Description
The Desco 60503 Chargebuster® Plus Single-fan
Ionizer is used for neutralizing electrostatic charges
on insulators and ungrounded conductors. Its fast
discharge times (< 1 second at 12 inches) and ±10 volt
offset voltage exceed the required limits of ANSI/ESD
S20.20 and ESD TR53. The 60503 Chargebuster® Plus
Single-fan Ionizer monitors its offset voltage (balance),
and it alarms when emitter cleaning is required. A
built-in automatic emitter point cleaner periodically
brushes away dust and minimizes maintenance. The
emitters may be accessed for thorough cleaning with
the use of a single thumb screw. The Chargebuster®
Plus Single-fan Ionizer features a powder coated steel
enclosure, multi-mount stand, and terminal block with
alarm output for machine integration.
The Chargebuster® Plus Single-fan Ionizer operates on
Steady-state DC. Steady-state DC systems consist of
separate negative and positive ion emitters connected
by a pair of high-voltage cables to their respective
high-voltage power supplies. DC power is constantly
applied to the emitter points. The ionizer utilizes
sampling from its inner fan grill to continuously adjust
the output and maintain its offset voltage.

"The primary method of static charge control is direct
connection to ground for conductors, static dissipative
materials, and personnel. A complete static control
program must also deal with isolated conductors
that cannot be grounded, insulating materials (e.g.,
most common plastics), and moving personnel who
cannot use wrist or heel straps or ESD control flooring
and footwear. Air ionization is not a replacement for
grounding methods. It is one component of a complete
static control program. Ionizers are used when it is not
possible to properly ground everything and as backup
to other static control methods. In clean rooms, air
ionization may be one of the few methods of static
control available." [ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20
