Description
BFN®Series Ionizers
Dependable, Balanced and Fast. BFN® AC ionizers,
from Transforming Technologies, are built to last. Re-
liable AC ionization technology is combined with supe-
rior mechanical design to assure years of optimal
static neutralizing performance.
 A full 1 year warranty.
 CE certification.
 All BFN® AC ionizers use titanium alloy emitter
points for long life.

All BFN series AC ionizing blowers are designed for safe
operation under normal use. Safety switches under the
front and rear removable finger guards shut off the unit,
protecting the operator during maintenance.
 Do not operate BFN series products in flammable
or explosive environments.
 Do not insert foreign objects into the air inlet or
outlet.
 Make certain the BFN ionizer is properly grounded
before operation.
 Disconnect the BFN ionizer from any power source
before removing the finger guards.
 Do not open or attempt to repair any BFN series
product. Breaking the manufacturing seal will void
warranty.
BFN 801: Bench top Blower Model
The BFN 801 bench top ionizing blower, with in-
herently stable AC technology, provides excellent balance
and rapid charge decay for secure workstation protec-
tion. Designed to protect most sensitive electronic de-
vices, the BFN 801 uses corona ionizing technology to
continuously produce a balanced output of positive and
negative air ions.
Features
 Stable AC ionization output
 Integrated emitter cleaning device
 Variable fan speed control
 Removable finger guards with auto shut-off sensor

Operating guide
1. Power Connection
Install the ionizer into the proper position and connect the
power cord. Rotate the on/off, fan speed knob clockwise to
turn on the unit. Continue rotating the knob to achieve the
desired fan speed.
2. Bracket Adjustment
To adjust the angle of operation of the BFN 801 ionizer,
loosen the mounting knobs that secures the bracket and
loosen the left gear completely. Now adjust the unit to the
required angle and re-tighten the knobs.
Note: Failure to loosen the bracket knobs sufficiently may
result in damage to the bracket mounting system.
3. Periodic Maintenance
The only maintenance required for BFN series ionizers is
the periodic cleaning of the emitter points, inlet and outlet
finger guards and the fan assembly. Emitter point cleaning
affects the static decay ability of the ionizer and is impor-
tant for maintaining its optimal performance.
Emitter point cleaning: All BFN series ionizing blowers
include an integrated emitter point cleaning brush on the
inlet fan guards. Turn the emitter point cleaners clockwise,
then counter clockwise several times, until points are clean.
When finished, return the point cleaning brush to its resting
position.
Internal fan cleaning: All BFN series ionizing blowers offer
convenient cleaning of the internal fan assembly. Use the
following procedure to maintain cleanliness.
Note: Always disconnect the ionizer from the power source
prior to internal cleaning.

Air outlet disassembly
A. Press the button on the bottom of the plastic front cover up-
wards and make the lower portion of the fan guard separate
from the metal housing.
B. Lightly pull the front cover downwards until it separates from
the blower.
C. Completely remove cover and set aside.
Air Inlet Disassembly
A. Press the recessed release point on the bottom of the plastic
rear cover using a flat blade screwdriver.
B. Gently push the cover upwards.
C. Lift the rear cover up and away from the metal casing.
A B C
After removing both front and rear fan guards, the emitter
points and fan assembly will be unobstructed, for easy deep
cleaning. Use a soft brush, Isopropyl Alcohol and compressed
air to remove any foreign matter.
Note: The frequency of cleaning required for optimal perform-
ance from BFN ionizers depends on the environment in which
the BFN series ionizer operates.

Air Outlet Assembly
A. Slide the slot on the upper back side of the front fan
guard onto the metal case.
B. Push upward from the bottom of the front fan and gen-
tly press into the metal casing, until attached.
C. Press the sides of the cover in to make sure cover is
securely attached.

Air Inlet Assembly
A. Line up the clips on the rear fan guard with the slots on
the BFN fan housing.
B. Push the rear fan guard into the corresponding slots.
C. Slide the two sides of the rear fan guard down.
D. Lightly pull the very bottom of the rear fan guard down-
ward with your thumb to lock it securely.
Caution: BFN series products have safety relay
switches where the front and rear fan guards attach to
the unit. These relays disable the fan/ionizer operation
when either fan guard is removed. Take care when at-
taching the fan guards to assure proper functioning of
the product.

Periodic Verification:
BFN ionizer have no user serviceable parts and the technology re-
quires no calibration because of the inherently stable ionization out-
put from the AC emission. Periodic verification is recommended, per
ANSI/ESD SP3.3-2006 Periodic Verification of Air Ionizers. Verifica-
tion frequency may be set by the individual user, but is recom-
mended to be not less than one time per year.
