Small and quiet running, yet uncompromising in performance, Simco-Ion's Aerostat PC provides superior electrostatic discharge times rates over a targeted work surface area. It provides optimum protection from the destructive effects of ESD by neutralizing potentially destructive surface charges in the work environment. The Aerostat PC ionized air blower produces an airflow that is rich in positive and negative ions. Directing the airflow on an object that has an electrostatic charge will neutralize the charge. If the object has a negative charge, it will draw positive ions from the airflow. Conversely, if the object has a positive charge, it will draw negative ions from the airflow. The air ions are attracted to the oppositely charged object and neutralize the charge on the object.

The Aerostat PC is a portable ionized air blower. It uses a small fan to produce airflow. The volume of airflow is controlled by a variable speed control which provides a wide range of airflow settings. The Aerostat PC Heater 5100625-M Rev 9 3 low wattage heating element (where applicable) can be turned on at any time for user comfort. The ionizing elements are energized with a low current, high voltage transformer. The transformer contains a current limiting resistor which enhances ionization stability and provides for safety. The high voltage AC is applied to a circular arrangement of ion emitter points, which results in an intense alternating electric field at the tip of the emitter points. It is this electric field that creates alternating polarity ions in the airflow. To assure that the unit is working properly, the high voltage AC is monitored by an ionization indicator lamp. The Aerostat PC features a balancing circuit and built-in emitter point cleaner. Using the point cleaner takes only seconds. Cleaning the emitter points prevents the build-up of airborne debris. This keeps your Aerostat PC working in top form for the life of the unit. The Aerostat PC was designed for use with sensitive electronic components, where electrostatic charge is a problem. The Aerostat PC can also be used where static electricity causes problems such as: attraction of dirt to product, misalignment of small parts due to electrostatic "jumping" and undesirable adhesion of plastic films due to electrostatic charge.
