Introduction; Use And Operation; Safety - Simco-Ion MEB Notice D'utilisation

1. Introduction

The Simco-Ion anti-static bars are designed to neutralize the static charge of sheets, webs and
other flat materials.
The anti-static bars may only be used in combination with a Simco-Ion high voltage power unit.

2. Use and operation

The high voltage generates an electrical field at the emitter points of the anti-static bar, which
causes the air molecules around the emitter points to be converted to positive and negative
ions. When an electrostatically charged material comes close to the emitter points, electrons are
exchanged until the material is neutral.
The emitter points of the shockproof anti-static bars type MEB, MEJ, EP-SH-N, P-SH-N(2),
MaxION and MSB-375 are linked capacitively to the high voltage and, therefore, protected
against accidental contact.
The emitter points of the non-shockproof anti-static bar type SS are linked directly to the high
voltage and accidental contact will cause an unpleasant electrical shock.

3. Safety

The following safety guidelines must be observed in order to prevent physical injury and
damage to objects or to the anti-static bar itself.
- Electrical installation must be performed in accordance with the applicable national and local
regulations
- Electrical installation, maintenance and repairs shall be made by a skilled electrical engineer.
- When carrying out work on the equipment: de-energise the equipment.
- High voltages are hazardous for people who have a pacemaker
- Do not touch any live points of the SS bar:
You will get an unpleasant electrical shock.
- The emitter points of the anti-static bars have sharp edges. Danger of injury
- The Simco-Ion anti-static bars are only designed to neutralize static electricity.
- Do not fit non-shockproof bars in an environment with highly inflammable substances.
- Make sure that the equipment is properly earthed.
Earthing is needed to ensure proper operation and to avoid electrical shocks upon contact.
- If changes, adjustments, etc. have been made without prior consent in writing, guarantee can
no longer be invoked for the equipment.
