    2. DESCRIPTION Simco-Ion’s Arc Resistant Charging Bars are part of the Chargemaster Electrostatic Generating System. These bars are energized with Simco-Ion Chargemaster VCM30, CM20, MCM30 DC power supplies that provide the necessary high voltage that is current limited for safety. This system is used to produce electrostatic adhesion for temporarily bonding or pinning materials.

    5. INSTALLATION Unpacking Carefully remove equipment from the carton and inspect the contents. NOTE: If any damage has occurred during shipment, notify the local carrier at once. A report should also be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road, Hatfield PA 19440. See Section 9 (Warranty) for Return Shipment information. Determining Pinner-LP Bar Location Although Simco-Ion’s Pinner-LP bars prevent hard arcs from occurring, the bars do exhibit a soft arcing that can be both useful in setting up the application and useful in...
  • Page 10 Option 1: Charging Bar with a Grounded Surface In Figure 1, the charging bar faces an empty core in a roll-to- roll changeover application. The empty core is mounted on a grounded metal shaft and a plastic film travels between the charging bar and the empty core.

    Option 3: Two Charging Bars In Figure 4, one charging bar faces another of opposite polarity in an application where decorative sheets are pinned to both sides of heavy particle board prior to laminating. As the materials move between the charging bars, the opposite polarity ions created by each bar are driven toward each other by an electric field formed between them.
  • Page 12 Determine the best location for the Pinner-LP Bar using the above applications for guidance. The Pinner-LP bar includes blue plastic mounting brackets, perforated metal strips and assorted hardware. Slide the mounting brackets onto the “T” channel on the back of the bar. The perforated strip may be installed on the mounting bracket at right angle to the bar or parallel to the bar.
  • Page 13: Installing High Voltage Cables

    Installing High Voltage Cables CAUTION! Electrical Shock Hazard Turn off power supply and lock out before connecting high voltage cable or servicing. Route the high voltage cables attached to each charging bar along the machine frame or wall to the power supply. Cable supports are used to guide the cables back to the power supply.

    6. OPERATION CAUTION! Electrical Shock Hazard Do not touch Charging Bar during operation. WARNING! Fire Hazard Do not operate equipment in close proximity to any flammable solvents or flammable materials. Before energizing any power supply: • Ensure that all power supplies are properly grounded. •...
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    7. MAINTENANCE NOTE: Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks. CAUTION! Electrical Shock Hazard De-energize all power supplies and lock out, if possible, before performing any maintenance tasks. Cleaning Emitter Pins Dust or dirt around the emitter pins will reduce the effectiveness of the Pinner-LP Bar. The bar must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from accumulating: De-energize all power supplies before performing any maintenance tasks.
  • Page 16: Troubleshooting Low Pinning Strength

    Troubleshooting Low Pinning Strength • If pinning strength is not adequate and the power supply is already at maximum output voltage, moving the bar closer to the target material can increase pinning strength. Reduce the bar-to-material distance until pinning strength is adequate. At this new distance, it may be necessary to adjust the operating voltage of the power supply.
