AREAS OF APPLICATION
Incorrect use!
Risk of injury and damage to the device.
Only connect original Wagner spray guns to the VM 500 control unit.
Only connect the GM 5000EA or GM 5000EAC spray guns.
WARNING
The VM 500 control unit, together with the matching GM 5000EA or GM 5000EAC spray
gun and other components, form an electrostatic hand spray system. The VM 500 supplies
the control voltage for the spray gun, in which high-voltage is subsequently produced. The
high-voltage supply is switched on and off with the trigger of the spray gun.
The special linear characteristic for high-voltage ensures that if the spray gun is brought
too close to the work piece (or to earth) the high-voltage is reduced automatically to
prevent an accidental spark discharge.
The VM 500 control unit also off ers a fault display.
