Dear customer The R23ATR point charging bar is a robust bar for the point or edge charg- ing of non-conductive surfaces. The charging bar is used wherever static electrical charges may be used beneficially in production processes, e.g. in edge fixation during film production. The point charging bar is mounted directly behind the flat film of the extruder.

The R23ATR point charging bar may only be operated with the Eltex high voltage generators up to maximum 30 kV DC, the R23ATR11 up to maxi- mum 60 kV DC depending on the design.
2.3 Work and operational safety Warning! Electric shock hazard! Carefully observe the following notes and the complete chapter 2 "Safety”, page • Before carrying out repairs, cleaning or maintenance work and before resetting after malfunctions, switch off the power supply and disconnect the mains supply voltage (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page chap-...

• The high voltage cable is connected to the bar via a plug. Work on the male connector must be carried out under offload conditions (see chap- ter 3.3.2 "Version with detachable cable connection”, page 16). • The high voltage cable must be pushed up to the stop (90 mm for KNH34/KNH35 and 120 mm for KNH64/KNH65) into the cable inlet! The connec-ting area of the high voltage cable must be kept clean (see chapter 3.4 "Connecting the high voltage cable of the charging bar to...
2.4 Contact protection The site of installation and/or use of the units is outside the control of Eltex, contact protection against inadvertent contact of the bars and of live components by personnel as specified by the employer’s liability insu- rance association may have to be provided (e.g. DGUV V3 in Germany).
3. Installation and assembly 3.1 Installation of the point charging bar Attach the charging bar to the machine via a holder made of non conduc- tive material. The Fig. 10 shows a possible assembly configuration. The charging bar may be installed either horizontally or vertically. Use only non-conductive material (e.g.
3.2 Distance of the emission tips from the material web The optimum distance a to the substrate is 20...40 mm with an operating voltage of 15...25 kV. In edge tacking to prevent neck-in, a distance of 10 mm with a maximum operating voltage of 20 kV is also permitted (see Fig.
3.3 High voltage cable of the charging bar 3.3.1 Version with fixed high voltage cable Using the type R23ATR and type R23ATR11 point charging bar in connec- tion with the charging generator POWER CHARGER PCSC, only the ver- sion with a fixed high voltage cable is permitted. 3.3.2 Version with detachable cable connection The high voltage cable is connected to the bar via a plug.
3.4 Connecting the high voltage cable of the charging bar to the high voltage generators KNH34 / KNH64, KNH35 / KNH65 Warning! Electric shock hazard! Work may be carried out only if: • the supply voltage to the generator has been disconnected, •...
3.5 Connecting the high voltage cable of the charging bar to the high voltage generator POWER CHARGER PCSC Warning! Electric shock hazard! Work may be carried out only if: • the supply voltage to the generator has been disconnected, • the machine is at a standstill because the bars pick up charges if the material web is running.
3.6 Disconnecting the high voltage cable Warning! Electric shock hazard! Work may be carried out only if: • the supply voltage to the generator has been disconnected, • the machine is at a standstill because the bars pick up charges if the material web is running.
4. Operation 4.1 Setting the operating voltage The operating voltage on the high voltage generator is set at between 15 and 25 kV depending on the distance "a" of the emission tips from the substrate. The correct operating voltage is set as soon as the desired effect is achieved by using the charging bar.
The inspection intervals are specified in the accident prevention regulations, as amended (e.g. in Germany DGUV V3). Eltex recommend inspection intervals of 6 months. The function of the series resistors must be checked using a suitable measuring device.
The warranty applies only if the operating and assembly instructions spe- cified by Eltex have been observed. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery. In the event of defects occurring during the warranty period, the units or defective components will be repaired at Eltex.
7. Troubleshooting Warning! Electric shock hazard! • Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work without first switching off the high voltage and disconnecting the supply voltage. • Before carrying out any work involving the units, the machine which has the units fitted must not be in operation.
