The bars are operated with the appropriate high voltage generators sup- plied by Eltex. These can be adjusted to match the different active lengths of the bars and so allow optimized operation. To avoid any risk of personal injury or damage to property, please read these operating instructions carefully before starting the bars.

The variety of charging bars available differs essentially in their installation lengths and in the connec- tion of the high voltage cable. Both the installation length and the variable active length of a charging bar allow the units to be adapted to the most varied applications.
The R120 / R121A charging bars may only be operated with the accom- panying Eltex high voltage generators (see chap. 8 Technical specifica- tions). These allow the flexible adaptation to the required high voltages and currents for different active bar lengths.
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 generator and disconnect the mains supply voltage (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page chapter 7...

• In applications with movable charging bar (e.g. film draw strips), attach the high voltage cables such that there is no cable movement in the connecting zone of the generator (see chapter 3.4 "Installation of the charging bar”, page 12). •...
2.4 Protection against contact 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 insur- ance association may have to be provided (e.g.
3. Installation and assembly 3.1 Length of the charging bar Depending on intended use, the total length of the charging bar may be selected within the range from 85 mm to 3,985 mm in steps of 15 mm each. The total length is made up of active length plus 70 mm. Another 100 mm (approx.) must be provided for plugs and bending radius of the cable.

The installation profile of the charging bar has a fluting. The sliding nuts are pushed into this fluting, and the charging bar is bolted to these sliding nuts. Caution! Observe the bolt depth! M 5 ( 3 Fig. 5: Assembly details A Charging bar profile with one fluting B Profile section Max.
3.5 Connecting the high voltage cable to the KNH18, KNH34 / KNH64, KNH35 / KNH65 generators, to the KNHV3 / KNHV6 distributor box and to the charging bar R121A The connection of the high voltage cable of the charging bars to the KNH18, KNH34 / KNH35 or KNH64 / KNH65 high voltage generators with max.
Caution! The high voltage cable must be pushed up to the stop (90 mm for KNH18, KNH34 / KNH35 and 120 mm for KNH64 / KNH65) into the cable inlet! The connecting area of the high voltage cable must be kept clean! 3.6 Connecting the high voltage cable of the charging bar to the high voltage generator POWER CHARGER PCSC Warning!
3.7 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 standstill because the bars pick up charges if the substrate web is running. Take off the clip at the KNH_ _ generators, the KNHV_ distributor boxes and/or the R121A bar, using a 3 mm screw driver.
4. Operation 4.1 Operating voltage The charging bar is operated with high voltage between 5...15 kV, with adequate insulation with up to 60 kV. Make sure that the correct distance between the charging bar and the substrate surface is maintained. With an operating voltage of 15 kV, the minimum distance should be 10 mm.
4.4 Function control Use the Eltex Volt Stick or a glow-lamp voltage tester to check the proper function of the emission tips. Quote Article No. 109136 when ordering the Volt Stick from Eltex.
5. Maintenance Warning! Electric shock hazard! • Switch off the generator and disconnect the supply voltage before carrying out any maintenance or repair work. • The machine which has the units fitted must not be in operation. • The bars passively absorb energy from the moving substrate web. The high voltage cable must be plugged in or grounded to the generator.

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! • Switch off the generator and disconnect the supply voltage before carrying out any maintenance or repair work. • The machine which has the units fitted must not be in operation. • Repairs and maintenance work must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
