Takk 400T Series Manual

The Ion-Edge is a highly effective AC static neutralization system. Please read the following
instructions carefully to ensure correct installation, safe operation and peak performance.
MODEL 200 POWER SUPPLY
The Model 200 Power Supply is a highly reliable unit that supplies 6000 volts of AC current to the
Ion-Edge Bar.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 61⁄2foot grounded power cord is supplied with the power supply. The unit must be plugged into a
grounded outlet or wired to a grounded control box.
Ratings
Input Volts: 115VAC Standard (220VAC optional)
Output Volts: 6000VAC
Cycles: 50/60
Starting Load: <0.5 amps
Running Load: <0.5 amps
MOUNTING THE POWER SUPPLY
The Power Supply can be mounted to any solid surface via the mounting tabs extending out from the
bottom side of the unit or placing the unit in an enclosure. Keep in mind the positioning of the Ionizing
Bar when locating the Power Supply. A standard 6.5' (foot) power cable is supplied with the bar.
Once the unit has been mounted, switch the unit to the OFF position (the lighted rocker switch is
located on the side of the unit near the cord end—rock the switch downward) and then route the power
cord to the designated outlet. (The Power Supply can be wired directly to a machine switch so the unit
is only running when the machine is running and off when it is not.) The Power Supply is now ready to
receive the Ionizing Bar.
Note: Always keep the Power Supply powered OFF when the system is not in use. Unplug or
disconnect the power to the controller when the system is being serviced.
THE IONIZING BAR
The Ion-Edge bar is a one piece, lightweight unit. The in-line high voltage cable has a screw-in type
connector enabling quick and easy hook-up to the power supply.
At each end of the bar are positioned an 8⁄32 stud and nuts that can be fastened to a mounting bracket or
chain, not supplied. Longer bars will have mount studs and nuts positioned symmetrically in the middle
of the bar.

POSITIONING THE BAR
The tip of the emitters should be directed straight at the static laden surface. The bar should be
positioned so that it spans the full width of the area or substrate that is to be neutralized. This will
ensure maximum ionization coverage and static neutralization.
For best performance, it is important that there are no non-targeted electrically conductive surfaces in
close proximity of the tips of the emitters. It is best if a minimal free air space of 6" (inch) is maintained
in front of and alongside the emitters and the surface that is to be neutralized. Please note that this is
for best performance. The unit will perform and no harm will occur to the system if the 6" buffer can not
be maintained due to tight space limitations.
Once the best location for the bar has been determined and all the proper mounting hardware has been
installed, the bar is ready for installation. Make sure the bar is mounted securely via the studs.
FOR AIR BAR INSTALLATION
The AirBar may be placed up to three feet or more from the static laden material. Note that the Air
Bar extends the neutralizing eld and diffuses it over a wider area, however, the length of time for
discharging material is directly proportionate to the distance from the Static Control Bar to the material.
The only additional installation needed for the TAKK AirBar is to connect the air tubes of the Bar to an
air supply using standard air ttings. The bar is tted with a 1⁄4" quick-disconnect coupler. Use of an
air lter is recommended. Using an air ow regulator, increase air pressure to a point at which static
caused problems are eliminated. Normally a gentle air ow is sufcient.
POWER CABLE CONNECTION
Before connecting the bar to the Power Supply switch the rocker switch to the OFF position or
disconnect the electrical power to the unit. Screw the high voltage connector into either jack of the
Power Supply. Each jack has the same output voltage. Where multiple bars are installed, two bars
can be plugged directly into the Power Supply. Note: If any excess cable has to be coiled do not coil
any tighter than a 6" (inch) diameter coil. Doing so may cause internal damage to the cable and cable
failure. Connect the ground wire to the ground stud located on the power supply.
CAUTION: If the cable is connected or disconnected to the Power Supply when the power is ON there
is the risk of personal shock and/or damage to the Power Supply.
POWER-UP
Once all connections and nal installations have been made the system is ready for use. Turn the
switch ON (rock upward toward the enclosure lid). In the ON position the switch will glow red.
MAINTENANCE
With some simple preventive maintenance procedures the Ion Edge Ionization System will give years of
service.
Special care should be taken with the Power Supply and bar as with any sensitive electronic device.
Do not drop or shake the Power Supply or Bar. Avoid mounting the Power Supply or Bar to surfaces
that would have excessive vibration or rapid motion. Always handle the Bar by the body of the Bar and
do not tug or jerk on the power cable.

Keep the Power Supply and Bar dry and clean. Each power supply is supplied with two jack covers and
these should remain in place when the jack is not being used. Avoid exposing the system to moisture
or solvents of any kind. Dust and other contaminants can be removed by using a soft cloth by itself or
along with a gentle, general purpose cleaner.
Remove dust and other contaminants from the Bar taking special care around the emitter points. If
need be, a cleaner for use with ABS/PVC and aluminum can be used sparingly. If cleaners are used
make sure the Power Supply and Ionizing Bar are dry before operating them.
SERVICE
In the event of equipment damage or failure, call the factory for service or repair, 513-353-4306 or
800-792-8255.
CAUTION: There are no eld serviceable parts on the system. Outside of cleaning, do not attempt to
service or repair the system. Personal shock and/or damage to the system could occur. Any attempted
eld service or repair will void the Warranty.
WARRANTY
All TAKK products are engineered and designed with optimum serviceability in mind. Quality of materials
and labor are foremost in the manufacture of our products. In the event that there is any premature failure
of our system, the Ion Edge is guaranteed against any factory defects in materials and/or workmanship for a
full 24 months from the date of purchase. Any equipment found to be defective by a qualied TAKK service
technician will be repaired or replaced at TAKK’s cost. Any special handling or shipping the customer may
request is not covered under this warranty.
All Warranties are void if the equipment has been damaged due to negligence, misuse, or any other event
outside of the control of the manufacturer.
Call the factory before returning any equipment under Warranty, 513-353-4306 or 800-792-8255.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The Ion-Edge has been engineered for safe and user friendly operation. Please operate this system safely by
observing the following:
The Model 200 Power Supply is a High Voltage source. Do Not attempt to dismantle or tamper with the unit.
Personal electrical shock and/or damage to the unit may occur.
The Power Supply must not be operated under any circumstance with the housing lid removed or when the
housing is damaged in anyway.
DO NOT operate the Power Supply without the unit being electrically grounded. A grounded power cord has
been provided with the unit and should be used at all times with a grounded outlet or control box.

ALWAYS turn the Power Supply OFF or disconnect power to the unit before unplugging the Bar or cleaning
the system. Not doing so could result in personal electrical shock and/or damage to the unit.
The emitters on the Ion-Edge Bar are resistively coupled with 100Mohm resistance in series with the high
voltage source that makes the emitters shockless when touched individually. DO NOT allow personal contact
with more than one point at a time. In general, contact with emitters should be avoided.
By design, the Ion-Edge emitters are very sharp. Take care when handling the bar.
It is recommended that all electrically conductive surfaces in the Ion-Edge’s ion eld be earth grounded to
prevent those surfaces from becoming electrically charged by the AC source.
A byproduct of the Ion-Edge Bar is ozone. The ozone emission from the Bar is less than 0.1ppm and well
below OSHA standards providing safe working conditions around the system.
