Unpacking And Inspection Your Hyperion 960IPS 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.
Features and Benefits of Hyperion 960IPS Low voltage wiring and Integrated Power Supply The 960IPS is powered by 24V DC via a 4-pin M8 Connector. Shockless Emitters The Titanium emitter pins on the 960IPS are resistively coupled to the high voltage supply.

Clean Pin Alert and Fault LED The local LED illuminates green to indicate that the bar is on and working correctly. Red flashing LED shows that bar is dirty and needs cleaning. Solid red illumination indicates a fault with the high voltage output. Green - OK ...

Divider The 960IPS is designed to operate in dirty, factory environments. To maximise the interval between cleaning, the bar features a divider to increase the surface tracking distance between the two rows of high voltage pins. It is important to clean this area during cleaning operations.
Installation Mechanical Installation The 960 is a short to mid-range bar. Dependent on the application, the bar will be mounted between 150mm and 600mm from the target surface. The bar should be mounted securely, using all the M4 T-bolts provided with the bar. Correct positioning of the bar is vital for effective static control.

When installed at short range over a web or sheet, the bars must be positioned away from surfaces and rollers, as shown in the following diagrams. Your Meech distributor will be able to assist with questions regarding positioning of your equipment.

RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE BAR OR THE 24V SUPPLY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Connection using a Grounded 24V DC power supply. E.g. Meech part number A900IPS-SM2MS. Meech 24V DC supplies are grounded internally. They are supplied with a ...

Fault alert output 0V/24V Connection using Meech 24V DC power supply Meech 24V DC supplies are grounded internally. It is important that the mains connection offers a ground connection. Two-pin outlets without a ground connection must not be used, unless the ground post on the 960IPS bar is connected to ground.
Page 14
Connection using customer’s own power supply: It is the customer’s responsibility to check that the 24V power supply they will be using is grounded. If it is NOT grounded they must check that grounding it via the ground post on the 960IPS bar will not affect any other systems running from that power source.

Alarm Logic Level This is given by the configuration of the “Alarm True” setting using the BarMaster. Alarm True = hi This means the logic on both the alarm pins is active high. Alarm True = lo This means the logic on both the alarm pins is active low.

Output Drive There are 3 different output drive options which are designed to fulfill the vast majority of user requirements and to allow easy integration to PLC equipment. Option 1 - NPN Transistor-driven switch which presents a pull-up resistor to 24VDC on the alarm pin. This configuration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4).
Page 17
Option 2 - PNP Transistor-driven switch which presents a pull-down resistor to GND on the alarm pin. This configuration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4). Simplified Diagram of NPN output Logic Table Alarm True = Hi Start State Solid Green Flashing Red...

Operation Having connected the M8 connector to the bar, power up the 24V supply and check for a green constant LED on the bar. This indicates that the bar is running correctly with a good ion output. Caution Always turn off the 24V supply before connecting or disconnecting the M8 connector. Failure to do so could result in stored charges giving a small electric shock.
Fault Finding To reduce the time it takes to resolve a problem with a Hyperion product, the following process must be completed before requesting assistance from Meech. The information below shows what is required for a 960IPS bar however, the same process can be used for any of the Hyperion range of products.

Status of the LED (i.e. solid green, flashing red, solid red, flashing green) Please provide a photo of the equipment as it is installed A description and a photo or video of the problem you are experiencing The action you want Meech to take e.g. repair, replace, warranty etc.

LED will show. Should the solid red LED persist, connect your BarMaster and follow the Troubleshooting section or contact your local Meech distributor. Warning Do not reset the Ion Reference without cleaning the ionising bar first. Resetting the Ion Reference with a low or 0% reading will provide a green LED, but will only mask any problem with the system.
Switch off power supply. Turn the power on and check for green solid LED Solid Red LED Likely Cause Abnormal output current detected Action Check installation for metallic objects on the emitter pins. Should the solid red LED persist, contact your Meech distributor...
Repairs And Warranty The Meech 960IPS Bar is warranted by Meech Static Eliminators Ltd. to the original purchaser against defects in material and workmanship for two years after shipment. The 960IPS requires a grounded 24V DC supply. The 0V line must be connected to ground.
