DESCRIPTION

The Linear Ion Bar Systems have been designed to

effectively eliminate localized static charges which exist

in the work area.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your controller and bars were carefully packed at the

factory in a container designed to protect it from

accidental damage. Nevertheless, we recommend

careful examination of the carton and contents for any

damage. If damage is evident, do not destroy the carton

or packing material. Immediately notify the carrier of a

possible damage claim. Shipping claims must be made

by the consignee to the delivering carrier.

The Air-Assisted Ion Bars are available in several sizes.

There are 4 Controller options, and several accessory

items. See the following table for the list of available

item numbers.

INSTALLATION

I. Install the controller console on or near the target

area. It must be close enough to connect to the

Ion Bar.

II. Locate and attach the Ion Bar in a position so that

the air ions are directed toward the target area.

III. Connect clean dry compressed air or gas to bar

air fitting.

IV. Connect the Ion Bar to back of controller console.

V. Plug the console unit into an appropriate electrical

outlet.

NOTES:

1. To connect your air or gas to the Air-Assisted Ion Bar,

supply the air/gas to the bar in a 1/4" flexible plastic

tube, inserting the tube into the red collar air fitting

already installed into one end of the Ion Bar. Be sure to

insert the tube snugly into red collar fitting and that it is

deeply seated. To remove the 1/4" air supply tubing,

simply depress the red collar, push in the tube and then

remove.

2. One SPI controller will power up to 40 emitters. It is

possible to daisy-chain bars together as long as the total

number of emitters does not exceed 40.

3. To permit the power supply console unit to supply

more than 1 Ion Bar, you must obtain and attach a

94250 two to one connector for two bars.

HOW TO USE THE CONTROLLER

There are two adjustments that can be made on the

controller: BALANCE and RATE.

The BALANCE of positive and negative ion output can

be adjusted to increase polarity bias by turning the

BALANCE KNOB, and slowly turning the trim pot

CLOCKWISE to increase positive and decrease

negative ON time pulses OR COUNTER-CLOCKWISE

to increase negative and decrease positive ON time

pulses. The RATE or pulse frequency can be adjusted

down to one pulse per second or up to 5 pulses per

second by SLOWLY TURNING THE RATE KNOB trim

pot clockwise to increase and counter clockwise to

decrease the frequency.

REMEMBER:

It is important to verify calibration after any adjustments

and before using your ionizer around sensitive

electronics. Merely repeat above Balance Verification

steps after all adjustments.

IMPORTANT:

Your IONIZER has been designed to minimize effects of

localized static charges. If your processing involves

generation of considerable static charges you may

need more aggressive equipment. SPI has available a

complete line of ionizers; bench top, overhead and hand

ion guns to meet all ionizing requirements.

in connection therewith.

DISCHARGE TIMES

Recommended air applied: nominal of 2-10 PSI and

max. of 15 PSI.

Measurements are taken with a charged plate monitor

below two consecutive emitters with external air applied

of 5 PSI (nominal).

Pulsing rate is adjustable from 1 to 20 Hz. This will need

to be customized depending on application requirement.

Note:

This data applies to all sizes of the air assisted SPI ion

bars, and is intended to be used as a reference.

Values will vary with environment and particular

application settings.
