2. DESCRIPTION
The Simco-Ion Type N Power Supply provides multiple high voltage outputs for powering
various types of static eliminating equipment. Although there are various models, they are
basically the same with respect to mounting, connection, and operation.
Each power supply operates on a specific line voltage and frequency and provides a
specific high voltage output. The voltage of the power supply needed depends upon the
type of static eliminating device it is to power. Therefore, the power supply must be used
only with the device for which it was originally supplied. Do not add any device to the
power supply without first consulting Simco-Ion.
If it should become necessary to contact Simco-Ion regarding the power supply, please be
sure to reference the power supply model number and unit number. These numbers are
listed on the label affixed to the power supply. Line voltage and frequency requirements
as well as output ratings are listed on the nameplate.
The Simco-Ion Type N Power Supplies are UL and CSA listed. These power supplies
also carry CE approval.
Receipt of Equipment:
1. Carefully remove the equipment from the carton.
2. Inspect contents for damage that may have occurred during shipment. If any damage
has occurred during shipment, the local carrier should be notified at once. A report
should be forwarded to Simco-Ion, 2257 North Penn Road, Hatfield, PA 19440 and
call [phone].
3. Empty the carton to insure that small parts are not discarded.
Return Shipments:
Prior to returning goods, contact a Simco-Ion customer service representative for a
Return Authorization Number. This number should be included on the packing list. All
correspondence should also reference the Return Authorization Number. Any item being
returned should be shipped prepaid and packed to provide adequate protection.

3. INSTALLATION
Mounting and Grounding the Power Supply
The power supply is designed for flat surface mounting and can be easily mounted using
the mounting flanges at the base of the unit. The ambient temperature of mounting are of
the power supply must not exceed 105˚F (40˚C).
WARNING – Electrical Shock Hazard
Failure to properly ground a power supply may result in an electrical shock
hazard to personnel and inefficient operation of equipment.
Proper grounding of the power supply enclosure is essential for safe and efficient
operation. Proper grounding can be accomplished by either of the following methods:
1. For power supplies mounted on machinery, connect power supply ground stud with
at least #16 AWG copper wire.
2. All power supplies are equipped with a 3-conductor line cord.
For power supplies with 120 VAC operating voltage, the line cord is fitted with a standard
NEMA 5-15P plug. The line cord must be plugged into a 3-terminal grounded receptacle.
For power supplies with 230 VAC operating voltage, the line cord is fitted with a standard
NEMA 6-15P plug. The line cord must be plugged into a 3-terminal grounded receptacle.
For power supplies that are equipped with a plug-less 3-conductor line cord, the ground
wire (green or green/yellow) must be connected to earth ground.
Input Line Voltage Connections
The line cord must be connected to a power source of the correct voltage and frequency as
listed on the nameplate. For power supplies with 120 or 240 VAC operating voltage, the
line cord is fitted with a plug. For power supplies with a plug-less line cord, the following
connections are required:
Wire Colors
North America International Power Connection
Black Brown Live
White Blue Neutral
Green Green/Yellow Ground
If the static eliminating equipment is used on machinery, it is recommended that the line
cord of the power supply be connected to the machine “RUN” button. This enables the
static eliminating equipment to turn on and off with the machine. Some power supplies
are equipped with an ON/OFF switch with indicator.

WARNING – Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not apply line voltage to the power supply until all grounds and high voltage
connections are complete and static eliminating equipment has been installed.
High Voltage Connections for Standard Cable
When connecting high voltage cable through the high voltage outlets of the power supply
enclosure, always install the strain relief bushing onto the cutout to insulate cable and
prevent it from arcing to ground. Refer to Figure 2 and installation procedures below:
1. Disconnect line voltage to power supply
2. Remove lid from power supply
3. Remove black insert bushing from cutout of high voltage outlet. Mount strain relief
bushing (P/N 4610634 supplied with power supply) on cutout.
4. Cut a suitable high voltage cable to desired length. Insert cable through strain relief
bushing. Allow additional length for cable to reach high voltage output terminal
block inside power supply.
5. Strip 3/8 inch insulation from end of high voltage cable. Attach cable to one of the
free positions on the high voltage output terminal block.
6. Re-tighten strain relief bushing to fit snug. Pull gently on cable to make certain
connection is secure.
Some static eliminating devices may have a separate insulated ground wire (green)
running along the high voltage cable. This wire must be connected to the ground screw
on the outside of the power supply.
If corona-free shielded cable is used, be sure to connect ground wire to ground terminal
located inside the power supply.
WARNING – Electrical Shock Hazard
Failure to properly ground shielding may result in electrical shock hazard to
personnel and inefficient operation of equipment.

4. OPERATION
Before placing the equipment into operation, make certain all grounds and connections
have been completed as described in Section 3. Make certain the static eliminating
equipment is properly installed.
To operate the static eliminating equipment, apply line voltage to the power supply. For
power supply equipped with an ON/OFF switch, place the switch in the ON position.
Always turn the power supply OFF when the equipment is not in use.
WARNING – Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not touch high voltage outlet when power supply is energized. Turn off
power supply when equipment is not in use.

5. MAINTENANCE
Under normal conditions, the power supply does not require periodic maintenance. The
user may occasionally check to make certain all ground and electrical connections are
clean and tight.
CAUTION – Maintenance must be performed by qualified service personnel.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Procedures for Checking the power supply are as follows:
1. Disconnect line voltage to power supply
2. Remove lid from power supply
3. Disconnect all static eliminating equipment from power supply’s voltage outputs.
4. Verify power supply is properly grounded.
5. Connect a suitable high voltage voltmeter to high voltage output terminal of power
supply.
6. Re-connect line voltage to power supply.
7. If output voltage is out of specification, power supply is not functioning properly.
Contact Simco-Ion or your local representative.
