Introduction
The Meech BarMaster remote programmer allows you to unlock the full performance
of the range Hyperion bars with Integrated Power Supplies (IPS). Whilst the default
settings of Hyperion IPS bars are suitable for most applications, this unique device
provides adjustment of the output balance and frequency and the clean-pin alert
settings. This allows the bar to be setup precisely for the application it is being used
on.
Temporarily connected in line with the 24V supply to the bar, the settings are adjusted
using simple controls. Once programming is complete, the BarMaster is disconnected.
When the bar is re-powered, it operates at the newly programmed settings.

Unpacking And Inspection
Your Hyperion BarMaster 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.

Product Features
Compatibility The BarMaster can be used to program any IPS
bars in the Hyperion range.
2 metre cable Allows operator to stand a safe distance away
from the machine during programming.
Instrument case Safe, clean storage when not in use

Connection
The BarMaster is connected in line with the ionising bar’s 24V power supply cable.
The power cable is connected to the BarMaster and, in turn, its cable is connected to
the bar.
Warning: It is recommended to turn-o󰀨 the 24V power supply to the bar and wait a
few seconds before disconnecting the power cable from the bar. Failure to do so will
not damage the equipment, but may result in a small shock caused by the stored
energy in the bar.
Attach the cable on the BarMaster to the M8 connector on the bar, then connect the
M8 connector from the power supply to the BarMaster.
Switch on the power supply. After a few seconds, the BarMaster will establish a
connection to the bar and display the bars settings and status.
The display on the BarMaster will show data including
Model No and Software version E.g. 929 V1.42
Serial No XXXXXX
Frequency 1-20Hz
Balance 20%-80% Positive
Feedback On/O󰀨
Alarm 20%-90%
Ion Level 0%-99%
Reset Ion Ref Calibration command.

Controls
The ashing cursor can be moved to the parameter to be adjusted.
To scroll through the menu use the up down function.
To adjust Frequency, Balance, feedback, Alarm levels or to reset the ion reference
current use left and right function
Please note the OK button in the centre of the toggle is redundant and has no
function on the BarMaster.

Adjustments
Frequency
Your Hyperion bar is set to a default frequency that provides good performance across
its operating range. Lower frequencies can assist long-range use. Higher frequencies
give better results at short-range.
Balance
To get faster decay times, it is possible to adjust the output balance. Negative static
charges will be neutralised faster if the bar is biased to a positive balance (>50 Pos).
Hi accuracy neutralisation can be required in applications involving electronic circuitry,
E.g. RFID tag production. In the case the balance can be adjusted to give the most
accurate neutralisation for the target distance.

Feedback
Feedback is an option on Hyperion bars to achieve automatic control of balance.
This setting cannot be changed unless the bar has been Feedback Enabled. Full
instructions on the feedback system are supplied with Feedback Enabled bars.
Unless a remote feedback sensor is connected to the bar, feedback should be
OFF.
Alarm
This is the level of performance (Ion Level) at which the Clean Pin Alert will be
triggered. Typically set at 60% it can be set higher for more critical applications.
Ion Level
This is an instantaneous measure of the performance of the bar, compared to its
performance when new and clean. A low percentage could indicate that the bar needs
cleaning.
Reset Ion Ref.
This function is used to set reference performance level when the bar is clean. It is set
by Meech during initial calibration. It should be reset after making changes to either
the balance or the frequency of the output.
Make sure that the bar is clean before resetting the Ion Ref Current.
