Chargemaster Pinner-LP
7. MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance tasks.
CAUTION! Electrical Shock Hazard
De-energize all power supplies and lock out, if possible, before performing any
maintenance tasks.
Cleaning Emitter Pins
Dust or dirt around the emitter pins will reduce the effectiveness of the Pinner-LP Bar. The
bar must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from accumulating:
1. De-energize all power supplies before performing any maintenance tasks.
2. The cleaning brush supplied with the bar should be used periodically to keep the
emitter pins clean and prevent deposits form accumulating.
NOTE:
Never use hard or sharp objects to scrape emitter pins. Pins must remain
sharp, clean, and clear of debris for optimal performance
Troubleshooting Electrical Stress
• Electrical stress can occur between the bar and a ground reference beneath the
target material. This stress typically occurs at edges of material being charged
and comes from the ion emitter points at the end of the Charging Bar. Eliminate
this stress by gradually reducing the operating voltage from the power supply.
Troubleshooting Electrical Arcing
• If electrical stress occurs between the bar and frame member on which the bar is
mounted, the bar may be improperly mounted. Verify that all equipment has been
properly mounted and grounded.
• If electrical stress occurs from the end of the bar to the side frame of the
machine, slide the bar away from the side frame if possible. If it is not possible
to do this, it may be necessary to install an arc shield, please call your Simco-Ion
representative for more details.
