2. INTRODUCTION
Simco-Ion’s D167RY, D167Q, F167, F267, N167 and N267 power supplies are
designed as a power source for the MEB and MEJ static neutralizing bars. This
equipment is used to eliminate or significantly reduce static charges that disrupt
manufacturing processes. The high voltage from the power supply causes the
ionizing pins of the static neutralizing bar to generate both positive and negative ions
from surrounding air molecules. The static charge on the material being processed
will attract and combine with the oppositely charged ions, causing the material to be
neutralized. The excess ions either recombine in air or dissipate to ground.
The MEB and MEJ are static neutralizing bars with capacitively coupled ionization
points. The capacitively coupled design provides a safety feature that prevents
hazardous electrical shocks if there is contact with the ionizing pins. This safety
feature does not compromise the static bar’s performance.
The D167RY, D167Q, F167, F267, N167 and N267 power supplies are rated at an
output of 7,000 volts. Their current-limiting design assures a maximum short-circuit
current of only 5 mA, providing an additional safety feature that further prevents
hazardous electrical shocks if there is contact with the ionizing pins.
Receipt of Equipment
1. Carefully remove the equipment from its carton.
2. Inspect contents for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any
damage has occurred, the local carrier should be notified at once. A report
should be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road, Hatfield PA 19440,
and (215) 822-6401.
3. Empty the carton to ensure that small parts are not discarded.
Return Shipments
Prior to returning goods, contact a Simco-Ion Customer Service Representative for
a Return Authorization Number. This number should be included on the packing
list. All correspondence should also reference the Return Authorization Number.
Any item being returned should be shipped prepaid and packed to provide adequate
protection.
