2. Safety
- The Simco HP-N-Ex Aerostat®is only intended for neutralizing electro statically charged
parts and/or surfaces.
- When used in potentially explosion hazardous environments: only use the HP-N-Ex
Aerostat®when the zone classification allows to use equipment as classified through the
marking on the 3 labels on the H-P-N-Ex (classification on page 1 only for reference).
Check the conditions for safe use in the ATEX certificate(s).
- Electrical installation shall be performed by a skilled electrical engineer.
- Make sure that the equipment is properly earthed.
Earthing is needed to ensure proper operation and to avoid electrical shocks upon contact.

used for repairs,CE approval and Ex classification for the equipment will be withdrawn and
the equipment will no longer be under guarantee.
3. Use and operation
The Simco HP-N-Ex Aerostat®is used to neutralize electro statically charged products and/or
surfaces, also at longer distances (1.5 m max.). The ionizing air blower consists of a motor, a
radial fan and an anti-static bar. The ambient air is drawn on one side and blown off along the
anti-static bar. The power unit is integrated in the anti-static bar.
The blower produces an air flow which is rich on positive and negative ions.
When this air flow is pointed to an electrostatically charged product or surface, electrons will be
exchanged. This causes the product or material to be neutralized. The effective ionizing width
is 380-580 mm.
The HP-N-Ex Aerostat®is suited for use in a potentially explosion hazardous environment,
check that the zone where the equipment is going to be used complies with the equipment class.
