Introduction; Description And Operation - ITW SIMCO ION Performax IQ Easy Mode D'emploi

1 Introduction

The Performax IQ Easy and Performax IQ Easy Speed are anti-static bars designed to
neutralise electrostatically charged surfaces.
The most important difference between these two anti-static bars is the recommended usages
of each.
The Performax IQ Easy is the standard version for regular applications, whereas the
Performax IQ Easy Speed is optimised for high conveyor speeds with the anti-static bar close to
the material to be discharged.
Both anti-static bars are supplied with a high voltage supply, emitters and two status LEDs.
The Performax IQ Easy and Performax IQ Easy Speed are supplied with a 24 V DC supply
voltage via a standard M12 connector. The anti-static bars can be supplied directly by a 24 V
power supply, but can also be connected to the IQ Easy platform. With this option the anti-static
bar can be controlled and read out remotely and centrally, but it can also work together with a
sensor IQ Easy, for example, to further reduce the residual charge. With the IQ Easy platform
the status of the bar can be logged for easy quality registrations.
The Performax IQ Easy performs at its optimum between a distance of 100 and 500 mm
material distance, at material speeds below 500 metres per minute and is available in effective
lengths of 270 to 4770 mm, in increments of 180 mm.
For material speeds exceeding 500 m/minute and/or distances from 50 to 500 mm the
Performax IQ Easy Speed is recommended, which is available in effective lengths of
210 to 4890 mm, in 60 mm increments.

2 Description and operation

The 24 V DC supply voltage is converted in the anti-static bar into a positive and negative high
voltage. The high voltage generates an electrical field at the emitters of the anti-static bar, which
causes the air molecules around the emitters to be converted into positive and negative ions.
When an electrostatically charged material comes within operating distance of the anti-static
bar, ions from the anti-static bar are exchanged with the charged material until the material is
neutral.
