Operation; Indicator Lights - ITW Simco-Ion IQ Easy Sensor Bar Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

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. This includes descriptive information such as the device name,
quantity of sensor segments, and firmware revision levels. User inputs such as the
sensor bar mounting distance (critical for correct calibration), device name, selection
of sensor modules for CLFB, warning and alarm setpoints are available. Output
information includes average voltage for all sensors and voltage for individual sensor
modules. Warning and alarm outputs are also included in these pages. Additional
features may be available.

Indicator Lights

Three indicator lights are located on the connector end of the sensor bar: green,
yellow and red.
Green
• A steady green light indicates the sensor bar is powered and active.
• A rapidly flashing green indicator light indicates the bar has received a
command. The rapid flashing only lasts for several seconds.
Yellow
• A steady yellow light indicates the user adjustable web voltage warning
setpoint is being exceeded. This is a non-latching feature; the indicator
light will go out when web voltage resumes acceptable levels.
Red
• A steady red light indicates the user adjustable web voltage alarm setpoint
is being exceeded. This is a non-latching feature; the indicator light will go
out when web voltage resumes acceptable levels.
• A blinking red indicator light indicates an internal failure of the sensor bar.
Sensor Mode
Selection of the Sensor Mode is available through the IQ Power Control Station.
The default Sensor Mode setting is "Neutralizing" for applications where the sensor
bar is use in typical static eliminating applications.
For applications where the sensor bar is being used with electrostatic charging
equipment, it will be necessary to manually set the Sensor Mode, through the
Control Station, to "Charging".
This adjustment is required to obtain the proper function of the Warning and Alarm
indicators & outputs.
