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 802 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 802: AC Overhead Blower Model
The BFN 802, 2 fan overhead ionizing blower, with AC
technology, provides excellent balance and stability for
secure workstation protection. This superior ionizer is
equipped with task lighting, 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, stable AC de-
sign. An integrated emitter point cleaner, removable
front and rear fan guards, safety switch combine to make
the BFN 802 an effective, user friendly ionizer.
Features
 AC ionization output
 Task Light
 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 posi-
tion and connect the power cord. Rotate the on/off, fan
speed knob clockwise to turn on the unit. Continue rotat-
ing 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 outlet
finger guards and the fan assembly. Emitter point cleaning
affects the static decay ability of the ionizer and is impor-
tant for maintaining its optimal performance.

Tested in accord with ANSI/ESD STM3.1-2006
Operating Guide Cont.
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 clean-
ing 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
guard separate from the metal housing.
B. Lightly pull the front cover downwards until it sepa-
rates 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 Cont.
After removing both front and rear fan guards, the
emitter points and fan assembly will be unob-
structed, 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 opti-
mal performance from BFN ionizers depends on the
environment in which the BFN series ionizer oper-
ates.
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.

Air Inlet Assembly
A. Line up the clips on the rear fan guard with the slots
on the BFN fan housing.
B. Push the rear fan guard into the corresponding slots.
C. Slide the two sides of the rear fan guard down.
D. Lightly pull the very bottom of the rear fan guard
downward with your thumb to lock it securely.

Caution: BFN series products have safety relay
switches where the front and rear fan guards attach
to the unit. These relays disable the fan/ionizer op-
eration when either fan guard is removed. Take care
when attaching the fan guards to assure proper func-
tioning of the product.
Bulb Replacement
The BFN 802 comes with two task lights to eliminate the work
station and improve worker efficiency. The unit comes with
two 5W bulbs already installed.
Bulb Replacement Procedure.
Note: Always disconnect the ionizer from the power source
prior to replacing bulbs.
A. Remove light cover by sliding cover to the left to
release locking clasps.
B. Carefully lift cover off of casing to reveal bulb.
AB
C. Hold bulb by metal ends and turn the bulb 90 degrees.
Carefully lift bulb out of unit.
D. Insert new bulb into bulb holder and rotate 90 degrees
to lock in bulb.

Periodic Verification:
BFN ionizer have no user serviceable parts and the technology
requires no calibration because of the inherently stable ioniza-
tion output from the AC emission. Periodic verification is rec-
ommended, per ANSI/ESD SP3.3-2006 Periodic Verification of
Air Ionizers. Verification frequency may be set by the individ-
ual user, but is recommended to be not less than one time
per year.
E. Replace light cover and slide to the right to lock in place.
