How to adjudge high voltage transformer break down

1. Take off fuses on main lining. Operate Corona treater as normal operation.
Checkout P.C.B_No.1PC & PCB_No.2PC is normal or not. Usually # PCB_No.1PC
is seldom breakdown. P.C.B_No.2PC under non-active (Adjust output return to
zero) with DC -4.5V to-6.5V. And DC 1.5 to 2.5V after active (2 or 4 red LED
light on No.2PC).

2. Release the line terminal #38 and #40 (control unit to H.V. transformer).
Re-install the fuses on main lining. Measuring the voltage between #38 & #40
with multi-meter (AC1200V range). Contact the multi-meter detect bar with #38
& #40, then operate corona treater as normal procedure. When 2 or 4 red LED
light ON, the voltage between #38 &#40 should be about AC 1000 to 1200V
(over multi meter range). In this moment finish quick move test bar out, else,
the multi test meter maybe damaged.

3. In above steps get normal result, the control unit is normally.

4. Re-connect the cable to #38 & #40 to High voltage power transformer, and
check the output line keep away from metal. (The output line can not contact
or close other metal material except the station’s terminal.

5. Start the treater operation. If has output but the discharge seem low, the
P.C.B_No.1PC maybe unsuitable. Adjust PCB_No.1PC to reach normal output.
If the discharge still low after adjust PCB_No.1PC, The coil of high voltage
transformer maybe damaged. Please contact manufacture or distrubitor to
replace parts.

 ***** Cleaning and maintenance tips *****
Properly maintaining your treater station translates into uptime and longer electrode life.
How often should you clean corona treating system? Cleaning the electrodes is a very important
preventative maintenance procedure. Dirty electrodes contribute to high voltage carbon tracking,
which will cause premature electrode and insulator failure.

Heat, humidity and a lack of cleaning are mortal enemies of your treater and they can shut your
operation down. Why is this lethal combination? Cool air moves across the electrodes maintaining
a safe operating temperature. However a dirty station allows the air flow to bring other things
with it.

Dust in the air, substrate fragments, moisture and other debris are all carried into the electrode
assemblies. Unless you have a regular cleaning schedule they will accumulate, eventually
clogging the exhaust path and reducing the air flow rate. Heat will build-up and electrodes can
fail. Excess moisture leads to even more problems. When combined with the ozone generated by
the corona treating process a sticky brown liquid residue can collect in the exhaust chambers and
the ductwork.

This residue contains nitric acid and NOx; it is corrosive and a skin irritant. As this residue
accumulates it captures additional debris. This accumulation will quickly create an environment
conducive to high voltage arcing.

There are several variables that determine how often the electrode requires cleaning. The treater
station is under a negative pressure due to the exhaust so any contamination in the atmosphere
tends to get sucked into the treater station. Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from
the internal and external electrode every time when production line stops. When it becomes a
routine step, cleaning and maintenance will be much easier.

Each individual application and environment is different. Your best solution is to develop a
maintenance schedule based on your situation. Monitor a particular station over a period of time.
Keep an eye on the electrodes and electrode insulators. When you see the start of a build-up,
take note, and use that interval for your maintenance schedule.

CH's corona surface treating stations are loaded with easy to use features that make
maintenance a simple task.

CHAANG-HORNG EN O/M Page 24

Clean your electrode
The barrel hinged design of the electrode assembly allows for simple in-place maintenance and
cleaning. With no need to remove the electrode assembly downtime is minimized.

Regular cleaning of your corona treating stations will eliminate most problems with them. The
station cleaning process is not a difficult one and, if performed on a regular basis, will not take a
great deal of time. We suggest that at least monthly you inspect and clean the electrode
assemblies, check the assemblies pivot rotation ability, check and clean the surface of the ground
roll and the ground brush. At the same time check the electrode air gap and lubricate the
bearings.

Electrode Cleaning Procedures In a perfect world you would make sure that the electrodes in
your corona treating system were quick checked daily for general cleanliness and obvious signs
of carbon tracking. This simple 1-minute procedure will identify nominal conditions that, if left
uncorrected, might grow into problems of major proportions. For your regularly scheduled
periodic cleaning program we recommend the following procedure:

1. ▪ Ensure that all system power is turned off and properly tagged.
▪ Pivot the electrode assembly for proper access.
▪ Loosen the electrode assembly for proper access.
▪ Inspect the electrodes, looking for carbon tracks on the mounting tabs, loose tabs,
deterioration of the high voltage wire and general cleanliness.

2. If your electrodes require replacement of the high voltage wire return them to your
supplier or CH's service department for repair. Repair of the high voltage wire is not
recommended.

3. Clean the exterior of the electrodes by wiping with an abrasive cleanser and a brite pad.
Then wipe-down with isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining residue and evaporate
any remaining moisture.

4. Remove accumulated residue from the aluminum electrodes, insulating cover and ceramic
insulations with a stiff bristled brush or a copper brush. Inspect the electrode assembly to
insure that all cooling ports are clear and that the insulating shroud is free of carbon
tracking.

5. Loosen accumulated residue from the cooling ports with a stiff bristled brush and remove
with compressed air or a vacuum. Use a water-dampened sponge to remove any
remaining residue. Finally, wipe-down with isopropyl alcohol to evaporate any remaining
moisture.

6. To repair the insulating shroud, first remove the bolts that mount the shroud to the outer
aluminum housing. Next remove the electrode mounting blocks and the shrouding from

CHAANG-HORNG EN O/M Page 25

 the electrode assembly. If carbon tracking is minor it can be removed with a file or a
Dremel tool.

7. After removal of the carbon tracking the area should be sprayed with non-conductive
coating. You can now reinstall the shrouding and the electrode mounting blocks. If the
carbon tracking is significant the insulating shrouding should be replaced.

8. You are now just about finished. All that's left is to re-install the electrodes and reconnect
them at the high voltage end of the station. As a final step, be sure to tighten the
electrode assembly and pivot it back into the operating position.
Clean your ground roll
The barrel hinged design of the electrode assembly allows for simple in-place maintenance and
cleaning. With no need to remove the electrode assembly downtime is minimized.

It's easy to clean your ground roll. The ground roll is a vital component of your Corona Surface
Treating System. Defects in the surface of the roll or in the roll covering can lead to backside
treatment, pinholes and outright failure of your system. An ounce of up-front preventative
maintenance can be worth pounds of downstream cure.

Here are a few roll care tips specific to the type of roll or roll covering that you may be using.

Bare Aluminum Roll

1. For general cleaning mild soap and water works best.

2. To remove built-up oxidation, use a Brite pad or very fine emery cloth.

3. When it is difficult to remove accumulated residue or severe oxidation, please contact

your supplier or CH’s customer service department.

4. Never use any caustic cleaner.

5. Wipe-down with isopropyl alcohol to evaporate any remaining moisture.

Silicone sleeve Roll
1. For general cleaning mild soap and water or alcohol (methanol or methyl alcohol) work
well.

2. To remove tougher stains scrub manually or by palm sander with No.60~100 of medium
grit sandpaper. It is forbidden to use electric grinder. Standard color of silicone coated
roll should be dull.

3. NEVER USE 1,1,1 Trichlorethane, (MEK's), Xylene or any caustic cleaner.

4. If silicone roll’s surface is damaged, it can be repaired by using specified RTV silicone to
fill. Firstly, remove breakage and burned pieces from the damaged section. Then, use
CHAANG-HORNG EN O/M Page 26
 ShinEtsu RTV silicon KE-45W to fill the damaged section. After filling, it needs 24 hours
to become complete solidity.

5. For urgent using, it is allowed to use ShinEtsu RTV silicon KE-45W mixing with hardener
at ratio 100:3. After filling, it needs 6 hours to become complete solidity.
Clean your power supply
1. Ensure that all system power is turned off and properly tagged.

2. Check to ensure all the screws and connectors are tighten.

3. Remove dust from cooling fans and vents with dried compressed air.
The focus of cleaning and maintenance
1. Metal electrode → Clean with copper brush.

2. Ceramic insulation → Clean with copper brush.

3. High voltage cable → Clean with soft brush or brite pad.

4. Electrode insulating cover → Clean with soft brush or brite pad.

5. Ground roll:
Silicon roll → Clean with sandpaper or palm sander.
Bare roll → Clean with brite pad.

 Mounting Instructions for Corona Treater Sleeves

During the following procedures, keep working area and sleeve surface as clean as
possible. Avoid damage of sleeve surface when using tools.
1. Place roll in vertical position on the floor or bench.
2. Slip the open end of the sleeve over the upper end of the roll by approx.
50-75mm.
3. Introduce the nozzle of a high pressure air line between the sleeve and
the roll. (Or using plug into the end of sleeve then compressed air)
4. Hold sleeve firmly with both hands while air valve is slowly opened by an
assistant.
5.While sleeve fills with air, it will expand and can be pulled all the way
down over the entire length of the roll.
6. Make sure that the sleeve projects over the roll face on both ends by at
least 50mm.

Note: When sleeves are ordered for replacement, please specify total length at
least 100mm longer, to allow for contraction and overlap.

Dyne test pen instructions
Dyne pen test, provide a simple and effective test for assessing the quality of
real-time.
In general, the material surface tension,
* 38 ~ 41 dyne or rough treatment in advance,
with better adhesion.
* 35 ~ 37 dyne, low adhesion.
* 35 dyne and less, poor adhesion.
Dyne pen options: general used low No. of dyne pen to start test as initial pen
(36 or 38), upward or downward correction. To choose the right dyne pen,
conventional printing needs of its material surface tension 38 dyne & more. If
applied to UV printing, the material surface tension need to 42~44 dyne.
It is recommended to keep 38/40/42/44 dyne pen kit for self-test requirement..
Chang Hong dyne pen to use:
Before using, little pressure down the pen to open
inside gate and allow internal liquid flow to pen
head. After pen wetting then start testing
Dyne pen test methods:
To start with 38 dyne pen test, then wait 2 to 3 seconds, Observe the liquid
surface:
* Like water drops: It’s mean surface tension (adhesion) is low, must be make
pre-treat with corona or other method.
* Flat-shaped: the renewal of selected 40 dyne
test pen, if the surface begins to form Like water drop, it’s mean surface
tension is f 40 dyne or more. Then use No. 42, 44 dyne pen sequential. To
get result of surface tension for substrate.
