Warnings

WARNING

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard

Equipment misuse can cause the equipme nt to ma lfunction an d cause a fire, ex plosion, or ele ctric shock, resulting in death or serious injury. Improper ground ing, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in a fire, explosion, or electric shock.

• This equipment is for professional use only.

• Read all manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment.

• Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personn el who understand the

Warnings

requirements in this manual.

• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. If you are uncertain, call your Graco distributor.

• Do not alter or modify equipment. Use only genuine Graco parts and accessories.

• Check the equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

• Only use the probe to test direct negative current (DC) electrostatic voltage.

• Only use this equipment to test Graco Pro Xs Electrostatic Gun Models. Never use it to test “stiff” or “hot” systems.

• Always ground the fixture, probe, and kV meter as described in this manual.

• Ground or remove all metal and conductive objects, including tools, from the test area.

• Never touch the probe above its handle while te stin g.

• Never use the fixture to test the gun turbine alternator or p ower supply in a hazardous location.

• Never test the power supply without the probe shroud installed.

Operation

Testing the Gun While It is Operating

WARNING

Pressurized Equipment Hazard

Before testing the gun, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in your gun manual to

reduce the risk of fluid injection or splashing of fluid in the eyes or on the skin.

NOTE: The maximum voltage read by the kV meter a nd probe may be less than the rated voltage of the gun or power supply that you are testing. This is due to voltage losses that are intrinsic to the measurement of high voltage in air. These losses include current draw through the probe and meter and also the inability to capture 100% of the electrons being emitted by the gun electrode.

1. Connect the probe’s red wire (D) to the kV meter (2) and its green/yellow ground wire (C) to a true earth ground (B). See F

2. Connect the kV meter’s green/yellow ground wire (6) between the kV meter (2) ground connection an d a true earth ground (B).

3. Holding onto the probe (3) handle, touch the end of the probe to the spray gun electrode (A). Move the end of the probe slightly until the maximum kV reading is obtained.

4. Read the voltage on the kV meter (2). Refer to Table 1 for your gun model.

NOTE: When the kV meter (2) is not in use, place a jumper wire across the kV meter connectors to prevent excessive needle movement.

WARNING

Sound Hazard

To reduce the risk of hearing loss or damage, always wear hearing protection when operating the turbine alternator.

CAUTION

Operation

3. Place the 3-pin connector (J) through the side window (M) and connect it to the turbine alternator connector (K). The orientation of the 3-pin connector does not affect the test. See F

IG. 3.

To avoid demagnetization of the alternator, never place it close to another alternator or any other ferromagnetic objects.

1. Remove the turbine alternator from the power supply as instructed in the spray gun manual. Bring the equipment to a non-hazardous location to do the testing.

WARNING

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or electric shock, which can result in serious injury and property damage, never use the Gr aco Pro Xs and Pro Xp Test Fixture to test the gun turbine alternator or power supply in a hazardous location.

4. Lubricate the alternator o-ring with non-silicone grease, Part No. 111265. Do not over-lubricate.

NOTE: For Pro Xp alternators, insert the spacer (22) into the fixture (H) before inserting the alternator (L).

5. Place the turbine alternator (L) inside the fixture (H), with the slot (G) facing the side window (M). Use the alignment tool (21) to push the alternator into the housing cavity. Tighten the top locking screw (8) until the screw extends past the alterna to r tab .

6. Connect the probe shroud (16) to the fixture (H) with the screw (17).

2. Visually inspect the turbine alternator (L). See F

2. If any of the holes (R) are plugged, unplug them. If excess wear appears on the alternator bearings or shaft, replace or rebuild the alternator. See Acces- sories to order a Turbine Alternator Repair Kit.

IG. 4.

8. Connect an air line (E) to the fixture. Set the air pressure to 26 psi (1.8 bar, 0.18 MPa).

9. Measure the turbine alternator AC voltage output with a voltmeter (N), measuring across the fixture terminals (9) as shown in F

IG. 4.

NOTE: To measure frequency and voltage, you need a multimeter. See Accessories.

The turbine alternator voltage should read in the range shown in Table 2 . If the readings vary from these values, replace the alternator or rebuild it. See

Accessories to order an Alternator Repair Kit.

Table 2: Turbine Alternator Voltage

Gun Model Frequency (Hz) Voltage (V)

All Pro Xs Models 625 Hz maximum 6.4 V minimum All Pro Xp Models 575 Hz maximum 6.4 V minimum

10. Remove the probe shroud (16).

11. Disconnect the 3-pin connector (J) and loosen the locking screw (8). Use the plunger (F) on the back of the fixture to push out the turbine alternator.

12. Test the alternator coil by measuring the resistance between the two outer terminals of the 3-pin connector (K) with a multimeter. The resistance should be 2.5-3.5 ohms.

Measure the resistance between each outer terminal of the 3-pin connector and the exterior of the turbine alternator (L). The resistance should be greater than 400 ohms.

If the readings vary from these values, replace the alternator coil.

Operation

Testing the Power Supply Cartridge

NOTE: You do not use the fixture's 3-pin connector (J)

to test the power supply cartridge.

1. Remove the power supply cartridge from the gun as instructed in your spray gun manual and bring the equipment to a non-hazardous location to do the testing.

WARNING

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or electric shock, which can result in serious injury and property damage:

•Never use the Graco Pro Xs Test Fixture to test the gun turbine alternator or power supply in a hazardous location.

8. Connect the kV meter's green/yellow ground wire (6) between the kV meter and a true earth ground.

9. Connect the fixture's grounding clamp (12) to a true earth ground.

10. Connect an air line (E) to the fixture. Set the air pressure to 30 psi (0.21 MPa, 2.1 bar).

11. Read the power supply cartridge voltage output with the kV meter. See Table 3 for typical readings.

3. Install the power supply cartridge (P) into the fixture (H), orientated as shown in F Xp guns, the cartridge must be rotated 15 degrees. Push the cartridge into the fixture until the alternator bottoms out in the cavity. Tighten the screw (8) until snug. Do not overtighten.

4. Secure the shroud (16) to the fixture (H) with the screw (17).

5. Lubricate the probe o-ring (5) to ease insertion into the shroud.

6. Insert the probe (3) into the shroud (16) and touch its tip to the end of the power supply.

7. Connect the probe's red wire (D) to the kV meter and its green/yellow ground wire (C) to a true earth ground (B). See F
