ANY ADJUSTMENTS IN THE PANEL ARE
MADE.
The purge timer is an internal function of the PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller) and is adjustable
in minutes. This timer should not be set any lower
than 3 minutes according to national codes. Consult
your paint supplier or manufacturer for
recommended flash-off time.
The bake timers are an internal function of the PLC
and are adjustable in minutes. Consult your paint
supplier or manufacturer for recommended bake
times.
The cool down timer is an internal function of the
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and is
adjustable in minutes. Generally this timer is set a
maximum of 10 minutes. This allows the operator to
set the paint booth to bake mode and go home in the
evening. The booth will complete the bake cycle,
cool down for 10 minutes, and then shut down
completely. The Off/Spray/Bake switch will need to
be set to the Off position to allow the booth to
operate after the system has gone through a cool
down cycle and shut off automatically.
Adjustment of the purge, bake, and cool down cycles
are made with the FTX handheld unit by a qualified
technician. These time sequences are internal of the
PLC.
When using the Touch Screen option adjustment of
the purge, bake, and cool down cycles can be made
from the bake timer display screen. There is also a
recipe settings display screen accessed from the
maintenance display screen. Complete setups for
spray and bake temperatures and purge, bake, and
cool down times can be set with a touch of a recipe
button.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
ENCLOSED PAINT BOOTH
FILTERS
To assure that the optimum-finishing environment
designed into your Garmat® Frontier Paint Booth
is maintained, filter replacement at recommended
intervals and regular cleaning of the booth and the
air-handling units is essential. Use only
recommended filters and insure that the filters are
properly installed.
The quality of finish produced by your Garmat®
paint booth is affected by the following:
a. The filter media used and the timeliness of filter
replacement.
b. The purity of compressed air used for applying
the finish. Use a quality filter and moisture trap on
compressed air lines supplying the booth. When
using a copper airline, make sure that all
connections to the equipment have di-electric
unions.
c. Spray guns and other application equipment
must be maintained perfectly clean and in proper
working order.
d. Personnel clothing (paint suits) should be
established for use only in the booth.
e. DO NOT mix paint within the booth.
f. LIMIT ACCESS to the booth.
g. DO NOT open booth doors unless the booth is
operating.
FILTER LOCATION- Two main filter groups
control the dust entering the booth and the paint
particles emitted by the booth.
EXHAUST FILTER CHANGE AT 50-60 HOUR
INTERVALS
The exhaust filters are located in the two towers
located at the back of the booth. To access the
filters rotate the access door latches, swing the
access doors open and slid the filter racks out. The
filter racks consist of two halves with one half
nested inside of the other. Separate the two halves
and remove the filter material and place in an air
tight container. Sweep and/or vacuum up all debris
