  • Page 1 A i r I o n C o u n t e r s AlphaLab, Inc. The AIC3Pro is designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. by AlphaLab, Inc., a trusted source of standard and custom air ion measurement products since 1993.
  • Page 3 Overview The Precis-Ion™ Air Ion Counter Model AIC3Pro is a Gerdien condenser air ion meter. During operation, a blower draws air through the top of the meter, and the electrical charge from air ions (charged air molecules) is measured. The air ion count is calculated and displayed. The Static Shield: Do not use plastics, adhesives, Use of this shield is optional.
  • Page 4 Grounding the AIC3Pro Air Ions are charged air molecules. These air molecules are measured with respect to earth/ground reference. Thus, the meter must have an earth ground reference either via the hand/body of the operator or a ground cable connected to an outlet ground or other ground connection. At low air ion counts (<20K ions/cc), holding the meter (with the kickstand removed) maintains suffi- cient ground reference, provided that your body doesn’t build up a static charge.
