Rapid neutralization of
electrostatic charge
The ion-generation technology present in the
963E Benchtop Air Ionizer is capable of
producing extremely large amounts of ions,
resulting in nearly instantaneous static charge
neutralization. The 3M 963E is capable of
reducing a static charge of 1000V to 100V in less
than one second, at a 0.3 m distance, when tested*
at the high fan speed. In addition, the powerful fan
allows the generated ions to be carried at high
speed for long distances. At a distance of 0.9 m,
the discharge time only increases to
approximately five seconds.
* When tested according to ANSI/ESD S3.1-1991
Intrinsically balanced,
maintenance-free
3M ionizers have a proprietary, intrinsically
balanced ion generation system which ensures that
equal levels of positive and negative ions are
produced despite variations in line voltage, fan
speed, and emitter point condition. No adjustment
or calibration is required to maintain ion balance.
This allows the unit to generate a balanced mix of
positive and negative ions - even if the emitter
points become dirty.
The 963E is virtually maintenance free. The
ionizer’s unique design requires only periodic
cleaning of emitter points to maintain optimum
performance. The points do not require
replacement and the unit does not require
adjustment before or after cleaning.
Quiet and comfortable air flow
The two-speed fan in the 963E Benchtop Air
Ionizer is extremely quiet at low speed. Where
industrial noise may irritate personnel and lower
productivity, the 963E may be used without
contributing significantly to the ambient noise.
The fan’s gentle airflow does not disturb paper or
delicate parts. The high-speed fan setting can be
used for more rapid neutralization of static
charges in environments where faster decay rates
are required.
Static-dissipative housing safe
to use in ESD sensitive areas
The injection-molded plastic case is constructed
of static-dissipative plastic. The conductivity of
the case prevents a static charge from building up
on the surface of the housing, a common problem
with ionizers. This “ESD-safe” design allows the
ionizer to be part of your overall static-
safeguarded electronic workstation.
Meets Global Regulatory
Requirements
Global usage of electronic products are often
dependent on the product meeting regulatory
requirements for the country of usage. To achieve
this end, the model 963E has been tested to, and
have passed, regulatory requirements for the
European Union. The 963E carry the UL, C-UL,
NOM and CE marks.
