If equipment fails to function properly:
1. Deenergize 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 static bar checker (Simco-Ion # 4000004) to verify the presence of high
voltage at the ionization point. If the point is not working, check the area for
metallic fragments or other contamination.
6. If no contamination is found, either the gun or the power supply is defective.
To identify which is not working:
• Deenergize the power supply.
• Disconnect all static control devices 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 recep-
tacles. 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 gun is faulty. Otherwise, the power supply is faulty. If
either is faulty, contact Simco-Ion Customer Service or your local Simco-Ion
Representative.
