Transforming Technologies IN5130 Overhead Ionizer
Transforming Technologies IN5130 Overhead Ionizer
The Transforming Technologies IN5130 is an overhead ionizer designed for wide-area static neutralization from above the workstation or production area. Overhead mounting keeps the work surface completely clear of ionizer hardware while delivering ionized air across a broad coverage area — suited for workstations, production lines, and automated equipment where benchtop ionizers cannot provide adequate coverage or where bench space must remain unobstructed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the IN5130 and the BFN802LED/BFN803LED overhead ionizers?
The BFN802LED and BFN803LED are overhead ionizers with integrated LED task lighting — designed for workstation use where task illumination is also needed. The IN5130 is an overhead ionizer focused on wide-area ion coverage without integrated lighting — suited for production line, automated equipment, or overhead coverage applications where task lighting is not required from the ionizer unit.
What is the difference between an overhead ionizer and a benchtop ionizer?
An overhead ionizer mounts above the work area and delivers ionized air from above, keeping the bench clear and providing broader coverage. A benchtop ionizer sits on the workbench and blows ionized air from bench level. Choose overhead when bench space must remain clear, when wider area coverage is needed, or for production line and automated equipment applications.
Why do I need an ionizer if I already have ESD mats and wrist straps?
ESD mats and wrist straps ground conductors but cannot neutralize charges on insulators. An ionizer floods the work area with balanced ions to neutralize those charges. ANSI/ESD S20.20 requires ionization when insulators with voltages above the process voltage limit are present in the EPA.
How often does the IN5130 need maintenance?
AC ionizer emitter pins should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months depending on the environment to maintain ion balance and decay time performance.
