4. INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Carefully remove all equipment from its carton and inspect the contents:
• Check that the details on the packing slip correspond to the details of the product received.
• Check that the equipment is free from damage.
• 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 of this manual for
Return Shipment information.

Mechanical Installation

NOTE! – Conductive machine parts or a static neutralizing bar in the vicinity of the static sensor have an
undesired influence on its operation. For optimum results, the static sensor must be installed as per Figure 6.
1. Upstream or Downstream of the static neutralizing bar, at a recommended distance of 12" (300 mm), so that any
electric fields from the static neutralizing bar will not interfere with charge measurement.
2. Downstream of the charging bar (where used in static charge generation monitoring), at an absolute minimum
distance of 12" (300 mm); greater distances are preferred, as installation allows. So that electric fields from the
static charging bar will not interfere with charge measurement.
3. At an optimum distance from the material to be measured. The mounting distance is related to the maximum
static charge anticipated. The higher the anticipated charge, the further the sensor should be mounted from the
material. The factory default mounting distance of 4" (100 mm) will provide an operating range of +/-30 kV.
Other operating distances are:
NOTE! – Calibration of the static sensor is distance dependent. If a distance other than the factory default
setting is used, then the Mounting Distance setting will need to be changed at the IQ Power Control Station
to maintain calibrated accuracy.
4. Sensors must face the material to be measured perpendicular to the surface.
5. DO NOT mount the Modular Sensor over a roller where the material to be measured is in contact with any other
surface.
