MCM 30 Electrostatic Charging Generator
Changing the MODE To change the Mode rotate the knob fully counter clockwise,
(CCW) and observe the Mode LEDs, (if you need to change the Mode again rotate the
Settings knob clockwise, (CW) at least 45° then fully CCW again.) Once the operating
mode is set, (Voltage or Current Mode), then rotate the Settings knob clockwise to set
the desired output level on the LED “bar graph” display, (In Voltage Mode the bar
graph display represents 3KVDC to 30KVDC and in current mode the bar graph display
represents 0.1mA to 1.0mA). To save this setting press the MODE / SETUP button once
(the Status LED will flash).
Setting the ADDRESS – Observe the Output LED “bar graph” display and one of the
LEDs will be flashing, then rotate the Settings knob fully counter clockwise (CCW)so
that the bottom LED, (1.0mA / 3KV), is flashing this is address #1. To change the address
rotate the knob CW until the desired Address is set, (1.0mA / 3KV = #1 and 1.0mA /
30KV = #10), each LED represents an address from 1 to 10. To save this setting press the
MODE / SETUP button once (the Status LED will flash along with both Mode LED’s and
bar graph LEDs lighting indicating that the values have been store in the flash memory).
NOTE –
If the MCM 30 is turned off while in setup state, any adjustment to the
set-points will be lost. The unit must be placed into the operating state from the
setup state for adjustments to the set-points to be recorded.
MODE LEDS -
Green LEDs indicate the Mode of operation set on the MCM 30.
Voltage Mode – Where the voltage is fixed to a predefined level and the MCM 30 adjusts
the output current automatically.
Current Mode - Where the current is fixed to a predefined level and the MCM 30 adjusts
the output voltage automatically until the maximum output voltage of 30KV is reached. If
the LED is FLASHING in normal operation this indicated that the MCM 30 is unable to
reach the desired current set point and the output voltage is at the MCM 30’s maximum
level. This could indicate that the charging applicator requires service or the current level
has not been properly set for the charging requirements of the material.
OUTPUT DISPLAY -
10 green LED “bar graph” that indicates voltage or current output in
the operating state and voltage or current set-points or Address value in the Setup state.
OVERLOAD -
The Red LED illuminates when the output current exceed the maximum
current capability of the MCM 30. This is typically due to a short circuit on the HV output,
or when the charging applicator exceeds the output current capability of the MCM 30. The
Overload LED is a non-latching condition that does not shut off the High Voltage output.
FAULT –
Red LED that illuminates when there is a persistent Overload (typically greater
than 10 seconds). Fault is a latching condition that shuts off the HV output. To clear a
Fault, power (ether power switch or power input) must be cycled off then on.
REMOTE PROGRAM –
Green LED that illuminates when Remote Program is Enabled (i.e.
position 7 is connected to position 11 on the terminal block.)
