Description
The SCS 9110 Benchtop Air Ionizers a self-contained,
ionized air blower designed to neutralize electrostatic
charges from non-conductive objects (insulators) and
isolated conductors. The SCS 9110 meets ANSI/ESD
S20.20 tested per ANSI/ESD STM3.1 and ESD TR53.
The ionizer is designed with a built-in automatic emitter
points cleaner to periodically clean the emitter points
therefore saving some manual work and time.
The SCS 9110 Benchtop Air Ionizer is available in one

Installation
Maintenance
The Benchtop Air Ionizer mounts easily in a variety of
positions using the provided tilting bracket/stand. Mount
the bracket by following the illustration below. Secure
the mounting bracket with screws on table top. Adjust
the angle of air flow towards the target and secure it by
tightening the side knobs.
1. When performing emitter points maintenance,
disconnect the Power Adapter AC plug from the
outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the power
plug with wet hands as doing so puts you at risk of
electrical shock or injury.

Figure 5. Installing the Benchtop Air Ionizer
The safety of any system incorporating this equipment
is the responsibility of the assembler of the system. The
ionizer’s performance is affected by its distance from
the worksurface and fan speed. As distance increases
or fan speed is reduced, the discharge time at the work
surface will increase.
WARNING: The Benchtop Air Ionizer is not designed to
be used in explosive areas or flammable atmospheres.
Sparks from the fan motor or emitter points may cause
ignition.
Electrical
Use the included AC/DC power adapter. For proper
operation, the unit must be grounded for safe operation.
Grounding
The Benchtop Air Ionizer must be connected to ground
through the GROUND Terminal behind the unit and
the ground wire included in the package. Connect the
ground wire to a known good electrical ground. Failure
to connect the ground terminal may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Operation
1. Insert the AC/DC power adapter plug into an
electrical outlet. Make certain that power line
voltage is within the operating range of the AC/DC
power adapter. The use of improper power line
voltages may impair operation or damage the unit.
This will void the warranty.
2. Occasional cleaning of the case is the only routine
maintenance required. Although the emitter points
have a built-in automatic cleaner, a check is still
necessary for any abnormality within the emitter
points. Verification and adjustment may be required
to keep the balance within the specification range.
3. Cleaning the Case - Wipe the case with a
moistened, fully squeezed soft cloth with deionized
water. If a stronger cleaning solution is required,
use a soft cloth with a mixture of alcohol and water
(70% IPA and 30% DI water). Do not use any other
solvents that can damage the coating of the case.
Fully squeeze the cloth or sponge to remove any
excess liquid.
4. Cleaning the Emitter Points - The emitter points and
auto-cleaning brushes are accessible through the
front grill. To clean them, turn off the unit; clean the
points and brushes with a cotton swab. Use caution
when accessing the emitter points to avoid injury.
Access to the points is available by removing two
tab screws on each side, pressing the side tabs,
and pulling off the grill (see images below). Use
caution when removing the grill to avoid breaking
the cable that connects the grill. Be careful not to
bend the emitter points during cleaning. The emitter
points are fixed and therefore not replaceable.
5. The safety switch functions to turn off the power
to the ionizer when the front grill is removed while
the ionizer is in operation. Before any maintenance
is performed on the emitter points and before
removing the front grill, ensure the unit is powered
off and the power cord is removed from the ionizer
or the wall outlet.
6. Re-attach the front grill after cleaning the emitter
points and fan blades. Replace the two tab screws
on each side of the grill.
7. Service - If you believe that a unit is not functioning
properly, disconnect the unit from power. If the unit
is covered by Warranty, contact your SCS sales
representative or distributor.
CAUTION: There are no user replaceable parts.
Unauthorized replacement of parts will void the
warranty.
2. The power switch on the front of the unit turns
the power and LED Power Indicator illuminates
when it’s on. The dial knob adjusts the fan speed.
Rotating it clockwise increases the fan speed.

6. Locate the Offset Voltage Adjust trimpot and slowly
turn the small screw head using a mini screwdriver.
Observe the CPM reading as you turn. Stop turning
as soon as the CPM reads as close to zero volts as
possible.
Remove two screws from
each side to release the tab.
7. Proceed to do the Decay Time and Offset Voltage
verification.
Decay Time and Offset Voltage Verification
1. Set the CPM to Decay/Offset mode. Refer to the
User’s Guide accompanying the CPM for proper
operation and setup.
Push and pull the tabs slowly.
2. Set the CPM to decay and offset voltage mode
with a starting charge at either + or – 1 KV and a
stopping charge at either + or -100 Volts.
Wipe the emitter points,
brushes, and fan with cotton
swab or brush.
3. Start the decay/offset test sequence on the CPM.
This will take a few seconds.
4. Record the decay time, and offset voltage as
displayed on the CPM.
Troubleshooting
Replace the front grill and
tighten two tab screws from
each side to lock the tab.
Problem
Action

not turn.
Turn off the unit. Disconnect the
AC plug from the outlet. Be sure to
contact a SCS sales representative or
authorized dealer to request inspection
and repair. Repairing the product
yourself is dangerous and will void the
warranty. Do not attempt to repair the

Calibration
Offset Voltage Calibration
1. The equipment needed to measure the offset
voltage is a calibrated charged plate monitor or
equivalent set to voltmeter mode. Refer to the
User’s Guide accompanying the CPM for proper
operation and setup.
2. Position the Benchtop Air Ionizer and CPM as
shown below.

3. Turn on the power for the ionizer and the CPM. Let
it warm up for 5 minutes.
4. Set the ionizer fan speed to maximum.
5. Set the CPM to voltmeter mode and select a smaller
scale, example: 25 Volts.
Perform cleaning of the emitter points
as described in the “Maintenance”
section.
