  • Page 7: Scorpion3 Ionizing Bar System

    1.1 scorpION3 Ionizing Bar System The scorpION3 bar system is an ionization solution for work areas and OEM mini-environments. Intended for cleanroom applications, the bar is available with tungsten or single crystal silicon emitter points for the cleanest ionization available. scorpION3’s flexible design allows independent or dependent operation of multiple bars in a system.
  • Page 8 A scorpION3 bar may be designated as a master; it will then talk to the other bars connected to it via integrated RS-485 communication. The master maintains contact with each bar to synchronize system operations. Individual bars connected in a system monitor and store their own operating parameters.

  • Page 11: Mounting Considerations

    Prior to powering up a single or multi-bar system, the ionizing bar(s) should be securely mounted using the provided hardware. If the scorpION3 bar is mounted using hardware not provided with the unit, it is important to keep any grounded hardware away from the emitter tips.

  • Page 15: Bar Configuration

    The scorpION3 bar has two ionization indicators and a window for receiving and transmitting commands via IR with the MMI, incorporated into the scorpION3 face label on the front of the bar. The indicators have multiple functions. The main function of the indicator is to illuminate when the high voltage power supply is activated.

    9 bars may be connected to the master. In cases where a combination of steady state and pulse coverage is required with multiple bars, a bar or bars within the system can be set to the independent class. scorpION3 5200969 Rev 4...

  • Page 17: Air Assist (Optional)

    2.5 Air Assist (optional) If the scorpION3 bar has Air Assist, the inlet fitting will be located on the end of the bar with the fault output jack. This fitting is a ¼” quick connect suitable for typical plastic tubing (1/4”OD polyethylene, polyurethane, nylon, etc).

  • Page 18: Mmi (Man Machine Interface)

    2.6 MMI (Man Machine Interface) Adjustments to ion balance and ion output can be made to the scorpION3 bar system by using the hand-held MMI. The MMI features a 4-line LCD display for setting the bar parameters and monitoring its operation. The MMI uses an infrared transceiver for two-way communication with the bar in IR Mode.
  • Page 19 Bar or Preset. If Bar is selected the MMI will prompt the user to point the MMI at the bar and press enter. The MMI and scorpION3 bar feature narrow angle IR transceivers to minimize undesired IR cross talk. It will be necessary to align the MMI and bar IR transceivers to ensure communication.
