Putting Into Use; Functional Check; Maintenance; Faults - Simco-Ion MEB Notice D'utilisation

6. Putting into use

The anti-static bar is put into operation by switching on the power unit.

7. Functional check

A Simco-Ion bar checker can be used to verify that the high voltage at the emitter points is on.
An electrostatic fieldmeter must be used to measure the efficiency of the anti-static bar.
Measure the charge on the material before and after it has passed the anti-static bar.
The charge measured should have disappeared after the material has passed the anti-static
bar.

8. Maintenance

Warning:
- When carrying out work on the equipment: de-energise the equipment.
- Watch out for the sharp emitter points during cleaning

Attention:
- Do not damage the emitter points.
- Keep the anti-static bar clean.
- If fouled: Clean the anti-static bar with a hard non-metal brush.
(Brush: Simco-Ion item no. 2000430001)
- If heavily fouled: clean anti-static bar with isopropyl alcohol or with Veconova 10 industrial
cleaner (www.eco-nova.nl) (not for anti-static bar MSB)
- Allow the anti-static bar to dry entirely, before energising again.

9. Faults

Problem
No/poor ionisation.
Bar causes an electrical
shock on contact
No high voltage on emitter
points.
Table 1: faults
Bars_UM_9752039010_NL_D_GB_F_V3_4
Cause
No high voltage.
Anti-static bar is fouled.
Emitter points are
damaged.
Emitter points are covered. Remove the cover.
Anti-static bar is not
earthed
High voltage power unit is
defective.
Short circuit in the HV
cable or anti-static bar.
Remedy
Restore high voltage.
Clean anti-static bar.
Return bar for repair.
Make sure that the anti-
static bar is properly
earthed
Repair high voltage power
unit.
Eliminate short circuit or
return the bar for repair.
