1. SAFETY WARNINGS NOTE – Statements Identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary to avoid potential equipment failure. CAUTION – Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential safety hazards. 1. This equipment must be correctly installed and properly maintained. Adhere to the following cautions for safe installation and operation.
2. DESCRIPTION Simco-Ion’s Dual Phase+ Power Supply is designed to power Simco-Ion’s Conveyostat and High Speed Web Bar Static Neutralizers. The Dual Phase+ Power Supply is capable of producing bipolar high voltage currents used to generate both positive and negative ions in extremely high quantities. This allows the neutralization of static charges on products moving at high speeds.
Mounting and Grounding CAUTION – Failure to properly ground the power unit may result in electrical shock hazard to personnel and inefficient operation of the static neutralizer. 1. Mount the power unit to the machine frame or to a convenient wall or post. Mount the power unit to a flat surface using the mounting flanges at the base of the power unit.
Figure 2. High Voltage Wiring to Static Neutralizer SIMCO-ION Figure 3. Low Voltage Wiring to Electrical Supply High Voltage Connections 1. Make certain the power is OFF. 2. Open the door to the Power Unit. 3. Feed the high voltage cables through the grey bushings on the bottom side of the box (see Figures 2&3 above).
4. Cut the high voltage cable to the desired length. Be sure to allow additional length to reach the high voltage output terminal blocks inside the power unit’s case. 5. Strip 3/8” insulation from the end of the high voltage cable and insert the cable through a straight-through fitting.
The Dual Phase+ indicates a fault condition with a flashing red light. The flashing red light indicates that a hard arc has been detected by the system. For safety the high voltage generators of the Dual Phase+ are shut down under this condition. To correct this condition it is required to inspect the connected Conveyostat for wiring faults or other short circuit conditions in the high voltage wiring.
The Warning state of the Dual Phase+ is indicated on the Warning pins of the remote interface. The relay contacts change with the illumination of the Yellow warning light on the front of the unit. It is normal for the warning condition to be intermitted, if the warning indication is continuous servicing the connect Conveyostat should be completed.
Figure 5b. Remote Interface Wiring Connections An optional remote box is available. This box interfaces to the remote interface of the dual phase and allows the unit to be powered and monitored remotely. This can be beneficial to the installation by allowing the Dual Phase+ to be located close to the Conveyostat thereby shortening the required high voltage wiring to a minimum.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING 1. For safety and proper operation, Simco-Ion’s static neutralizers must be connected to Simco-Ion power supplies as supplied by the factory to operate. Standard line voltage is converted to an output of approximately 4000 volts AC. In the event of a direct short circuit to ground at the output of power, the output current is limited to a maximum of 5 mA.
