Page 7: Aerostat® Xc Ionizing Air Blower
1.1 Aerostat XC Ionizing Air Blower ® Simco-Ion's Aerostat XC was designed for use with sensitive electronic components where electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a problem. It can be applied in inspection, testing, and assembly environments. The Aerostat XC can also be used where static electricity causes problems such as attraction of dirt to product, misalignment of small parts due to electrostatic "jumping", and undesirable adhesion of plastic films due to electrostatic charge. - Page 8 The high voltage AC is applied to a row of stainless steel emitter pins, which results in an intense alternating electric field at the tip of the emitters. It is this intense electric field that introduces alternating polarity ions into the air flow. The shaped air flow exiting the Aerostat XC carries these ions over a broad area for control of electrostatic charge.

Page 11: Unpacking
2.1 Unpacking Carefully remove the equipment from the carton and inspect all contents. Empty the carton to insure that small parts are not discarded. If any damage has occurred during the shipment, notify the local carrier immediately. A report should also be forwarded to Simco-Ion Technology Group email address at salesservices@simco-ion.com. -
Page 12: Location
2.2 Location The Aerostat XC is designed for free or fixed position operation on a table top or work bench surface. Each unit includes an adjustable, skid resistant stand intended for placement onto the selected surface. Holes in the base of the stand are provided for securing the unit in a fixed location using 5/16 diameter screw hardware (not provided). -

Page 15: Controls & Indicators
3.1 Controls & Indicators Activate the XC by setting the POWER switch to the ON position. The ionization indicator will illuminate to indicate the presence of ionized air. Set the air flow as desired by adjusting the FAN SPEED to low ( I ), medium ( I I ), or high ( I I I ). If warm air is desired for operator comfort, set the HEATER switch to the ON (I) position. - Page 16 When using the Aerostat XC in an electronics assembly area, the ionized air stream should cover as much of the work area as possible. The constant flow of ionized air will prevent items such as work surfaces, tools, materials and components from developing a static charge.

Page 18: Cleaning & Adjustments
4.1 Cleaning & Adjustments The Aerostat XC has been designed with low maintenance in mind. The only regular maintenance suggested is emitter point cleaning, ion balance checking and ion output checking. Emitter point cleaning takes only seconds with Simco-Ion's built-in point cleaner. The Aerostat XC contains a balancing circuit that is inherently self balancing. -
Page 19: Emitter Cleaning
4.2 Emitter Cleaning To clean the ion emitters, simply sweep the emitter cleaner back and forth once across the ionized air outlet. Recommended frequency of cleaning is once a week. Aerostat XC Heater 5100550-M Rev 7... -
Page 20: Air Inlet & Outlet Cleaning
4.3 Air Inlet & Outlet Cleaning The air inlet grille on the rear of the unit and the ionized air outlet should remain clean to prevent restriction of air flow. They can be cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum. Aerostat XC Heater 5100550-M Rev 7... -
Page 21: Optional Air Filter Cleaning
4.4 Optional Air Filter Cleaning Remove the air filter from the rear of the unit by sliding the aluminum frame of the filter towards the rear of the unit. Rinse the filter in plain water while gently squeezing. If the dirt is stubborn, wash the filter in mild soap and water then rinse. -
Page 22: Ion Output Check
4.5 Ion Output Check To test the unit for ion output, the use of a charge plate monitor is recommended. Discharge times can be measured and checked against the Discharge Specification in Section 5. If a charge plate monitor is not available, but a static meter such as a Simco-Ion handheld electrostatic fieldmeter is available, ion output may be checked with the following procedure. -
Page 23: Ion Balance Check
4.6 Ion Balance Check To test the unit for ion balance, the use of a charge plate monitor is recommended. Offset voltage should be measured and checked against the Balance Specification in Section 5. If a charge plate monitor is not available you may use a Simco-Ion brand electrostatic fieldmeter equipped with a removable test plate. -
Page 24: Calibration
4.7 Calibration The Aerostat XC's ion output is inherently balanced by design, so there are no calibration adjustments. If after checking the ion balance as outlined above, an unbalance or offset voltage exists in excess of 0±5 volts, contact Simco-Ion Technical Support at 510- 217-0470 or email techsupport@simco-ion.com. -
