1. Safety warnings and warranty limits
• Prior to cleaning the atomizer or undertaking any other work in the spraying area, power to the high
voltage generator and system must be shut off and locked out.
• Metal containers, properly grounded, should be used for cleaning solvents.
• The mechanical and electrical properties of the SAMES Technologies high voltage electrostatic
generators and atomizers are designed to reduce this risk of sparks. The HV applicator must main-
tain at least a 1 inch per 10kV, distance from ground.
Moreover, it is essential to ensure that all conductive and semi conductive parts less than 10 feet from the
atomizer are properly grounded, otherwise it is possible to accumulate electrical charges which could
generate a spark. The same rules apply to personnel however the wearing of antistatic footwear and
gloves will limits this risk.
The spraying area must be fitted with an antistatic floor, such as unpainted concrete, metal grating, etc....
CAUTION : In all cases, the codes in force concerning spraying of paints and flammable liquids
must be strictly observed.
WARNING : Always switch the power supply off before disconnecting the low voltage cable from
the UHT 153 high voltage cascade.
Always make sure the UHT 153 high voltage cascade is connected before
switching the power supply on.
