Eltex power supplies. These power supplies guarantee the optimum adaptation to the required operational data for the different active bar lengths. Safe operation of the bars is ensured only by using the Eltex power supplies. Other uses are not permitted. The manufacturers will not assume any liability and warranty if the units are used improperly or used outside the intended purpose.
12). • To attach the bar, use only the provided brackets made of plastic. It is also recommended to use the mounting material offered by Eltex (see chapter 3.1 "Assembling the R60L discharging bar”, page 12). • In applications involving moving bars (e.g. film draw strips), the high...
3.5.2 "Connecting oil and waterfree compressed air supply”, page 20). • The R60L discharging bars must be operated only in connection with the Eltex power supplies with max. 5 kV AC output (see chapter 4 "Operation”, page 21). • Check the units and the high voltage cables at regular intervals and before startup for any damage.
Shortening the shielded high voltage cable on the connect- ing side of the power supply is permitted. Extending the cable is permit- ted only when using the Eltex distributor as well as original high voltage cables and glands. • If any liquids seep into the spring tips and bar during cleaning, they must dry completely before start-up.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical specifications without prior notice in order to adapt the units to state-of-the- art engineering. Eltex will provide the latest information on any changes or modifications in the operating instructions on request.
Attach the R60L discharging bars to the machine wall, using special brackets. For easier installation we recommend using the assembly mate- rial (see Fig. 2) offered by Eltex. Fig. 3 / Fig. 4 show the installation princi- ple. Fig. 2:...

An optional alternative is attaching the bars using a GRP round rod. Fig. 4 shows an assembly example. The bar is attached to the GRP round rod via plastic holders. An additional angle permitting easy fastening of sys- tem profiles is available as an option, see Fig. 3. Fig.
Warning ! For safety in operation, please note the following: • The bar must be mounted such that mechanical damage to the bar tips is ruled out. • When routing the cable, select the attachment points such that mechanical damage to the cable (e.g. chafing against rotating machine parts) is ruled out.
Locating the R60L discharging bar The best possible discharging results are achieved if the bar is located in areas with minimum web capacities. In practical terms this means placing the bar with maximum distances from the machine environment, i.e. no discharging against the idler roller.

Protection profile SP (optional) Fig. 6: Protection profile In the case of installations on material webs, changes in the distance bet- ween the web and the electrode or as a result of a web break can lead to a possible getting caught on the spring tips. This can damage the spring tips.
3.2 Length of the high voltage cable The total length of discharging bar and high voltage cable is limited due to the loading capacity of the transformer in the power supply. The maximum loading capacity is a function of the active bar length and the length of the high voltage cables.
3.3 Adjust the angle coupling If the bar has a angle coupling, then it is aligned towards the tips during ex factory delivery. Fig. 10: 30...300° (max. 1 turn) Angle coupling Lock nut Angle coupling To turn the angle connection, proceed as follows: •...
3.4 Operation without air support We recommend leaving the air connections on both sides closed with the pre-assembled blind plugs. 3.5 Operation with air support 3.5.1 Number of air connections The number of air connections depends on the length of the bar. If the air is supplied via both air connections, then all hoses from the distributor to the connections must be of the same length (same pressure conditions).
3.5.2 Connecting oil and waterfree compressed air supply Depending on the air flow, you can connect the air supply parallel to the high voltage cable or on the opposite side or on both sides. For this pur- pose, please remove the pre-assembled blind plug and screw the air con- nection nipple into the thread provided (G1/4").
4.2 Function control Use the Eltex Volt Stick or a glow-lamp voltage tester to check the proper function of the emission points. Quote Article No. 109136 when ordering the Volt Stick from Eltex.
5. Maintenance Warning! Electric shock hazard! • Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work without first switching off the power supply and disconnecting the supply voltage. • The bars passively absorb energy from the moving substrate web. The high voltage cable must be plugged in or grounded to the power supply.
6. Troubleshooting Warning! Electric shock hazard! • Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work without first switching off the power supply and disconnecting the supply voltage. • The machine which has the units fitted must not be in operation. •...
