COMMISSIONING
6.9.1 PRESETTINGS
– Limit high voltage to a max. of 80 kV
– Limit current to approx. 500 µA
– Ideal operation with 70 kV and 350 µA, to minimize the wear of the air deflector
ring and the electrode fingers.
– Switching the high voltage off during coating pauses in order to avoid unnecessary
stress on the electrode fingers and air deflector ring.
– Ensure good grounding of the work pieces
– Ensure high air humidity in the booth (> 60%)
– Select the smallest possible bell plate
– When using aggressive water-based lacquers, use a titanium bell plate
– Regularly clean the air deflector ring and the fingers to minimize the discharge
currents
