Carefully remove equipment from the carton and inspect the contents. NOTE – If any damage has occurred during shipment, notify the local carrier at once. A report should also be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road, Hatfield PA 19440. See Section 9 (Warranty) for Return Shipment information. - Page 8 c) Attach two mounting brackets, (see Figure 2), to the VCM with M4 x 8 screws (provided in kit). Use mounting bracket as a template to mark the two mounting hole locations. Drill two 0.201” diameter clearance holes at marked locations. f) Position mounting bracket’s screw holes directly above drilled holes.
- Page 9 Connecting a Chargemaster HV Power Supply to a bar or applicator not manufactured by Simco-Ion for use with that model of power supply, without the written permission of Simco-Ion, will void the power supply’s warranty. A TETRA Charging Bar (see Figure 3) will be used in this manual for purposes of illustrating the three most common installation options for charging bars and applicators.
- Page 10 Option 1 – Charging Bar with Grounded Surface This application illustrates the use of a TETRA bar facing a grounded surface. The material to be charged should rest on the grounded surface. In the example shown in Figure 4, the charging bar is located facing an empty core in a roll- to-roll changeover application.
- Page 11 Chargemaster VCM Power Supplies are designed to power the approved Simco-Ion charging bars Figure 7 applicators identified in Section 4. The Remote On/Off function should be used to cycle the power supply On and Off whenever possible.
