POSITIONINg ThE BAR
The tip of the emitters should be directed straight at the static laden surface. The bar should be
positioned so that it spans the full width of the area or substrate that is to be neutralized. This will
ensure maximum ionization coverage and static neutralization.
For best performance, it is important that there are no non-targeted electrically conductive surfaces in
close proximity of the tips of the emitters. It is best if a minimal free air space of 6" (inch) is maintained
in front of and alongside the emitters and the surface that is to be neutralized. Please note that this is
for
best
performance. The unit will perform and no harm will occur to the system if the 6" buffer can not
be maintained due to tight space limitations.
Once the best location for the bar has been determined and all the proper mounting hardware has been
installed, the bar is ready for installation. Make sure the bar is mounted securely via the studs.
FOR AIR BAR INSTALLATION
The AirBar may be placed up to three feet or more from the static laden material. Note that the Air
Bar extends the neutralizing field and diffuses it over a wider area, however, the length of time for
discharging material is directly proportionate to the distance from the Static Control Bar to the material.
The only additional installation needed for the TAKK AirBar is to connect the air tubes of the Bar to an
air supply using standard air fittings. The bar is fitted with a
1
⁄
4
" quick-disconnect coupler. Use of an
air filter is recommended. Using an air flow regulator, increase air pressure to a point at which static
caused problems are eliminated. Normally a gentle air flow is sufficient.
POWER CABLE CONNECTION
Before connecting the bar to the Power Supply switch the rocker switch to the OFF position or
disconnect the electrical power to the unit. Screw the high voltage connector into either jack of the
Power Supply. Each jack has the same output voltage. Where multiple bars are installed, two bars
can be plugged directly into the Power Supply. Note: If any excess cable has to be coiled do not coil
any tighter than a 6" (inch) diameter coil. Doing so may cause internal damage to the cable and cable
failure. Connect the ground wire to the ground stud located on the power supply.
CAUTION: If the cable is connected or disconnected to the Power Supply when the power is ON there
is the risk of personal shock and/or damage to the Power Supply.
POWER-UP
Once all connections and final installations have been made the system is ready for use. Turn the
switch ON (rock upward toward the enclosure lid). In the ON position the switch will glow red.
MAINTENANCE
With some simple preventive maintenance procedures the Ion Edge Ionization System will give years of
service.
Special care should be taken with the Power Supply and bar as with any sensitive electronic device.
Do not drop or shake the Power Supply or Bar. Avoid mounting the Power Supply or Bar to surfaces
that would have excessive vibration or rapid motion. Always handle the Bar by the body of the Bar and
do not tug or jerk on the power cable.
