Simco-Ion’s Model 5511, along with digital controllers Model 5580 or 5520, are designed to provide uniform ionization throughout the entire cleanroom area.. The system enables either centralized control of individual emitters through bi-directional communication between the Model 5511 and 5580/5520 controllers, or direct field programmability of the ceiling emitters with the Model 5570 handheld infrared (IR) remote control.

Digital technology allows the flexibility to control and address the operational settings of the Model 5511 system including alarm sensitivity, ion output (down to percentage levels), ion pulse timing, and polling frequency. The Model 5511 offers flexible settings to fit any environment—any specification. 

The 5511 digital ceiling emitter system has specifically proved its success in addressing Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) regarding contamination control by the FDA. In addition to a reduction in yield losses, the 5511 can improve the quality and safety of products produced by life science (medical device, pharmaceutical and biotech) manufacturers. The 5511 ceiling emitter system can be the solution in meeting the FDA’s Quality System Requirement for contamination control.

Simco-Ion design for maintaining stable ion current flow despite fluctuating environmental conditions, point erosion and point "aglomeration" (+HVPS Alarm - level set at factory).

Advanced Feedback Technology
The Model 5511 enhanced ion emitters provide an unprecedented level of control and protection, using a Self-Regulating Air Ionizing Apparatus sensing method. This feedback system assures the tightest feedback control available, unique in offering sensing, feedback and alarm capabilities at every emitter point in the system.

Simco-Ion uses a proprietary feedback circuit in the Model 5511 emitter. Each emitter has sensing circuits that accurately monitor the ion emission current from both the positive and negative emitter points. These circuits produce a signal proportional to the total ion production at each emitter point.

By monitoring and controlling every point of emission, the ionization system is able to consistently deliver highly accurate ion levels throughout an entire area. Each emitter can be fine-tuned to its local ionization requirements.
