Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the
risk of static sparking and electric shock. Electric
or static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Improper grounding can cause electric
shock. Grounding provides an escape wire for the
electric current.
•
Reactor:
System is grounded through the power
cord.
•
Spray gun:
connect whip hose ground wire to FTS.
See
Install Fluid Temperature Sensor, page 31
.
Do not disconnect ground wire or spray without
whip hose.
•
Fluid supply containers:
follow your local code.
•
Object being sprayed:
follow your local code.
•
Solvent pails used when lushing:
follow your local
code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive,
placed on a grounded surface. Do not place pail
on a nonconductive surface, such as paper or
cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
•
To maintain grounding continuity when lushing or
relieving pressure,
hold a metal part of spray gun
irmly to the side of a grounded
metal
pail, then
trigger gun.

Failure to properly size the equipment may result
in damage. To avoid damage to the equipment,
follow the guidelines listed below.
• Determine the correct size generator. Using the
correct size generator and proper air compressor
will enable the proportioner to run at a nearly
constant RPM. Failure to do so will cause voltage
luctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
Ensure that the generator matches the voltage and
phase of the proportioner.
Use the following procedure to determine the correct
size generator.
1. List peak wattage requirements of all system
components.
2. Add the wattage required by the system
components.
3. Perform the following equation:
Total watts x 1.25 = kVA (kilovolt-amperes)
4. Select a generator size that is equal to or greater
than the determined kVA.
• Use proportioner power cords that meet or exceed
the requirements listed in Table 4. Failure to do so
will cause voltage luctuations that can damage
electrical equipment, and may cause the power
cable to overheat.
• Use an air compressor with continuous run head
unloading devices. Direct online air compressors
that start and stop during a job will cause voltage
luctuations that can damage electrical equipment.
• Maintain and inspect the generator, air
compressor, and other equipment per the
manufacturer recommendations to avoid an
unexpected shutdown. Unexpected equipment
shutdown will cause voltage luctuations that can
damage electrical equipment.
• Use a wall power supply with enough current
to meet system requirements. Failure to do so
will cause voltage luctuations that can damage
electrical equipment.
