Problem
Cause
Solution
ES On/Off switch is OFF (O).
Turn ON (I).
Gun air pressure too low (ES
indicator is amber).
Check air pressure to gun;
minimum 45 psi (0.32 MPa, 3.2
bar) needed at gun for full voltage.
Atomizing air pressure too high.
Decrease.
Incorrect distance from gun to part. Should be 8-12 in. (200-300 mm).
Poorly grounded parts.
Resistance must be 1 megohm or
less. Clean workpiece hangers.
Faulty gun resistance.
See
Test Gun Resistance, page 31
.
Low fluid resistivity.
See
Check Fluid Resistivity, page 26
.
Fluid leaks from the packing (2c)
and causes a short.
See
Packing Rod Repair, page 40
.
Poor wrap.
Faulty alternator.
See
Alternator Removal and
Replacement, page 44
.
ES On/Off switch is OFF (O).
Turn ON (I).
ES or Hz indicator is not lit.
No power.
Check power supply, alternator,
and alternator ribbon cable. See
Power Supply Removal and
Replacement, page 43
and
Alternator Removal and
Replacement, page 44
.
Operator not grounded or is near
ungrounded object.
See
Grounding, page 21
.
Operator gets mild shock.
Gun not grounded.
See
Check Gun Electrical
Grounding, page 25
, and
Test Gun Resistance, page 31
.
Operator gets shock from
workpiece.
Workpiece not grounded.
Resistance must be 1 megohm or
less. Clean workpiece hangers.
