Description
Overhead Blower Model IN5130
The Model IN5130 68KHz AC overhead air ionizer is
designed to cover a complete workstation and to protect
sensitive electronic components from damage due to elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD). Using AC corona technology to
make the air more conductive, Ptec™ ionizers produce a
balanced stream of positive and negative air ions that
never need calibration. These devices are used in many
industries and manufacturing applications where static
electricity is a problem.
About Ptec™ Technology
A specialized piezoelectric high voltage transformer
makes Ptec™ ionizers among the most reliable products
available. Ptec™ ionizers are designed to remain in bal-
ance and to alarm when the HV output affects perform-
ance. The model IN5130 overhead static eliminator pro-
duces a 68KHz AC output of approximately 2200V and a
continuous stream of balanced air ions. Ionizers that use
Ptec™ technology do not require calibration and only mini-
mal maintenance.
Features
On the front panel of the IN5130 are six LEDs. Three
green LEDs indicate that power is applied to each of the
three Ptec™ HV transformers. The red LEDs illuminate
when an alarm condition occurs. A variable fan speed
control and on-off switch are also on the front panel. The
side panel of the ionizer has the IEC power input connec-
tor.

Power Requirements
The Model IN5130 High Frequency AC overhead air
ionizer is powered by an internal DC switching power sup-
ply that operates from 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz. The output
of the supply is +24 VDC @ 1.5 AMP.
Operation and Use
Environmental Conditions
The IN5130 can be operated in areas where humidity
is 20-70% RH (Non-condensing). Excess humidity may af-
fect ionizer performance. The temperature range for the
IN5130 is 65-78°F (18-25°C).
Set-up and Placement
2

Use the IN5130 overhead blower in proximity to a
static sensitive area or object. The unit can be mounted
on the workstation or attached to a structure using the
mounting holes provided.
Mounting
Install the overhead ionizer 24” (60.9 cm) above
the work area to achieve the most uniform decay per-
formance.
The IN5130 mounts easily using the S-hooks sup-
plied. Chain or cable is not supplied and may be re-
quired. S-hooks attach to the unit. Chains can be easily
attached and mounted to the ceiling or other structure.
Power Connection
 Connect the IEC Cable to the main unit, and plug it in
an AC socket. (Caution: Use the appropriate IEC
cable for the country of use).
 Make certain the unit is grounded (Via IEC cable).
 Turn the unit on to start the corona process. The ion-
izer creates a continuous stream of positive and
negative air ions. The ionized airflow is directed
through the front grill. Charged objects in the ioniza-
tion area are rapidly neutralized .
 The ion airflow is adjustable using the fan speed con-
trol knob.
Caution
!
Do not use this ionizer in an explosive environ-
ment! Corona ionizers produce a weak plasma
that can cause ignition in explosive environ-
ments.

 The red alarm indicator light illuminates in the event
of a problem with the high voltage power output.
 Turn the power switch off after operation.
Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance
The only regular maintenance required for the
IN5130 is the periodic cleaning of the emitter points and
ionizer grills. Emitter point cleaning affects the static de-
cay ability of the ionizer and is important for maintaining
its optimal performance.
Cleaning the front grill and external chassis
Disassemble the front grill by squeezing the grill side
clips. Temporarily remove the grill. Clean it with a polyes-
ter wiper and a cleaning solution of 50% IPA (electronic-
grade isopropyl alcohol) and 50% de-ionized water. As-
semble it when it is dry. Use the same method to clean
the exterior of the unit, including the inlet grill.
Cleaning the emitter points
Contaminants will gradually accumulate on the tip
of the emitter points with continuous use. Periodic clean-
ing of the emitter points is necessary to maintain the per-
formance of the ionizer. If the emitter points are dirty,
clean them with a polyester or cotton swab and IPA. Do
not damage or loosen the emitter points.
Caution
!
The only serviceable parts inside the ionizer are
the replaceable emitter points. Any unauthor-
ized service will void the warranty and may
result in additional repair fees.

Follow these instructions to clean the emitter points:
1. Remove the front grill.
2.
Moisten a swab or wiping cloth in the IPA solution.
3. Swab or wipe the emitter points until they are free of
particles.
4. Make certain the emitter points are straight and parallel
to the plane of the fan.
5. Replace the front grill.
6. Make sure the emitter points are dry before powering the
ionizer again.
Emitter Point Replacement
The IN5130 uses tungsten alloy precision etched emit-
ter needles. Contact Transforming Technologies for infor-
mation about ordering replacement emitters. The part num-
ber for emitters is listed below:
Replacement part Part Number
Tungsten replacement emitters 22-6423
Because the IN5130 high voltage output is AC, emitter
erosion from the ionization process on the electrodes is
minimal. Unless physically broken or stressed, the IN5130
emitters should last the life of the ionizer.
Follow these instructions to remove the emitter points:
1. Turn off and disconnect the unit from the AC power.
2. Remove the front grill.
3. Unscrew the threaded emitter point using a needle nose
pliers.
4. Replace and tighten the new emitter using the same
tool. Do not over-tighten.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as required.

6. Make certain the emitter points are straight and paral-
lel to the plane of the fan.
7. Replace the front grill.
Service
