CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect input power to the high voltage power supply before connecting or disconnecting static neutralizing bar or performing any maintenance to the system. Avoid touching static neutralizing bar when power supply is energized. ATTENTION – Risque De Choc Électrique Couper l’alimentation à...
2. DESCRIPTION Simco-Ion’s IQ Power HLC Power Supply and Control Station provide microprocessor controlled high voltage DC output to the static bar. High voltage causes ionizing pins on the static bar to generate positive and negative ions. The electric field from the static charge on material being processed will attract opposite polarity ions from the static bar causing the material to be neutralized.
3. SPECIFICATIONS IQ Power HLC Power Supply Input Power 24 VDC, 1.5A from AC adapter or Control Station Output Voltage +/-7 kV “Speed Bar”; +/-8 kV “Hybrid Bar” Dimensions 388L x 253W x 159H mm [15.25”L x 9.25”W x 6.25”H] Weight 14.5 kg [32 lb] Operating Temperature...
4. INSTALLATION Mounting the Power Supply A. Locate at a convenient place within reach of static bar high voltage cable. Note the HLC Power Supply is agency listed for mounting within hazardous (classified) locations (see Figure 3a, 3b and 3c). B.
Modular Cable HV Cable Figure 1. Conduit Seal B. Connect static bar by cutting the high voltage cable to length, terminating the leads, and connecting to the power supply: (see to Figure 2) 1. Strip black plastic jacket back 3¼” being careful not to nick insulation of HV wires and strip insulation of HV wires back 1”...
Page 10
Note that conduit seals must be properly installed to prevent the propagation of vapors and flames through conduit runs. Outer (black) jacket of HV cables must be removed and (white) insulated wires separated) before filling conduit seals with cement. Use care not to nick or cut insulation on HV wires. CAUTION –...

NOTE – DO NOT USE standard Ethernet cables with IQ Power systems. Avoid permanent equipment damage by using only Simco-Ion modular cables. (Refer to Section 8, Parts & Accessories). Figure 4. IQ Power Crossover Modular Cable (black) C. Connect Control Station. The Control Station supplies 24 VDC power for the IQ Power static eliminator power supplies.
Page 15
The Control Station can be used to automatically address the power supplies. The default Power Supply Number for a new unit is “1”. Plug first HLC (only) into Control Station and turn Control Station on. Allow Control Station to boot-up and begin operation. Plug second system into Control Station. The Control Station will re-address the second HLC to “2”.

D. Connect Sensor (if used). An IQ Power HL Sensor may be integrated into the IQ Power system to provide feedback on static eliminating performance and is used for the CLFB (Closed-Loop Feedback) static eliminating mode. Use the 7.62 meter [25 foot] (black) modular cable supplied with HLC. Longer cables (not supplied) are available.

E. Connect power supply alarm output (if used). The HLC Power Supply and (legacy) Remote Display Module “Alarm Output” is a standard DB25 pin connector. A maximum distance of 3 meters [10 feet] or less is recommended. The alarm output provides a variety of relay contact outputs that indicate the status of the power supply.
Page 21
On the Remote Display Module (in legacy installations) there is a ribbon cable connecting the face label on cover to the main circuit board. Use care not to disconnect this cable. If cable becomes disconnected, lift the latches on sides of ribbon cable connector, insert ribbon cable fully into connector and press latches back down.

In cases where the user does not want to use the AC adapter but wants to supply DC power to the IQ Power Remote Display Module, user supplied DC power may be applied two ways. The “Power In” connector on end panel of IQ Power Remote Display Module may be used to supply power to the system.
To manually adjust power supply address, connect unit by itself to a Control Station. Turn the Control Station on and allow the Control Station to begin running. Tap the device icon for the HLC power supply. Tap the Neutralizer tab. Tap the right arrow to get to page 2. Locate and tap the editing pencil icon for Device Address.

• Fixed - 50/50 balance standard operation (default factory setting). Fixed provides standard operation, with output voltage regulation. • Auto-Tune - Enhanced operation. This mode includes the current monitoring found in Fixed mode, plus automatic compensation that takes into account web speed, bar type, bar mounting distance and measured ion current to optimize static neutralization performance.

with the power supply. On the Control Station, the data from Sensors connected to that Sensor Interface will appear as a tab under the HLC and the interface will automatically be paired with that HLC power supply for CLFB operation. Sensor Quantity: The number of sensors found on sensor interface.
5. OPERATION NOTE – Before switching on power; ensure that units are properly grounded and that static bars and sensors are properly installed. System Start-up A. Turn on Control Station. B. Allow Control Station software to begin running. C. After a brief time, an icon for the HLC Power Supply will appear. On new systems the neutralizer status will display low output, initial calibration must be performed.
System Operation The operation of the IQ Power HLC Power Supply is controlled through the IQ Power Control Station. In operation, a device icon appears on the Control Station Home Page. Tapping on the device icon opens a Summary page containing information about the HLC power supply, static neutralizing bar, and static sensor (if connected).
Legacy Remote Display Module Indicators Power: Lights (green) to indicate power is on and the IQ Power HLC Power Supply is ready to operate. Comm: Lights (green) to indicate digital communication is established with an IQ Power Control Station. Bar On: Lights (green) to indicate when static neutralizing bar is active. Fault: Lights (red) to indicate faulty condition of static bar, power supply or high voltage connections.
6. MAINTENANCE NOTE – Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks. CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard Turn off power supply before cleaning bar or performing any maintenance on the system. ATTENTION – Risque De Choc Électrique Coupez l’alimentation électrique avant de nettoyer la barre ou d’effectuer un entretien sur le système.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE – Only qualified service personnel are to perform troubleshooting tasks. CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard Do not troubleshoot high voltage components with power supply energized. Disconnect input power or switch power off before troubleshooting.
