Description
BFN®Series Ionizers
Dependable, Balanced and Fast. BFN® AC ionizers, from
Transforming Technologies, are built to last. Reliable AC
ionization technology is combined with superior mechani-
cal 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.

Description
Please read these operating instructions thoroughly be-
fore operating the BFN 803 unit. All BFN series devices
require a grounded power source for proper operation.
BFN series products are NOT suitable for use in flamma-
ble or explosive environments.
BFN 803: AC Overhead Blower Model
The BFN 803, 3 fan overhead ionizing blower, with AC
technology, provides excellent balance and stability for
secure workstation protection. This superior ionizer is
equipped with 2 LED task lights, integrated emitter
cleaners and safe, easy maintenance access.
BFN series AC ionizers from Transforming Technologies
create a dense and well-balanced ionization current.
They are unique in their ability to deliver fast decay
times with low offset voltages. Continuous balance and
decay protection is assured by the reliable AC design. An
integrated emitter point cleaner, removable front and
rear fan guards, safety switch combine to make the BFN
803 a user friendly ionizer.
Features
 AC ionization output
 2 LED Task Lights
 Integrated emitter cleaning device
 Variable fan speed control
 Removable finger guards with auto shut-off sensor

Operating Guide
1. Power Connection
Properly locate and install the ionizer into the proper po-
sition and connect the power cord. Mounting brackets lo-
cated on the back right and left are used hang the ionizer
from the ceiling. Rotate the on/off, fan speed knob clock-
wise to turn on the unit. Continue rotating the knob to
achieve the desired fan speed.
Note: Do not insert any object into the air inlet or outlet.
Note: Unit must be properly grounded before operating.

2. Periodic Maintenance
The only maintenance required for BFN series ionizers is
the periodic cleaning of the emitter points, inlet and out-
let finger guards and the fan assembly. Emitter point
cleaning affects the static decay ability of the ionizer and
is important for maintaining its optimal performance.
Emitter point cleaning: All BFN series ionizing blow-
ers 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. CAUTION: Brushes do not
spin 360 degrees. Stopping point is on the bottom
right of fan guard. Do Not Force.
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 upwards and make the lower portion of the fan

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 screw-
driver.
B. Gently push the cover upwards.
C. Lift the rear cover up and away from the metal
casing.

Internal Fan Cleaning
After removing both front and rear fan guards, the emit-
ter 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 per-
formance from BFN ionizers depends on the environment
in which the BFN series ionizer operates.
When finished cleaning, replace both front and rear fan
guards.
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
gently press into the metal casing, until attached.
C. Press the sides of the cover in to make sure cover is
securely attached.

Caution: BFN series products have safety re-
lay switches where the front and rear fan
guards attach to the unit. These relays dis-
able the fan/ionizer operation when either
fan guard is removed. Take care when attach-
ing the fan guards to assure proper function-
ing of the product.
Periodic Verification:
BFN ionizer have no user serviceable parts and the
technology requires no calibration because of the in-
herently stable ionization output from the AC emis-
sion. Periodic verification is recommended, per ANSI/
ESD SP3.3-2006 Periodic Verification of Air Ionizers.
Verification frequency may be set by the individual
user, but is recommended to be not less than one
time per year. Equipment needed is a Charge Plate
Monitor.
