Vector Solo Waterborne Applicators - Installation
INSTALLATION

Ransburg
Typical installations to spray non-flamma-
ble conductive materials (waterborne mate-
rials) must not be used to handle flammable
materials (solvent based materials). Refer
to the "Introduction" section for definition of
water-based and solvent-based materials.

INSTALLATION
GUIDELINES
Using waterborne coating with electrostatic equip-
ment requires that the fluid source be isolated from
ground. Precautions should be taken to ensure
operator safety and system efficiency.
The following guidelines should be followed:
• The fluid lines and source MUST be isolated
from ground. an isolating paint stand or similar
isolating (non-porous) material MUST be used.
Never use wood products, wooden
boxes, pallets, or boards as an isolator.
wood contains moisture and is a poor in-
sulator. Electrical current passing through
these materials can ignite them, causing a
hazardous condition.
C A U T I O N
!
Isolation stands MUST be at least 45.7 cm
(18 inches) from grounded booth walls,
chain link fences, or other grounded objects.
Air hoses to the pressure pot or pump on the
insulating stand should be non-conductive
plastic. Many rubber hoses will have static
grounding circuits or carbon content and are
NOT suitable for this application.
All charged (isolated) systems MUST be
inside a fence or cage to prevent contact by
personnel. An interlock system MUST be
provided that interrupts high voltage flow to
the applicator if the gate is opened.
Air regulators for pots or pumps should be
mounted remotely outside the fence or cage
area to facilitate changes in pressure without
shutting the system down.
Grounding hooks at the cage MUST be used
to ground the system when personnel are
working close by.
Fluid lines to the applicator MUST be pro-
tected from scraping and abrasion on the
floor or sharp metal edges that could lead
to voltage pin holing and loss of kV on the
charged system.
Cleanliness and maintenance are extremely
critical.

borne Installation" in the "Installation" sec-
tion of this manual.
