1. SAFETY AND WARNINGS NOTE – Statements identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary to avoid potential equipment failure. CAUTION – Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential safety hazards. NOTE – This equipment must be correctly installed and maintained. Adhere to the following notes for safe installation and operation: Read instruction manual before installing or operating equipment.
2. DESCRIPTION Simco-Ion’s Arc Resistant Charging Bars are part of the Chargemaster Electrostatic Generating System. These bars are energized with Simco-Ion Chargemaster VCM, CM20, MCM30 DC power supplies that provide the necessary high voltage that is current limited for safety. This system is used to produce electrostatic adhesion for temporarily bonding or pinning materials.
3. SPECIFICATIONS Input Voltage ±30 kVDC (±50 kVDC with special mounting & insulation precautions) Output Current 1.5 mA/ft max Operating Environment 32°F (0°C) to 200°F (90°C); 70% RH Max, no dewing permissible Operating Distance 1/2” to 3” (application & voltage dependant) Weight 2.1 lb per foot Dimensions...
4. INSTALLATION Unpacking Carefully remove equipment from the carton and inspect the contents. NOTE – If any damage has occurred during shipment, notify the local carrier at once. A report should also be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road, Hatfield PA 19440. See Section 9 (Warranty) for Return Shipment information.
In Figure 2, the charging bar faces a production fixture that moves beneath the charging bar (alternatively the bar could move over the fixture) in an interleaving application where paper or film is pinned to metal prior to cutting and stacking. After the materials to be pinned together are positioned on the fixture, it moves beneath the charging bar.
Option 3: Two Charging Bars In Figure 4, one charging bar faces another of opposite polarity in an application where decorative sheets are pinned to both sides of heavy particle board prior to laminating. the materials move between the charging bars, the opposite polarity ions created by each bar are driven toward each other by an electric field formed between them.
Multi-Function Bracket Top Mounting 1. Drill a clearance hole in each side of the machine frame to accommodate a 5/16- 18 bolt. Bars exceeding 48” in length require additional support centered on the bar. 2. Slide bracket into the mounting channel molded into the rear of the charging bar (see Figure 5) then lock bracket in place using provided set screws.
3. Slide bracket into the mounting channel molded into the rear of the charging bar (see Figure 5) then lock bracket in place using provided set screws. 4. Secure the charging bar to the machine frame. Tighten nylon nut hand-tight plus ¼-turn only.
5. OPERATION CAUTION – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Do not touch Charging Bar during operation. CAUTION – FIRE HAZARD Do not operate equipment in close proximity to any flammable solvents or flammable materials. 1. Before energizing any power supply: • Ensure that all power supplies are properly grounded. •...
6. MAINTENANCE NOTE – Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks. CAUTION – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD De-energize all power supplies before performing any maintenance tasks. Cleaning Emitter Pins Dust or dirt around the emitter pins will reduce the effectiveness of the Pinner Bar. The bar must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from accumulating: 1.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Electrical Stress • Electrical stress can occur between the bar and a ground reference beneath the target material. This stress typically occurs at edges of material being charged and comes from the ion emitter points at the end of the Charging Bar. Eliminate this stress by gradually reducing the operating voltage from the power supply.
9. WARRANTY Simco-Ion warrants its products to be free of defects in components, workmanship, or materials for a period of one year from date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to any physical or electrical damage caused by misuse, abuse or negligence (such as any modifications made to the unit or service work done by any other than Simco-Ion authorized technicians).
