The 650QAC bar includes a Total Ion Current Control technology (TICC) to measure net ion current and make automatic adjustments to the bars parameter to maintain a low offset voltage (<35V).
TICC is designed to continually adjust the offset voltage holding it within the desired limits, protecting voltage sensitive components.
The 650QAC is for use in applications where a very low offset voltage of less than +/- 35V is required. This is typically in electronics manufacturing applications where the risk of ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damaging components is high.
Whilst the 924IPS bar offers excellent performance in reducing charge voltages at short range, and in some circumstances when settings are optimised, 924IPS can result in very low off set voltages. However, the 650QAC has been designed to achieve and maintain less than +/- 35V offset voltage.
It will depend on the type of application. The 650QAC bar is designed for use in applications such as in the electronics industry where a very low and stable offset voltage is required (typically within ±35V).
For these types of applications it is worth investing in the 650QAC. Industry experts suggest that anything from 8-33% of electronic failure is down to ESD (electrostatic discharge). With use of the 650QAC bar it is expected that component failures or worse latent defects due to ESD will be reduced, resulting in higher yields and greater profits.
Yes, QAC comes with automatic distance presets for a quick and easy set up. Requires no need for plug in handsets or charge plates, it is an out the box fully optimised solution.
ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge and is the release of static electricity between two electrically charged objects when they are brought close together and can often be seen as a visible spark.
An electrostatic discharge can not only give shocks to operators, but it can also result in damage to sensitive electrical components during production. Damage is often difficult to identify during production and ESD damage often results in product failure after the product has been supplied to the end customer.

Yes, the emitter pins on the 650QAC are replaceable. To ensure a safe replacement please use a Meech emitter key to remove and replace pins, all Meech emitter kits will be sent with an emitter key.
When the bar is >150mm away from the target the air assist can be used to maintain low decay times and consistently low operating voltages. To connect the air supply there is a 6mm push-fit airline fitting at the end of the bar. The compressed air supply should be filtered and limited to a maximum of 2 bar (29PSI).
The lights on the 650QAC change to act as visual indicators when adjusting the bar. When the central LED is lit, the Balance is being held at the set-point. LED’s to the left indicate a Negative balance. LEDs to the right indicate a Positive balance.
