AC Power Supply targets static control equipment.
July 7, 2005 - Self-monitoring TrueAC Power Supply operates with Blue Bar to provide consistent static neutralization of materials traveling at speeds up to 2,500 fpm. When system is activated, Bar On indicator is illuminated, and during operation unit displays bar performance range and indicates when static bar needs to be cleaned. System includes local or remote on-off control and arc-detection circuit that protects unit in event of short.

SIMCO Industrial Static Control Introduces the NEW TrueAC Power Supply
The NEW TrueAC (patent pending) is the only self-monitoring AC power supply available for static control equipment. The unit is designed to operate with the Blue Bar to provide consistent static neutralization of materials traveling at speeds up to 2,500 feet per minute, while also monitoring and controlling the equipment. When the system is activated the BAR ON indicator is illuminated to let you know that the system is ready to go. During operation the TrueAC power supply monitors the static bar while also displaying the BAR PERFORMANCE RANGE, and indicates when the static bar needs to be cleaned with the CLEAN BAR indicator light.
The TrueAC system is also designed with LOCAL or REMOTE on/off control so the unit can be wired directly to your production line for better convenience and control. The power supply is equipped with an ARC-DETECTION circuit to protect the unit in the event of a short and should an arc occur, the BAR OFF and FAULT lights would illuminate as an additional visual indication that there is a problem with the system. There is even a SERVICE display that illuminates when the ionization has been terminated, or when there are electrical restrictions that affect the high voltage to the static bar.
The TrueAC circuitry is monitoring the ion current from the static eliminator, and the system is calibrated at your facility to match the actual operating environment. The calibration effectively removes all area interferences allowing the system to focus on the web charge and the performance of the static bar. Because it is a true AC circuit, it has an innate ability to recognize impedance to the ionization, conductive or insulative, that can affect the performance of a static eliminator over time. Once the CLEAN BAR indicator illuminates, a thorough cleaning of the static bar will return the system to the normal operating range.
The TrueAC features:
• Bar ON indicator
• Bar OFF indicator
• Remote display capabilities for CLEAN BAR*, FAULT* and SERVICE*
• CLEAN BAR indicator…factory set at 40% of maximum bar efficiency or can be set by user
• FAULT indicator
• BAR PERFORMANCE RANGE indicator
• Arc Detection circuit
