SCIONTM IN1200 - Ionizing Bar Operaon Manual
The SCIONTM IN1200 ionizing bar is an eecve tool to eliminate stac in
the electronics, plascs, chemicals, prinng, texle, opcal and other in-
dustries. Ulizing AC Square Wave Technology, the SCIONTM IN1200 deliv-
ers uniform streams of ionized air that quickly eliminates stac charge.
The ionizing bar features a unique aerodynamic design that ionizes a local
area without disrupon laminar ow. The IN1200 ionizing bar is designed
to reduce stac charge in mini-environments, laminar ow hoods and
wide are applicaons. Available in four dierent lengths.

Noce of Safety and Use
1. Read this manual carefully before use.
2. The device must be properly grounded when in use.
3. This device uses high voltage. Do not touch electrodes while in use. Do
not open bar without authorizaon. Internal maintenance and repair
must be carried out by professionals.
4. Do not use this device in an environment where the humidity is greater
than 75%
5. Do not use this device in combusble and explosive environments.
6. Electrodes must not come in contact with metal conductors.
7. Please contact Transforming Technologies Customer Service for repair
informaon.
Installaon
1. Choose opmal locaon for ionizaon and mount the bar and power
supply. Bar should be mounted perpendicular to the charged surface.
2. Slide the EZ mount clips onto the ionizer and twist. Tighten with an
Allen wrench to secure posion.
3. Insert the power cord in the port labels "Power".
4. Connect the air source to the bar via the quick release valve.
5. Turn on the power switch and adjust air pressure to proper levels with
needle valve.
Posioning

Air Assist
Aach the IN1200 to the gas line using the appropriate tubing. The
IN1200 comes with a 1/4” quick release connector. Adjust pressure as
required.
The me required to neutralize a stac charge on an item in this area de-
pends on two important factors: distance to the ionizer and air velocity
assist. With high air velocity, the ions travel further before they recom-
bine. Using assisted air with high speed results in coverage for the great-
est possible area.
Adjustments
There are two sengs on the ion bar that can be adjusted: Working Fre-
quency and Duty Rao. Adjustments are made to t your applicaon or
ion bar setup and are completed with the SCION remote control.
Working Frequency
The SCION uses an alternang current to produce ions. The Working Fre-
quency is the speed (measured in Hz) at which the ion bar makes a full
cycle from the posive current to the negave and back to posive. The
bar can be adjusted from 1Hz (slowest) to 50Hz (fastest). The Working
Frequency used depends on the distance the charge is from the bar and
the amount of airow assist used. A slower Working Frequency increases
the distance that the ions travel from the bar and works with lower air-
ow. A higher Working Frequency is used when the charge is close to the
bar and in high airow applicaons.
Duty Rao
Duty Rao is the balance of posive and negave ions the ion bar produc-
es. For most situaons, the ideal average balance should be as close to 0
as possible. This means the ion bar produces the same amount of posive
and negave ions. You can increase the amount of posive ions with
"IB+" and increase the negave ions with "IB+" on the SCION remote.
Duty Rao for Primarily One Charge Polarity
Situaons exist when you may need more of one ion polarity than the

other. If you are certain that the charge to be neutralized is primarily posi-
ve or negave, you can adjust the bar to produce the opposite charge.
For example, molded plasc components has a large primarily negave
charge so you would increase the posive ions produced by the bar.
You can set the ion bar to only posive or only negave with the "P" and
"N" on the remote. Cycle the bars power o and on to reset this.
Remote Control Operaon
"R/S": Run/Stop: Turns the bar on and o
"IB+": Increase duty rao
"IB-" Decrease duty rao
"P": Only posive voltage cycle
"N" Only negave voltage cycle
"Bar": Adjusts the ion bar working frequency.
"C": Rest
The bar can be set from 1hz (slowest) to 50hz
(fastest) by pressing "Bar" and then a number:
"Bar"+"1": Set ion bar working frequency 1Hz;
"Bar"+"2": Set ion bar working frequency 3Hz
"Bar"+"3": Set ion bar working frequency 5Hz;
"Bar"+"4": Set ion bar working frequency 10Hz
"Bar"+"5": Set ion bar working frequency 20Hz;
"Bar"+"6": Set ion bar working frequency 30Hz
"Bar"+"7": Set ion bar working frequency 50Hz; "
High Voltage Alarm
The ion bar will issue an alarm (Alarm 1) on the LED if a HV error occurs.
The error is a result of an issue with the high voltage current owing
through the bar. If an HV error occurs, turn of the ion bars power and con-
tact Transforming Technologies at 419-841-9552.

Maintenance
The electrodes must be regularly cleaned to maintain good ionizing per-
formance. Frequency of cleaning is dependent on the cleanliness of the
environment and requirements of the ESD program. At least once a
month is a suggested frequency. Note: Do not clean ionizer when pow-
ered on.
1. Power o the ion bar and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Clean the electrode p, discharge pad and metal discharge body with
alcohol and a clean cloth.
3. Do not power on the ion bar unl the components are completely dry.
Calibraon
The SCION IN1200 ion output is inherently balanced by design, so there
are no calibraon adjustments. Periodic vericaon is recommended, per
ANSI/ESD SP3.3-2006 Periodic Vericaon of Air Ionizers. Vericaon fre-
quency may be set by the individual user, but is recommended to be not
less than one me per year.
Equipment needed is a Charge Plate Monitor such as Transforming Tech-
nologies EFM51.CPS.SET or CPM74. Test the ionizer's ion output and bal-
ance according to the Charge Plate's instrucons.
Ion Output Check: Discharge mes should be 2 seconds (1000v-100v) at
18".
Ion Balance Check: Oset voltage should be measured and be within +30
volts.
