ESD Protective Measures for Prepress Systems and Users
Basics
Devices from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG are
resistant to electrostatic discharges (within the limits
of EN 55024:2001).
In order to protect devices and users from being
unnecessarily exposed to such discharges, we have
listed a few tips below that will help reduce the frequency and intensity of the discharges.
XEdition September 2005
ABCBefore You Start ...
Formation
In a prepress environment, this physical phenomenon occurs most frequently as a result of triboelectricity. In such cases, electrostatic charges are generated when bodies that have close contact are
separated.
Examples:
0
Walking across non-conductive (insulating) flooring (e.g. synthetic floor covering)
0
Removing the slip sheet from the plate
0
Getting up off a seat
The intensity of these charges is determined basically
by the following parameters:
0
Humidity
0
Roughness of the material surface
0
Pressure/space when in contact
0
Conductivity of the materials
Practical Tips
The following practical tips are to help reduce the
number and intensity of electrostatic discharges
when handling the devices:
0
Install the devices in rooms that have conductive
floor covering.
0
Resistance to ground < 1x109 ohms (IEC/EN 61340-
-5). Synthetic carpeting does not comply with this
requirement in the majority of cases. Pure concrete flooring generally has a low volume resistance. If you have non-conductive floor covering,
the use of ESD mats placed on the operator side of
the devices is recommended. These mats can be
Suprasetter 74/105 – OperationXI
Before You Start ...ABC
obtained from suppliers. However, in such a case,
existing charges are only slowly reduced depending on the shoes that the personnel wear. For personal safety, the resistance of floor to ground
should not fall below 10
0
The humidity at the installation site should not
5
ohms.
fall below 45% relative humidity. High air humidity is a decisive factor in preventing the formation
of electrostatic charges. For example, a relative
humidity of 10 - 20% will produce 35,000 V when
crossing a carpet. This value drops to 1,500 V with
a relative air humidity of 65 - 90%.
0
Clothing where cotton material is >50%.
0
Conductive seating.
0
ESD shoes that can be obtained from suppliers and
are used on conductive flooring help further to
reduce charges when walking across floor coverings.

ABCIntroduction
1 Introduction
Description of the Unit and its Functions
The Suprasetter 74/105 is a high-speed, PostScript™compatible, computer-to-plate imaging device.
It images thermal printing plates in daylight operation.
The Suprasetter 74/105 receives screened data from
the RIP for imaging onto printing plates. The printing
plates are placed manually on the insertion table or
loaded by the Single Cassette Loader. The Suprasetter
74/105 automatically loads the printing plate onto
the drum, images it, punches it (option) and then
transports the imaged plate back to the insertion
table or, if an online processor is connected, directly
to the processor.
