Introducon
The Hyperion 233v4 Pulsed DC Controller is a compact and powerful 15kV
controller. It was principally designed to directly power two Meech pulsed DC
ionisers. If more ionisers are required, they can be connected via spliers.
The versality and exibility of the 233v4 make it suitable to use in a wide
range of industries. Installaon and set up of the controller are easily
achieved.
The 233v4 features all the adjustability and monitoring that you would
expect from a Hyperion product. Fully BarMaster and SmartControl Touch
compable, the output voltage, frequency and balance can all be adjusted
to suit parcularly dicult applicaons. The adjustable output voltage
is parcularly useful in very sensive applicaons such as those found in
cleanroom environments.
The Hyperion BarMaster remote programmer and SmartControl Touch are
available for purchase from the Meech network: Visit www.meech.com to
nd your nearest Meech oce or distributor for further product informaon.

Features and Benets of the 233v4 Pulsed DC
Controller
Overall look
The Hyperion 233v4 is a compact pulsed DC controller. It is constructed of
DuraForm PA (Nylon 12) with dimensions of 46 x 93 x 129mm.
High Voltage Output
The 233v4 has an adjustable output voltage from 2kV to 15kV. The 233v4
will be congured to suit the type of installaon and the type of ionising
equipment connected to it.
Low Voltage Wiring
The 233v4 is powered by 24V DC via a 4-pin M8 Connector, used throughout
the Hyperion range. This greatly simplies installaon; avoiding the need to
route high voltage cables from a remote high voltage power supply.

6
Clean Pin Alert LED
The 233v4 has 6 modes. The local LED illuminates either red, green or amber
to indicate it’s current operaon.
Below are the 6 modes for the LED status:
 Green Connuous - HT on
 Green Flashing - HT on, BarMaster connected
 Amber Connuous - Standby mode (remote control)
 Amber Flashing - Standby mode (remote control), BarMaster
connected
 Red Connuous - HT failure alarm
 Red Flashing - Clean pin alarm
Clean Pin Alert and Fault Output
An output signal indicates when the ionisers needs cleaning or when a fault
has been detected. The signal is 0V/24V output on pin 2.
By default: Bar OK = 24V
Bar needs cleaning (or fault detected) = 0V
If required the signal can be inverted to give OK = 0V, Cleaning Required = 24V
using a Barmaster Remote Programmer.

7
Remote Signal
In the case of the Clean Pin Alert signal, the Cleaning Alert LED will acvate.
This can be monitored remotely to alert the operator to aend to the
controller.
Sealed Construcon
IP67 construcon allows the controller to be mounted in areas subject to
wash-down or spillage.
WARNING
This equipment must be grounded /earthed via the mains cable. Failure
to do so can result in damage to the unit.

8
Installaon
Installaon and connecon should be completed by a qualied electrical
engineer.
Install the 233v4 in a dry, well venlated area. Allow sucient space for the
cables on the right hand side of the unit.
Mount the unit using the holes provided.

Electrical Installaon
WARNING
The 233v4 requires a grounded 24V DC supply. The 0V line must be
connected to ground. Failure to do so, will result in damage to the ioniser or
the 24V supply and will void the warranty.
A grounding post on the controller is provided for this purpose. Meech
recommend that, for certainty, the controller is grounded using this post, in
addion to using a grounded 24V DC supply.

Connecon to the 233v4 is via an M8 4 Pin connector. With the following pin-
outs:

2 White Output Clean pin 0V/24V
3Blue Input 0V/ Ground
4Black Output HT Failure 0V/24V
For the rst 60 seconds of start-up, the unit is in communicaons mode and
will output 24V on both alarm lines.
Aer 60 seconds, both alarm lines revert to being used for alarm purposes.

11
Connecon using Meech 24V DC power supply
Meech 24V DC supplies are grounded internally. It is important that the mains
connecon oers a ground connecon. Two-pin outlets without a ground
connecon must not be used, unless the ground post on the 233v4 controller
is connected to ground.
The Meech switchmode power supply has a C5 socket and a 2000mm cable to
an M8 Connector. A break-out wire from the power supply provides the Clean
Pin Alert output signal.
Note: The 233v4 does not come with a 24V DC power supply and must be
ordered seprately.
Connecon using customer’s own power supply:
It is the customer’s responsibility to check that the 24V power supply they will
be using is grounded. If it is NOT grounded they must check that grounding it
via the ground post on the 233v4 controller will not aect any other systems
running from that power source.
The 24V supply should be protected with a 1 Amp fuse.

12
Dual Alarm Alert - Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring of the need to clean the bar is provided by the output signal on
pin 2 (white) and fault alert is provided on pin 4 (black). The signal is 0V-24V suitable
for direct connection to a PLC input. The output impedance of the signal is 10kΩ. The
output can also be congured to power an external relay to provide volt-free contacts
for other monitoring systems.
Using a BarMaster remote programmer or SmartControl the output can be set
to Alarm True = Lo (Normally Open) which is factory default or Alarm True = Hi
(Normally Closed).
NOTE: Make sure that BarMaster is not connected when using the dual alarm
remote monitoring feature.
Alarm Pins
Pin-2 (White) This pin is used to report when the HV output of the equipment
needs cleaning. This is considered as a warning signal. The LED
pattern on the unit is ashing red.
Pin-4 (Black) This pin is used to report when the HV output of the equipment is
critically low. This is considered as a serious fault. The LED pattern
on the unit is solid red.

13
Alarm Logic Level
This is given by the conguration of the “Alarm True” setting using the BarMaster.
Alarm True = hi
This means the logic on both the alarm pins is active high.
Alarm True = lo
This means the logic on both the alarm pins is active low.

14
Output Drive
There are 3 di󰀨erent output drive options which are designed to fulll the vast majority
of user requirements and to allow easy integration to PLC equipment.
Option 1 - NPN
Transistor-driven switch which presents a pull-up resistor to 24VDC on the alarm pin.
This conguration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4).

Note: On unit power-up, both alarm pins remain in Hi state for up to 60 seconds
before these are used as alarm pins.
2.2kΩ

Option 2 - PNP
Transistor-driven switch which presents a pull-down resistor to GND on the alarm pin.
This conguration is the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4).

Option 3 - N+P
This option presents the combination of both of the previous cases, NPN and PNP,
however, the alarm lines are hard-driven to either 24VDC or GND.This conguration is
the same for both alarm pins (pin-2 and pin-4).

Operaon
Geng Started
The 233v4 must be congured to suit the installaon and the ionising
equipment connected to it. Before you receive your 233v4, Meech, if
required, will preset the controller to suit your applicaon. This includes
applying basic sengs of the output power, rate and balance as well as alarm
funconality and the lock opon.
Note: If you are using it with a 971 ionising bar it will be preset to 15KV.
To change these sengs you will need a BarMaster or SmartControl Touch
and to follow the instrucons below.
Seng the Start Voltage and Ion Output Set Point
During installaon and commissioning, two parameters must be set correctly
to allow opmum performance:
1. Voltage Output. The correct start voltage must be set, depending on the
ioniser connected to the 233v4. The correct output voltages for Meech
ionisers are:
971 15 kV
242 10 kV
251 9 kV
261v2 9 kV
271/272/273 9 kV
976 Head 9 kV
976 Mini 9kV
2. Ion Output Set Point: This is the target Ion Output as measured when the
system is clean.

18
 This value should only be set when the ionisers have been cleaned,
otherwise the performance of the system will be reduced.
During use, ionisers become contaminated which reduces their performance.
Seng the Rate
The 233v4 features a variable output frequency. The frequency that the
233v4 should be set to depends on the ionising product and the distance to
the target object.
Frequency Rate (Hz)
Suggested Frequency Vs Operang Distance for 971/233v4
Ionising Nozzles:
Ionising Nozzles and Air Guns (251,261,271) should be used from 10 to 20 Hz.

19
Seng the Balance
The output of the 233v4 can be biased to negave or posive. The
adjustment changes the percentage of me that each HT output is switched
on. The maximum bias is 80% to either posive or negave.
50% posive 80% negave
Changing the balance of the output changes the relave amount of posive
and negave ions produced by the ioniser. With the help of a stac locator
the balance can be adjusted for more accurate neutralisaon of the target
material.
To set the balance see BarMaster secon (page 19).
Seng the Alarm Point
The 233v4 features an adjustable alarm that will alert the operator when the
Ion Output of the ionising system falls below a desired level or when a system
fault is detected.
To alert the operator to the need for cleaning, the 233v4 will trigger the LED
to ash red.
The alarm point is set as a percentage of maximum Ion Output. An inial
value of 35% is recommended.
To set the Alarm Point see BarMaster secon (page 21) or the SmartControl
Touch manual.

20
Input/Output Connecons
Remote On/O
The output of the 233v4 can be turned on and o remotely via the 3 pin
female socket located on the connecon panel.
A 3 pin M8 connecon to volt-free contacts will allow the 233v4 to be
switched on when the contacts are made.
