1. SAFETY WARNINGS For use in Hazardous Locations, Intrinsically Safe for use in: Class I, Division I, Group D Class II, Division I, Groups F and G Class III, Division I Temperature Code T4 S imco-Ion recommends that these instructions be read completely before installation or operation is attempted.
2. INTRODUCTION The IQ POWER HL static bar is tailored to the application. Speed bars are optimized to operate on high speed webs at distances 2” to 9” [50 mm to 230 mm]. Hybrid bars are optimized to operate at 6” to 18” [150 to 460 mm] on webs where the web path is somewhat variable.
3. SPECIFICATIONS Operating Voltage ±9.5 kV PEAK , max Speed Bar: 301-3961 mm [11.85-55.95”]; Hybrid Bar: Nominal Bar Length (Overall Length) 721-961 mm [28.38-155.95”] Dimensions 26 mm W x 49 mm H [1.00”W x 1.93”H] Weight 1.8g/mm [0.11 lb/in] Operating Temperature T4/Ta 0-80°C [32-176°F] Humidity 80% RH max, no dewing permissible...
4. INSTALLATION The static bar is supplied with a mounting kit which contains “Blue” plastic mounting brackets, perforated strips, hardware, and set screws (Figures 2 and 3). Figure 2 – Static Bar Mounting Kit MountingtheStaticNeutralizingBar Determine the best location to mount the static neutralizing bar. The static bar will typically be located just ahead of where problems due to static are occurring.

Figure 3. Static Bar Mounting Location NOTE! – IQ POWER HL bars should NOT be installed or operated at distances less than the minimum distance specified for the particular bar. (Speed 2” [50 mm] or Hybrid 6” [150 mm]) NOTE! – The “free area” between the static bar and the web should have approximately equal height and width.
Once the static bar is loosely installed, tighten all the remaining hardware. Locate the set screws and the hex key wrench and install two (2) set screws into the holes in the side of the mounting bracket. The set screws engage the “T” slot on the back of the bar securing it in place (Figure 4).

Figure 5 Figure 6 Install the “Y” sealing fitting onto the conduit and tighten. NOTE! – The “Y” sealing fitting must be secured to the conduit with a minimum of 5 full turns. Install the packing fiber generally following the “Y” sealing fitting manufactures; instructions while maintaining the high voltage wire separation.

5. MAINTENANCE NOTE! – Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks. CAUTION! – Electrical Shock Hazard. Turn off Power Supply before cleaning bar or performing any maintenance on the system. The accumulation of contamination on the ionization emitter points and static bar surfaces will reduce neutralizing efficiency of the bar, therefore it is recommended that maintenance of the system be performed when the Clean Bar indicator on the display module illuminates or every three weeks, whichever comes first.
