The following points should be noted before commissioning:
Lay grounding cable from the grounding screw on the device to the signal ground
and ensure that all other conductive parts within the working area are grounded.
Connect the VM 500 electrostatic control unit via the mains cable to the socket
interlocked with the extraction system.
Connect the spray gun cable to the connector socket and screw into place.
Connect the spray gun to the adjustable, clean air supply.
For compressed air quality, see operating manual for spray gun.
Connect the GM 5000EA or GM 5000EAC to the paint supply as described in the relevant
operating manuals.
Check that all product-conveying connections are correctly connected.
Check that all air-conveying connections are correctly connected.
Visually check the permissible pressures for all the system components.
Check the level of the separating agent in the pump and fill up if necessary.
Provide product tank, tanks for flushing agent and an empty tank for return flow.
The interface input on the rear side of the control unit has to be protected by the
cover.
Connect the system to the air supply.
When first commissioning the unit Flush the system in accordance with the operating
manuals for the other components.
6.8
VENTILATION OF THE SPRAY BOOTH
The electrostatic spraying equipment may only be operated in defined spraying areas and
in accordance with the EN 12215 standard or under comparable ventilation conditions.
The electrostatic spraying equipment must be locked to the technical ventilation so that
the coating product supply and the high voltage are not effective as long as the technical
ventilation is not operated with the minimum exhaust air volume flow or a larger exhaust
air volume flow.
Ensure that the excess coating product (overspray) will be collected up safely.
6.9
VERIFYING A SAFE OPERATIONAL CONDITION
A skilled person must check to ensure that the device and the spraying system are in a safe
state after they are installed and commissioned.
