MCM 30 Electrostatic Charging Generator
4. INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Carefully remove the equipment from the carton and inspect the contents.
NOTE -
If any damage has occurred during shipment, notify the local carrier at
once. A report should also be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road,
Hatfield, PA 19440. See Section 9 (Warranty) for Return Shipment information.
Mounting
The MCM 30 charging generator is intended for fixed mounting onto a flat and rigid
surface. Holes in the flanges of the unit enclosure are provided for screw mounting to the
selected surface. The charging generator enclosure may be used as a template to mark
the hole locations onto the surface. The use of #8 or M4 screws, flat washers and nuts
are suggested for the final mounting. Because of the many possible mounting situations,
screw and nut hardware is not included with the power supply. It is recommended that the
unit be positioned so the wiring and charging device cabling exits in a downward direction.
This positioning is preferred to minimize stresses that could kink or pinch the wire and
cable insulation. Allow for wire and cable flex and support wiring if the installation will
be subject to repetitive motion.
Electrical Connections
Connect the charge applicator to the high voltage outlet port using the SLCC (spring
loaded cable connector) on the charge applicator. Hand-tighten connector only.
NOTE –
Keep high voltage wiring and low voltage wiring separated. DO NOT
route high voltage wiring along with low voltage wiring. Intermixing high voltage
wiring with low voltage wiring increases the risk of inductively coupled EMI and
machine malfunction.
NOTE –
Keep high voltage wiring away from sharp edges. Sharp (metal) edges
increase risk of high voltage insulation damage due to electric field concentration.
Sharp edges may also cause insulation cuts and damage leading to insulation burn-
out. Route high voltage wiring away from sharp edges.
Secure the AC adapter in a location suitable for connection to AC line voltage.
Insert the 24 VDC output (+ wire) of the AC adapter or auxiliary power bus into position
#1 of the Interface Terminal Block plug and tighten the clamping screw. Insert the Ground
(return wire) of the adapter or power bus into position #2 of the Interface Terminal Block
plug and tighten the clamping screw. The return wire of the AC adapter is supplied by
Simco-Ion is connected to the AC input line ground and this connection must be connected
to the local electrical machine ground. Where a machine 24VDC power buss is used, the
return wire on Pin 2 must be connected to a local electrical machine ground.
