2. INTRODUCTION The MCM 30 is an adjustable output, DC electrostatic charging generator designed for use with a variety of Simco-Ion charging bars and charging applicators. Using the principles of static charge attraction, the units’ high voltage, fixed polarity output provides a method to temporarily pin or bond a variety of materials together.

Position 6 REMOTE PRG, apply 0 TO +5 VDC to program HV Output in Voltage Mode between 3 kVDC and 30 kVDC. The range of voltage to apply may be increased to 0 TO +24 VDC by adding an 62 kΩ (kilohm) ¼ W (watt) resistor in series with the connection to position 6. Position 7 REMOTE PRG ENABLE, ground this pin to Pin 11 to program HV Output level using REMOTE PRG input (Pin 6).

NOTE - Fault Relay K1 is of the electro-mechanical type having a DC coil which pulls down an armature which switches the contacts. Contact rating on the relay is 24 VDC, 2 amps. See the following schematic diagram. Position 4 Position 4 Common (COM) Common (COM)
5. OPERATION ON / OFF SWITCH - Switch turns the MCM 30 charging generator on or off. Note that position #8 on the Interface Terminal Block must be grounded (i.e. connected to position #11) to energize the unit using the on/off switch on the face of the unit. SETTINGS KNOB - Knob controls the output of the High Voltage supply.

Changing the MODE To change the Mode rotate the knob fully counter clockwise, (CCW) and observe the Mode LEDs, (if you need to change the Mode again rotate the Settings knob clockwise, (CW) at least 45° then fully CCW again.) Once the operating mode is set, (Voltage or Current Mode), then rotate the Settings knob clockwise to set the desired output level on the LED “bar graph”...
