8.10 AUTOMATIC ELECTROSTATIC SYSTEM SET FOR ELECTROSTATIC GUN GM5000
(OPTION)
The TC VM5000 automatic electrostatic system set serves as an additional safety device for
the safe use of the TwinControl 2K system with a GM 5000 electrostatic gun. However, the
operator has a duty to proceed in compliance with the following instructions.
Four possible operating states of the TwinControl system:
1. Paint filling
Switch off the electrostatic system.
2. Spraying mode
The electrostatic system is enabled.
3. Work interruption (stop)
Switch off the electrostatic system.
4. Flushing
Switch off the electrostatic system.
8.10.1 COMMISSIONING AND SETTINGS
Perform commissioning and parameter settings as described in the operating manuals for
the electrostatic guns and control units.
Settings on the pressure switch
The pressure sensor is set to the lower switching point of 2 bar at the factory. If the switching
point setting needs to be adjusted, proceed as described in the assembly manual for the
automatic electrostatic system set (order no. 2334831).
Settings on the VM5000 control unit
Device configuration settings must be undertaken on the VM 5000 control unit.
Please follow the safety instructions and instructions in the VM 5000 operating manual.
Undertake the device configuration settings in the VM 5000:

Function test
After commissioning, a function test is required in accordance with the assembly manual
for the automatic electrostatic system set, order no. 2334831.
8.10.2 PAINT FILLING
Safety precautions:
Before product can be filled with the TwinControl system, the electrostatic system on the
VM 5000 control unit must be switched off manually. This ensures that under no circumstances
will solvent be sprayed if the electrostatic system is switched on. The electrostatic system can
cause ignitable solvent-air mixtures to explode.
1. Switch off the electrostatic system on the VM 5000 control unit manually as described
in the VM 5000 operating manual.
2. Perform product filling as described in this operating manual (TwinControl). The "Work"
illuminated display flashes during filling.
3. When the filling process is complete, the illuminated display "Work" is lit up continuously.
Attention:
It must be ensured that the filling quantity is set correctly on the system. At the end of the
filling process, the product hose must be filled with product that can be sprayed up to the
end of the gun nozzle. In other words, product that can be sprayed (without solvent) must
come out of the gun nozzle.
