Page 7: Top Gun Ionizing Air Gun
1.1 Top Gun Ionizing Air Gun Simco-Ion’s Top Gun Ionizing Air Gun combines air ionization with a forceful compressed air blast in a convenient hand held gun. Top Gun provides the ability to clean and neutralize electrostatically charged items; neutralizing the charges also prevents re-attraction of the particulate. -
Page 8: Air Gun Assembly
1.2 Air Gun Assembly Simco-Ion’s Top Gun is an ionizing air gun that produces an intense air flow rich in both positive and negative air ions. Directing the air flow on an item that has a static electricity charge will neutralize the charge and clean the item. - Page 9 a reference ring on the front of the ionizing cartridge. Adjustment of ion balance can be accomplished at the gun. Top Gun uses a light touch trigger for operation. Pressing the trigger activates a control circuit which operates the air flow solenoid and the low current, high voltage transformer, which are both located in the power unit.

1.3 Power Unit Assembly Top Gun can use clean dry compressed air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide at pressures up to 100 psi. Compressed gas is connected to a power unit that contains a solenoid to turn gas flow on and off. High quality polyurethane tubing conducts the gas to the gun. -

Page 12: Mounting The Power Unit
2.1 Mounting the Power Unit The power unit can be mounted on any convenient surface such as a wall or work bench leg using the mounting flanges. The rear flanges have a mounting hole pattern that will match a variety of pre- punched holes often found on work bench legs or perforated angle stock. -
Page 13: Connections
2.2 Connections Compressed Air Connection Compressed air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide is supplied to the power unit through a 1/4" NPT female connector. The connector contains a screen to stop large debris from entering the unit. Do not remove this connector. Support the connector with a wrench while installing the user supplied compressed air fitting. -

Page 18: Performance
3.1 Performance Top Gun reduces a static charge of ±1000 V down to 100V in less than 1.3 second at a distance of six inches (15 cm) using 30-psi air pressure. Discharge times vary upon air pressure used. Reference the ESD Association ANSI/ESD Standard STM3.1-2006 for test procedure. -
Page 19: Using Top Gun
3.2 Using Top Gun Hold the nozzle of Top Gun at the desired distance (typically 2 to 12 inches from object to be cleaned) and press trigger to activate air flow and ionization. Use a back and forth motion to clean object, the ionization will neutralize any static charges. -

3.3 Using the Sidekick Footswitch If you have ordered Top Gun with Sidekick, then you have also received the footswitch. The switch connects to the power supply and when depressed, activates both airflow and power to the ion emitter assembly. A red LED on the nozzle indicates power. 3.4 Using the Optional Optical Sensor For automated assembly operation, Top Gun may be ordered with an infrared Optical Sensor. -

Page 22: Maintenance Requirements
4.1 Maintenance Requirements Top Gun requires very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning of the case and emitter points and periodic replacement of the air filter is all that is required. Always be sure to protect all components from liquids and corrosive chemicals and avoid dropping the gun on hard surfaces. -
Page 23: Filter-Nozzle Replacement
4.3 Filter-Nozzle Replacement The compressed air filter uses a special filter media that changes color as contaminants are trapped. When the filter media changes to a red color or air flow is restricted, filter-nozzle replacement is indicated. Figure 7. Top Gun Replacement Filter Simco-Ion offers two types of replacement filters for Top Gun. - Page 24 If the filter does not release, grasp the nozzle and rotate the filter as far as it will easily turn. Insert screwdriver and use gentle “prying” motion to free lock collar. Be very careful not to damage the chassis of Top Gun while using this procedure to replace the filter. It may be necessary to repeat the above steps, turning filter in the opposite direction to release a jammed lock collar.

Page 25: Balance & Ion Output Test
4.4 Balance & Ion Output Test Ion balance (offset voltage) and ion output (discharge time) are measured using a charge plate monitor such as the Simco-Ion Model 280A Charged Plate Monitor. The standard for this test procedure is ANSI/ESD STM3.1. The typical testing interval is six months. - Page 26 (3.5 bar) and fully open flow control knob in gun handle. Perform positive and negative discharge time tests (1000 to 100V) and average the results. Check results against data in Section 3.1 Performance. If a charged plate monitor is not available, you can use a hand-held fieldmeter such as the Simco-Ion FMX-004 or Model 775 to check ion output using the following procedure: 1.
