The EMIT 50642 Mini Zero Volt Ionizer (ZVI) 2 is a compact bench top ionizer used for neutralizing electrostatic charges on insulators and ungrounded conductors in a 6" x 24" coverage area. Its compact size (5.3" high x 3.5" wide x 1.7" deep with stand) allows it to be used in confined spaces such as environmental chambers and automated equipment. It may also be used at standard ESD workstations. Its fast discharge times (< 3 seconds at 12") and ±5 Volt offset voltage exceed the required limits of ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ESD TR53. Steady-State DC emitters are spaced farther apart to prevent ion recombination, increase decay efficiency and provide a broader coverage area of ionization. The Mini ZVI 2’s two-speed fan (33 CFM to 51 CFM) produces consistent performance at both the low and high speeds. Low airflow may be used when working with small parts and components that may move with higher airflow. The Mini ZVI 2 features a stainless steel enclosure and multi-mount stand to minimize contamination and corrosion when used in clean or sensitive areas.

Ionizers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, electrostatic discharge, electrostatic attraction, as well as preventing equipment latch-up. Per ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 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.” “Air ionization can neutralize the static charge on insulated and isolated objects by producing separate charges in the molecules of the gases of the surrounding air. When an electrostatic charge is present on objects in the work environment, it will be neutralized by attracting opposite polarity charges from the ionized air. Note that ionization systems should not be used as a primary means of charge control on conductors or people.” (Reference: EN 61340-5-2:1 clause 5.2.9)
