Installation and Operation
1. Power Requirement. The BFNG10 works with common 110 AC
power. Connect the ionizing controller body to a grounded outlet
with the power cable. The switch on the controller body controls
the power to the gun.
2. Mounting. Mount the controller in a fixed location with the includ-
ed bracket. Choose a safe location that to avoid damage to the
controller. Avoid high humidity, wet and dusty locations.
3. Gas Line Connection. Connect the ionizer to a air source
through the 1/4 airline connection at the back of the controller.
The compressed gas supply must be clean dry air or nitrogen. To
prevent particles from entering the console, a 2 micron coalescing
filter or better can be used upstream of the gun console (optional).
Failure to use clean dry air or nitrogen may result in damage to
the BFNG10 Gun.
4. Decay time. The rate at which the ionizer will eliminate static
(decay time) is influenced by the strength of the air flow, and the
distance to the target surface. Lower airflow results in longer de-
cay times. The optimal operating distance is 4in—36in.
5. Air Pressure. The compressed air flow must be less than 88psi.
Higher pressure may influence the operating efficiency or cause
damage to the ionizer.
6. Operating Time. The BFNG10 ionizing air gun is not recom-
mended for continuous use. It is designed for point-and-shoot in-
termittent operation. If continuous operation is needed, contact
Transforming Technologies, there are specifically designed ioniz-
ers for continuous use.
7. Air Filter (Optional). The BFNG10 can be used
with an air filter for clean applications. Model
SPBFN37. The filter is installed inside the control-
ler to insure that the air output is clean and the
ionized air meets the cleanroom requirement. Re-
minder: Air filters have single way air through direction that must
be followed to achieve the filter’s efficiency.
8. Air Volume Controller (Optional). An finger valve can control
the compressed air volume release to the equipment. The valve
is installed in the back of the controller in place of the 1/4 inlet.
