Introduction The Hyperion 233v4 Pulsed DC Controller is a compact and powerful 15kV controller. It was principally designed to directly power two Meech pulsed DC ionisers. If more ionisers are required, they can be connected via splitters. The versatility and flexibility of the 233v4 make it suitable to use in a wide range of industries.
Unpacking and Inspection The Model 233v4 has been carefully packed at the factory in a container designed to protect it from accidental damage. Nevertheless, we recommend careful examination of the carton and contents for any damage. If damage is evident, do not destroy the carton or packing material and immediately notify the carrier of a possible damage claim.
Features and Benefits of the 233v4 Pulsed DC Controller Overall look The Hyperion 233v4 is a compact pulsed DC controller. It is constructed of DuraForm PA (Nylon 12) with dimensions of 46 x 93 x 129mm. High Voltage Output The 233v4 has an adjustable output voltage from 2kV to 15kV. The 233v4 will be configured to suit the type of installation and the type of ionising equipment connected to it.

Clean Pin Alert LED The 233v4 has 6 modes. The local LED illuminates either red, green or amber to indicate it’s current operation. Below are the 6 modes for the LED status: Green Continuous - HT on Green Flashing - HT on, BarMaster connected ...

Remote Signal In the case of the Clean Pin Alert signal, the Cleaning Alert LED will activate. This can be monitored remotely to alert the operator to attend to the controller. Sealed Construction IP67 construction allows the controller to be mounted in areas subject to wash-down or spillage.

Failure to do so, will result in damage to the ioniser or the 24V supply and will void the warranty. A grounding post on the controller is provided for this purpose. Meech recommend that, for certainty, the controller is grounded using this post, in...

Connection to the 233v4 is via an M8 4 Pin connector. With the following pin- outs: Male connector on Controller Female connector on Cable Colour Function Specification Brown Input White Output Clean pin 0V/24V Blue Input 0V/ Ground Black Output HT Failure 0V/24V For the first 60 seconds of start-up, the unit is in communications mode and will output 24V on both alarm lines.
Page 11
233v4 controller is connected to ground. The Meech switchmode power supply has a C5 socket and a 2000mm cable to an M8 Connector. A break-out wire from the power supply provides the Clean Pin Alert output signal.
Dual Alarm Alert - Remote Monitoring Remote monitoring of the need to clean the bar is provided by the output signal on pin 2 (white) and fault alert is provided on pin 4 (black). The signal is 0V-24V suitable for direct connection to a PLC input. The output impedance of the signal is 10kΩ. The output can also be configured to power an external relay to provide volt-free contacts for other monitoring systems.

Alarm Logic Level This is given by the configuration of the “Alarm True” setting using the BarMaster. Alarm True = hi This means the logic on both the alarm pins is active high. Alarm True = lo This means the logic on both the alarm pins is active low.
Output Drive There are 3 different output drive options which are designed to fulfill the vast majority of user requirements and to allow easy integration to PLC equipment. Option 1 - NPN Transistor-driven switch which presents a pull-up resistor to 24VDC on the alarm pin. This configuration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4).
Page 15
Option 2 - PNP Transistor-driven switch which presents a pull-down resistor to GND on the alarm pin. This configuration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4). 2.2kΩ Simplified Diagram of PNP output Logic Table Alarm True = Hi Start State Solid Green Flashing Red...

Option 3 - N+P This option presents the combination of both of the previous cases, NPN and PNP, however, the alarm lines are hard-driven to either 24VDC or GND.This configuration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4). Note: When ‘a’...
Getting Started The 233v4 must be configured to suit the installation and the ionising equipment connected to it. Before you receive your 233v4, Meech, if required, will preset the controller to suit your application. This includes applying basic settings of the output power, rate and balance as well as alarm functionality and the lock option.
Page 18
This value should only be set when the ionisers have been cleaned, otherwise the performance of the system will be reduced. During use, ionisers become contaminated which reduces their performance. Setting the Rate The 233v4 features a variable output frequency. The frequency that the 233v4 should be set to depends on the ionising product and the distance to the target object.
Page 19
Setting the Balance The output of the 233v4 can be biased to negative or positive. The adjustment changes the percentage of time that each HT output is switched on. The maximum bias is 80% to either positive or negative. 50% positive 80% negative Changing the balance of the output changes the relative amount of positive and negative ions produced by the ioniser.
Page 20
Input/Output Connections Remote On/Off The output of the 233v4 can be turned on and off remotely via the 3 pin female socket located on the connection panel. A 3 pin M8 connection to volt-free contacts will allow the 233v4 to be switched on when the contacts are made.
The BarMaster is connected in line with the controller’s 24V power supply cable. The power cable is connected to the BarMaster and, in turn, its cable is connected to the 233v4 controller. Note: The Meech BarMaster does not come with the 233v4 and must be purchased separately. WARNING It is recommended to turn-off the 24V power supply to the controller and wait a few seconds before disconnecting the power cable from the controller.
The display on the BarMaster will show data including: Model No and Software version 233v4 / VXXX XXXX/XX Frequency 1-20Hz Balance 20%-80% Positive Alarm 20%-90% Ion Level 0%-99% Reset Ion Ref Calibration command. Adjustments Frequency Your Hyperion controller is set to a default frequency that provides good performance across its operating range.

Reset Ion Ref. This function is used to set reference performance level when the ioniser is clean. It is set by Meech during initial calibration. It should be reset after making changes to either the balance or the frequency of the output.
Maintenance The only maintenance required is that the exterior of the 233v4 Pulsed DC Controller should be cleaned regularly with a dry cloth to keep it free from dust and other contaminants. IP67 construction allows the controller to be mounted in areas subject to occasional wash-down or spillage.
Fault Finding Tests must be completed by a qualified electrical engineer. If in doubt contact the Meech head office or your local distributor. CAUTION: Whilst no danger to personnel exists, it is essential that any high voltage ionising equipment makes no contact with water or water based fluids.

HT connections (see page 23) To reduce the time it takes to resolve a problem with a Hyperion product, the following process must be completed before requesting assistance from Meech. Cleaning If regular cleaning of the ionising equipment is not carried out, the controller will detect a drop in performance from the ioniser and this will trigger the Clean Pin alert.

LED will show. Should the solid red LED persist, connect your BarMaster and follow the Troubleshooting section or contact your local Meech distributor. Using a high voltage probe (RS 610 281) and meter (RS 610 590) can be used to measure the voltage output of the ionisers.
