CAUTION – Electric Shock Hazard Electrical installation and repairs must be performed by a skilled electrical engineer according to the applicable national and local regulations. The equipment must be properly grounded. Grounding is required to ensure safe and proper operation and to prevent electrical shocks upon contact. AVERTISSEMENT–...
2. DESCRIPTION Simco-Ion’s IQ Power Fantom Wide Blower is a highly reliable, extended-range ionizing air blower designed for static elimination in many industrial applications. Its high power fan covers a large area with balanced ionization for rapid static neutralization. The Fantom is a self-contained unit that includes variable speed fan control and closed-loop ion output and ion balance control.
4. INSTALLATION Position and Mounting For maximum effectiveness, position the Fantom Wide Blower as close as possible to the charged surface to be neutralized. Direct the air stream longitudinally, and in the same direction as, the target material movement to maximize the time the charged surface remains in the air stream.
CAUTION – Electric Shock Hazard Electrical installation and repairs must be performed by a skilled electrical engineer according to the applicable national and local regulations. The equipment must be properly grounded. Grounding is required to ensure safe and proper operation and to prevent electrical shocks upon contact. AVERTISSEMENT–...

The relay contacts are rated for a maximum of 1 amp at 24 volts, with a resistive load. Figure 2. User Interface Relay Output (Typical Indicator Schematic) Figure 3. User Interface Relay Output (Typical Light Tree Schematic) In a typical indicator or light tree application: •...
Figure 5. User Interface Point Cleaner (Schematic) A momentary application of +5 to +24 volts DC to terminal 5 (terminal 7 being the return, 0 volts) will activate an automatic point cleaning cycle. If the blower fan is operating (unit not in standby), the fan will be de-energized and allowed to come to a stop (approximately 4 seconds).
Figure 7. IQ Power Crossover Modular Cable (black) Connection with a Control Station allows two-way digital communication with the Fantom Wide Blower. The Control Station is able to display a variety of operating parameters and settings in the Fantom Wide Blower. If a Control Station is connected to the Fantom, but the Fantom is not powered or turned off, the Control Station will still be able to display the fixed settings in the Fantom Wide Blower.

Set-Up If the Fantom Wide Blower is operating free standing (without connection to a Control Station) set up is simply adjusting the air flow on target and adjusting the blower fan speed if necessary. When connected to a Control Station, a variety of information can be checked and operating parameters may be set for the Fantom.

Paired Sensor: The specific sensor bar to be used with this ionizing blower for closed loop feedback control. The default is “none”; a specific sensor bar must be selected to enable closed loop feedback control. The specific sensor bar is selected by choosing its “device name”.
5. OPERATION Turn unit on with main power switch, located adjacent to the line cord. After the Fantom goes through an automatic point cleaning cycle, it will begin operating. The fan speed may be adjusted with the fan speed adjustment knob. Use the highest airspeed the application allows.
Fault • A steady red Fault indicates the internal monitoring and control circuits have exceeded limits for normal operation (the unit is no longer in closed- loop control). • A steady red Fault light may also indicate a failure of a high voltage power supply or control circuitry.
6. MAINTENANCE Ionizing Emitter Points 1. Dust or dirt on the ionization points will reduce effectiveness of the blower. Ionization points must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from accumulating. 2. Simply turn OFF and back ON. The automatic point cleaner will cycle three times to clean the ionizing points.
4. Handle the ionizing module with care. The ion emitters are sharp pins that present a puncture hazard. 5. Dirt and debris may be brushed or vacuumed from the ionizing module, or the ionizing module may be replaced. 6. To install the ionizing module, line the Point Cleaner hole with the point cleaner button and insert module into unit.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE – Only qualified service personnel are to perform troubleshooting tasks. CAUTION – Electric Shock Hazard Do not troubleshoot high voltage components with power supply energized. Disconnect input power before troubleshooting. Troubleshooting must be performed by a qualified service person. ATTENTION –...
