[. . . ] 963/963E Benchtop Air Ionizers Rapid neutralization of electrostatic charge The ion-generation technology present in the 963 and 963E benchtop air ionizers is capable of producing extremely large amounts of ions, resulting in nearly instantaneous static charge neutralization. The 3M 963 is capable of reducing a static charge of 1000V to 100V in less than one second, at a one foot 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. [. . . ] Where industrial noise may irritate personnel and lower productivity, the 963 and 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. * 1 The use of ionized air in electronics work environments eliminates the build up of potentially damaging static charges. Air ionizers are primarily used to control static charge on nonconductive materials. Grounding is normally used to control charge on conductive objects and personnel, however, nonconductors cannot be grounded to drain electrostatic charge. Ionization is the only method of neutralizing a static charge on a nonconductor. Ionized air can neutralize static charges on circuit board substrates, insulating tapes and plastic objects found in the work area. The 3MTM 963 and 963E benchtop air ionizers, blanket the benchtop with ionized air to help prevent static from damaging sensitive electronics. Two versions of Benchtop Air Ionizer available The 963 benchtop air ionizer uses AC 120V power, while the 963E uses AC 220V/230V power. Both ionizers feature a two-speed fan, a power indicator lamp, a static-dissipative plastic housing, and a combination metal-plastic stand that can also double as a mounting bracket. When tested according to ANSI/ESD S3. 1-1991 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 3MTM Models 963 and 963E have been tested to, and have passed, regulatory testing for U. S. , Canada, Mexico and the European Union.
