The Desco EMIT Portable Ionizing Air Gun is a ready-to-use unit for use in applications and areas where electrostatic charge can create manufacturing or handling problems. This unit quickly and effectively neutralizes bulk static charges and aids in controlling contamination by dislodging dust and debris attracted by static electricity.

The Portable Ionizing Air Gun meets or exceeds the recommended technical requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20 tested in accordance with ANSI/ESD S3.1.

The Portable Ionizing Air Gun is designed for point-of-use applications. Ionizers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, ElectroStatic Discharge, and ElectroStatic Attraction. 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 the dissipative workstation.

Features:

• Light weight, ergonomically designed
• Unique design
• High frequency AC ionization
• Ionization "ON" indicator
• LED indication of ion output and low battery condition
• Safety wrist cord
• Includes 4 AA rechargeable NiCad batteries

NOTE: The unit is not recommended for continuous use.
