4. Operation

The discharging bars must be operated with a 24 V DC power supply.

4.1 Startup

Once all the connections have been correctly made, the system is opera-
tional and the supply voltage can be switched on.

4.2 Function monitoring

The proper function of the unit is signaled via the LEDs in the connection 
zone.
• During startup, all three LEDs (green, yellow, red) of the discharging 

bar must light up briefly.

• The green LED lights up as soon as the discharging bar is operational. 
• Brief disruptions (1/2 second) of the green LED at 10 second intervals 

are possible; the discharging bar otherwise operates continuously. 

• The yellow LED signals warning messages:

- LED off: optimum working range
- LED flashing in 1/2 second cycles:

Distance current working range < 350 mm

- LED flashing in 3 second cycles: 

Distance current working range > 700 mm
The discharging bar continues ot operate without disruption; 
the desired discharging power may not be reached.

• The red LED lights up or flashes as soon as a malfunction is detected.

Note!

Malfunctions are not saved. The disruption of the supply voltage 
automatically cancels the malfunction message. 

4.3 Function control

Use the Eltex Volt Stick or a glow-lamp voltage tester to check the proper 
function of the emission points. Quote Article No. 109136 when ordering 
the Volt Stick from Eltex.
