Troubleshooting Guide

(Bold numbers in the text refer to Figure 5.)

Causes

In the gun:
– Gun cable defective

– High-voltage part defective

– O-ring (

21

) defect or miss-

ing

- Injector, check valve or throt-

tling at injector, powder hose
or gun clogged

- Insert sleeve in injector is

worn

No conveying air:
- Reducing valve defective

- Solenoid valve defective

- Electronics board (PCB)

defective

- High-Voltage too low

- Gun connector, gun cable

 or gun cable connector is
defect

- High-Voltage cascade is

defect

- Electronics board (PCB)

defect

- Workpiece not properly

grounded

Faults

High-voltage display does not
show any value even though
the Control module is switched
on.

During the spraying process
air escapes from the gun shaft

Gun does not spray powder
although the Control module
is switched on

Gun sprays powder, LED at
the rear of the cascade is
not lit, powder does not ad-
here to the workpiece

Gun sprays powder, High-
Voltage present, powder
does not adhere to the
workpiece

Remedies

Replace or mail in for repair
Mail in the gun for possible
repair

Replace or insert

Clean corresponding part
