AREAS OF APPLICATION
Incorrect use!
Risk of injury and equipment damage.
Only connect original Wagner spray guns or the Wagner
high-voltage Universal cascade to the VM 5000 control unit.
Only connect the GM 5000EA or GM 5000EAC spray guns.
WARNING
The VM 5000 control unit, together with the matching GM 5000EA or GM 5000EAC spray
gun and other components, form an electrostatic hand spray system. The VM 5000 supplies
the control voltage for the spray gun, in which high-voltage is subsequently produced. The
set value for high-voltage and the spray current limiting are adjusted on the control unit
and can be saved in three diff erent recipes. The high-voltage supply is switched on and off
with the trigger of the spray gun.
The special linear characteristic for high-voltage ensures that if the spray gun is brought
too close to the work piece (or to earth) the high-voltage is reduced automatically to
prevent an accidental spark discharge.
Additionally, the VM 5000 control unit can be used as a universal high-voltage generator,
in combination with the high-voltage Universal cascade.
In addition, the VM 5000 control unit has a wide range of other functions, such as an
operating hours counter, service interval display, external approval, fault display and an
easy-to-use interface.
