Installation“ Caution” Notes
Whilst no danger to personnel exists, it is essential that any high voltage ionising
equipment makes no contact with water or water based fluids. High voltage electrical
equipment should not make contact with water. Should such an event occur,
disconnect immediately and return equipment to the manufacturer for inspection.
If the bar is positioned too close to the earth plane, an intense blue haze will be
seen between the emitter pin of the bar and the earth plane. This will cause the High
Voltage DC power supply to trip and switch off. The bar should be repositioned further
away from any earth plane and the High Voltage power supply reset (depress and
release the reset button).
The High voltage system must be disconnected from the mains electrical supply
before any adjustments to the position of the bar are made.
If the unit continues to trip, contact Meech International Head Office or your local
distributor.
As this equipment may give an electrical shock if the pins are touched, the following
procedure must be followed:
The supply voltage of the power supply must be interlocked with the ON/OFF
control of the machine to which the equipment is fitted.
This will ensure that whilst the machine is switched off and thus operatives may
gain access to the machine and our equipment there will be no danger of
operatives receiving shocks.
It is assumed that normal safety barriers are in place on the machine to ensure that
operatives are unable to access the machine and hence our equipment whilst the
machine is switched ON.
For permanently connected equipment, a readily accessible disconnect device shall
be incorporated in the fixed wiring. This disconnect device must have a minimum 3mm
contact separation with appropriate current rating. For plug-able equipment, the socket
outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
