Operator Controls

Two devices provide operator interface; they are the Operator Station and the Keypad on the EasyKey™ Display.

Operator Station

Used by the operator for daily painting functions including: choosing color, initiating report printing, reading/clearing
alarms, and placing the system in Standby, Mix, or Purge mode. It is typically mounted inside the booth or near the
painter. The Operator Station consists of an LED display, LED mode indicator, and input keys. F

Operation Modes

Mix

System mixes and dispenses material.

Standby

Stops the system.

Purge

Purges the system, using air and solvent.
