Introduction; Description And Operation - Simco-Ion Performax Easy Notice D'utilisation

1. Introduction

The Performax Easy and Performax 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 Easy Speed has been optimized for high webspeeds, close to the material to be
discharged.
Both anti-static bars are equipped with an integrated high-voltage power unit, emitters and a
status LED.
The Performax Easy and Performax Easy Speed are supplied with a 24 V DC supply voltage
via a standard M12 connector.
The recommended right-angled connector with cable also has an LED status indicator.
The Performax Easy performs at its optimum between a distance of 100 mm and 500 mm, at
material speeds below 500 metres per minute and is available in effective lengths of 270 mm to
3690 mm, in increments of 180 mm.
For material speeds exceeding 500 m/minute and/or distances from 50 to 500 mm the
Performax Easy Speed is recommended, which is available in effective lengths of 90-3810 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.
You can tell from the status LED whether the anti-static bar is in operation, and whether it is
overloaded.
