Description
Ionizing Air Gun Model IN6430
The Model IN6430 68KHz AC ionizing air gun effectively removes particle contamination, even on static sensitive components The IN6430 easily connects to a compressed air source and is compact and lightweight. Using
AC corona technology to make the air more conductive,
Ptec™ ionizers produce a balanced stream of positive and
negative air ions that never need calibration. The controller connects to a clean dry air or nitrogen source and an
integrated disposable filter collects particles. The gun and
air hose are lightweight and easy to use.
About Ptec™ Technology
A specialized piezoelectric high voltage transformer
makes Ptec™ ionizers among the most reliable products
available. Ptec™ ionizers are designed to remain in bal-
ance and to alarm when the HV output affects performance. The model IN6430 ionizing air nozzle produces a
68KHz AC output of approximately 2200V and a continu-
ous stream of balanced air ions. Ionizers that use Ptec™
technology do not require calibration and only minimal
maintenance.
Features
On the gun of the IN6430 are two LEDs. The green
LED indicates that power is applied to the Ptec™ HV
transformers The red LED illuminates when an alarm condition occurs. An on-off switch is provided on the controller
as well as a 100—240vac IEC input.

Power Requirements
The Model IN6430 High Frequency AC ionizing air nozzle is internally powered by a DC switching power supply
that operates from 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz IEC input. The
output of the supply is +24 VDC @ .5 AMP. Note: Ionizer
must be grounded.
Operation and Use
Environmental Conditions
The IN6430 can be operated in areas where humidity
is 20-70% RH (Non-condensing). Excess humidity may affect ionizer performance. The temperature range for the
IN6430 is 65-78°F (18-25°C).
Set-up and Placement
Choose a location convenient to the work area and the air
supply. Determine if you will use the product with or without
an internal filter and attach the appropriate connector to the
hose assembly.

Mounting
No equipment or tools are necessary, except for
permanent mounting and air line. A permanent mounting
bracket, with screws for the controller, is included. See
mounting instructions.
Caution
!
Do not use this ionizer in an explosive environment! Corona ionizers produce a weak plasma
that can cause ignition in explosive environments.
Power and Gas Connection
Attach the IN6430 gun assembly to the controller. Af-
ter mounting the controller, attach the gas line. The
IN6430 comes with a 1/4” interchange connector and
alternative 1/4” quick release connector. Adjust oper-
ating pressure as required to maximum 75 psi.
Caution
!
Connect the IEC power cord to the controller and
plug it in an AC socket.
The IN6430 operates only with clean dry air
(CDA) or nitrogen (N2). Operator must provide
clean and filtered incoming gas to adequately
remove moisture, oil and particles from the
source supply.
Caution
!
Make certain the outlet is grounded.
Turn the unit on and depress the trigger to start the
airflow and the corona process. The ionizer creates a
The IN6430 is not designed to withstand high
air pressure. The product should be installed
with shutoff valve upstream. The output side of
the nozzle should always be at atmospheric preseure.
