Page 4: Safety Warnings
1. SAFETY WARNINGS Simco-Ion recommends that these instructions be read completely before installation or operation is attempted. Failure to do so could result in serious injury and/or damage to the equipment. NOTE – Statements identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary to avoid potential equipment failure. -
Page 5: Description
2. DESCRIPTION Simco-Ion’s Conveyostat Systems are designed to provide in-line static elimination for neutralizing static charges on materials in pneumatic conveying systems. In-line ionization eliminates clogs caused by static charge buildup within the conveying system. Once the charges are neutralized, products flow freely and productivity increases. Conveyostats are typically mounted at the input to a cyclone or collection vessel so that trim or other conveyed materials are neutralized as they pass through the unit. -

4. INSTALLATION Before placing the Conveyostat and the Dual Phase+ Power Supply in operation, be sure that all grounds and connections have been made as described in the following steps. Turn the power OFF when the equipment is not in use. The power supply is selected by the factory depending on the type of Conveyostat to be powered. -
Page 8: Mounting And Grounding The Power Supply
Mounting and Grounding the Power Supply CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard Failure to properly ground the power unit may result in electrical shock hazard to personnel and inefficient operation of the Conveyostat. Mount the power unit to the machine frame or to a convenient wall or post. Mount the power unit to a flat surface using the mounting flanges at the base of the power unit. - Page 9 Make certain the power is OFF. Open the door to the Power Unit. Feed the high voltage cables through the grey bushings on the bottom side of the box (see Figures 2 & 3). Cut the high voltage cable to the desired length. Be sure to allow additional length to reach the high voltage output terminal blocks inside the power unit’s case.
- Page 10 Figure 3 AC Line Power (Low Voltage) Connections CAUTION – Do not apply line voltage to the Power Unit until all grounds and high voltage connections have been completed and the Conveyostat has been installed. Connection should be made only to a 3-wire 120V, 60 Hz or 230V, 60 Hz AC source. For rigid cable connection to the power unit: the use of local code approved solid 3-conductor cable through ½”...

Page 11: Installation Of Conveyostat In-Line Ionizer
Installation of Conveyostat In-Line Ionizer Locate the Conveyostat as close as possible to the inlet of receiver vessels (such as dropout boxes, cyclones, fabric filters, etc.). In these chambers, the speed of particles is lower and the detrimental effects of static electricity can be easily observed as clogs and material sticking. -
Page 12: Operation
5. OPERATION Before operating the equipment, make certain all grounds and connections have been completed and the Conveyostat has been properly installed. To begin operating the equipment, simply apply line power to the Power Supply. The green light indicates power to the unit. Always turn the power OFF when the equipment is not in use. -
Page 13: Maintenance
6. MAINTENANCE CAUTION – Maintenance must be performed by qualified service personnel only. CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard Turn off power supply before cleaning bar or performing any maintenance on the system. Power Supply Under normal conditions, the power supply requires no periodic maintenance. Occasionally check to make certain all ground and electrical connections are clean and tight. -
