2. SafetyThe units have been designed, built and tested using state-of-the-art engi-neering, and have left the factory in a technically and operationally safe condition. If used improperly, the units may nevertheless be hazardous to personnel and may cause injury or damage. Read the operating instruc-tions carefully and observe the safety instructions.
2.1 Identification of risks and hazards
Possible risks and hazards resulting from the use of the units are referred to in these operating instructions by the following symbols:
Warning!This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations which, if carried out improperly, may result in serious personal injuries.
Caution!This symbol appearing in the operating instructions refers to operations which, if carried out improperly, may result in damage to property.
Ex Warning!This symbol denotes the special conditions which must be observed when operating the system in explosion hazard areas as specified in the EX approvals.
2.2 Contact protection
The site of installation and/or use of the units is outside the control of Eltex, contact protection against inadvertent contact of the bars and of live components by personnel as specified by the employer’s liability insur-ance association may have to be provided (e.g. BGV A2 in Germany). Contact protection devices made of conductive material must be grounded.
2.3 Technical advance
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the technical specifications without prior notice in order to adapt the units to state-of-the-art engineering. Eltex will provide the latest information on any changes or modifications in the operating instructions on request.

If the unit is used in any other high voltage application, the manufacturer´s warranty covers the safe use in terms of technical safety.
The manufacturers will not assume any liability and warranty if the units are used improperly or used outside the intended purpose.
Modifications or changes made to the devices are not permitted.
Use only original Eltex spare parts and equipment.
2.5 Work and operational safety
Warning!Carefully observe the following notes!Always observe the rules and regulations applying in your country with reference to opening and repairing electrical appliances.• The unit and the charging bars must be installed, repaired, serviced
and tested by qualified personnel only.• Before carrying out repairs, cleaning or maintenance work and before
resetting the unit after malfunctions, switch off the high voltage genera-tor and disconnect the mains power supply.
• If the housing cover is removed and the supply voltage is switched on at the same time, contact protection is no longer effective. Always dis-connect the power before opening the units.
• Check the high voltage generator and the connected charging bars at regular intervals for any damage to the electrical wiring and the high voltage cables. Any damaged components must be repaired or replaced before continuing to operate the unit, or the appropriate elec-trode bar and the high voltage cables must be disabled.Make sure that the electrode bars are clean at all times.
• Connect or remove the electrode bars only after the supply voltage to the high voltage generator has been disconnected.
• The IP 54 protection class applies only if the lid of the enclosure is closed and the cable entries are covered.
• The operation of the electrodes can generate ozone. The ozone con-centration levels developing near the electrodes depend on many dif-ferent factors such as site of installation, electrode stream and voltage, air circulation, etc., and can therefore not be specified in general terms.If the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of ozone must be observed at the site of installation of the electrode, the concentration must be measured on site.
• Static on personnelStatic charges on personnel are unlikely if the electrode bars are installed properly. Personnel must wear conductive footwear.Please note all national regulations regarding electrostatic charge (e.g. BGR132 in Germany).

3. Installation and Assembly
3.1 Assembly of the high voltage generator
The unit is designed either for wall assembly or table mounting. Attach the unit using the assembly/mounting brackets supplied with the unit (see fig-ure). The bulging of the holes in the support plate must point in the direc-tion of the generator. When mounting the unit make sure that the operating elements and the connector terminals remain accessible and that control of the unit is not impaired.
The site of installation must be dry and free of dust, if possible. Air circula-tion above the cooling ribs must not be obstructed.

3.2 Installation of the high voltage cables• A minimum bending radius of 10 times the external diameter must be
maintained when routing the high voltage cable.• Do not route the cable over sharp edges (bending radius <5 mm). • Keep a minimum spacing of 50 mm between low voltage and high volt-
age cables; if this cannot be done, shield the low voltage cable. • If the high voltage cables are led through bores in conductive, grounded
materials, the minimum bore diameter D is calculated as follows from the wall thickness of the material: D = 60 mm2/wall thickness.Allow the biggest possible radius for the edges of the bore hole. Use an insulating grommet to centre the cable.
• If ungrounded and conductive objects are placed near (≤2m) the high voltage cable, influenced charges and sparking must be expected.Proper ground connection is therefore important.
• In applications using movable electrodes (e.g. film draw strips), attach the high voltage cables such that there is no cable movement near the connection point to the generator/power supply.

3.6 Disconnecting the high voltage cable
Warning!Electric shock hazard!Work may be carried out only if:• the supply voltage to the generator has been disconnected,• the machine is at a standstill because the electrodes pick up charges if
the material web is running.
Take off the clip at the generator and/or the R131 bar, using a 3 mm screw driver. Then pull out the cable.
A conversion kit comprising terminal adapter, tubular rivet, split-pin plug and washer is available as accessory from Eltex.
3.7 Connecting the supply voltage
Supply voltage connection to the high voltage generator is made directly via the mains plug using a terminal connector or an earthing-pin plug linked to the mains power supply. We recommend enabling the supply voltage to the high voltage generator via a machine contact which disables the high voltage generator if the machine is stopped. This configuration will ensure that high voltage is not applied at the electrode bars with the machine stopped.
Warning!Disconnect and/or connect the mains cable on the socket only when off-load.
When using external protection fusing for generators, the following circuit-breaker must be used:6 A; tripping characteristic D in compliance with DIN VDE 0641 - 11/8.92;EN 60898/1991; IEC 898/1987 modified 11/91.

3.8 Digital interface
The generators and remote controls to be networked are connected to the system bus in parallel. The dual design of the bus connection (socket and plug) to the generator and the remote control allows the bus to be looped through from component to component without sub-distribution. The com-ponents may be arranged in any sequence. If one component is discon-nected from the bus, the bus will be closed again by linking the coupling and the plug.
Bus front and bus end must be fitted with a terminating connector.

4. Operation
4.1 Start-up
Warning!Depending on the parameter setting „Auto Start“ high voltage may be applied immediately after switching on the supply voltage. Before switching on the unit the user must make sure that the installation has been carried out correctly and that the connections are correct. If yes, the supply voltage may be switched on.Use the rocker switch to switch on the high voltage generator. The display message signals the proper operation of the unit.The generator operates either in the operating mode „voltage constant“ or „current constant“.
If all necessary operating parameters have been correctly set, high vol-tage may be released via the Voltage key. The LED below the key will light up. High voltage is now applied at the electrode bars or at the high voltage output.The display is used to control the output voltage and the output current.
In the Voltage Constant mode, the setpoint value of the voltage is dis-played in the top line, and the actual value of the current is displayed in the bottom line. In the Current Constant mode, the setpoint value of the current is dis-played in the top line, and the actual value of the voltage is displayed in the bottom line.
Notes about the operation of the generator KNH34/W:When operating with the remote control ESC the keypad of the generator is locked. Should the remote control fail or the CAN bus link be disrupted, the keypad of the generator will be automatically activated after a delay of 5 seconds.If the remote control fails or the CAN bus link is disrupted during the operation of the system, high voltage is switched off automatically. After the keypad of the generator has been activated, the high voltage can be switched on and off directly at the generator.

4.2 User concept
The high voltage generator is operated by means of five operating keys located in the front panel and a two-line display (see fig. 14).
The display signals parameters, values and error messages in plain text. Several languages are available for menu operation.

VOLTAGE 20.0 kVcurrent 1.23 mA
Abort currently entered values and settings by striking the key „Abbruch/Escape“. If, during setting, no key is activated for longer than 10 seconds, the generator auto-matically returns to the actual value display. This return is treated like an escape.After aborting a programming session, the generator con-tinues to operate with the last valid setting.The Escape key also serves as error acknowledgement (see chap. 7).
Use the key „Sollwert/Setpoint“ to 1) modify the current parameter and 2) to store the set value or the selection after changing the parameter.This key therefore releases a value for modification and allows it to be stored after modification.
The key „Spannung/Voltage“ enables the high voltage. If the high voltage is active, the LED below the lettering lights up.The high voltage may only be enabled if no windows for operating parameter settings are active and if no error message is displayed.
Use both arrow keys to modify numerical values or selecting a variety of options.

4.8.9 Selecting the Ramp Time
After releasing the high voltage via the Voltage key, the voltage will rise to its preselected setpoint within an adjustable period (the ramp time). The ramp time selection range is between 0…9 seconds.
This option is of significance in externally clocked operation via the high voltage release input or in applications requiring a defined rate of voltage rise.
This is followed by the next display message: Bus Address.
Note!When selecting the setting „0“ the high voltage is moved to its setpoint within the shortest possible time. Depending on load, reaching 30 kV may take 0.5 seconds in the „voltage constant“ mode and as much as 1 second in the „current constant“ mode (this time is reduced for smaller setpoint values).
"Voltage constant" mode: If the generator switches to limit operation during the run-up, the ramp time may be as long as 2 seconds.
„Current constant“ mode:If the generator switches to limit operation during the run-up, the limit value may overshoot briefly and settle after about 2 seconds. With a ramp time larger than 0, overshooting is not expected.

4.8.10 Selecting the bus address
When operating one or more generators over the same remote control, a definite address must be selected for each generator connected. Select-able addresses range from 00…20. Address 00 is the default setting set in the factory. With this setting the generator neither responds to bus signals, nor does it transmit any such signals. This means that individual genera-tors integrated in a bus formation can be disabled.
This is followed by the next display message: Generator Type.
4.8.11 Selecting the generator type
Up to 5 different functional groups can be defined by selecting a generator type. This will allow the user to address selective generators via a remote control and to set individual setpoints or group setpoints. The following predefined function groups:• KNH34• Folder

4.8.15 Release via external Setpoint
This function allows the user to activate the high voltage not only via the Voltage key and the external 24 V signal, but also via the analog Setpoint input. This function can be used, e.g. if only one analog output is available at a remote controlling SPC which controls both the setpoint setting and the high voltage release via the analog interface.The high voltage turn-on threshold is at 10% of the setpoint (correspond-ing to 1 V at the voltage input/pin3 analog interface or to 2 mA at the current input/pin4 analog interface). In this operating mode, this results in a setting range of between 10-100% (3-30 kV / voltage constant resp. 0.5-5 mA/current constant) of the Setpoint.
To be able to activate this function, the parameter must be set for YES and the parameter "Ext. Setpoint" must be set for ON (see chap. 4.8.12.).
This is followed by the next display message with Version number and date.
Note!If the function Release via external Set-point is used, the parameter "ext. HV ON/OFF" must be set for NO (see chap. 4.8.14). Also, the high voltage cannot be enabled in this operating mode via the Voltage key or the CAN bus.
