TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-3033 Chargebuster Ion Gun Installation, Operation and Maintenance Necessary non-conductors in the environment cannot lose their electrostatic charge by attachment to ground. Ionization systems provide neutralization of charges on these necessary non-conductive items (circuit board materials and some device packages are examples of necessary non-conductors). Assessment of the ESD hazard created by electrostatic charges on the necessary nonconductors in the work place is required to ensure that appropriate actions are implemented, commensurate with risk to ESDS ESD sensitive items. (ANSI/ESDS20.20 Foreword) The Chargebuster Ion Gun and its accessories are available as the following item numbers: Item Description 19590 Chargebuster Ion Gun, with North America Power Figure 1.

The compressed gas supply must be clean dry air or nitrogen supplied by a delivery system that utilizes a refrigerated dryer or equivalent water removal to achieve a limit of about 550 ppm water vapor at 35F (1.66C) Dew Point. To prevent particles from entering the console, a 2 micron coalescing filter or better is recommended upstream of the gun console. Note that the filter in the console collects small residual particles Point this end to and aerosols and does not act as a primary filter. The the gas supply console filter is rated at 0.01 micron for particulates and is effective down to 0.008 micron for aerosols. Figure 2.

ASSEMBLY MOUNTING THE CONSOLE NOTE: Protect the hose from sharp objects, abrasion Choose a location convenient to the work area and gas and high temperatures. Do not pull or pinch the hose supply. The console takes up very little space and is while assembling the components. adaptable to a variety of permanent or non-permanent installations. To minimize bends in the Chargebuster 1. Insert the large end of the filter into the fitting at the Ion Guns hose, orient the console so that the open end end of the flexible hose. Push the filter gently until that accepts the filtered air hose to the hand unit points the metal release tab clicks and locks the filter into toward the work area, and the male connector points place. toward the gas supply. Prior to mounting, plug the RJ-11 cable from the power supply into the jack located on the back of the console. Use the included screws to attach the mounting plate to the threaded holes on the back of the console. Use suitable screws and fasteners to attach the mounting plate to a flat surface such as a wall or the back of a workbench. When mounting to a hollow wall, be sure to use adequate screws and wall anchors to ensure stability of the installation. Metal release tab Figure 3.
