  • Page 4: Preface

    Preface This manual describes the installation and usage of the CM5. Any mention of a generator elsewhere in this user manual refers to the CM5. Charging bars and charging electrodes are referred to in this user manual as charging electrodes.

  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction The CM5 is a high voltage generator that is used to supply SIMCO charging bars/electrodes with a high voltage. This combination is called the CM5 electrostatic charging system. It is used to bond materials temporarily. The generator can either be operated manually or remotely (analogue or digital). Due to the digital bus the generator can be used in a serial network.

  • Page 6: Operating Modes

    2.1 Operating modes The generator has a number of different operating modes:  Local mode The high voltage or output current of the generator is set using the keyboard.  Remote mode The high voltage or output current of the generator is set and read via external analogue control signals.

  • Page 7: Menu

    Operation in Current Control mode When the generator is operating in the CC mode, the desired current is set on the generator. The generator now maintains the set current and adjusts this with a higher or lower output voltage. This method of control results in a constant ion current, or constant charging.

  • Page 8: Safety

    - Keep the generator free of dirt, dust and moisture in order to ensure its safe operation. - High voltages are dangerous, especially for people with a pacemaker. - Do not use the CM5 in an environment where there is a risk of fire or explosion. - Do not expose the CM5 to vibrations and knocks.
