Steady-state DC ion emission provides fast discharge with low airflow. The Model 6432e features a red alarm indicator LED on the front of the Blower. See 2.8 Alarms section for a discussion of the alarm function. The eight-pin terminal strip provides a 4-20 mA current loop and relay output connection to your facility monitoring system (FMS) in addition to the 24 VDC input connection.

IsoStat enables them to operate without grounding wires or cables and still maintain ionizer balance. The Model 6432e Blower’s internal emitter points are electrostatically shielded to eliminate field-induced charging. Steady-state DC ion emission provides fast discharge with low airflow.
1.3 Performance The Blower will reduce a static charge of ±1,000V down to ±100V in approximately 4 seconds at a distance of 1 ft. (30.48 cm) when powered with 24 VAC. See the table below for typical discharge times as determined by distance. Distance is measured from the front center of the Blower.
1.4 Power Requirements The Model 6432e Blower can receive power from four different sources. Three different power supplies are available as options for the Blower, providing 24 VDC or 24 VAC. The fourth power source for the Blower is 24 VDC from your process equipment using the terminal block and eight pin connector on the rear of the Blower.
2.1 Box Contents The Blower is supplied with: • Two round mounting stand knobs. • Two truss-head screws for securing the bracket (p/n 28-3328). • One 8-pin terminal block plug for connecting to tool power (p/n 18-2308). • Certificate of Compliance. In addition, the following options may be included if they have been ordered: •...

2.3 Mounting Stand Knob Replacement The standard knobs on the mounting stand may be replaced with the truss head screws that are packaged with the Blower if desired. The screws allow for an improved grip on the mounting stand as they can be tightened down using a standard Phillips screwdriver.
2.4 Blower Placement Place the Model 6432e Blower in the desired in-tool or benchtop location. (See Table 1 on page 5 for discharge time distance recommendations.) Do not use this Blower in an explosive environment. Poorly maintained ionizers could produce minuscule electric arcs at Caution: the emitter points.
Performance and Power Requirements sections for additional information. AC Adapter Connection The AC adapter (Simco-Ion p/n 14-1322) output is 24 VDC at 400 mA, maximum. The AC adapter is shipped with its plug adapter uninstalled. To install the plug adapter, slide it into the bay on the AC adapter. Push it in until it clicks into place, see figure below.

Two pins on the eight-pin terminal strip on the rear of the Blower can receive 24 VDC power from your process equipment. An included terminal block (Simco-Ion p/n 18-2308) is used to connect 24 VDC power to the Blower from your process equipment. The terminals are designed to accept wiring between 22 AWG and 16 AWG.

Figure 10. Connected Terminal Block Damage to the product as a result of improper wiring Caution: connections or failure to heed maximum voltage limits will not be covered by the warranty. Schäden am Produkt infolge unsachgemäßer Verdrahtung oder wegen unterlassener Beachtung von maximal Achtung: zulässigen Spannungen werden nicht durch die Garantie abgedeckt.
2.6 FMS Connection The Model 6432e Blower provides a non-isolated 4-20 mA current loop and relay closure output for indicating alarm status to your process equipment or facility monitoring system (FMS). In addition to connecting 24 VDC power to the Blower, the included terminal block (Simco-Ion p/n 18-2308) connects the Blower to the FMS using pins 1-5.
2.7 Turning on the Blower Use the on/off switch on the front of the unit to turn on the Blower. The green Power LED will light. Once the Blower is powered on, its position may be readjusted to achieve optimum discharge time within the air pattern of the Blower. To adjust the position of the Blower, loosen the knobs on the mounting stand.
2.8 Alarms In the event of an alarm, the red LED on the front of the Model 6432e Blower will light. An alarm indicates that the Blower’s internal high voltage power circuitry that drives the emitter points is not functioning correctly. Causes may include low or incorrect input voltage, or a compromised internal part.
3.1 Maintenance Requirements The performance of the Blower is designed to be maintained primarily by the internal auto-balance circuitry. Occasional cleaning of the case and emitter points is the only routine maintenance required. No readjustment of the ionizer is required after cleaning. The Blower can be easily removed from the universal bracket by unscrewing the side knobs.
The Blower uses internally-shielded emitter points that will not normally require replacement during the service life of this product. If you believe that the emitter points need to be replaced, contact Simco-Ion Technical Support (techsupport@ion.com) for information. 19-6432-M-01 Rev 4...
