The Desco EMIT Chargebuster Jr. H/O ionizing unit is a compact and lightweight auto-balancing bench top ionizer with emitter cassette that slides out easy for cleaning and replacement. The Chargebuster Jr.'s unique active feedback balancing circuit automatically ensures and maintains the unit's ion balance despite variations in line voltage, air speed, or emitter electrode condition. The ionizer's feedback circuit also gives a visual alarm indication when maintenance is required. The unit's compact, efficient design minimizes bench top space requirements and need for maintenance, while maximizing neutralization efficiency and overall performance.

Ionizers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, ElectroStatic Discharge, ElectroStatic Attraction, as well as preventing equipment latch-up and safety related shock. ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.3.1 Protected Areas Requirement states: "Ionization or other charge mitigating techniques shall be used at the workstation to neutralize electrostatic fields on all process essential insulators if the electrostatic field is considered a threat." Ionization is used to neutralize charges on process necessary insulators and isolated semiconductors. Some examples of process necessary insulators are: the PC board itself, plastic test stands, plastic housing where a PCB may be mounted, as well as computer monitor screens and regular cleaning wipes. Examples of floating or isolated conductors are: loaded PCB mounted in a stand where the pins are not contacting thedissipative workstation. Ionization is not effective on items that have large capacitance, like people and carts; however, ionizers should be considered as a method for charge neutralization in cases where grounding cannot be achieved.

Air ionization can neutralize the static charge on insulated and isolated objects by producing separate charges in the molecules of the gases of the surrounding air. When an electrostatic charge is present on objects in the work environment, it will be neutralized by attracting opposite polarity charges from the ionized air. Note that ionization systems should not be used as a primary means of charge control on conductors or people. (Reference: IEC 61340-5-2:1 paragraph 5.2.9).
