1.1 Point of Use Ionizing Blower
The Point of Use Ionizing Blower Model 6422e is a compact
ionizing Blower that controls static discharge in areas where static
build-up can cause contamination, ESD, material-handling
problems, or microprocessor lock-up. The internal emitter points
are electrostatically shielded to eliminate field-induced charging.
Steady-state DC ion emission provides fast discharge with low
airflow, allowing less disturbance of delicate product.
The Model 6422e has a red alarm indicator LED on the front of the
chassis. The eight-pin terminal strip on the back of the unit
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, see Figure 2. Back of Model 6422e

1.2 About IsoStat Technology
The 6422e Blower’s internal emitter points are electrostatically
shielded to eliminate field-induced charging. Steady-state DC ion
emission provides fast discharge with low airflow for less
disturbance of delicate product.
Ionizers incorporating IsoStat technology never need calibration
and require very little maintenance. IsoStat is based on a law of
physics, Conservation of Charge, which states that charge cannot
be created or destroyed in an isolated system. By isolating the
ionizer’s emitter points from ground, IsoStat ensures equal
numbers of positive and negative ions.

1.3 Performance
The 6422e Blower will reduce a static charge of ±1,000V down to
100V in approximately four seconds at a distance of 1 ft. (30.48
cm)1. See Table 1 for typical discharge times as determined by
distance. Distance is measured from the front center of the Blower.
Ionization balance is better than ±20V at 1 ft. (30.48 cm).
Table 1. Performance
*Testing wasperformed with acharge platemonitorin accordance
with ionization standard ANSI/ESD STM3.1-2000 of the ESD
Association.
Four-second discharge at one foot distance is when operating Blower with AC
power. Discharge time at one foot when operating Blower with DC power is five
seconds.
Distance Discharge Time
1 ft (30.48 cm) 4 seconds*
2 ft (61 cm) 10 seconds
3 ft (91.44 cm) 19 seconds

1.4 Power Requirements
The maximum power requirement for the Model 6422e is 6W.
Three different power supplies are available as options for the
Blower, providing 24 VDC or 24 VAC. The fourth power source is
24 VDC from your process equipment using the terminal block and
eight pin connector on the rear of the Blower.
ION Systems offers three power supplies for use with this product:
• Transformer(p/n14-1320)forusewith120VAC/60Hzsystems
• Transformer(p/n14-1330)forusewith230VAC/50Hzsystems
• Both 14-1320 and 14-1330 transformers provide the Blower
with appropriate 24 VAC
• AC/DC universal power supply (p/n 14-1322) for use with 120/
240 VAC 50/60 Hz provides the Blower with 24 VDC power.
Caution: The use of improper input voltage may result in poor perfor-
mance or damage to the unit.
Damage caused to the power supply from operation in an
environment that exceeds the specified limits will void the
warranty.
Achtung: Die Verwendung unzulässiger Eingangsspannung kann zu
schlechter Leistung und Beschädigung des Gerätes führen.
