Anti-Static Brush Installation Guide

If you’ve recently received and Anti-Static Guard Upgrade Kit, please follow the written guide to install the new system onto your PhyzBatch-9000.

To do this procedure, you will want the following tools:

5.5mm socket
T10 screw bit
Soft Rod
Screwdriver

Your Anti-Static Guard Kit should include the static brush with a small star washer. All tools and pieces are pictured below. (Older models will have all the same parts, but the static brush will look slightly different. See examples in images below.)

Step one will be to remove the scanner from the conveyor.
Next, remove the Scanner Unit's housing. Please click on the photo that matches your machine to get accurate instructions for your model.
If your machine does not have the centre screw (marked with the arrow) on the top of the side panel, then you only have to remove the side panel

Pro Tip: Using a handheld screwdriver instead of a power drill can help prevent the screws from stripping.

Without Screw:

Remove the top and side panels.

Next, remove the screws holding on the Motherboard Cover.

Then you’ll take a look at the Conveyor side of the scanner, and remove the bolt from the electrical bulkhead on this side of the scanner.

Once these three screws have been removed, you can fold the motherboard down.

Caution!! If the motherboard does not move easily, investigate rather than forcing it down. This is a delicate piece of the machine.
For the next step you will need the 5.5 mm socket to loosen the ground wire. This is the green wire at the back of the motherboard, near the hinge that folds.

Completely remove this bolt so you can slide a new wire on top.

Pro Tip: The soft rod is useful here due to the position of the cable. This rod allows flexibility when working in this part of the machine.

Make sure there is an M3 star washer under the terminal. Add the wire for the Static Brush above the grounding wire. Install a new M3 washer on top of the terminal and reinstall the nut on top.
Your stack on the screw should be Star washer, Grounding Cable, Static Brush, star washer, nut.
Tighten the nut down until it touches the star washer, then give it another small turn.

Do Not Overtighten!

Next, run the wire up the side of the scanner. The static brush mounts inside the card exit end.
You will see a curved section of the static brush – this curved portion fits on the round support bar inside the scanner.

Make sure the slots in the front of the static brush are not binding on the Taco Bar.
Now we will press the static brush down on to the bar. Use the handle of a screwdriver or something similar to gently push down from above. You will hear it click in to place.

Next, we secure the wiring! You will see a small slot in the top of the scanner wall, slide the cord in to fit flush in this notch.

Push the static brush along the rest of the wires running down the length of the scanner, zip tie this cord to the rest to prevent it from contacting any of the drive components. Then trim the zip ties.

Next fold the motherboard cover back up, and reinstall the Bulkhead retaining bolt.

Now just reattach the siding, and you’re ready to sort static free!

With Screw:

Remove the side panel

Turn the scanner so you're looking at the back side, where cards will leave the scanner, and remove the two screws holding the 3D Print in place, and the bulkhead screw.

Holding your static brush, you will feed the cord through the front panel and out the back of the machine.

Feed it through until the brush is flush with its seat on the front of the scanner, like so:

We can then replace the 3D Panel and screws you previously removed.

Now going back to the side of the scanner, we will remove the two screws to lower the motherboard.

Once these three screws have been removed, you can fold the motherboard down.

Caution!! If the motherboard does not move easily, investigate rather than forcing it down. This is a delicate piece of the machine.
You will be looking for a small screw near the hinge.

Using the 5.5 mm socket, loosen the ground wire. Completely remove this bolt so you can slide a new wire on top.
When you add the wire, add the green cable, then the star washer, then add the nut back on top.

Once the nut is secured, give a gentle tug to the green wire to ensure it is tight. You don't want any movement there.
When that is secured, you can fold up the motherboard, add in the three screws to secure it, then put your panel back on. Now you're ready to sort static free!
