2. Safety
The units have been designed, built and tested using state-of-the-art engi-
neering, and have left the factory in a technically and operationally safe
condition. If used improperly, the units may nevertheless be hazardous to
personnel and may cause injury or damage. Read the operating instruc-
tions carefully and observe the safety instructions.
2.1 Identification of risks and hazards
Possible risks and hazards resulting from the use of the units are referred
to in these operating instructions by the following symbols:
Warning!
This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations
which, if carried out improperly, may result in serious personal injuries.
Caution!
This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations
which, if carried out improperly, may result in damage to property.
Ex Warning!
For units with EX approval only.
This symbol denotes the special conditions which must be observed when
operating the system in explosion hazard areas as specified in the EX
approvals.
2.2 Contact protection
The site of installation and/or use of the units is outside the control of
Eltex, contact protection against inadvertent contact of the bars and of live
components by personnel as specified by the employer’s liability insu-
rance association may have to be provided (e.g. DGUV V3 in Germany).
Contact protection devices made of conductive material must be
grounded.

Ex!

BA-en-3041-2008_PC 13
2.4 Proper Use
The POWER CHARGER PC high voltage generator has been approved
as operating voltage generator for the appropriate Eltex charging bars. It
must be operated only with the appropriate Eltex bars (see chapter Instal-
lation and Assembly for bar models).
If the unit is used in any other high voltage application, the manufacturer´s
warranty covers the safe use in terms of technical safety.
The manufacturers will not assume any liability and warranty if the units
are used improperly or used outside the intended purpose.
Modifications or changes made to the devices are not permitted.
Use only original Eltex spare parts and equipment.
2.5 Work and operational safety
Warning!
Carefully observe the following notes and the complete Chapter 2
"Safety”, page 12!
Always observe the rules and regulations applying in your country with
reference to electrical appliances.
• Before installation, carrying out repairs, cleaning or maintenance work
and before resetting the unit after malfunctions, switch off the high vol-
tage generator and disconnect the mains power supply on all units and
associated components (see Chapter 3 "Installation”, page 17, Chapter
5 "Maintenance”, page 63, Chapter 6 "Troubleshooting”, page 64).
• If electrically conductive substrates or substrates coated with conduc-
tive material (e.g. metal foil or metal composites) are used, the dis-
charging voltage of the generator must be switched.
• Before carrying out any work involving the units, the machine which has
the units fitted must not be in operation (see Chapter 3 "Installation”,
page 17, Chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 63, Chapter 6 "Troubleshoot-
ing”, page 64).
• Any work involving the units must be carried out by qualified electri-
cians (see Chapter 3 "Installation”, page 17, Chapter 5 "Maintenance”,
page 63, Chapter 6 "Troubleshooting”, page 64, Chapter 11 "Battery
change / Decommissioning”, page 83).
• The unit may only be used by qualified personnel trained for explosion
hazard areas.
• A permanent grounding connection must be made and checked via the
ground terminal before the startup of the generator. The ground cable
should have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2and should be routed
with the shortest possible distance to the machine frame. If the length
of the cable is > 0.5 m, the cross section must be at least 2.5 mm2. The
ground connection must be permanently ensured for the entire opera-

14 BA-en-3041-2008_PC
ting time of the generator (see Chapter 3.2 "Ground connection”,
page 18).
• When routing the high voltage cables, observe Chapter 3.3 "Installation
of the high voltage cables”, page 19.
• The high voltage cable must be pushed up to the stop (150 mm) into
the cable inlet! The connecting area of the high voltage cable must be
kept clean (see Chapter 3.5 "Connecting the charging bar to the high
voltage generator”, page 22).
• If no charging/discharging bar is connected to the respective plug con-
nection of the generator, the connection must be closed with the blind
plug provided (see Chapter 3.5 "Connecting the charging bar to the
high voltage generator”, page 22, Chapter 3.6 "Connecting the dis-
charging bar to the high voltage generator”, page 23).
• In applications involving moving bars (e.g. film draw strips), the high
voltage cable must be attached such that there is no cable movement
near the connection zone of the power supply unit (see Chapter 3.5
"Connecting the charging bar to the high voltage generator”, page 22,
Chapter 3.6 "Connecting the discharging bar to the high voltage gener-
ator”, page 23).
• Due to the power consumption of the high voltage generator, the cable
cross-sections should be as large and the cables as short as possible
in order to reduce cable loss (see Chapter 3.8.1 "Connecting the supply
voltage 24 V DC”, page 24).
• The voltage at the individual contacts must not exceed 60 V DC (see
Chapter 3.8.1 "Connecting the supply voltage 24 V DC”, page 24,
Chapter 3.9 "Field bus Interface”, page 25).
• To prevent an interruption of the power supply due to vibrations or other
mechanical influences, Eltex recommends using latched sockets to
connect the power supply cable; see spare part no. 116329 (see Chap-
ter 3.8.2 "Connecting the supply voltage 90 - 264 V AC”, page 25).
• For the variant with CANopen®, a cable suitable for CAN bus networks
with a surge resistance of 120 ohms must be used for both bus leads;
this is the only way to ensure the proper functioning of the CAN network
(see Chapter 3.9.1 "CANopen® (optional)”, page 26).
• Generally, for the interface cables shielded cable should be used; the
shields must be placed on both sides (see Chapter 3.10.1 "Analog
interface Charging”, page 28, Chapter 3.10.2 "Analog interface Dis-
charging”, page 30).
• When using the optional Eltex signal cable CS or the mains cable KN,
the colour markings and the bending radii should be observed when
connecting the individual leads (see Chapter 3.11 "Use of the Eltex sig-
nal cable CS and mains cable KN”, page 31).

BA-en-3041-2008_PC 15
• Check the high voltage generator, all connected units, the electrical
wiring and the high voltage cables at regular intervals for any damage.
Any damaged components must be repaired or replaced before conti-
nuing to operate the unit, or the appropriate units must be disabled.
• Make sure that the bars are clean at all times. Dirt on the bars may
cause malfunctions and premature wear of the devices.
• Please note that for variants with active discharging and corresponding
parameterization of the discharge mode as “active”, the hardware
release for discharging must always precede the release for charging
(see Chapter 4.3 "Releasing the high voltage”, page 41).
• When cleaning the bars do not soak the bars in solvent and do not
damage the emission tips; allow the solvent to evaporate completely
before restarting the unit (see Chapter 5 "Maintenance”, page 63).
• The IP54 protection class applies only if the lid of the enclosure is
closed and the cable entries are covered.
• Before opening the generator, switch it off and disconnect all plug con-
nectors and cables (see Chapter 11 "Battery change / Decommission-
ing”, page 83).
• The operation of the bars can generate ozone. The ozone concentra-
tion levels developing near the bars depend on many different factors
such as site of installation, bar current and voltage, air circulation, etc.,
and can therefore not be specified in general terms.
If the maximum allowable concentration of ozone must be observed at
the site of installation of the bar, the concentration must be measured
on site.
The AGW value (maximum admissible concentration) serves to assess
the ozone concentration at the workplace. The user must make sure
that the appropriate national AGW value is at no times exceeded, e.g.
in Germany the ozone concentration occurring during the operation of
the system must not exceed the recommended value based on interna-
tional limits of 0.06 ml/m³ (0.12 mg/m³).
•Static on personnel
Static charges on personnel are unlikely if the bars are installed proper-
ly. Personnel must wear conductive footwear.
Please note all national regulations regarding electrostatic charge (e.g.
TRGS 727 in Germany).

16 BA-en-3041-2008_PC
Information on performance level applications:
• The 24 V DC power supply to be used must be tested according to the
EN 60950-1 or EN 62368-1 standard / must meet the applicable PELV
(protective extra low voltage) or SELV (safety extra low voltage)
requirements (see Chapter 3.8.1 "Connecting the supply voltage 24 V
DC”, page 24, Chapter 8 "Technical Specifications POWER CHARGER
PC_ _”, page 77).
• A redundant release signal is required if the generator must comply
with the safety requirements of DIN EN 13849. To this end, the two
signals “Release +” and “Release -” must be transmitted via separate
switching paths; hardwiring of the two release signals +/- is prohibited
(see Chapter 3.10.1 "Analog interface Charging”, page 28, Chapter
3.10.2 "Analog interface Discharging”, page 30).
• Release analog interface
Be sure to connect the signals properly to avoid damaging the genera-
tor. Always use shielded cables as interface cables; the shield must be
contacted at both ends (see Chapter 3.10.1 "Analog interface Charg-
ing”, page 28, Chapter 3.10.2 "Analog interface Discharging”, page 30).
• The enable signals for charging / discharging must be switched off at
least once a year for 400 ms or longer so that errors in the enabling
logic may be detected.
• The charging / discharging bars must be cleaned at least once a week
to ensure that they function properly (see Chapter 4.3 "Releasing the
high voltage”, page 41).
• The voltage at the input plugs of the 24 V DC supply voltage, the ana-
log interfaces for charging and discharging and the field bus interfaces
must not exceed 60 V DC (see Chapter 3.8.1 "Connecting the supply
voltage 24 V DC”, page 24, Chapter 8 "Technical Specifications
POWER CHARGER PC_ _”, page 77).

3. Installation
3.1 Assembly of the high voltage generator
The unit is designed for wall mounting. Attach the unit using the assembly/
mounting brackets supplied with the unit. When mounting the unit make
sure that the operating elements and the connector terminals remain
accessible and that control of the unit is not impaired.
The site of installation must be dry and free of dust, if possible. Air circula-
tion must not be obstructed.

Mounting position
Chapter 5 "Installation of the high voltage generator, vertical” and Chapter
6 "Installation of the high voltage generator, horizontal” show the two per-
mitted mounting positions. Please note that the specified ambient tempe-
rature must not be exceeded at any time on any side of the housing.
3.2 Ground connection
Attention!
A functioning ground connection must be ensured during the entire ser-
vice life of the generator. The ground cable should have a minimum cross
section of 1.5 mm2and and should be routed with the shortest possible
distance to the machine frame. A cross section of 2.5 mm2is required for
cable lengths exceeding 0.5 meters. Eltex recommends using the ground
cable supplied with the generator.
Ground terminal
Insert the ground cable into the side slot of the open terminal until it pro-
jects from the opposite side. Then tighten the integrated safety screw of
the terminal up to the stop (5 Nm).

3.3 Installation of the high voltage cables
• A minimum bending radius of 10 times the external diameter must be
maintained when routing the high voltage cable.
• The high voltage cables must not be attached with metal clips.
• Do not route the cable over sharp edges (bending radius <5 mm).
• Keep a minimum spacing of 50 mm between low voltage and high
voltage cables; if this cannot be done, shield the low voltage cable.
• If the high voltage cables are led through bores in conductive, grounded
materials, the minimum bore diameter D is calculated as follows from
the wall thickness of the material:
Bore hole diameter D (mm) = 60 mm² / wall thickness (mm)
E.g. wall thickness 2 mm: D = 60 mm² / 2 mm = 30 mm
Allow the biggest possible radius for the edges of the bore hole. Use an
insulating grommet to centre the cable.
• If ungrounded and conductive objects are placed near (2m) the high
voltage cable, influenced charges and sparking must be expected.
Proper ground connection is therefore important.
• In applications using movable bars (e.g. film draw strips), route the high
voltage cables such that there is no cable movement near the connec-
tion point to the generator.
