ITW SIMCO-ION IQ EASY MODULAR SENSOR Installation And Operating Instructions Manual page 20

NOTE! – This information (Mounting Distance) MUST be correct. It is used by the sensor for calibration.
If this information is not correct, the sensor calibration will be incorrect.
Overall Average: The numeric average of voltages from all sensor modules on the given sensor Device Address.
Feedback Average: The numeric average of voltages from Sensors for Feedback. This value is used during closed-loop
feedback (CLFB) control for the static neutralizing bar.
Sensor Mode: Two sensor modes are available: Neutralizing and Charging.
The Neutralizing Mode triggers the Warning and Alarm on rising voltage, indicating excess static electricity. This
indicates a static neutralizing bar is not effectively neutralizing static electricity.
The Charging Mode triggers the Warning and Alarm on falling voltage, indicating a lack of static electricity. This
indicates static charging equipment is not effectively electrostatically charging material.
The default Sensor Mode setting is Neutralizing.
Warning Setpoint: The web voltage level at which the Modular Sensor will set a "Warning" and illuminate the
yellow indicator light on the end of the sensor. In the Neutralizing (default) Sensor Mode, the Warning triggers on
rising voltage (indicated by ">"), i.e., the Warning triggers when the voltage rises above the Warning Setpoint. In the
Charging Sensor Mode, the Warning triggers on falling voltage (indicated by "<"), i.e., the Warning triggers when the
voltage falls below the Warning Setpoint. The factory default value is 5 kV; however, this value may be user-adjusted.
Fault Setpoint: The web voltage level at which the Modular Sensor will set a Fault and illuminate the red indicator
light on the end of the sensor. In the Neutralizing (default) Sensor Mode, the Fault triggers on rising voltage
(indicated by ">"), i.e., 16 the Fault triggers when the voltage rises above the Fault setpoint. In the Charging Sensor
Mode, the Fault triggers on falling voltage (indicated by "<"), i.e., the Fault triggers when the voltage falls below the
Fault Setpoint. The factory default value is 20 kV; however, this value may be user-adjusted.
Sensors for Feedback: The sensor modules were selected to provide feedback for closed-loop feedback (CLFB)
control. The default setting for this is to use all sensors on the given sensor Device Address for feedback control.
Paired Bar: The specific static neutralizer used with this sensor in closed-loop feedback (CLFB) mode. The static
neutralizing bar MUST be upstream (before) the sensor.
Pairing is controlled by connection to "PS COMM 2" on a BPS power supply or by matching the sensor Device
Address to an IQ Easy static neutralizing bar or Fantom ionizing blower. In either case, the sensor will appear as a
tab on the neutralizer device page on the Control Station Display.
Voltage Range: The voltage range is the maximum (both positive and negative) that the sensor is capable of
measuring. The voltage range is determined by the mounting distance. As the mounting distances increase, the
voltage range also increases.
Web Voltage Sensor 1,2,3, or 4: The voltage level reported by a given sensor module.
Firmware Version and Last Calibration Date: Included with web voltage data reported from the sensor module.
The IQ Easy Modular Sensor can be used as part of a closed-loop feedback system to control an IQ Easy or IQ
Power Static Bar or Fantom Blower. In this configuration, the ion output from the static bar or blower is optimized
to provide the best possible web neutralization. Enabling the CLFB Mode (closed-loop feedback) is performed on
the IQ Easy Control Station under the device pages.
