Introduction
________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to your new Acaia Ion Beam.
Specifically designed to address the common issue of static electricity generated during the
coffee grinding process, the Acaia Ion Beam features an industrial-grade ion generator that
effectively minimizes static generated from grinding.
The static electricity is neutralized, reducing the retention of coffee grounds and minimizing
flying chaff and clumps. The Ion Beam neutralizes either the positive or negative charges that
build up during the grinding process, eliminating the static electricity that causes coffee
grounds to cling together.
With the Acaia Ion Beam, you can expect a better coffee grinding experience, with less mess
and more consistency.
Features
• Industrial-grade ion generator that generates concentrated high density negative or
positive ions
• Works for light roasted coffee to dark roasted coffee
• Portable design to work with different coffee grinders.
• Reduces flying chaffs, clumps and retention for coffee preparation

Using the Acaia Ion Beam
______________________________________________________________________________
Using Acaia Ion Beam for the Orbit
Using Acaia Ion Beam with a Tripod
1 You will need L-shape mount x 1, Spacer x
2, 1/4-20x12 Thumb Screw x 1, M3x12 mm
Screw x 1.
2 Remove the M3x8 mm screw on the left side
of the motor housing of the Orbit.
3 Align the short side of the L-shape
mount with the Orbit and fix it in place with
an M3x12 mm screw as shown. The long
side of the mount should be perpendicular
to the Orbit housing.
4 When installing the Ion Beam, place a
spacer on both sides of the screw hole and
tighten it with a 1/4-20x12 thumb screw. Once
the Ion Beam is installed, position it at 45
degrees angle towards the chute.
1 Place the tripod screw thread into the tripod
socket on the Ion Beam housing.
2 Rotate your tripod clockwise, until it connects to
the Ion Beam housing. (A standard 1/4 inch tripod
socket ensures universal compatibility)

Usage
Place the Ion beam as close as possible to your
grinder chute and turn on the Ion beam. It works
best while shooting the ions from slightly above the
exiting path of the grinder, and users may
experiment with different grinders to find the
optimal position for their specific setup.
Area of Effect
Depending on the environment, the Ion Beam is
most effective when placed as close to the coffee
grounds as possible. It usually works within 1-5
cm range.
