6. TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE! – Only qualified service personnel are to perform trouble-shooting
tasks.
If equipment fails to function properly:
1. De-energize the power supply.
2. Ensure all ground connections are intact.
3. Check that all cable connections are tight.
NOTE! – FINGER TIGHTEN ONLY.
4. Energize the power supply (if equipped with an ON/OFF switch, ensure that it
is in the ON position).
5. Use a Tension Voltage Detector (Simco-Ion #4050556) to verify the presence of
high voltage at each ionization point. If any points are not working, check the
area for metallic fragments or other contamination.
6. If none of the points are working, either the bar or the power supply is defective.
To identify which is not working:
• De-energize the power supply.
• Disconnect all static bars from the power supply by unscrewing the knurled
plugs and gently pulling out each high voltage cable.
• Connect an insulated test wire to the power supply’s ground stud.
• Energize the power supply.
• Slowly insert the free end of the test wire into one of the high voltage
receptacles. As the insulated wire approaches the contact within the
terminal, a spark should occur and arcing should be heard. If a spark occurs
and arcing is heard, then the static bar is faulty. Otherwise, the power
supply is faulty. If either is faulty, contact Simco-Ion Customer Service or
your local Simco-Ion Representative.
