1. SAFETY WARNINGS
NOTE
– Statements identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary
to avoid potential equipment failure.
CAUTION
– Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential
safety hazards.
NOTE
– This equipment must be correctly installed and maintained.
Adhere to the following notes for safe installation and operation.

2. Only qualified service personnel are to perform installation and repairs.
3. All equipment must be properly grounded, including the machine frame to
which the equipment is mounted.
CAUTION – ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Always disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting static
neutralizing equipment. Avoid touching static neutralizing bar when power
supply is energized.
CAUTION – FIRE HAZARD
Do not install or operate equipment in close proximity to any flammable
solvents.
CAUTION – FIRE HAZARD

2. DESCRIPTION
The S165S and S265S power supplies are designed as a power source for the SM
and RSM shockless static neutralizing bars. This equipment is used to eliminate or
significantly reduce static charges that disrupt manufacturing processes. The high
voltage from the power supply causes the ionizing pins of the static neutralizing bar
to generate both positive and negative ions from surrounding air molecules. The
static charge on the material being processed will attract and combine with the
oppositely charged ions, causing the material to be neutralized. The excess ions
either recombine in air or dissipate to ground.
