1. Introduction

6© Fraser Anti-Static Techniques Ltd 2020
TheXIFOS33barhasbeendesignedinaccordancewiththesafetyrequirements
ofEN62368-1:2014.ThisIEC-derivedstandardisharmonisedundertheEULow
VoltageDirectiveandrecognisedbyUL.
• Theemitterpinsareresistivelycoupledtothehighvoltagesupplies.Theemitters
areaClass1electricalenergysource,asdefinedinEN62368-1:2014.Contact
withtheemittersisnotpainfulandwillnotresultinelectrically-causedinjury,but
maycauseadetectablesensationduetothesmallcurrentwhichwillflow.
• AswithallpulsedDCstaticeliminators,itispossiblefortheusertoreceivea
smallstaticshockasaresultoftheirbodybeingchargedbythebar,andthen
dischargingtoanearbyearthedobject.Thisisnotdangerous,butmaybe
uncomfortableandcausesurprise.
• Theemitterpinsofthebararenecessarilysharp.TheemitterpinsareaClass2
mechanicalenergysource,asdefinedinEN62368-1:2014.Contactwith
themmaybepainful,butwillnotcauseaninjuryrequiringemergencymedical
attention.Takecarewhenhandlingthebar.
• Installationandmaintenanceworkonthebarmustonlybecarriedoutby
suitablyqualifiedpersonnel.
• Thenegativepoleofthe24VDCsupplyprovidedtothebarmustbe
permanentlyearthed.
• Adequateinstallationearth/groundisrequiredtoensuresafeandproper
operation.
• DonotconnectordisconnecttheM12cablefromthebarwhileitispowered.
• Asmallamountofozonewillbeproducedaspartoftheionisationprocess.
Wheninstalledcorrectlythelevelofconcentrationofozoneislessthan0.1ppm
andiswithininternationallyacceptedlimits.
• Anychangestotheequipmentwithoutwrittenconsentofthemanufacturerwill
nullifythewarrantyandcertifications.
• Thebarisintendedforuseinindoorfactoryenvironmentsonly.
Itisnotsuitableforoutdooruse.

3. Positioning of the Bar
Thebestlocationisat,orimmediatelybefore,theareawherestaticiscausingthe
problem.Rememberthatstaticcanberegeneratedifthematerialpassesover
rollersorthroughaprocessafterneutralising.AStaticMetersuchastheFraser715
isusefultodeterminethebestposition.
Important: Except on a winding reel of material (seetheexamplesonthefollowing
page),thematerialtobeneutralisedmustbeinfreeair,nottouchinganother
surfaceasitpassesthebar.Itisnotpossibletoneutralisestaticelectricitywhere
thematerialistouchinganothersurfaceorroller.

Generally,witharewindorunwind,itisdesirabletousealong-rangebartocope
withthechanginggeometrysothatyoucanneutralisethereelfromthecoretothe
nisheddiameterattheendofthewind.
Thereisanoptimumlocationtoneutralisethereel,whichisshownbythefollowing
diagrams.
TheprincipleistoneutralisethelmAFTERitleavesthenalrollerandasitjoins
thereel.
Ifthereisalay-onorcontactroller(C),thebestpositionfortheXIFOS33isonthe
sidewherethelmleavesthelay-onroller-inthiscasetheunderside(A)-because
itcanneutralisethechargeassoonasitiscreated.Ifthisisnotpractical,then
positionthebaronthetopside.(B)

XIFOS33OI-Iss.3-EN
OnacentrewindertheXIFOS33maybepositionedaboveorbelowthereel.Itisa
goodideafortheionisationtobedirectedmainlyatthereel,butalsocatchingthe
singlesheet,asshownat(A).Position(B)isalsoacceptable.
Itisoftennotpossibletoplaceabarintheoptimumposition(A).Thereasonforthis
maybethattheidealbarlocationwouldgetinthewayoftheloading/unloading
processforthereelsorwouldbeinapositionwhereoperatorsmightstandonit.
Inadirtyordustyenvironment,itisbettertoplacethebarfacingdown,sincethe
faceofthebarwillnotbecoveredbythedust.Thisisnotaproblem.Itispossibleto
positionthebaratotherpositions,suchas(B)andstillachieveaverygoodresult.
Wealwayssaythatalmwebmustbein‘freeair’andnottouchingarollerto
achievegoodneutralisation.Thisisbecauseweknowthatthechargeonthe
materialwilltemporarilycombinewiththerollerandnotbeavailableforremoval
bytheeliminator.Thisremainstrue.However,onceyouhaveanumberoflayers
onareelorwinder,allwiththesamepolarityofchargeonthem,thechargecanno
longercombineandcanthereforebeneutralisedlayerbylayer.

• Useallofthe‘T’fixingsprovidedformountingthebar.The‘T’fixingsslideinto
theslotinthebaseofthebar.Whenmountingthebar,the‘T’fixingsmustbe
evenlydistributedalongthelengthofthebar.Donotallowmorethan800mmof
unsupportedbarbetween‘T’fixings.
• Thebarmustbedryandoil-free.
• Onlymountthebarwiththeslottouchingthemachineorthemountingbracket.
• Whenmountingtothemachineoronabracket,makesurenometalextends
beyondtheslotinthebar.Seethediagrambelow.
Note:Longbarsneedcarefulhandlingduringinstallationtoavoiddamage.
Barslongerthan2,000mmmustbehandledbytwopeople.

toavoidsparkerosionthatwilldamageboththebarandthemetalobject.
• Thedistancefromthematerialshouldbe:250-1,500+mm.

7.3 Selecting the Best Setting
ThefactorysettingsfortheXIFOS33areIntelligenceONandDistanceControl
position2.Thisgivesintelligentoperationatmediumdistances.
Thissettingcanbechangedtomeettheactualrequirementsoftheinstallation.
Typicalreasonsforthiscouldbe:
1. Distance
TheXIFOS33intelligencelosessensitivitywithdistance,especiallyifthestatic
chargelevelisnothigh.TheDistancesettingscorrespondtothedistancetothe
objecttobeneutralised.Seethedistancechartforguidance.
2. Installation
IftherearemetalpartsinthetargetareaorclosetotheXIFOS33bar,thesecould
interferewiththesensing-givingitmisleadinginformation.
SeeInstallationinSection4.
3. Intermittent Static Charge
Forexample,ifthetargetisnotcontinuouslypresentthereisnochargetosense.
InthiscaseitcanbebettertoturnoffIntelligenceandjustuseaDistancesetting.
4. Speed of Process
Fastermaterialspeedsbenetfromcloserdistancesandhigherfrequencies.
Asmallamountofexperimentationcanbeneededtoproducethebestperformance
fortheapplication.Usetherotaryswitchcontrolsontheendcaptochangethe

Beforeturningonthebarforthersttime,check:
• Thepositioningandmountingofthebarisinaccordancewiththeinstructions
giveninSection3andSection4ofthisdocument.
• Theelectricalinstallationofthebarhasbeencompletedinaccordancewiththe
instructionsgiveninSection5ofthisdocument.Inparticular,ensurethatthe0V
outputofthe24Vsupplyisconnectedtotheinstallationprotectiveearth.
• IfusingtheexternalAC-DCpowersupply,makesurethatthesupplementary
groundingwireisconnectedtotheinstallationprotectiveearth.
• MakesuretheDistanceandIntelligencecontrolsarecorrectlyset.SeeSection7.
• Anyoperatorswhowillworkincloseproximitytothebarareawareofits
presenceandfamiliarwithitsoperation.
Warning!
Always disconnect the power before working on the bar.
• Cleaningistheonlymaintenancerequired.Dirtaroundtheemitterswillreduce
ionisationeffectivenessandresultinunsatisfactorystaticneutralisation
performance.
• Thefrequencyofcleaningwilldependontheprocessandtheenvironmentin
whichthebarisinstalled.Thebarshouldbecleanedwhen‘CleanMe’isindicated
bytheendcapLEDsand/ortheremotemonitoringinterface.
• OurFrasercleaningkit(PartNo.81220)isidealforuse,alternativelya
toothbrushornailbrushcanbeused.Donotuseawirebrushasthiscould
damagethebar.
• ThebarcanbewashedwithsoapywaterorIsopropylalcohol(IPA),butitmustbe
dryaroundtheemittersbeforeturningthepoweron.
• Pleasenote,whenhandlingandcleaning,thattheemitterpinsaresharpandcare
isneeded!
• Theemitterpinsareshockless-thereisalargeresistorbeloweachemitter
reducingthecurrenttoashocklesslevel.HoweverpleasenotethatDCcurrent
cantransferchargetoabodyifitistouchingorclosetoanemitterforalonger
period.Thiscouldgiveashockwhendischarging.
• TheemittersontheXIFOS33barshouldbereplacedeverytwoyearsorwhen
worn.Pleaseusetheemitterkeysuppliedwiththebartoremove/replace.
