SECTION 4. Installation
CAUTION
The installation of the Power unit, high voltage cable and static bars must
・
be carried out by a trained electrician.
Ionizing needle electrodes are very sharp and can cause considerable
・
physical injury. Please handle Static Bars with care.
Complete all wirings before switching on the power.
・
4.1 Location
Best locations are usually just ahead of place where static charge gives trouble.
・
The material to be neutralized should not be in contact with another surface as it
・
passes the static bar, since static charges cannot be easily neutralized if the object is
not free.
Static bars should be pointing directly towards the object to be neutralized.
・
Static bar should be placed more than 15 mm and less than 50 mm from the object.
・
High efficiency bars can be located further than this. All bars can be efficient at close
distance. In case, the charged object is moving at high speed, make the distance close,
if possible.
Between Static Bars and charged material to be neutralized, there should be no other
・
object.
The bar cannot be cut or bent.
・
CAUTION
A neutralized object is not static-proof. It can get charged again by friction.
・
For a thick object (
0.1 mm), neutralization is necessary on both the
・
＞
surfaces. Two Static Bars will be required, one for each surface.
In case the speed of the object is high, it is better to have more than one
・
bar. The distance between two nearest faces of two bars, placed side by
side should be about 25 mm.

4.2 Mounting
Static bars may be provided with mounting brackets that can be bent and twisted to
・
support them from the frame of the machine or convenient stationary shafts that span
the machine. Studs may also be provided for direct mounting. See the specification
table on page 6 for details.
The case of the Static Bars must be grounded. Grounding resistance should be checked
・
with a tester. It should be
100
. Improper grounding affects neutralization
≦
Ω
performance and could lead to electrical shock hazard.
Do not cover the ionizing points.
・
A Static Bar should not touch the object to be neutralized.
・
CAUTION
Do not twist or bend the bar. Do not put any pressure on it.
・
For installing air bar, please read page 20 and 21.

4.3 High Voltage Cable Installation
CAUTION
The high voltage wiring should be done by a trained technician.
・
The high voltage cable is specially constructed for this product. Do not
・
replace it with any other wire. Life expectancy of high voltage cable is
about 10,000 hours.
Do not turn the Power unit ON until all connections and wiring are
・
completed.
