1. SAFETY WARNINGS NOTE – Statements Identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary to avoid potential equipment failure. WARNING – Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential safety hazards. This equipment must be correctly installed and properly maintained. Adhere to the following cautions for safe installation and operation.
2. INTRODUCTION NOTE – Simco-Ion recommends that these instructions be read completely before installation or operation of this equipment. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. The Simco-Ion Power Unit provides a high voltage output for powering various types of Simco-Ion static eliminating equipment.
4. INSTALLATION Mounting and Grounding of Power Unit The power unit is designed for flat surface mounting with mounting flanges at the base of the unit. The ambient temperature where power unit is located should not exceed 105°F (40°C). Proper grounding of power unit metallic enclosure is essential for safe and efficient operation of the equipment.
Input Line Voltage Connections The line cord must be connected to a power source of the correct voltage and frequency as listed on the nameplate. For power unit with 120 or 240 VAC operating voltage, the line cord is fitted with a plug. For power unit with a plug-less line cord, the following connections is required: N.
High Voltage Connections for Cable with Optional Stainless Steel Shielding Some static eliminating equipment is equipped with shielded high voltage cable and has a separate ground wire and must be connected to the ground terminal on the power unit. Insert the spring-loaded connector into the high voltage output terminal of the power unit and finger-tighten.
Removal of Shielded Cable from Power Unit Disconnect line voltage to power unit. Remove hex nut (item 3) and cable clamp (item 1). Loosen spring-loaded high voltage connector (item 11) and remove from high voltage output terminal of power unit. Remove set-screw (item 12) from the spring-loaded high voltage connector with a 5/64”...
Removal of Spring-Loaded High Voltage Connector Insert a 5/64” Allen wrench to remove set screw (item 4) from high voltage terminal. Proceed to remove spring-loaded high voltage connector (item 2, 3, 5, 6) from cable. Refer to Figure 2 for details. Power Units (All Potted Models) 52 00 09 5 Re v C...
5. OPERATION Before placing the static eliminating equipment into operation, make certain all connections including grounds have been completed as described in Section 2. Make certain the static eliminating equipment is properly installed. To operate the static eliminating equipment, apply line voltage to the power unit. For power unit equipped with an ON/OFF switch, place the switch to the ON position.
6. MAINTENANCE Under normal conditions, the power unit requires no periodic maintenance. The user may occasionally check to make certain all grounds and electrical connections are clean and tight. WARNING – Maintenance to be performed by qualified service personnel. WANUNG – Warlungsarbeiten dürfen nur von Elektrofachpersonal durchgeführt werden.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING If problems are encountered with operation of the static eliminating equipment, it is recommended that the user contact Simco-Ion for assistance. Since high voltage is present, it is important that troubleshooting and servicing be performed only by properly trained and qualified service personnel, familiar with handling high voltage equipment.
8. WARRANTY This product has been carefully tested at the factory and is warranted to be free from any defects in materials or workmanship. Simco-Ion will, under this warranty, repair or replace any equipment that proves, upon our examination, to have become defective within one year from the date of purchase.
