USER'S MANUAL FOR ANTI-STATIC BARS

1. Introduction

Read this manual completely before you install and put this product into use.
Follow the instructions set out in this manual to ensure proper operation of the product and to
be able to invoke guarantee.
The guarantee terms are stated in the General Conditions for the Sale and Delivery of Products
and/or Performance of Activities by SIMCO (Nederland) B.V.
This manual applies to the shockproof anti-static bars with a type indication MEB, MEJ,
EP-SH-N, P-SH-N(2), MaxION and MSB-375 and the non-shockproof anti-static bars SS and
QMC.

2. Safety

− The SIMCO 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.
− Electrical installation, maintenance and repairs shall be made by a skilled electrical engineer.
− Do not touch any live points of the SS and QMC bars:
You will get an unpleasant electrical shock.
− When carrying out work on the equipment: de-energise the equipment.
− If changes, adjustments, etc. have been made without prior consent in writing, guarantee can
no longer be invoked for the equipment.

3. Use and operation

The SIMCO 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 high voltage power unit.
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 bars type SS and QMC are linked directly to
the high voltage and accidental contact will cause an unpleasant electrical shock.
