Installation
Before starting installation of the Graco SST Switch 3D
Gun, refer to the
familiar with the various parts of the SST Switch 3D
Gun.
To ensure trouble free operation of the SST Switch 3D
Gun, it is important that the unit is properly installed on
the robot. It is important that the function of the SST
Switch 3D Gun is carefully checked before start up.
The SST Switch 3D Gun has multiple robot mounting
options which can be purchased separately from Graco.
See SST Switch 3D Gun Mounting Kits Manual,
(3A8066) for instructions and parts for mounting to a
specific robot. For typical installation of a SST Switch 3D
Gun see
SST Switch 3D Gun Installation
section.
Inspect the SST Switch 3D Gun for shipping damage. If
there is damage notify the shipping carrier immediately.
Grounding
The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a basic SST Switch 3D gun installation.
The specific system and robot being used may include
other equipment or objects that must be grounded.
Check local codes for detailed grounding instructions.
SST Switch 3D Gun:
Ground through a connection to a
properly grounded material hose and pump.
Pump:
See your pump manual.
Material hoses:
Use only electrically conductive hoses
with a maximum of 100 ft. (30.5 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the
electrical resistance of the material hoses at least once
a week. If the total resistance to ground exceeds 25
megohms, replace the hose immediately. Use a meter
that is capable of measuring resistance at this level.
Fluid supply container:
Follow local codes.
Solvent pails used when flushing:
Follow local codes.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded
surface. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure:
hold metal part of the SST Switch
3D Gun firmly to the inside of a grounded metal pail,
then trigger the valves.

Typical Required Parts and Installation of
SST Switch 3D Gun
The following parts are used in a typical installation of
the SST Switch 3D Gun and are normally required.
Some parts may vary depending on specific robot and
options. SST Switch 3D Gun mounting kits may be
purchased separately from Graco.
•
1 pc. Graco SST Switch 3D Gun with nozzle head
and nozzle cap.
•
1 pc. robot mounting flange.
•
1 pc. anti-rotation bracket.
•
1 pc.
for all SST Switch 3D
Guns.
•
1 pc.
guns with temperature and/or pressure sensor.
•
2 pcs. guide pin Ø 6mm.
•
3 pcs. M6x20 hex socket head screws.
•
4 pcs. hex socket head screws.
•
3 pcs nozzle assembly kits.
•
1 pc. 8 mm polyurethane air hose.
•
1 pc. material supply hose with 1/2 in. BSPP fittings.
To avoid personal injury, be especially careful when
connecting the high pressure material supply system
and always keep clear of the nozzles when test spray-
ing.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to
ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire
for the electric current.
