Gun Connections
Perform the following steps to install the gun cable, feed hose, and optional
gun air tubing.
See Figure 3-2.
1. Plug the three-socket end of the gun cable (4) into the multiplier
receptacle (1). Plug the six-pin end of the gun cable into the GUN
OUTPUT receptacle on the rear panel of the IPS control unit. Tighten
the cable retaining nuts at each end.
2. Install the feed hose. Secure the hose at both ends with snap clamps.
Install spiral-cut tubing around the hose wherever necessary to prevent
the hose from kinking and cutting off the flow of powder.
S
Standard Guns— Pinch the feed hose and slide it into the hose
bracket (See Figure 3-1, (6)) at the rear of the spray gun. Connect
the feed hose to the hose adapter (See Figure 3-1, (7)).
S
Guns with Optional Gun Air Kit— Connect the feed hose (6) to the
connector (3) at the diffuser.
NOTE: To increase powder flow and keep the distribution of powder in the
air even, keep the feed hose as short as possible. The hose should not be
more than 8-m (25-ft) long.
3.
Guns with Optional Gun Air Kit used with Versa-Spray II Control
Units— Install the gun air tubing. For instructions on connecting guns
with air to Versa-Spray control units, refer to the instructions shipped
with the upgrade kits.
a. Remove the plug from the GUN port on the control unit. Wrap the
restrictor (10) threads with PTFE tape. Install the restrictor into the
GUN port. Install the 6-mm tube connector (9) into the restrictor.
b. Install the gun air tubing between the connector and the tubing
connector (2).
4. Install 6-mm atomizing air tubing (7) and flow rate air tubing (8) between
the control unit and the pump (11).
5. Anchor the feed hose, gun cable, and air tubing to the gun mounting bar
and stand or to the reciprocator arm with spiral-cut tubing. Make sure
that the hose and cable cannot be abraded, cut, or run over by moving
equipment.
WARNING: All electrically conductive equipment in the spray area must be
grounded. Ungrounded or poorly grounded equipment can store an
electrostatic charge which can give personnel a severe shock or arc and
cause a fire or explosion.
6. Connect all conductive equipment to a true earth ground.
