2. Safety
Safety Concepts
TheFraserIONFIXCompact isa high-voltageswitched-modepowersupply. Ithas beendesigned
inaccordance withthe safetyrequirements ofEN 62368-1:2014(Audio/video,information and
communicationtechnology equipment,Part1: Safetyrequirements). Thisstandard isharmonised under
theEU LowVoltageDirectiveand recognisedbyUL.
Thehigh-voltageoutputofthegeneratorisaClass2electricalenergysource,asdefinedinEN62368
1:2014.This meansthat itis capableof causingpain ifcontact ismade witha bodypart, butis notlikely
tocause aninjury requiringmedical attention.
Thedimensions ofthe industry-standardhigh-voltageoutputconnectorsaresuchthattheymaynot be
consideredto provideinsulationbetweenabodypartandtheoutersurfaceoftheconnector.
Thegeneratormust thereforebe usedonly byinstructedpersons,asdefinedinEN62368-1:2014.An
instructedperson issomeone whois instructedor supervisedbyaskilledpersonwithregardtohazards
posedbyelectricalenergysources.
Ifthe generatoristo beoperatedbyordinarypersons, itmust beinstalled insuch amanner thatthe high
voltageoutputconnectorsarenotaccessibleinnormaloperation,forexamplebymountingwithinan
enclosureor providingappropriateguards.
AC-powered generator variant
Theuser-accessible remoteinterfacing circuitsof thegeneratorare isolatedfrom mainsvoltagesbyan
AC-DCpowersupplyunitconformingtotherequirementsofEN60950.
Warning:TheAC-poweredvariantoftheIONFIXCompactcontainspotentiallylethal
voltages.Disconnectthemainssupplyandwait5minutesallowedforstoredenergywithin
themains powersupply unitto beautomatically discharged.
DC-powered generator variant
Warning:The negativepoleof the24 VDC supplyprovidedtothegeneratormustbe
permanentlyearthed.
Safety Warnings
• Installationand maintenancework onthe generatormustonly becarried outbysuitably
qualifiedpersonnel.
• Theprotectiveearthing(PE)terminalofthegeneratormustbepermanentlyconnected
tothe mainearthing terminalof theelectrical installationbyaconductorofatleast
1.5mm2cross-sectional area.
• Disconnectthe powersupply beforeperforming anyinstallationandmaintenancework
onthe generatororelectrodes.
• Connectonly approvedchargingaccessories tothe highvoltageoutputsofthegenerator.

3. Use and Operation
TheFraserIONFIXCompact isa controlledhigh-voltagepowersupplydesignedtopowercharging
electrodesprovidingtemporaryadhesionbetweenmaterialsinindustrialapplications.
TheIONFIX Compacthas simplefront-panel controlsallowing theoutput voltagetobesetprecisely
tomatch theprocess requirements.The outputcurrent iselectronically limited,and thislimit maybe
reducedif necessaryto suitthe particularapplication.
TheIONFIX Compacthas aremote controlinterface, providingremoteswitchingofthehigh-voltage
outputand remotesetting ofthe outputvoltage.Overloadorfault conditionsare alsosignalled onthis
interface,allowing remotemonitoring ofthe generator.
Theunique flexiblepowercontrolfeatureofthegeneratorallows itto provideahigheroutputcurrentat
lowervoltages,maintainingfullchargingpowerovera widerrangeofoutputvoltages.

4. Installation
Checking on delivered equipment
Theequipment leavesourfactory insuitable protectivepackaging.Please checkthat itis undamaged
whenit arrives.
Ifthere isvisible damagecontact thesupplier immediately.
Checkthat theparts whichhavebeen deliveredarethe sameas youhaveordered.
Front panel rotation
Thefront paneldisplayandcontrolsofthegeneratormayberotatedby180°in orderto accommodate
differentmounting orientations.
Torotatethe displayfrom‘desktop’to‘wall-mounted’ orientation,follow thesteps below:
1. Ensurethe generatorisswitched offand disconnectedfrom itspower supply(24 Vor mains
connectionisolated andremoved).
a. ACvariant:Allow 5minutes forstored chargeto dissipatebefore openingcover.
2. Removethe8 M4x 8mm screwssecuring thelid ofthe generatorusinga 3mmhexkeyor
driver.Disconnect theearthing connectionfrom thelid.
3. Removethe2 M3screws securingthe frontpanel assemblyto thegeneratorchassis
(underneaththe generator).
4. Undothe 4M3 x15 mmthreaded spacerssecuring thedisplayandcontrolassemblytothe
generatorfrontpanel, usinga 5.5mm spanner.
5. Rotatethe displayandcontrolassemblyby180°. Ensurethat theflexiblecableconnectingthe
displayandcontrolstothemainPCBdoesnotbecometrappedor kinked.
6. Securethe displayandcontrolassemblyinitsneworientation,thenre-fitthefrontpanel
assemblyto thegeneratorchassis.
7. Re-connectthe earthingwire tothe generatorlid,replace thelid andsecure usingthe 8M4
screws.
Mounting
Thegeneratoris providedwithmountingbracketstoallowmountingtoawallorpanel,underatableor
shelf, etc.Use onlythe hardwareprovided(M5 x10 mm)to affixthe mountingbracketstothe generator.
Ifwall-mounted, usefixings suitablefor thewall materialand generatorweightto securethe
generator.Ensure thatthe generatorissecurely mountedand thatall mountingfasteners
havebeentightened beforeuse.
