General Safety Rules

Keep your workplace well organized
A disorganized workplace creates a hazard.

Take the environmental influences into consideration
Do not expose the manual system to rain. Do not use the manual system in a damp or wet environment. Ensure good illumination. Do not use power tools near flammable liquids or gases.

Store your tools carefully
Unused tools should be stored in a dry, locked room and out of the reach of not authorized persons.

Do not use the cable for purposes other than those intended
Do not carry the spraygun by the cable and do not use it to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp objects.

Do not over-reach your standing position
Avoid abnormal body positions. Ensure stable footing and always keep your balance.

Wear suitable work clothing

Use breathing protection
Use breathing protection for work which produces dust.

Take good care of the manual system
Keep the system clean to ensure that it works well and safety. Check the plug and line cord regularly and have them replaced by customer service if damaged. Check the extension cord regularly and replace it when damaged.

Always remain alert
Watch your work. Proceed in a reasonable manner. Do not use tools when you lack concentration.

Check your equipment for damage
Before using the manual system, carefully inspect slightly worn parts for proper operation. Check whether the moving parts operate properly, whether they jam and whether parts are damaged.

All parts must be properly mounted in order to ensure proper operation of the unit. Damaged parts should be repaired or replaced by a customer service.

Warning

For your own safety, use only accessories and equipment listed in the operating manual. The use of individual parts other than those recommended in the operating manual may create a hazard to personal safety.

Use only original replacement parts!

Safety-related information concerning harmless discharge

When the high voltage is turned on, a glow or corona discharge, that is only visible in a dark environment, occurs at the electrode tip. When the electrode approaches the grounded workpiece, this physical phenomenon can be observed.

This glow discharge does not provide any ignition power and does not have any influence on the handling of the installation. When the electrode approaches the workpiece, the control device automatically reduces the high voltage to a safe level or turns off the high voltage depending on the setting.

If the finger comes in contact with the plastic parts of the spraygun, harmless discharges (so-called brush discharges) can occur. The charging of the plastic parts is caused by the high voltage electrostatic field of the gun. However, these discharges do not provide any ignition power.

If low temperature powders are used the ambient temperature may have to be lower than 30°C.


2.4 Manual powder system 2007 - 70LR operation

The powder is fed to the powder gun (C) via the powder injector (B). Through supplying of fluid air into the fluid base of the powder tank (A), a homogeneous powder/air mixture is ensured during the entire feed operation.

The electrostatics and the powder quantity are controlled by means of the control unit (D).

The fluid air quantity can be adjusted with the one-way valve (E), attached to the equipment trolley.


2.4.1 Manual powder system (Corona): 2007/C - 70LR

A high DC voltage (up to 100 KV), applied across the grounded component and the electrode fitted to the gun body generates an electric field and applies a negative charge to the powder particles. The particles repel each other as they move from gun to workpiece and so distribute evenly through the fine powder cloud and then uniformly deposit on the grounded surface. Particles shooting past the component remain trapped in the electric field and deposit on the backside of the work object.


2.4.2 Manual powder system (Tribo): 2007/T - 70LR

Each individual powder particle is charged by a tribo-electric charge separation. Every particle obtaines its own powder-specific maximum positive charge. The particles
repel each other as they move from gun to workpiece and so distribute evenly through the fine powder cloud and then uniformly deposit on the grounded surface. Particles shooting past the component remain trapped in the electric field and deposit on the backside of the work object.

  10. Connect gun cable to the corresponding socket at the back plate of the control unit.
  11. Connect power cable to the corresponding socket on the back plate of the control unit and secure with bracket.

3.3 Grounding

In order to achieve a good powder coating and for security reasons (see 1.1., safety regulations), the manual powder system 2007-Airfluid must be properly grounded.

Good grounding of the workpiece is necessary for optimum powder coating. A poorly grounded workpiece causes:

Warning

In installation with a mains cable without separate protective ground terminals it is absolutely necessary to connect the control unit via grounding screw at the back plate to
the system ground by a separate grounding cable!

Sparks between workpiece and conveyor hooks (hangers)
can occur if hooks or other hanger parts are not completely
cleaned!

Preconditions for good grounding as well as coating are:


3.4 Connection diagram with an Airmatic spraygun PEM-C2


3.5 Connection diagram with a Tribo spraygun PEM-T1


3.6 Basic adjustments

Preconditions:

Course order:

  1. Connect power cable of the manual powder system to (electrical) mains power.

Caution

The mains power connection must be eletrically interlocked with the exhaust air system of the powder spray booth.

  1. Turn on control unit.
  2. Turn the voltage regulator at the control unit counterclockwise beyond the switch point. This will prevent the high voltage and the powder delivery from turning on.
  3. The fluid air pressure can be closed with the one-way valve, attached to the equipment trolley.
  4. Turn dosage air, feeding air and atomizing air at the control unit to 0 setting.
  5. Turn off the control unit.
  6. For further procedure see paragraph 4.1. "Adjusting the powder cloud".

4. Operation

4.1 Adjusting the powder cloud

Preconditions:

Course order:

  1. Remove lid from powder tank and fill with powder

Caution

The powder tank may only be filled half way.

  1. Open fluid air pressure with the one-way valve (1 to 2 bar).

Caution

Avoid to much dust development.

  1. Close the powder tank again.
  2. Route exhaust air hose (E, see diagram at paragraph 3.2.) of the powder tank to the powder spray booth.
  3. Turn on control unit.
  4. Hold the spraygun into the spray booth, pull the trigger and adjust the powder cloud.
  5. Adjust feeding air, dosage air and atomizing air at the control unit:

For further information see operating manuals of control unit and spraygun
respectively.


4.2 Practical notes


4.3 Work interruption

Recommendation

The spraygun and the powder feeding parts should be blown through and cleaned from powder deposits with every interruption of work.

Course order:

1. Release trigger on spraygun:

2. Remove powder injector from the mount, to prevent further powder delivery.

3. Hold the spraygun into the spray booth, pull the trigger and blow through to remove powder deposits.

4. Turn off control unit:

5. Turn off compressed air supply:

It is recommended not to turn off the fluid air via the one-way valve. In this way you avoid having to readjust the fluid air when using the same powder paint.


4.4 Changing powder

Recommendation

When changing colors, all powder-transporting components must be cleaned thoroughly.


4.4.1 Changing powder when using one powder tank

Course order: Cleaning

  2. Perform basic adjustments, according to paragraph 3.6. .
  3. "Adjust the powder cloud", according to paragraph 4.1. .

4.4.2 Changing powder when using several powder tanks

Recommendation

It is recommended to use a separate powder tank for each color. This allows a color change to be carried out faster and reduces cleaning times to a minimum.

Course order: Cleaning

  4. Disconnect red feeding air hose and blue dosage air hose from the powder injector.
  5. Undo green fluid air hose from powder injector.
  6. Exchange powder tanks.
  7. Connect hoses in reversed order.

Course order: Re-starting

  1. The powder tank may only be filled half way.
  2. Perform basic adjustments, according to paragraph 3.6. .
  3. "Adjust the powder cloud", according to paragraph 4.1. .

5. Maintenance and cleaning

Weekly cleaning of the manual powder system ensures trouble-free operation.

The control unit is maintenance-free, when used acc. to this operating manual.

The wearing parts of the powder spraygun and the powder injector must be checked and replaced if necessary.

The spare parts are marked in the corresponding listings in this operating manual and in the separate operating manuals of the individual components.
