A low-cost and efficient means of neutralizing electrostatic buildup at workstations is provided by the Model 963 benchtop air ionizer. The unit is a self-contained, intrinsically balanced fan that ensures 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.The unit generates large amounts of ions, resulting in rapid neutralization of electrostatic charges in a 2" x 4" area. The powerful, two-speed fan reduces a static charge of 1000V to 100V in less than 1 second at a 1' distance using its high fan speed. At low speed, the fan is extremely quiet. Its gentle airflow won't disturb paperwork or cause personal discomfort. The unit measures 7" x 9" x 4".
