Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce
the risk of static sparking and electric shock.
Electric or static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an
escape wire for the electric current.

Hose: use only Reactor 3 hoses to ensure
static ground continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses from the gun to the

exceeds 29 mega Ohms, replace hose(s)
immediately.

Failure to properly size the generator may
result in damage. To avoid damage to the
equipment, follow the guidelines listed below.
• Determine the correct size generator. Using
the correct size generator and proper air
compressor will enable the proportioner to
run at a nearly constant RPM. Failure to do
so will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment. To determine
the correct size generator:
1. List peak wattage requirements of all
system components.
2. Add the wattage required by the system
components.
3. Perform the following equation:
Total watts x 1.25 = kVA
(kilovolt-amperes)
4. Select a generator size that is equal to or
greater than the determined kVA.
• Size the proportioner power cord using the
electrical ratings in
. Failure
to do so will cause voltage fluctuations that
can damage electrical equipment.
• Use an air compressor with continuous run
head unloading devices. Direct online air
compressors that start and stop during a
job will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment.
• Maintain and inspect the generator, air
compressor, and other equipment per the
manufacturer recommendations to avoid
an unexpected shutdown. Unexpected
equipment shutdown will cause voltage
fluctuations that can damage electrical
equipment.
• Use a wall power supply with enough current
to meet system requirements. Failure to do
so will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment.
