PerforMAX® IQ
Static Neutralizing System
SIMCO s PerforMAX IQ is an intelligent air ionization system that
enables the user to be in charge of static electricity. It is designed to
efficiently neutralize electrostatic charges on films, paper, non-wovens
and fabric in web or sheet form. Due to its high output and range, the
PerforMAX IQ is also ideal for applications such as blow molding and
injection molding.

  • Page 17 A. Determine location for mounting the static bar. The static bar will typically be located just ahead of where problems due to static are occurring. A static audit by a SIMCO representative can determine the best location for the static bar.
  • Page 18 Operating at a greater range of distances makes distance bars best suited for areas such as material roll wind-up applications. Distance bars can be identified by an ion emitter to emitter spacing of 180mm [7.09 inches]. PerforMAX bars should NOT be installed or operated at distances less than the minimum distance specified for the particular bar.
  • Page 19 Typically the probe will be located 0.3 meters (12 inches) or greater distance from the static bar. If multiple static bars are used in the PerforMAX IQ system with web monitor, the bars must be used on the same web. In these cases, the probe must be located downstream of the last static bar in the system.
  • Page 20 The free area between the probe and web should have approximately equal height and width. There should be NO grounded metal immediately beneath the web on the far side from the probe. See Web Monitor Probe Installation diagram. E. The PerforMAX web monitor probe includes perforated strips and assorted hardware.
  • Page 21 B. Connect power supply alarm output (if used). The power supply Alarm Output is a standard DB25 pin connector located on the end of the PerforMAX IQ power supply. A recommend max distance of 3 meters [10 feet] or less is suggested.
  • Page 22 Output connector pins as specified in the Power Supply Alarm Output Connections diagram. The user applied 24 VDC drives a low current optoisolator on the PerforMAX IQ power supply main circuit board, turning the power supply on or off, depending on the configuration of jumper J3.
  • Page 23 C. Ground web monitor by connecting ground lead between ground terminal on mounting flange of unit case and a good electrical machine ground. Connect web monitor (if used). Use the 2.13 meter [7 foot] (black) modular cable supplied with unit. A longer cable (not supplied) may be used.
  • Page 24 E. Connect web monitor remote output (if used). The web monitor Remote is a standard DB9 pin connector located on the end of the PerforMAX IQ web monitor. The web monitor remote output provides a relay contact output for the web monitor alarm.
  • Page 25 . The data buss allows one PerforMAX IQ computer communication module to serve multiple PerforMAX IQ power supplies and feed the data from all power supplies into the network. A total of 12 power supplies may be chained together on one data buss.
  • Page 26: Section 6: Operation

    PerforMAX IQ system, user supplied 24VDC power may be applied two ways. The Power In connector on the end panel of the PerforMAX IQ power supply may be used to supply power to the system. This connector requires the use of a Switchcraft 760K barrel type power plug.
  • Page 27 Sensor: Lights (orange) to indicate if a web monitor is connected to the system and active. When this indicator is lit, the system is in closed-loop feedback and the web monitor is controlling the balance of ionization. Bar On: Lights (green) when static neutralizing bar is active. Fault: Lights (red) to indicate faulty condition of static bar, power supply or high voltage connections.
  • Page 28 G. If the system is new, perform an Initial Calibration. The initial calibration sets the relative nominal ion output for the system. The initial calibration should only be performed on PerforMAX IQ systems that are new or just cleaned and known to be in proper working order.
  • Page 29 During initial calibration the system output will be cycled and the output indicator will sweep through its range several times. This will occur twice, and then the indicators will settle to display the system status. The indicated ion output will be high. The initial calibration sequence takes less than one minute.
  • Page 30 Power Supply Number Table Power Clean Distance Hybrid Speed Supply Mode Mode Mode Number LED off = 0. LED on = 1. Adjusting the Power Supply number is typically a one time operation performed during the set-up of systems with multiple Power Supplies and a Communication Module.
  • Page 31 If no sensor is connected, it will display no sensor . D. The web static charge value is used by the PerforMAX IQ power supply to provide closed-loop feedback. The power supply adjusts its operation to null the web static charge value, neutralizing the static charge.
  • Page 32 Used for Feedback? (default: yes) Allows setting sensor feedback status (YES/NO). Sensors with a feedback status of YES are used by the PerforMAX IQ power supply for closed loop feedback control of ionization. Sensors with a feedback status of NO provide a web voltage value for monitoring only.

Communication modules without Anybus are supplied with PerforMAX IQ interface software for a personal computer and the software user manual (5200993). See B&B Electronics Manufacturing (www.bb-elec.com) for more information specific to the USB adapter.
