Introduction
The Hyperion 924 IPS is a compact pulsed DC ionising bar. It is used to control static
electric charges in short range applications (20-150mm). An integral 7.5kV pulsed DC
power supply allows for easy installation on printing,
converting and packaging machinery. Requiring only a 24V DC supply, the 924 IPS
removes the need to route high-voltage cabling through the machine.
In most installations the default settings of the bar will provide exceptional static
control. The local LED indicator shows the operational status of the bar and advises
when the bar requires cleaning.
Demanding installations can take advantage of the adjustable output of the 924 IPS.
Using the optional Hyperion BarMaster remote programmer, the frequency, balance
and voltage output can be optimised to suit the application. Additionally, the lon
Current alarm setting can be changed to guarantee the required performance levels
on critical processes.
The Hyperion BarMaster remote programmer is available for purchase from the Meech
network: Visit www.meech.com to nd your nearest Meech ofce or distributor for
further product information.

Unpacking And Inspection
Your Hyperion 924IPS 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.

Features and Benets of Hyperion 924IPS
Low voltage wiring and Integrated Power Supply
The 924IPS is powered by 24V DC via a 4-pin M8 Connector.
Shockless Emitters
The Titanium emitter pins on the 924IPS are resistively coupled to the high voltage
supply. This avoids sparking and operator shocks.
Sealed Construction
IP66 construction allows the bar to be mounted in areas subject to occasional wash-
down or spillage. If the bar does become wet it must be thoroughly dried before being
powered-up.

6
Clean Pin Alert LED
The local LED ashes constant green to indicate that the bar is on and working
correctly. Red ashing LED shows that bar is dirty and needs cleaning. Solid red
illumination indicates a fault with the high voltage output.
Green constant – OK
Green ashing – BarMaster remote programmer connected
Red ashing - Cleaning required
Red constant - Fault
Clean Pin Alert and Fault Output
An output signal indicates when the bar 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
Divider
The 924IPS is designed to operate in dirty, factory environments. To maximise the
interval between cleaning the bar features a divider to increase the surface tracking
distance between the two rows of high voltage pins. It is important to clean this area
during cleaning operations.
T-Slot
The bar is mounted using the T-Slot at the rear of the bar. M4 T-bolts supplied with the
bar maybe positioned to suit convenient mounting points.

8
Installation
Mechanical Installation
The 924 is a short to mid-range bar. Dependent on the application, the bar will be
mounted between 20mm and 150mm from the target surface.
The bar should be mounted securely, using all the M4 T-bolts provided with the bar.
Correct positioning of the bar is vital for effective static control. There must be no
metallic objects or obstruction between the bar and the material. The diagram shows
the area that should be kept clear.
Where xlengths are equal.

9
When installed at short range over a web or sheet, the bars must be positioned away
from surfaces and rollers, as shown in the following diagrams.
Your Meech distributor will be able to assist with questions regarding positioning of
your equipment.
Electrical Installation
WARNING
The 924IPS requires a grounded 24V DC supply. The 0V line must be connected to
ground. Failure to do so, will result in damage to the bar or the 24V supply.

Connection using Meech 24V DC power supply
The switchmode power supply has a standard IEC C5 mains socket and a 2000mm
HT cable to M8 Connector. A break-out wire from the switchmode power supply
provides the Clean Pin Alert output signal.
Ensure The voltage supply is grounded to reduce the risk of damaging the 924.

11
Connection using customer’s own power supply:
It is the customer’s responsibility to check that either the 24V power supply they will
be using is grounded.
The 24V supply should be protected with a 1 Amp fuse.
Clean Pin Alert - Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring of the need to clean the bar is provided by the output signal on
pin 2. 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 the output can be set to Normally Open
(factory default) or Normally Closed.

Operation
Having connected the M8 connector to the bar, power up the 24V supply and check
for a green constant LED on the bar. This indicates that the bar is running correctly
with a good ion output.
Caution
Always turn off the 24V supply before connecting or disconnecting the M8 connector.
Failure to do so could result in stored charges giving a small electric shock.
Setting the Rate
The 924IPS features a variable output frequency. The frequency that should be set
depends on the ionising product and the distance to the target object.

Maintenance
Ionising bars become contaminated with usage. Dirt build-up on the body of the
ioniser and, particularly on the pins, will cause a drop in performance. To get the
best from your bar, it should be cleaned as part of regular machine maintenance.
If regular cleaning is not carried out, the bar will detect the drop in performance
and trigger the Clean Pin alert. The LED will ash red and the output signal will be
activated.
Before cleaning, ensure that the equipment is switched off.
Emitter pins can be cleaned very effectively with a brush. A dry toothbrush is ideal.
Make sure the central divider is also cleaned and the pin surface of the bar.

Ionising bars 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.
Let dry for a minute and turn back on.

Troubleshooting
Solid Green LED In normal operation the LED on the bar will ash Green.
This indicates that the bar is operating correctly with good
ionisation performance.
No LED Meaning No power to bar
Action Check 24V Power Supply over pins 1 and 3.
(Brown and Blue wires)
Flashing Green LED Meaning BarMaster remote programmer is connected.
Action After programming, reconnect directly to the
power supply to resume normal operation.
Flashing Red LED Likely cause Contamination causing a drop in performance.
Action Switch off power supply and clean as
described in Maintenance section.
Turn power on and Check for Green ashing
LED
Solid Red LED Likely Cause Abnormal output current detected
Action Check installation for metallic objects on the
emitter pins
Should the solid red LED persist, contact your
Meech distributor.
