980 Ionized Air Gun
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
December 2016
Description
The SCS 980 Ionized Air Gun provides efficient static
charge neutralization by effectively removing particle
contamination even on some of the most static-sensitive
products. The SCS 980 Ionized Air Gun includes a
North American power adapter. The SCS 980E Ionized
Air Gun does not include a power adapter, and it must
be purchased separately. All references to model
980 throughout this user’s guide pertain to both of the
models, unless otherwise noted.
Proprietary technology provides constantly balanced
ionization for consistent control of surface charges. The
Ionized Air Gun virtually never needs adjustment and
requires very little maintenance.
Compact and lightweight, the console for the Ionized
Air Gun can be mounted almost anywhere on the
workstation for easy access. It connects to a supply
of clean, dry air or nitrogen, and an internal disposable
filter collects particles from the gas supply. The
electrical feed from the console to the Ionized Air Gun is
incorporated into the light, flexible air hose. The Ionized
Air Gun itself is very lightweight and ergonomically
designed for long-term user comfort and efficient
operation. The console, Ionized Air Gun, and air hose
are all designed to be static-dissipative and ESD-safe.
The Ionized Air Gun helps reduce a static charge of
±1000V to ±100V in less than 1 second at a distance
of 6 inches (15 cm) and 30 psi (2 bars) inlet pressure
when tested in accordance with the ESD Association
ionization standard ANSI/ESD-S3.1. Balance (offset
voltage) is within ±30V at a distance of 6 inches (15
cm).
