Overview

Usage

The ProMix Easy can mix most two-component paints. It 
is not for use with “quick-setting” paints (those with a pot 
life of less than 5 minutes) without modification. Contact 
your distributor for information.

The ProMix Easy is operated with the User Interface, Air 
Controls and Fluid Controls, described below and on 
page 10. Refer to F

2.

Start button 

 to initiate functions.

3.

Stop button 

 to terminate functions.

4.

Key switch to change ratio, pot life time, pot life vol-
ume, or calibration data.

5.

Display (five digits) to view:
•

Software revision level at startup

•

Ratio

•

Pot life time and reset volume

•

Alarm codes

•

Sensor calibration factor.

6.

Data port allows for connection to a PC serial port 
to download volume totalizer, operation, ratio set-
ting, and error alarm data.

Function

Spray: proportion and spray material.

Run A: operate A independent of B (prim-
ing, flushing) for 12 cycles (500 cc with 
meter).

Run B: operate B independent of A (prim-
ing, flushing) for 12 cycles (500 cc with 
meter).

Batch Dispense: dispense proportioned 
amounts of A and B (1 pint/500 cc).

Pump Test: dispense predetermined 
amount of A and B to verify pump opera-
tion.

Recirculation: circulate fluid A and/or B up 
to the mix manifold.

Pot Life Timer: display potlife time left.

Pressure Relief/Park: allows pressure relief 
and runs pumps to the bottom of stroke. 
See page 14.

•

System totalizers count in Spray and Batch 
Dispense functions only.

•

A and B Indicators (LT) show which dispense 
valve(s) is open.

WARNING

To avoid impairing intrinsic safety and reduce the risk 
of fire and explosion, the PC must be in a non-hazard-
ous location and a safety barrier must be installed 
between the PC and ProMix Easy unit. See ProMix 
Easy data download kit manual 309623.

. 1. User Interface

You must recalibrate the circuit board whenever the 
main circuit board, software, or sensor is replaced, 
or when Alarm 8 occurs. See Recalibrate
