1. IMPORTANT
DR.SCHNEIDER PC DC-003 Overhead Ionizing Air Blower is a device
of the DR.SCHNEIDER PC ionizing air blower series. The DC-003
blower is an overhead unit designed to provide total coverage for
electrostatic problems.
Please read the instruction manual completely before installing or
operating the device. This device is equipped with a 3-wires
grounding plug and must be plugged into a 3-terminal grounded
socket. Do not modifying plug or using an ungrounded power socket.
If an extension cord is required, it should be used only a 3-wire
extension cord with grounding.
Do not insert any object through intake or outlet grille.
Do not operate the unit under inflammable or explosive
atmospheres.
Internal repairs or servicing should be done by DR.SCHNEIDER
PC technician.

4. INSTALLATION
The DR.SCHNEIDER PC Ionizing air blower should be located 600 to
900mm above work surface with center fan directly above critical
area. There should be no cross flow of air between unit and work
surface. Drafts from air conditioning or heating air outlets can affect
the performance of this device.
4.1 Mounting
The DR.SCHNEIDER PC DC-003 unit may be mounted using
adjustable mounting brackets. The mounting brackets are designed
for use on a variety of surfaces such as: perforated steel angle,

uninstructed metal framing and on Metro wire shelving. Place a lock
washer and flat washer on the lock knobs and secure the device
using center holes on mounting tab. Be sure to install fiber washer.
The hooks provide for chain mounting or mounting on wire shelving.
Install overhead blower by using outer holes on mounting tabs.
Chains and mounting hardware (not supplied) must have a
minimum safe working load of 15kg.
4.2 Electrical
The SCHNEIDER DC-003 requires 220V/110V for proper operation.
The device must be grounded for safe operation. The device comes
with line cord, without plug. A plug must be installed on the line
cord for operation. Installation of the plug must be performed by
qualified personnel. The color cord for wiring the plug is as follows:
Red-line; Blue-Neutral; Green/Yellow-Ground.
5. OPERATION
Activate the DC-003 Overhead Ionizing Air Blower by turning
ON/OFF switch. Set airflow as desired by adjusting FAN SPEED knob.
To clean ion emitter points, take off the air outlet panel and clean it
with a brush carefully.
The time required to neutralize a static charge on an item in the air
stream depends on fan speed. Setting a higher fan speed reduces
time required to neutralize a static charge.
When the DC-003 blower is used in an electronic assembly area, the
ionized air stream should cover as much of the working area as
possible. The constant flow of ionized air will prevent items such
as work surfaces, tools, materials and components from developing
a static charge. Charged items introduced into a work area will be

neutralized and will remain neutral while keeping in the ionized air
stream.
The DC-003 overhead blower has been designed for minimal
maintenance. The only regular maintenance suggested consists of
emitter point cleaning, ion balance checking and ion output
checking. Emitter point cleaning takes only moments with the point
cleaners. The DC-003 also contains a balancing circuit that is
inherently self-balancing. This circuit compensates for emitter point
wear, line voltage fluctuations and variations in air velocity.
Scheduled checking of ion output and balance should be considered
to assure quality audit requirements.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Emitter Cleaning
To clean ion emitter points, take off the air outlet panel and clean it
with a brush carefully. Recommended frequency of cleaning is once
a week.
6.2 Air Inlet and Outlet Cleaning
The air inlet grilles on the top of the unit and ionized air outlets
should remain clean to prevent restriction of airflow. They can be
cleaned with a soft brush or vacuum.
6.3 Ion Output Check
Use a charged plate monitor to test the unit for ion output. Decay
time should be measured and checked against the following Ion
Output tables.

1. Distance measured in mm, decay time measured in seconds.
2. Test data available using ME 268A charge plate analyzer.
3. Test figures are subject to the variation in the atmospheric
conditions.
4. Decay times are in seconds from 1000 volts to 100 volts.
If a charged plate monitor is not available, a hand held electrostatic
field meter can also be used. Ion output may be checked using the
following procedure.Take a piece of plastic and rub it with cloth
until a static charge can be read with the static meter.Turn on the
DR.SCHNEIDER PC DC-003 unit and set fan speed to high.Hold the
plastic one foot away from center ionized air outlet for five
seconds.Remove plastic from ionized air stream and measure static
charge. The plastic should be neutralized.
If no instrumentation is available, ion output may be verified with
the following procedure.
Tear off about a 300mm length of Scotch brand (or equivalent)
transparent tape.
Approach non-adhesive side of tape with your free hand and note
the electrostatic attraction of tape to your hand.Pass tape through
the ionized air stream approximately 1 foot from unit and again
approach non-adhesive side of tape with your free hand. If the tape
has been neutralized, it will not attract.
