The Desco 19595 Viper Handheld Ion Gun is a point-of-use ionizer used for neutralizing electrostatic charges to eliminate attraction, visual imperfections and contamination issues by dislodging charged dust and debris. It uses compressed clean dry air (CDA), or a special nozzle (19596) may be purchased separately for use with nitrogen. Fast discharge times with ±15 volt offset voltage meet the required limits of ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ESD TR53. A high frequency piezo AC power supply is located on the inside of hand piece to maintain consistent ionization performance with longer hose lengths (standard 6' hose included) and eliminate the need for a remote console. The light weight of the Viper Ion Gun (less than .5 pound) allows for comfortable extended use by operators. The 19595 is designed with slotted tips to meet the OSHA requirement for pressure relief. A green LED on the back of the hand piece illuminates when the trigger is depressed to indicate that the gun is outputting ionized air. A red LED indicates abnormal output. Normal power consumption is approximately 2.5 Watts.
