This manual applies to the Fraser IONFIX Compact Generator product range: • IONFIX Compact, 24 V DC input, 30 kV DC output, positive or negative output polarity. • IONFIX Compact, 85-264 V AC input, 30 kV DC output, positive or negative output polarity.
2. Safety Safety Concepts The Fraser IONFIX Compact is a high-voltage switched-mode power supply. It has been designed in accordance with the safety requirements of EN 62368-1:2014 (Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment, Part 1: Safety requirements). This standard is harmonised under the EU Low Voltage Directive and recognised by UL.
The IONFIX Compact has simple front-panel controls allowing the output voltage to be set precisely to match the process requirements. The output current is electronically limited, and this limit may be reduced if necessary to suit the particular application.
4. Installation Checking on delivered equipment The equipment leaves our factory in suitable protective packaging. Please check that it is undamaged when it arrives. If there is visible damage contact the supplier immediately. Check that the parts which have been delivered are the same as you have ordered. Front panel rotation The front panel display and controls of the generator may be rotated by 180°...

Note that the 4 sockets are internally connected in parallel. Ensure that any unused sockets are plugged with the supplied blanking plugs (Fraser P/N 730218) to prevent dirt ingress. • Do not route HV cables near to sharp metal components.

Connect the power input cable to the generator. a. DC variant: connect +24 V to the left-hand terminal of the ‘Combicon’ pluggable terminal block (viewed from rear of generator), and 0 V to the right-hand terminal of the ‘Combicon’ pluggable terminal block. It is recommended to fit bootlace ferrules to the stripped ends of the 24 V input cable.

Operating the generator Switching the generator on To power up the generator, put the main power switch on the front panel into the ‘ON’ position. The LCD backlight will illuminate and the following text will be displayed on the screen as the generator initialises and performs self-checks: The LCD will then switch to the normal operating display (positive generator shown): If any of the generator remote interface functions are enabled the ‘Remote’...

With a voltage setpoint greater than 20 kV, the ‘Current Limited’ LED indicator will illuminate if the 20 W power limit is reached, even if the programmed current limit is not reached. To adjust the current limit, use the ‘Current –’ and ‘Current +’ to change the setpoint value. For example, if the current setpoint was reduced to 0.5 mA, the following would be displayed: If the current limit is adjusted whilst the HV output is enabled, the setpoint value followed by ‘SP’...

Remote current limit If the remote current limit function is enabled, an ‘R’ will be added to the ‘SP’ or ‘OP’ after the current readout on the generator display. For example, with HV off and remote current limit enabled: With HV on and remote current limit enabled: If the front panel current limit adjustment buttons are pressed in this state, the following error message will be shown: If both the remote voltage setpoint and remote current limit are enabled, the following will be shown...

External voltage setpoint input (pins 3, 17, 18) The external voltage setpoint input (pin 3) allows the high voltage output level of the generator to be programmed by an analogue voltage signal. To use the remote voltage setpoint function, it must first be enabled by connecting pin 18 (external setpoint enable) to pin 17 (GND).

Remote current monitor output (pin 5) The remote current monitor output (pin 5) allows the present output current of the generator to be monitored remotely. This signal may be fed into a PLC system, or used to drive a panel meter (10 V full- scale sensitivity).

Operating output (pins 10, 23) The operating output is activated when all of the following conditions are satisfied: • HV output enabled via either the front panel run/stop button or the remote on/off input. • Voltage setpoint not set to zero. •...
Output voltage rise time: <15 ms. [TBD] ms full-load, [TBD] ms no-load. Output voltage fall time: Output connector type: 4 x Fraser 30/60 kV tubular spring-contact HV connector. Protection Short-circuit protection: Continuous output current electronically limited. Output arcing protection: HV output disabled for 4 seconds in event of arcing.
Fraser Anti-Static Techniques. In some cases it may be necessary for the generator to be returned to Fraser Anti-Static Techniques for investigation and repair. Please ensure the generator is suitably packaged and clearly indicate the symp- toms of the fault encountered, including any error messages displayed by the generator.
