Model 6200HOB Ionizing Air Blower
General Guidelines
•
Make sure that the line voltage used to supply
power to the Staticmaster
®
6200HOB is
correct. It is essential to the performance of
the unit and to the safety of the operator that
the unit is properly grounded. Proper
grounding is accomplished by inserting the
line cord into a mating receptacle equipped
with a known, properly connected ground.
CAUTION: Do not remove the ground
prong from the line cord!
•
Overall, keep the unit clean and free of water,
oil,
grease, and other contaminants that may
cause the unit to short circuit, reduce
efficiency, and shorten the useful life of the
unit.
•
Clean the ionizing points routinely for
optimum performance.
CAUTION: Turn the power off while and
whenever brush cleaning the emitter points.
The length of time between routine cleaning
will vary according to the cleanliness of the
environment. In most applications, a quick
brushing (or blow out with a compressed air
gun) once each month is adequate.
Installation
Initial set-up and Positioning
Proper location and positioning of the
Staticmaster
®
6200HOB is essential to satisfactory
performance and to the life of the equipment.
Because each application is somewhat unique,
careful thought should be given to establish the
best location and installation.
Most of the time, the best place to install any type
of static control equipment is immediately ahead
of the problem. For example, if an operator is
getting shocked from a rewound roll, then the
ionizer should be placed so that the last thing the
material passes before it winds onto the roll is the
ionizer. The advantage of the Staticmaster
®
6200HOB Ionizing Air Blower is that (unlike a
static bar that must be mounted within inches of
the material) it can effectively neutralize an
electrostatically charged material from a distance
of several feet. This means that the material will
be in the effective range of a properly mounted
Staticmaster
®
6200HOB from the time it starts
winding until it is fully wound.
