ITW Simco-Ion IQ Easy Sensor Bar Installation And Operating Instructions Manual 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. In either case, the sensor will appear as a tab on the neutralizer
device page on the Control Station Display.
Mounting Distance: A user entered dimension, the spacing between the face of the
sensor bar and web (surface being measured). The factory default mounting distance
is 4" (100 mm).
NOTE – This information (Mounting Distance) MUST be correct. It is
used by the sensor bar for calibration. If this information is not correct, the
sensor bar calibration will be incorrect.
Voltage Range: The voltage range is the maximum (both positive and negative)
that the sensor bar is capable of measuring. The voltage range is determined by
the mounting distance. As the mounting distances increase, the voltage range also
increases.
Sensor Mode: Two sensor modes are available, Neutralizing and Charging.
The Neutralizing Mode triggers the Warning and Alarm on rising voltage, indicating
excess static electricity. This indicates a static neutralizing bar is not effectively
neutralizing static electricity.
The Charging Mode triggers the Warning and Alarm on falling voltage, indicating
a lack of static electricity. This indicates static charging equipment is not effectively
electrostatically charging material.
The default Sensor Mode setting is Neutralizing.
Warning Setpoint: The web voltage level at which the sensor bar will set a "Warning"
and illuminate the yellow indicator light on the end of the bar. In the Neutralizing
(default) Sensor Mode, the Warning triggers on rising voltage (indicated by ">"),
i.e., the Warning triggers when voltage rises above the Warning Setpoint. In the
Charging Sensor Mode, the Warning triggers on falling voltage (indicated by "<"),
i.e., the Warning triggers when voltage falls below the Warning Setpoint. The
factory default value is 5 kV, however this value may be user adjusted.
Alarm Setpoint: The web voltage level at which the sensor bar will set an "Alarm"
and illuminate the red indicator light on the end of the bar. In the Neutralizing
(default) Sensor Mode, the Alarm triggers on rising voltage (indicated by ">"), i.e.,
the Alarm triggers when voltage rises above the Alarm setpoint. In the Charging
Sensor Mode, the Alarm triggers on falling voltage (indicated by "<"), i.e., the Alarm
triggers when voltage falls below the Alarm Setpoint. The factory default value is
20 kV, however this value may be user adjusted.
