Power Up Procedure
If the Startup Guide has been followed to this point, the machine should be ready to turn on. Air and fluid should be ready
to connect to the system, and may now be opened to pressurize the machine. For Pendant usage directions, refer to the
8.1 Pendant Guide
. Always look for and correct leaks on the Binks EMS.
Startup for
systems without
gun flush boxes:
1. Turn the utility switch to standby
mode. Ensure all compressed air and
fluid sources are connected to the
EMS and energized.
2. Turn the power switch to on. Select PRIME by pressing F3 on
the pendant.
3. With atomizing air off for this step, trigger the spray
gun into a grounded metal waste container. Press F2 for
Hardener Enable and allow the pump to stroke for at least
2 full cycles (typically about 30 seconds), allowing all air to
be removed from the inner chambers.
5. Press F2 again to turn off the Hardener Enable. Release gun
trigger.
6. Ensure Color 0 shows in the display box and press F3 to
enable the Resin. Trigger the gun until solvent is loaded in
the fluid lines.
7. Repeat the Resin load process for all system colors to ensure
functionality and to clear air from the fluid lines. After each
color has been loaded into the fluid lines, be sure to load
with solvent (color 0) so that the inner passageways remain
clean and all residual air is removed.
8. Return to the Home screen by pressing the HOME button
on the pendant.
9. Press the SETUP button (F4 from the home screen). Proceed
through each page and enter the desired values for every
screen. Refer to
8.1 Pendant Guide
for more information
about each screen.
10. Verify the Pot Life Check Volume (cc) setting is correct for
the fluid line setup. Refer to the Hose Size table below.
11. For each color used in the system, an initial calibration
must be performed to maintain a proper mixed ratio.
Advance to the
9.3 Flow Meter Calibration
page, and
perform the test.
12. After settings have been adjusted as needed, turn the
Utility Switch to MIX mode.
13. Press the Color button, and load the desired color.
14. After the completion of the color load, energize atomizing
air and spray.
15. When spraying is complete, shut off atomizing air and
perform a color change or flush as required.
Startup for
systems with
gun flush boxes:
1. Turn the utility switch to Standby
mode. Ensure all compressed air and
fluid sources are connected to the
EMS and energized.
2. Turn the power switch to on. Select PRIME by pressing F3 on
the pendant.
3. Place the spray gun in the gun box and close the lid.
4. Press F2 for hardener enable and allow the pump to cycle
for about 30 seconds to prime the pump and hardener
line to the mix manifold. Press F2 again when the Pump
is primed and no air bubbles are visible in the fluid line
leading to the mix manifold.
5. Ensure color 0 shows in the Color Valve box and press F3
to prime solvent. Press F3 again when solvent is visible
downstream from the mix manifold.
6. Repeat this process for the remaining paint colors. Follow
up this prime process with a color 0 (solvent) prime again to
clear resin from the lines and mix manifold.
7. Return to the Home screen by pressing the HOME button
on the pendant.
8. Press the SETUP button (F4 from the home screen). Proceed
through each page and enter the desired values for every
screen. Refer to
8.1 Pendant Guide
for more information
about each screen.
9. Verify Pot Life Check Volume using the chart below.
10. Calibrate the flow meter and ratio using the Calibration -
Resin + Hardener screen. See
9.3 Flow Meter Calibration
for instructions.
11. Turn the utility switch to MIX mode.
12. Press the color button on the pendant, load the desired
color. The system will stop automatically when the mixed
material is loaded.
13. Remove the gun from the gun box, close the gun box lid,
and spray.
14. When spraying is complete, place the gun in the gun
box and close the lid. Perform a color change or flush as
required.
