Spray Gun Control Card Removal/Installation
Replacing a Spray Gun Control Card
WARNING: Do not remove spray gun control cards from the card cage while they are
powered. Either shut off console power or shut off the booth exhaust fan so that the
interlock will remove power from the spray gun control cards. Failure to observe this
warning could result in damage to the cards.
CAUTION: Do not turn off console power without first performing a program shutdown.
Doing so could corrupt the iControl 2 program and operating system on the program
card. Refer to
Program Shutdown in the Configuration
section of the
iControl Operator
Interface
manual for the shutdown procedure.
CAUTION: The spray gun control cards are electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD). To
prevent damage to the cards when handling them, wear a grounding wrist strap
connected to the iControl 2 enclosure or other ground. Handle the cards only by their top
and bottom edges.
See Figure 5-1. Spray gun control cards (2) are installed in the card cage from left to
right. Each card controls two spray guns: the bottom receptacle is the odd spray gun
number; the top receptacle is the even spray gun number.
To remove a card, disconnect the spray gun harness connectors (3 and 4), pull down the
locking tab (5), then pull the card out of the card cage.
To install a new card, slide the card into the slots in the card cage and seat the card’s
finger board firmly into the connector slot on the backplane (6). Push the locking tab up
to lock the card into the card cage. Connect the spray gun harness to the two receptacles
on the card.
Adding Spray Guns
If the console has an odd number of spray guns, it is possible to add another spray gun
without adding another spray gun control card. If the console has an even number of
spray guns less than 16, add more spray guns by installing a new spray gun control
card in an unused slot. Refer to System Upgrades in the Installation section for more
information on adding spray guns to an existing system.
For either scenario, open the Guns and Consoles configuration screen, increase
the number of spray guns, and reboot the system before the new spray guns will be
recognized.
NOTE: Cards are installed in the card cage from left to right. Spray guns are numbered
from left to right and bottom to top.
