2.4 Technical advance
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical
specifications without prior notice in order to adapt the units to state-of-
the-art engineering. Eltex will provide the latest information on any
changes or modifications in the operating instructions on request.
2.5 Proper Use
The Series IONSTAR RX3 discharging bars must be used only for dis-
charging static charges from material surfaces. Other uses are not permit-
ted.
Other uses are not permitted. The manufacturers will not assume any lia-
bility and warranty if the units are used improperly or used outside the
intended purpose.
Modifications or changes made to the devices are not permitted.
Use only original Eltex spare parts and equipment.
2.6 Work and operational safety
Warning!
Carefully observe the following notes!
• If a conductive substrate (e.g. composite film material with aluminium
coating) is processed under EX atmosphere in the unit in which the
IONSTAR RX3 is installed or if a conductive coating (e.g. metallic inks)
is applied or printed, the IONSTAR RX3 must be de-energised.
• Before carrying out repairs, cleaning or maintenance work and before
resetting after malfunctions, switch off the unit and disconnect the
mains supply voltage.
• The units must be installed, repaired, serviced and tested by qualified
personnel only.
• The bars passively absorb energy from the moving substrate web. The
high voltage cable must be plugged in or grounded to the power supply.
An unconnected grounding cable may cause a spark discharge and
may lead to a risk of injury.
• Check the units at regular intervals and before startup for any damage.
Any damaged components must be repaired or replaced before contin-
uing to operate the unit, or the units must be disabled.
• Make sure that the units are clean at all times.
Dirt results in malfunctions and in premature wear of the units.
• Do not touch the emission tips - risk of injury.
If the high voltage supply is connected, reflex responses to electrical
irritation can lead to secondary accidents, especially in the vicinity of
unguarded rotating assemblies. The charging bar as such is safe to
