SAFETY INFORMATION  
The 3MBenchtop Air Ionizer 963E is designed to generate and deliver a  
stream of ionized air. Its intended use is to neutralize excess static electricity  
buildup on electronic devices and work surfaces. It is meant to function as a  
stand alone device. The Ionizer 963E is not intended to take the place of proper  
grounding of personnel as the preferred method of controlling electrostatic  
buildup and preventing hazardous discharge.

NOTICE  
CAUTION  
• The Ionizer 963E runs off 24VDC power, supplied by a universal power supply capable of converting  
100–240VAC electrical service. Usage of the unit with the incorrect electrical voltage could result in  
incorrect performance and an unsafe operating condition.  
• The Ionizer 963E has no user-serviceable parts. Do not remove the grill or disassemble the unit in  
any way. If service other than that recommended in this manual is needed, please contact 3M for  
information. UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.  
• The Ionizer 963E is NOT designed for usage in hazardous environments where the possibility of  
explosion or fire exists.  
• When cleaning the Ionizer 963E housing or emitter points, verify that the unit is off and  
disconnected from electrical power. Collected dirt on this unit should be removed regularly to  
prevent accumulation that may result in fire.

1.0 Description  
The 3MBenchtop Air Ionizer 963E is a self-contained ionizing air blower  
designed to remove static charges from non-conductive objects. The proprietary  
circuitry contained in the blower generates balanced levels of positive and  
negative ions. The Ionizer 963E is equipped with a two speed fan which allows  
the user to select the amount of ionized air to be delivered to the target object.  
In addition, the housing of the Ionizer 963E is constructed of a static-dissipative  
plastic, which minimizes the amount of static charge that can build up on the  
outside surface of the unit.  
2.0 Performance  
The Ionizer 963E reduces a static charge of 1000V to 100V in less than two  
seconds (the discharge time) at a distance of one foot (30 cm) using the high fan  
speed. Testing is performed in accordance with the ionization standard ANSI/  
ESD S3.1.  
3.0 Power Requirements  
The Ionizer 963E requires 24VDC power, which is supplied through a Mini  
DIN connector on the back of the unit. The Ionizer 963E is packaged with a  
switching power supply, capable of converting 100V–240VAC, 50/60 Hz into  
24VDC. The switching power supply uses a 6 ft. (1.8 m) cord to connect to the  
ionizer, and has an IEC 320 input socket for incoming power. It comes with a  
North American-style three-prong plug or Continental Europe (EURO) plug.  
Two versions are available depending on the power cord plug (European or  
North American). The Ionizer 963E should only be used with the included power  
supply.  
4.0 Installation  
4.1 The Ionizer 963E mounts easily in a variety of positions using the  
provided tilting bracket/stand. Place the unit on the work surface and  
point it at the area or object to be neutralized. Alternatively, the mounting  
bracket may be attached directly to or above the workstation, or on  
another supporting structure. Please note that placement of the Ionizer  
963E is important in determining its effectiveness. The distance from the  
target object, and fan speed affect the ionizers performance. As distance  
increases or fan speed is reduced, the discharge time will increase.  
4.2 Connect the switching power supply to the Ionizer 963E using the Mini  
DIN connector. Then, using the appropriate electrical power cord, connect  
the switching power supply to an electrical outlet.

5.0 Operation  
The three position rocker switch on the front of the unit is the POWER switch.  
The center switch position (marked O) is the OFF position. The upper and  
lower switch positions (marked II and I) turn the unit on to HIGH and LOW fan  
speeds. Use this switch to turn the unit on and to select the desired fan speed.  
A green monitor light is also illuminated respectively on the front of the unit,  
which indicates that the power switch is in one of the ON positions, and that the  
ionizer is now in use.  
6.0 Maintenance  
Occasional cleaning of the case and of the emitter points are the only routine  
maintenance procedures required.  
6.1 Cleaning the case: Wipe the case with a soft cloth moistened with water.  
If a stronger cleaning solution is required, mild detergent or alcohol may  
be used. Do not use solvents that will attack the plastic case.  
6.2 Cleaning the emitter points: The emitter points are located between the  
fan blades and the rear grill. A jet of clean, compressed air can be used  
to remove dirt on emitter points. If a more rigorous cleaning method is  
needed to remove particulate, clean the points with a cotton swab. Access  
to the points is available through the rear grill. Be careful not to damage  
the points during cleaning.  
7.0 Performance Verification  
The 3MBenchtop Air Ionizer 963E is factory adjusted to provide optimum  
performance. Further adjustment in the field is not possible. However, the  
following instructions can be followed to determine whether the Ionizer is  
performing to specification. The testing follows the procedure outlined in the  
standard for Ionization, ANSI/ ESD STM3.1. Please refer to this standard for  
more complete information.  
7.1 Equipment Needed  
3MCharge Analyzer 711 or equivalent charge plate monitor (CPM). If  
an alternate CPM is used, please refer to its Operating Manual for details  
on how to perform the following instructions.  
7.2 Static Discharge Time  
The Ionizer 963E will reduce the charge on the 6 in. x 6 in. square  
isolated metal plate on the CPM from 1000V to 100V in less than 2  
seconds (high fan speed). The metal plate for the CPM must be located  
at a distance of one foot (30 cm) from the ionizer and centered in the air  
stream.

7.21 Attach the flat plate electrode to the 3MCharge Analyzer 711.  
Refer to the owners manual for the Analyzer 711 for complete  
operating instructions.  
7.22 Place the Analyzer 711 on its side allowing for viewing of the  
display. Position the Analyzer 711 so that the plate is parallel to  
the ionizer at a distance of one foot. The plate of the Analyzer 711  
should be centered (up & down, left & right) in the air stream. It  
may be necessary to raise the ionizer from the surface to allow for  
centering on the Analyzer 711 charge plate. If so, use a block of  
appropriate height to elevate the Analyzer 711. Please note that the  
plate must be kept totally isolated from ground and that the edge of  
the plate should be raised up a minimum distance of 3 in. from the  
work surface. Reference ANSI/ESD-STM3.1.  
7.23 Turn on the ionizer at high speed and allow it to run for five  
minutes.  
7.24 Charge the plate positive as described in the Analyzer 711  
operating instructions for “Static Decay Time” mode. Observe the  
discharge time indicated on the Analyzer 711. Repeat this step for  
negative polarity.  
7.3 Ion Balance  
The ionized air blower will stay within an offset voltage of +/-30 volts  
(max. deviation from zero) at a distance of one foot, when measured  
using the following procedure.  
7.31 Position the ionizer and CPM as stated above in Section 7.22.  
7.32 Turn on the ionizer at high speed and allow it to run for five  
minutes.  
7.33 Use a ground wire to ground the charge plate of the Analyzer 711.  
This will remove any/all residual charge present on the charge  
plate. If the CPM does not zero, adjust the zero control.  
7.34 Remove the ground wire and observe the display on the Analyzer  
711. The voltage (either ) observed during this time is the  
“offset voltage” and is a measure of instantaneous ion imbalances  
produced by the ionizer.
