Introduction
In many industrial applications static control is so important that there is a need for a
device to indicate that the equipment is working correctly.The Meech Model 900vs2
fulfils this need for Meech AC-powered equipment.
The 900vs2 is a high voltage sensor that connects to the Meech Model 904 or 905
Power Unit and monitors the high voltage output, displaying its status via LED’s.
Description
The best way to continuously monitor the operation of AC static eliminators is
by verification of the high voltage output of the Power Unit. This is because static
elimination equipment that becomes faulty (e.g.when it is dirty or damaged) will draw
higher current from the Power Unit than normal and when the current drawn rises
above 5mA, the 904 or 905 Power Unit will automatically shut down.
(This is a safety feature unique to the Meech Model 904 / 905).The ON/OFF rocker
switch of the 904 or 905 Power Unit illuminates when the unit is connected to the
mains electricity supply. If the high voltage side of the 904 or 905 shuts down as
indicated above, the rocker switch will remain illuminated (showing that the mains
supply is still present) but the static elimination equipment may not be functional.
The 900vs2 has been designed to detect such a condition and display / report this.
