The Desco 60509 Ionizer Motion Sensor is designed to automatically activate an ionizer when an operator is present at a workstation and turn it off when the workstation is vacant. This product ensures that the ionizer is activated when required. It also conserves energy and increases maintenance intervals of the ionizer by deactivating it when the workstation is vacant. The Control Unit is capable of switching up to 5 amps at 120VAC and is fuse protected.
The Ionizer Motion Sensor consists of two components: the Sensor Unit and Control Unit. The control unit connects between the AC power cord and the ionizer power input using standard IEC type (C13/C14) connectors. The sensor unit is placed in a position to “detect” an operator up to three feet away. The sensitivity levels can be adjusted to: low (12 inches), medium (24 inches), or high (36 inches). The Sensor Unit should be mounted flush with the front edge of the mounting surface whenever possible. This is done to prevent reflected light from the mounting surface. The two components communicate using a standard 6-pin modular cable.
The Ionizer Motion Sensor utilizes a unique infrared light and band pass filter to prevent interference from other light sources. The band pass filter uses a reflected infrared light with a specific frequency to sense the presence of the operator. It does not require continuous motion to remain activated. The deactivation delay time can be set to 1 minute, 10 minutes or 1 hour periods. This delay prevents the ionizer from turning on and off frequently if an operator is only away from the workstation momentarily.
