The XIFOS 33 bar has been designed in accordance with the safety requirements
of EN 62368-1:2014. This IEC-derived standard is harmonised under the EU Low
Voltage Directive and recognised by UL.
•
The emitter pins are resistively coupled to the high voltage supplies. The emitters
are a Class 1 electrical energy source, as defined in EN 62368 -1:2014. Contact
with the emitters is not painful and will not result in electrically-caused injury, but
may cause a detectable sensation due to the small current which will flow.
•
As with all pulsed DC static eliminators, it is possible for the user to receive a
small static shock as a result of their body being charged by the bar, and then
discharging to a nearby earthed object. This is not dangerous, but may be
uncomfortable and cause surprise.
•
The emitter pins of the bar are necessarily sharp. The emitter pins are a Class 2
mechanical energy source, as defined in EN 62368 -1:2014. Contact with
them may be painful, but will not cause an injury requiring emergency medical
attention. Take care when handling the bar.
•
Installation and maintenance work on the bar must only be carried out by
suitably qualified personnel.
•
The negative pole of the 24 V DC supply provided to the bar must be
permanently earthed.
•
Adequate installation earth/ground is required to ensure safe and proper
operation .
•
Do not connect or disconnect the M12 cable from the bar while it is powered.
•
A small amount of ozone will be produced as part of the ionisation process.
When installed correctly the level of concentration of ozone is less than 0.1 ppm
and is within internationally accepted limits.
•
Any changes to the equipment without written consent of the manufacturer will
nullify the warranty and certifications.
•
The bar is intended for use in indoor factory environments only.
It is not suitable for outdoor use.
