SAFETY WARNINGS NOTE – Statements identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary to avoid potential equipment failure. CAUTION! – Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential safety hazards. NOTE – This equipment must be correctly installed and maintained. Adhere to the following cautions for safe installation and operation: 1. Read the complete Operation Manual before operating. Failure to follow instructions may result in damage to the ionizer and/or personal injury. 2. Disconnect line voltage to power supply before connecting high voltage cable. 3. A factory-qualified service technician must perform component service and repairs. Please contact Simco-Ion Customer Service for information. 2 5200199 Rev. F One-Point Ionizer with S Power Supply 2. INSTALLATION Carefully remove the equipment from the carton and inspect the contents. NOTE – If any damage has occurred during shipment, notify the local carrier at once. A report should also be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road, Hatfield PA 19440. See Section 5 (Warranty) for Return Shipment information. One-point Ionizer Location Best locations are usually just ahead of places where static gives trouble. The material to be neutralized should have a background of free air and not be in contact with another surface as it passes the static ionizer, since static charges cannot be easily neutralized from between two surfaces in intimate contact. Discharging of material in intimate contact with a flat plate or board can often be done effectively by cutting a hole in the plate or board and mounting the ionizer in this hole. Partial contact of the material with a background surface may not interfere with effective static elimination; however, this should be avoided as much as possible. Static ionizers may be mounted with points facing in any direction, provided they face the material to be discharged. The casing of the one-point ionizer should not be less than 3/8” nor more than 3” from the material to be discharged. For best operation, keep between ½” and 1”. The material should not contact the ionizer. Installation Mount each ionizer to the machine by means of the mounting clamp provided. Wrap the 7/16” clamp around the ionizer and bolt clamp directly to a grounded machine frame or to the perforated strip supplied and bolt the perforated strip to a grounded machine frame. This process automatically grounds the casing that is necessary for proper operation. If the mounting clamp is mounted to a non-metallic part of the machine frame or if other means of supporting the ionizer is used involving insulating materials, attach a ground wire with a ring lug to the bolt on the 7/16” clamp. Run the high voltage ionizer cable in cable supports along the machine frame or wall to the power supply. The cable should be kept at least ¼” away from the grounded machine frame or other grounded surfaces. Install the spring loaded cable connector on the high voltage cable as outlined on attached instructions. Plug the cable into one of the high voltage receptacles on the power supply and screw the knurled plug into the plastic receptacle – FINGER TIGHT ONLY. The low voltage wiring of the power supply terminates in a polarized 3-prong plug for connection into a
