1. SAFETY WARNINGS Simco-Ion recommends that these instructions be read completely before installation or operation is attempted. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. This instruction manual uses symbols to identify dangerous situations as follows: NOTE –... -
Page 4: Description
2. DESCRIPTION The IQ Easy Sensor Bar is an electrostatic field measuring device packaged with a form-factor similar to a typical static neutralizing bar. This makes the IQ Easy Sensor Bar suitable for use in plastic film and web processing applications. It can monitor processed materials for the presence, polarity and degree of electrostatic charges. - Page 5 Static sensors are typically located at regular intervals along the length of the bar. With this multi-segment static sensor arraignment, the IQ Easy Sensor Bar provides a resolution in static measurement previously unavailable. The sensors themselves use field chopping technology to provide accurate and long term stability of static field measurement.

Page 10: Electrical Connections
Electrical Connections NOTE – Turn line voltage power off at IQ Power Control Station before connecting / disconnecting any devices. This is to avoid potential equipment failure and ensure proper digital communication. The IQ Easy Sensor Bar may be connected directly to the Control Station or the Sensor Bar may be connected in conjunction with BPS static neutralizing power supply. - Page 11 Figure 5: IQ Power Connections (Sensor Bar to Control Station through BPS Power Supply) IQ Easy Sensor Bar 5201226 Rev.

Page 16: Purge Gas (Recommended)
Purge Gas (recommended) NOTE – Purge gas or compressed air used with this device MUST be clean and dry. Dirt, water or oil in the purge gas will damage the sensors. In dirty or dusty environments low pressure purge gas may be used to prevent the sensors from becoming fouled with debris. - Page 17 Paired Bar: The specific static neutralizing bar used with a sensor bar in closed-loop feedback (CLFB) mode. The static neutralizing bar MUST be upstream (before) the sensor bar. Pairing is controlled by connection to “PS COMM 2” on a BPS power supply or by matching the sensor bar address to an IQ Easy static neutralizing bar or Fantom ionizing blower.

Page 19: Operation
5. OPERATION The operation of the sensor bar is controlled through the IQ Power Control Station. In operation, a device icon appears on the IQ Power Control Station, a tab appears on the neutralizer page when the sensor is paired with the neutralizer. Tapping on the device icon / tab for the sensor bar enters a series of pages containing information about that sensor bar. -
Page 20: Maintenance
6. MAINTENANCE NOTE – Turn off power to sensor bar before performing any maintenance. Do not disconnect sensor bar if charged materials are present. Cleaning Clean the sensor bar using a lint-free wiper moistened (but not saturated) with isopropyl alcohol. Use caution around the sensor modules and avoid contact with the sensor aperture. -
