  • Page 5: Introduction

    The extruded profile has been designed to enhance emitter life and allow easy cleaning while giving linear strength. The profile incorporates “T” slots on three faces to provide universal mounting points. The Meech Model 976 is powered by any of the range of Meech Pulsed DC Controllers.

  • Page 6: Unpacking And Inspection

    Unpacking And Inspection Your Model 976 Bar was carefully packed at the factory in a container designed to protect it from accidental damage. Nevertheless, we recommend careful examination of the carton and contents for any damage. If damage is evident, do not destroy the carton or packing material and immediately notify the carrier of a possible damage claim.

    It should typically be between 300mm and 600mm away from the target area. The Meech Model 976 can be connected to any of the Meech range of Pulsed DC Controllers.
  • Page 8 The shockless emitter pins produce ions of positive and negative polarity. These, because of the product’s unique design, propel themselves away from the emitter points towards the target area. Optimum static elimination can be achieved by adjustment of the “Rate” (frequency of pulsing) and the “Balance”...
  • Page 9 I.E. a) If the static charge is known to be positive the balance should be adjusted towards negative on the controller. b) If the static charge is known to be negative the balance should be a adjusted towards positive on the controller.

  • Page 10: Maintenence

    Maintenance Ionisers require periodic cleaning. During normal operation, dirt will build-up on the emitter pins and upon the body of the ioniser. This will cause a reduction in performance. Typically, weekly cleaning is sufficient. However, equipment used in some heavy contamination areas, such as gravure printing or where plastic fumes are present, may require daily cleaning.
  • Page 11 Let dry for a minute and replace the outer cap. Re-assemble the emitter pin onto the bar and turn back on. If on inspection, the emitter pins of the Bar are very dirty or damaged they should be replaced. Replacement emitters are available from Meech Static Eliminators Ltd. or your local Meech Distributor.

  • Page 12: Fault Finding

    Fault Finding Tests must be completed by a qualified electrical engineer. If in doubt contact the Meech head office or your local distributor. CAUTION: Whilst no danger to personnel exists, it is essential that any high voltage ionising equipment, makes no contact with water or water based fluids.
  • Page 13 Disconnect all bars from the controller. Reconnect the supply and switch on the unit.
  • Page 14 Using a high voltage probe (RS type 610 281) and meter (RS type 610 950) measure the voltage on each of the output sockets. The reading should be at minimum power 4kV and at maximum power 8kV Having checked the power supply, reconnect one Model 976 Bar.
  • Page 15 Using a high voltage probe (RS 610 281) and meter (RS 610 590) measure the voltage on the pins of the bar. This voltage should be between 3 and 6kV. If there is more than one bar to test, disconnect the first item and repeat the above steps.
  • Page 16 If no meter and probe is available, then a fast and simple test is to simply short a pin of one of the ionising bars to earth using a length of insulated electrical cable bared back 3 mm at either end. Connect one end of the cable to the earth post of the bar.
