IQ Easy Speed-T & Hybrid-T
Static Neutralizing Bars
5. OPERATION
The IQ Easy Static Neutralizing Bar performs a self-test which includes illumination
of the two (green and red) indication lights on the static bar. The self-test and power
up of the high voltage supplies occurs before ionization is produced at the emitters.
This takes approximately five seconds after the application of power.
Indicator Lights
Two indicator lights are located on the connector end of the static bar: green and red.
Green
•
A steady green light indicates the static bar is powered and active
•
A flashing green light indicates the HV power supplies are off and the bar is
in standby
•
A brief rapid flickering of the green indicator light indicates the static bar
has received a command from the Control Station
Red
•
A steady red light indicates an internal fault in the static bar
•
A blinking red indicator light indicates a communication failure
With IQ Power Control Station
The operation of the IQ Easy Static Neutralizing Bar can be controlled through the
IQ Power Control Station. In operation, a device icon appears on the Home Page.
Tapping on the device icon opens a Summary page containing information about
the IQ Easy static neutralizing bar, and static sensor bar (if paired). More detailed
information and user editable parameters are available through device tabs. For
information on these details see the Set Up section in this document.
NOTE –
If the static bar presents a premature Clean Bar alarm, this may
indicate the need to calibrate the static bar; see Maintenance for details.
NOTE –
Newly installed IQ Power Static Neutralizing Bars may require
calibration; see Maintenance section for details. Machine frames adjacent
the bar, rollers, etc. may interfere with the ionization process. If the
Ionization Output of a new bar is less than 80%, this may indicate the need
to calibrate the static bar.
Standalone Operation
If an IQ Easy Static Neutralizing Bar is energized without a control station it will
detect a lack of digital communication. In this case it enters the Standalone mode
and switches the communication wiring over to a fault output function. For details
on the fault function see Standalone in the Installation section.
In Standalone mode the IQ Easy Static Bar defaults to Fixed mode for the
ionization. Fixed provides standard operation, with output voltage regulation and a
50/50 balance setting. Normal operation is indicated by a green light on the end of
the bar. If the red indicator lights the bar has an internal fault and service is required.
Standalone mode does not offer a clean bar alarm.
