Jupiter Static Control Operating Instructions
Instructions/Booklet/Jupiter

Jupiter Static Control Installation and Maintenance Instructions Jupiter Static Eliminators offer market leading performance and reliability provided they are correctly installed. It is important that these instructions are read and understood before beginning to install or operate this equipment. System: How it works The static elimination system consists of a single static eliminator bar with built-in controls, powered by 24V from the Power Supply provided, or by the customer's own 24V supply.
Jupiter Bar
Jupiter uses advanced pulsed DC technology to emit positive and negative ions from dedicated emitters. One side of the Bar is positive, the other side negative. As the ions travel away from the Bar they are attracted to the static charge on the object. If the object has a positive charge, for example, negative ions are sucked in to neutralise it. A built-in computer monitors the ion current and compensates to maintain maximum performance. The higher the static charge, the more ions are attracted. This is a powerful process and is effective at distances of up to 2m without any air assistance. In practice the best operating distances are between 250mm and 1m. Checking on Delivered Equipment The equipment leaves our factory in suitable protective packaging. Please check that it is undamaged when it arrives. If there is visible damage contact the factory or one of our authorised distributors immediately, before carrying out any installation. Check that the parts which have been delivered are the same as you have ordered. Loose Parts: •
24V Power Supply, and IEC cable for connection to 90 - 250V AC supply
•
3m earth cable connected to the Bar
•
Remote monitoring connector with 5m cable, if ordered.
•
Mounting “T” brackets and nuts. for sliding in the slot - 2 per 500mm length + 1 extra for every additional 500mm.

Jupiter Controls The Jupiter Bar is factory set to suit most applications. Alternatively, it can be fine-tuned by the customer to suit his own conditions.
Frequency Adjustment
Operation LED
Frequency Control The frequency of the emission dictates the range of the ionisation. The slower the frequency, the longer the static neutralisation range. The frequency can be varied from 0.5Hz to 10Hz. The adjustment is logarithmic. As a general guide use 5Hz for distances of 250mm; 1Hz for distances up to 500mm; 0.5Hz for up to 1m. The actual frequency is shown by the speed of flashing of the Operation LED On a typical application, such as a winder, where the distance changes with the size of the reel, set the frequency for a mid-distance. The factory set frequency is 1Hz which will be suitable for most applications. Adjust the frequency with a 2mm flat blade screwdriver - Do this only when the Bar is turned OFF. This is an important safety rule - if you put your hand close to Jupiter you could become charged from the emission and receive a shock from nearby metal parts.
Balance Control This is automatic. The on-board computer monitors the current draw and makes sure that the ions of the required polarity are available in the quantities required.
Voltage Control The voltage is always set for maximum.
Operation Status Alarm The Operation LED shows the operational status of Jupiter in addition to showing the frequency. When the LED is green the system is OK. When the LED is red - there is a fault. This information is also available through the remote monitoring system - see later. Instructions/Booklet/Jupiter

Positioning of Jupiter Bar All the rules which apply to Ionstorm also apply to Jupiter. Position the Bar so that the label and Operation LED is visible to the operator. 1)
Mounting
Use all the fixings supplied with the Bar. Only mount the Bar with the slot touching the machine 2)
No metal parts at side
No machine parts or other metal parts should be at the side or within 200mm of the side of the Bar.
3)
Distance to Object 4)
Minimum Distance is 250mm.
Parts in Ion Path
There should be no metal parts between the Jupiter Bar and the object, as this will attract ions and reduce the static neutralising performance.
Maximum distance depends on the size of the static charge - the higher the charge, the greater the attraction of the ions produced by Jupiter. Typical distance is 250mm to 1000mm
Object to be neutralised.

Construction and Dimensions: • •
Robust synthetic body 54 x 96mm high. (At endcap 58.5mm x 99mm) Can be mounted vertically or horizontally. 54mm Body
Remote Monitor Connection 96mm Body 24V DC Connection
Ground Connection. Jupiter must be earthed.
32mm M6 Thread
Mounting brackets in slot
Mounting brackets slide in slot M6 x 35mm Mounting brackets slide in the slot at bottom of Jupiter Body. Use all the brackets provided. 2 for 500mm + 1 for each additional 500mm
Emitters The emitters are critical for the performance of Jupiter. The sharp point and construction has been specially designed for maximum ionisation. The emitter pin is made from titanium and secured in an 8mm hexagon stainless steel fitting. If an emitter is damaged it can be replaced - use a tool for an M5 nut.

24V DC Supply
24V DC
Second Earth Connection
Jupiter is powered by 24V DC. A 24V x 2.1A power Supply is provided with the Bar for connection to a 100V - 240V, 47 - 63Hz, AC supply. It is possible to supply 24VDC direct from the machine's controls. The connector is a Switchcraft S761K which is readily available. Important: the return line should be connected to a good earth.
Earth Connection IMPORTANT A second earth connection in addition to the earth provided by the return line on the 24V supply is required to meet international safety standards and for the correct operation of Jupiter. An earth wire is supplied with the equipment.
Remote Monitor A remote monitoring system checks the operational status of Jupiter and sends a no volt signal which can be used by the customer to switch an alarm etc. The socket is a 5 Pin Lumberg - model RKFM 5/0 A Lumberg mating plug and 5m of cable (Model RST5/228) can be ordered at extra cost with the equipment - or can be purchased from normal electrical equipment suppliers. See next page for more details of the remote monitor
IMPORTANT: The power/electricity must be switched off when connecting or disconnecting these connectors. If you connect, or disconnect the cable connectors when the power in ON you risk receiving an electric shock and serious damage to the Bar could be caused through sparking.
