Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate
operation and maintenance
procedures will cause a fire
hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of
causing fire or explosion is lost
if any safety interlocks are
disabled during operation.
Frequent Power Supply or
Controller shutdown indicates
a problem in the system
requiring correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in
the spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
•
Those used for equipment flushing should
have flash points equal to or higher than those
of the coating material.
•
The flash point of the cleaning solvent shall
be at least 15° C (27° F) above the ambient
temperature. Otherwise, the cleaning process
must be carried out in an area with forced air
ventilation. It is the end users responsibility to
insure this condition is met.
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the
rates required by NFPA-33, OSHA, country, and
local codes. In addition, ventilation must be
maintained during cleaning operations using
flammable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between
the parts being coated and the applicator. A
distance of 1 inch for every 10KV of output
voltage is required at all times.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but
only as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or
unauthorized equipment modifications may
cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during setup operations. Production should
never be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in
waterborne installations to spray solvent based
materials.
The paint process and equipment should be
set up and operated in accordance with NFPA-
33, NEC, OSHA, local, country, and European
Health and Safety Norms.
