To reset the power supply address
(to “1”) press and hold the Calibrate button
while turning the unit on. Continue holding down the Calibrate button while the
Output indicators “count-up” and when the COMM light starts flashing, release the
Calibrate button. When just the Speed and Distance LED flicker, the power supply
address number has been reset to ”1” and saved.
Set Up (with IQ Power Control Station)
A variety of information can be checked, and operating parameters set, for the IQ
Power BPS power supply through the IQ Power Control Station via the device page.
Tap on the device icon for the BPS and static bar to access these pages. A summary
tab will appear offering important information. Tabs for the neutralizer and sensor
(if installed) will also appear. Tapping on a neutralizer tab or sensor tab opens a
page where operating parameters may be edited or selected. Typical parameters are
listed below.
Device Name
: A user editable name to identify the specific device (14 character).
Bar Type
: A fixed description for the type of bar connected to the BPS (speed, hybrid
or distance).
Bar HV
: Allows turning the HV power supplies on/off.
Ion Output
: Displays the ionization level, in percent, where Bar Calibration =
100% and the ionization level in terms of microamps for both positive and negative
ionization.
Balance
: A ratio of input power supplied to the high voltage power supplies that is
related to ion balance. In Fixed, Auto-Tune and CLFB modes this is a display only
and non-editable. The Balance may only be user adjusted in the Manual mode.
Operation Mode
: A user selectable operating mode for the static bar (Manual, Fixed,
Auto-Tune, CLFB).
•
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 the face of the static neutralizing bar and the web, or material to
be neutralized.
•
CLFB
- Closed-Loop Feedback. The best control of ion balance. The IQ
Easy Sensor Bar connected to a BPS will automatically pair with that BPS
for closed-loop control. The sensor bar must be downstream of the static
neutralizing bar in order for CLFB to work. The sensor bar detects any
