Introduction
The Meech Model 976EX has been designed to provide highly effective long range
ionisation using Pulsed DC Technology.
The 976EX Bar provides ionisation through alternating positive and negative emitter
pins mounted in a proled extrusion. The emitter pins are resistively coupled to the
high voltage pulsed DC source, rendering the emitters shockless to touch. The emitter
pins are removable to enable cleaning or replacement.
The extruded prole has been designed to enhance emitter life and allow easy
cleaning while giving linear strength. The prole incorporates “T” slots on three faces
to provide universal mounting points. The Meech Model 976EX is powered by the
Meech Pulsed DC Controller.

Unpacking And Inspection
Your Model 976EX Bar was carefully packed at the factory in a container designed to
protect it from accidental damage. Nevertheless, we recommend careful examination
of the carton and contents for any damage. If damage is evident, do not destroy the
carton or packing material and immediately notify the carrier of a possible damage
claim. Shipping claims must be made by the consignee to the delivering carrier.

5
Installation
The Model 976EX Bar should be located in the most convenient position so that the
pins of the Bar are directed towards the target area. The bar should be positioned to
give an unrestricted path for the ions to travel to the target area. It should typically be
between 300mm and 600mm away from the target area.
The bar must be mounted using the brackets provided. The bracket should be
positioned on a maximum 500mm pitch. The M6 bolts must be used to secure the
976EX bar to the machine frame.
The Meech Model 976EX must be connected to the Meech Model 977v3 ( UL Listed)
which must be located outside of any EX zoned area.
The Model 976EX connects to the 977v3 by plugging the male plugs, found at the
end of the Bar cabling, directly into the high voltage sockets of the controller. The
plugs and sockets are marked with “+” positive and “-” negative indicators for correct
connection to the power supply.

6
POWER, INPUT AND OUTPUT (I/O) WIRING MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CLASS 1, DIVISION 2 WIRING METHODS ARTICLE 501.10(b) OF THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE , NFPA 70.
A) THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS 1, DIVISION 2,
GROUP D OR NON HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ONLY
B) WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY
IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS 1, DIVISION 2
C) WARNING - EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT
UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO
BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
Connect the mains supply to the Pulsed DC Controller and switch ON. The 976EX Bar
will now produce Pulsed DC ionisation from the emitters of the Bar.
The shockless emitter pins produce ions of positive and negative polarity. These,
because of the product’s unique design, propel themselves away from the emitter
points towards the target area.
Optimum static elimination can be achieved by adjustment of the “Rate” (frequency of
pulsing) and the “Balance” ( proportion of positive to negative ions generated) on the
Controller.

7
If the bar is positioned a long distance from the target area ( 600mm-750mm) the Rate
should be set to the lowest setting. If the bar is positioned close to the target area
(150mm -300mm) the rate should be set towards its maximum.
If the polarity of the static charge to be removed is known the Balance can be adjusted
to give a faster decay speed.
I.E. a) If the static charge is known to be positive the balance should
be adjusted towards negative on the Controller.
b) If the static charge is known to be negative the balance should
be a adjusted towards positive on the Controller.

8
Special Conditions for Safe Use
1. The 976EX eliminator bar shall be used in conjunction with either Meech Type
977v3 or Type 977HL power supplies.
2. The power supply must be protected by a fuse capable of withstanding a
prospective short circuit current of 4000A
3. The bar shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions
for model 976EX.
4. The bar is suitable for installation only in areas where there is a low risk of impact
damage.
5. The plastic conduit must be securely clamped within 100mm of the bar.
6. The user must determine, in consultation with Meech, the suitability of the
apparatus for use with particular solvents.
7. When used in dust environments, the equipment may not be used in association
with dusts having an electrical resistance equal to or less than 103Ω.m.
8. When used in dust environments, the equipment may be used only with dusts
requiring an ignition energy of greater than 0.06mJ.

9
Maintenance
Cleaning your Meech Ioniser
Ionisers require periodic cleaning. During normal operation, dirt will build-up on
the emitter pins and upon the body of the ioniser. This will cause a reduction in
performance.
Typically, weekly cleaning is sufcient. However, equipment used in some heavy
contamination areas, such as gravure printing or where plastic fumes are present, may
require daily cleaning. Equally, in a Class 100 area, cleaning may only be required
on a monthly basis. Advanced systems with performance monitoring, e.g 977cm and
904cm, will alert the operator to the need to clean the equipment before performance
drops to an unacceptable level.
Before cleaning, ensure that the equipment is switched off.

Emitter pins can be cleaned very effectively with a brush. A dry toothbrush is ideal.
Ionisers will need periodic wiping to clean grey deposits from the surface of the bar. A
cloth moistened with a small amount of IPA or methylated spirits is recommended.
10

Fault Finding
Must only be carried out when the product is in a safe ( non-hazardous) area.
Tests must be completed by a qualied electrical engineer.
If in doubt contact Meech head ofce or your local distributor.
CAUTION: Whilst no danger to personnel exists, it is essential that any high
voltage ionising equipment, (exception Meech Model 910 Water Resistant
Ionising Bars), makes no contact with water or water based uids.
Should such an event occur, disconnect immediately and return equipment to the
manufacturer for water damage assessment.
To verify where a fault may have occurred it is important to test each item of the
system individually. Should more than one bar be connected to a power supply, each
must be tested individually.
To check the Pulsed DC system follow the procedure detailed below:
9. Switch off the electrical supply to the system.
11

10. Disconnect all bars from the controller.
11. Reconnect the supply and switch on the unit.
12

12. Using a high voltage probe ( RS type 610 281 ) and meter ( RS type 610
950 ) measure the voltage on each of the output sockets. The reading should
be at minimum power 4kV and at maximum power 8 kV
13. Having checked the power supply, reconnect one Model 976EX Bar.
14. Using a high voltage probe (RS 610 281) and meter (RS 610 590)
measure the voltage on the pins of the bar. This voltage should be
between 3 and 6kV.
15. If there is more than one bar to test, disconnect the rst item and repeat the
above steps.
13

Repairs And Warranty
The Meech 976EX Bar is warranted by Meech Static Eliminators Ltd. to the original
purchaser against defects in material and workmanship for one year after purchase.
Should any malfunction occur, please return the bar directly to Meech Static
Eliminators or your local Meech Distributor. All products returned to the factory MUST
be accompanied by a return authorisation number and must be shipped prepaid.
For prompt service, ship the unit to the factory with the return authorisation number
shown clearly on the label. Be sure that it is well packed in a sturdy carton with shock
absorbing material.
Include a note stating the nature of the problem as specically as possible, and also
include instructions for returning the bar to you. We will pay one-way return shipping
costs on any repairs covered under the warranty.
Field repairs should not be undertaken during the warranty period. Repair attempts by
unqualied personnel will invalidate the warranty.
