of an AeroBar’s vertical centerline and aim directly at the receive LED of the AeroBar.
  • Page 10 Passwords The Remote Control features two levels of access: a User Menu level, and a Technical Field Service (TFS) menu. • The User Menu level allows you to view current AeroBar settings, change the operation mode, change the positive and negative output levels, and set the on times and off times.

  • Page 20 Connection to the Desktop Transformer Wiring to the 100/115/230 VAC switchable desktop transformer (Simco-Ion p/n 14-1535) requires an interconnect cable with an RJ- 11 4-wire connector at the AeroBar end and an RJ-22 4-wire connector at the transformer end. Pre-made interconnect cables with these connectors are available from Simco-Ion (p/n 33-1725- 10).

  • Page 21: Fms Connection

    2.3 FMS Connection The AeroBar provides an FMS (facility monitoring system) output signal. The alarm is a non-isolated open collector that will pull the alarm pin to ground upon an alarm condition. See Figure 4 for the wire information. If connecting to the DIN Rail mount transformer, the FMS signal must be wired to your FMS system either by direct wire or through the junction box alarm wire.

  • Page 22: Daisy-Chaining

    2.4 Daisy-chaining Where AeroBars are used together in the same tool or in close proximity, it may be desirable to daisy-chain the AeroBars to the same power source. Up to 10 AeroBars can be daisy-chained together using standard interconnect cables in between the AeroBars.

OpMode Indicates the operating mode of the AeroBar, as follows: Standby: if the AeroBar is in standby. (AeroBar is powered but ionization is turned off.)

  • Page 29: Ionization Mode (Opmode)

    3.3 Ionization Mode (OpMode) About Ionization Modes The AeroBar allows two different methods of ionization. Both are appropriate for different situations. Pulsed DC mode is recommended for process tool environments where the distance from the fan filter unit to the target exceeds 24 inches or where fast discharge is necessary.

Point the remote control directly at the LEDs on the AeroBar and use the Up or Down button to select the operation mode (Standby, Pulsed, or StdySDC).

  • Page 31: Output Voltages

    3.4 Output Voltages About Output Voltages The recommended typical output range is 50-80%. For bars operating in Pulsed DC mode, adjust the positive and negative output voltages so that the maximum swing values are within 20V of each other, averaging a value as close to zero as possible.

  • Page 32: On- And Off-Times (Pulsed Dc Mode Only)

    3.5 On- and Off-times (Pulsed DC Mode Only) About On- and Off-times If the decay time is too slow and the voltage swings are less than 100V, increase both the positive and negative ontimes in 0.1 second increments, checking the positive and negative decay times between each adjustment.

  • Page 33: Fms Alarm Values

    3.6 FMS Alarm Values About FMS Alarm Values Normally, alarm levels are automatically adjusted when the output levels are set. The default alarm percentage value is 25%, which means the alarm levels are automatically adjusted to 25% of the output level. For proper maintenance and performance, alarm percentage should be set to 50-75%.

  • Page 35: Balance Adjustment And System Calibration

    3.7 Balance Adjustment and System Calibration Simco-Ion balance adjustment and calibration procedure is a regular part of installation and maintenance of the AeroBar and its components. Adjustment for the AeroBar may be performed at initial installation, during periodic checks of the entire system, or anytime additional components are added to the system.
  • Page 36 This procedure is commonly referred to as balance adjustment or system calibration. Simco-Ion recommends performing a balance adjustment as part of a regular maintenance program. In general, AeroBars should be balanced every six months to a year. The actual frequency of balance adjustment depends on the specific activity of your application and environment.

Standing too close to the CPM may interfere with airflow and ion movement. Make sure all access doors are closed.
  • Page 39 Understanding Ionization Modes, Voltage Swing and Output, and Decay Timing Ionization Modes Ensure that the AeroBar is operating within the appropriate ionization mode: Pulsed DC or steady-state DC: • Pulsed DC mode is recommended for tool environments where the AeroBar to target exceeds 24 inches. Pulsed DC provides fast decay times and should not be used if large metal objects (such as a pre-aligner or measurement tool) are within 12 inches (30 cm) of the AeroBar.
  • Page 40 In Pulsed DC mode, if decay times are too slow and voltage swings are greater than 100V, increase the positive and negative offtimes in 0.1 second increments. In steady-state mode, increase the positive and negative voltage outputs if the decay times are too long.
  • Page 41 For Pulsed DC Mode For Steady-state Mode 1. Increase voltage outputs in 1% 1. Increase voltage outputs in 0.1% increments, maintaining balance until increments, maintaining balance until output swings reach 100-150V. Do not exceed 90% reaches 90%. output. If decay times are still too long, proceed to the next step.

  • Page 44: Maintenance Power Down

    4.1 Maintenance Power Down Before performing any maintenance, the AeroBar must be powered down. Warning: Never power-down by removing the power cable from the AeroBar, as this can result in damage to the ionizer. To power-down the AeroBar, put the AeroBar in standby mode, turn off the power source, or disconnect the cable from the power source end.

  • Page 45: Aerobar Maintenance

    4.2 AeroBar Maintenance Primary maintenance for the AeroBar consists of periodic emitter point cleaning and replacement, system calibration, and exterior cleaning of the chassis. As maintenance schedules will vary depending on conditions, develop a schedule which meets the requirements for your application. In general, equipment should be checked on a monthly basis to ensure it is operating as originally set.

Caution: Do not clean emitter points while the unit is powered. Doing so may result in additional contamination and possible shock.
  • Page 47 To clean the emitter points and areas around the emitter points, moisten a cleanroom-compatible swab with the IPA solution, or use Simco-Ion Emitter Point Cleaner. Gently rotate the swab around the emitter point until dirt or debris is removed. Do not alter emitter points in any way.
  • Page 48 To insert new emitter points: Gently insert and press the new emitter point into the socket until it is fully seated. Do not push on the tip of the emitter point. Chassis Cleaning Use a cleanroom-compatible cloth moistened with 50% IPA and 50% de-ionized water to wipe down the chassis.
