CONVEYOSTAT IN-LINE IONIZER
6. MAINTENANCE
NOTE
– Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance
tasks.
CAUTION – Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn off power supply before cleaning bar or performing any
maintenance on the system.
Occasionally check to make certain that all ground and electrical connections
are clean and secure. Periodically inspect all cables to ensure that there are
no cuts, abrasions, or damage that can lead to operator shock or equipment
damage.
The accumulation of contamination on the ionization emitter points and static
bar surfaces will reduce neutralizing efficiency of the Conveyostat, therefore it
is recommended that maintenance of the system be performed when the Clean
Bar (BPS-C) or Warning (Dual Phase+) indicator on the display illuminates.
Dirty environments may require more frequent cleaning. Maintenance should
be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Inspecting and Cleaning the Static Bars
Periodically inspect the static bars for physical damage such as missing pins
and cracked (or broken) housings. Such damage may occur from foreign
particles traveling through the unit. Abrasive wear on the exposed surfaces of
the static bar is to be expected in normal operations. Wear depends on the
materials being conveyed.
A clean brush with nylon bristles should be used to keep the ionization emitter
points of the static bar clean. Periodic use of the brush will prevent deposits
from accumulating on the points. The emitter points must remain sharp for
optimum operation.
NOTE
– Do not scrape points with any hard or sharp object that may
damage points.
1. Turn off power supply.
2. Remove dirt particles deposited on the static bars with a dry, stiff nylon
bristle brush.
3. Blow off the static bars with clean, dry compressed air.
