Controlling Separation Charging

1.

Outline

The separation mechanism is controlled for the following:
[1] DC bias constant current
[2] AC bias constant current
[3] output correction to suit the environment and deposit of toner (fuzzy control)
[4] output correction upon detection of leakage
Figure 6-313 shows the construction of the control system for the separation charging mecha-
nism.
When '1', the high-voltage
DC output is ready.

A voltage input between 0 and 12 V, used to control
the current level of the separation bias.
