•
Fixed
- 50/50 balance standard operation (default factory setting). Fixed
provides standard operation, with output voltage regulation.
•
Auto-Tune
- Enhanced operation. This mode includes the current
monitoring found in Fixed mode, plus automatic compensation that takes
into account web speed, bar type, bar mounting distance and measured
ion current to optimize static neutralization performance. In order to
successfully invoke Auto-Tune, certain operating parameters must be
defined:
– Web Speed will have to be entered by the user. \
– Mounting Distance will have to be entered by the user. It is the distance
between face of static neutralizing bar and web, or material to be
neutralized.
•
CLFB - Closed-Loop Feedback
. The best control of ion balance. The IQ
Power HL Sensor connected to an HLC power supply will automatically
pair with that power supply for closed-loop control. The sensor must be
downstream of the static neutralizing bar in order for CLFB to work. The
sensor bar detects any voltage imbalance on the web, or material to be
neutralized, then transmits this information to the static neutralizing power
supply. The power supply makes incremental changes to the balance setting
until downstream charges are minimized.
•
Manual
- Allows manual control of the ion balance. Manual mode includes
voltage regulation and current monitoring found in the standard mode, plus
manual control of the ion balance ratio. This mode of operation would
only be selected where the web, or material to be neutralized, exhibited
extreme and consistent charging of one polarity.
Mounting Distance
: A user editable dimension, the spacing between face of bar and
web (surface being neutralized / measured). The factory default mounting distance
for neutralizing bars is 4” (100 mm) for speed type bars and 6” (150 mm) for hybrid
type bars. This is only used in the Auto-Tune mode. The mounting distance may
be set for individual HL Sensors. The factory default mounting distance for sensors
is 4” (100 mm).
NOTE
– This information (Mounting Distance) MUST be correct. It is
used by the static neutralizing bar when in Auto-Tune mode and used by the
static sensor for calibration. If this information is not correct, the static bar
may not operate properly when in the Auto-Tune mode or the static sensor
may report incorrect web voltages.
Web Speed
: A user entered value used only in the Auto-Tune mode.
Device Address
: The Power Supply Number (address / device number) assigned to
the HLC power supply. The address may be edited, but duplicate address numbers
are not permitted. The exception to this rule is static sensors. When a static Senor
Interface is connected with an HLC Power Supply, the static Sensor Interface must
have its address number manually set the same as the HLC Power Supply to pair
