Ventilate the Spray Booth
Electrically interlock the gun air supply with the ventila-
tors to prevent gun operation without ventilating fans
operating. Check and follow all National, State, and
Local codes regarding air exhaust velocity require-
ments.
Components
. 1 or F
IG
. 2. Components vary by package
ordered. See tables on pages 8 to 12. Your package
may include:
•
The red-handled bleed-type master air valve (U) is
required in your system to relieve air trapped
between it and the air motor and gun when the valve
is closed. Do not block access to the valve.
•
The pump air regulator (X) controls pump speed
and outlet pressure by adjusting the air pressure to
the pump.
•
The air relief valve (not shown) opens automatically
to prevent overpressurization of the pump.
•
The gun air regulator (T) adjusts the air pressure to
the electrostatic air-assisted spray gun (H).
•
The electrostatic air-assisted spray gun (H) dis-
penses the fluid. The gun houses the spray tip (not
shown), which is available in a wide range of sizes
for different spray patterns and rates of flow. Refer to
gun manual for tip installation.
•
A gun swivel (J) allows freer gun movement.
•
The suction hose (N) with strainer (P) allows the
pump to draw fluid from a 5 gallon (19 liter) pail.
•
A fluid filter (F) with a 60 mesh (250 micron) stain-
less steel element filters particles from fluid as it
leaves the pump.
•
DataTrak (V) provides pump diagnostics and mate-
rial usage information. See page 26.
Supplied with Heated Electrostatic
Packages Only
•
The back pressure regulator (E) controls back pres-
sure to the gun and maintains proper circulation
pressure.
•
The 3-way valve (M) allows choice to circulate fluid
back to the pump or return it to the supply container.
•
A fluid drain valve (G) relieves fluid pressure in the
hose and gun.
•
The fluid heater (D) heats the fluid as it passes
through, to maintain the correct spraying viscosity.
Read and understand all instructions in the supplied
heater manual 309524 before operating the heater.
Air and Fluid Hoses
Ambient Models
•
The red hose (AA) provides the gun air supply.
•
The blue hose (Z) provides the gun fluid supply.
Heated Models
•
The hose bundle (L) supplies fluid and air to the
gun, and allows recirculation of fluid when the gun is
not triggered.
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of
flammable or toxic vapors. Do not operate the gun
unless ventilation fans are operating.
NOTICE
High velocity air exhaust will decrease the operat-
ing efficiency of the electrostatic system. Air
exhaust velocity of 100 ft/min (31 linear
meters/minute) should be sufficient.
