1.1 Point of Use Ionizing Blower
Model 6432e
The Point of Use Ionizing Blower Model 6432e 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-inducedcharging.Steady-stateDCionemissionprovidesfast
discharge with low airflow.
The Model 6432e features a red alarm indicator LED on the front of
the Blower. See 2.8 Alarms section for a discussion of the alarm
function. The eight-pin terminal strip provides a 4-20 mA current
loop and relay output connection toyour facility monitoring system
(FMS) in addition to the 24 VDC input connection.

1.2 About IsoStat Technology
Patented IsoStat technology makes ION Systems ionizing Blowers
the most reliable ionizers available. IsoStat enables them to
operate without grounding wires or cables and still maintain ionizer
balance. The Model 6432e Blower’s internal emitter points are
electrostatically shielded to eliminate field-induced charging.
Steady-state DC ion emission provides fast discharge with low
airflow.
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.

19-6432-M-01 Rev 1 5
1.3 Performance
The Blower will reduce a static charge of ±1,000V down to ±100V
in approximately 4 seconds at a distance of 1 ft. (30.48 cm). See
the table below 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).
Testingwas performed with a charged plate monitor inaccordance
with ionization standard ANSI/ESD STM3.1-2006 of the ESD
Association.
Distance Discharge Time
1 foot (30.48 cm) 4 seconds
2 feet (61 cm) 7 seconds
3 feet (91.44 cm) 11 seconds
4 feet (122 cm) 17 seconds

1.4 Power Requirements
The Model 6432e Blower can receive power from four different
sources.Three different powersupplies are available as options for
the Blower, providing 24 VDC or 24 VAC. The fourth power source
for the Blower is 24 VDC from your process equipment using the
terminal block and eight pin connector on the rear of the Blower.
The maximum power requirement for the Blower is 6W.
ION Systems offers three power supplies for use with this product:
• Transformer(partnumber14-1320)forusewith120VAC/60Hz
systems.
• Transformer(partnumber14-1330)forusewith230VAC/50Hz
systems.
Both 14-1320 and 14-1330 provide the Blower with appropriate 24
VAC power.
• Universal power supply (part number 14-1322) for use with
100-240 VAC systems provides 24 VDC output.
Caution: The use of improper input voltage may result in poor
performance or damage to theunit. The transformer should
not be operated beyond the specified electrical limit as
described in the Specifications section of this manual.
Damage caused to the transformer from operation in an
environment that exceeds the specified limits will void the
warranty.
Achtung: UnzulässigeEingangsspannungkannzuschlechterLeistung
und Beschädigung des Gerätes führen. Der Transformator
sollte nicht außerhalb der spezifizierten Grenzen, wie in
diesem Handbuch angegeben, betrieben werden. Schäden
am Transformator, verursacht durch Betrieb außerhalb der
festgelegten Grenzwerte, fallen nicht unter die
Garantiebestimmungen.

2.3 Mounting Stand Knob
Replacement
The standard knobs on the mounting stand may be replaced with
thetrussheadscrews that are packaged with the Blowerifdesired.
The screws allow for an improved grip on the mounting stand as
they can be tightened down using a standard Phillips screwdriver.
To install the screws:
1. One side at a time, unscrew and remove the knobs from the
sides of the Blower.
2. Thread the machine screws through the mounting stand and
into the chassis. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
screws.

location. (See Table 1 on page 5 for discharge time distance
recommendations.)
Caution: Do not use this Blower in an explosive environment. Poorly
maintainedionizerscouldproduceminusculeelectricarcsat

Achtung: Verwenden Sie dieses Gebläse nicht in
explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen. Schlecht gewartete
Ionisatoren können an den Emitter-Punkten Lichtbögen
erzeugen und in explosiver Umgebung eine Explosion
auslösen.

2.5 Power Connections
The Blower may be powered by an optional 24 VAC 120 or 220 volt
transformer or a 24 VDC universal AC adapter, sold separately by
ION Systems. Plug the transformer or universal AC adapter into a
properlygroundedVACreceptaclewith thecorrectvoltage foryour
power supply.
Power Supply Connection
InsertthepowercablefromthetransformerorACadapterintothe
Power In receptacle on the back of the Blower. See the
Performance and Power Requirements sections for additional
information.
AC Adapter Connection
The AC adapter (ION Systems p/n 14-1322) output is 24 VDC at
400 mA, maximum.
The AC adapter is shipped with its plug adapter uninstalled. To
install the plug adapter, slide it into the bay on the AC adapter.
Push it in until it clicks into place, see figure below.
Figure 8. Push the Adapter into the Power Supply

19-6432-M-01 Rev 1 16
Process Equipment Power Connection
Two pins on the eight-pin terminal strip on the rear of the Blower
can receive 24 VDC power from your process equipment. An
included terminal block (ION Systems p/n 18-2308) is used to
connect 24 VDC power to the Blower from your process
equipment. The terminals are designed to accept wiring between
22 AWG and 16 AWG.
When wiring the Blower directly to a 24 VDC source, observe the
maximum voltage and power requirements for the unit [24 VDC
(±10%), 400 mA DC maximum].
Use a small flatblade screwdriver to secure cables into the terminal
block. See figure below.
