9. Commissioning of the AIR Flocker PRO
This chapter describes how the AIR Flocker PRO can be put into operation after proper and
professional installation.
Commissioning is understood to mean connecting the AFP to the power supply and testing
the AFP for function.
The following description of commissioning refers to the use of the AFP in conjunction with
the associated electrostatic manual spraying device (Flocking Gun).
The initial start-up is carried out
without flock in the flock storage container.
- To avoid electric shocks and burns, do not touch the ball
electrode (44) after making the power connection.
- To avoid high-voltage flashovers to flocking objects or machine parts, a minimum
distance of 10 cm from the ball electrode (44) to flocking objects or machine parts
must be maintained.
9.1. Commissioning of the AIR Flocker PRO
1.
Establish the power connection. To do this, plug the Powercon connector into the
connector (2) on the front of the AFP. The mains plug is plugged into the mains socket
provided.
2.
Insert the HV connector plug of the flocking gun into the HV connector socket of the
AFP. It is essential to ensure that the entire plug is dry and clean.
3.
Screw the union nut only slightly tight.
4.
Push the air hose over the connection on the AFP and secure it with the clamp. Insert
the end of the hose wire into the ground socket and screw it tight.
5.
Connect the ground wire for grounding your workpiece to the screw with the wing nut
and screw it tight. Also connect the ground wire for grounding the AFP here.
6.
Turn the main switch (1) clockwise to the I ON position.
7.
The display shows the last preset called up (preset 1 is preset during initial start-up).
8.
Now the AIR Flocker PRO is ready for operation. When the switch of the flocking gun
is actuated, the fan, the dosing and the high voltage are started with the set parameters.
9.
The blower is briefly brought up to maximum speed to blow out any excess flock still in
the hose. Afterwards, the blower will ramp down to the set value. The duration of the
blow-out process can be set in the advanced menu.
