WARNING
This equipment is not constructed for classified (hazardous)
environment. It cannot be used where it will be exposed to ignitable
or corrosive materials and gases.
This equipment employs high voltage. Please follow the operating instructions
carefully in order to minimize electrical shock hazard.
This equipment is intended for use in electrostatic processes that are free from water,
oil and other conductive contaminants. Exposure to such contaminants will cause
failure of the electrical insulation system in the product.
This equipment should not be operated in an ambient with corrosive fumes of
acid/alkali or corrosive gases such as chlorine.
The equipment is designed to be used with specific Simco-Ion Power unit. Its
performance and durability cannot be guaranteed if any other power supply used.
The Power unit, in turn, shall be connected to proper utility line. The utility line
conditions are indicated on the nameplate of the Power unit.
The Static Neutralizing Bars and Power units should be mounted in position and all
high voltage connections completed with high voltage cables properly secured before
the system is connected to the utility lines. Flexing the high voltage cables with power
on can cause failure of the insulation system.
The equipment must have proper grounding. Without proper grounding there may
be electrical shock/fire hazard.
During normal use of this product, there should be no visible spark. If any spark is
observed, please turn off power and clean the unit following proper maintenance
procedure. In case sparking continues, switch off the Power unit and contact us or
our sales representatives in your area. Inspection, exchange and repair service will be
provided in accordance with the warranty conditions.
The neutralizing electrodes in this product consist of sharp needles. Please take
precautions against injury. Periodic maintenance, such as cleaning of needle
electrodes, is necessary for satisfactory performance of the equipment.
This equipment is likely to be damaged if dropped. In such an event, it should be
carefully examined and any necessary repairs be made by an authorized technician.
The equipment will produce considerable electrical noise and insulation might burn if
the unit is damaged.
