Overview

Overview

How the Electrostatic Air Spray Gun Works

The automatic electrostatic air spray gun operates very similar to a traditional air spray gun. The atomization and fan air are emitted from the air cap. The atomization air breaks up the fluid stream and controls the droplet size. The fan air controls the shape and width of the spray pattern. The fan and atomization air can be adjusted independently.

Operating the Spray Function

Applying a minimum of 50 psi (0.35 MPa, 3.5 bar) air pressure to the gun manifold’s cylinder air fitting (CYL) will retract the gun piston, which opens the air valves and a short time later opens the fluid needle. This pro­vides the proper air lead and lag when triggering the gun. A spring returns the piston when the cylinder air is shut off.

Operating the Electrostatics

Gun Features and Options

The gun is designed for use with a reciprocator, and
can be mounted directly on a 1/2 in. (13 mm) rod. With additional brackets, the gun can be mounted for robotic applications.
The gun’s quick-disconnect design enables its
removal without disconnecting the fluid and air lines to the gun.
Gun functions are activated from a separate control-
ler that sends the appropriate signal to the actuating solenoids.
The optional fiber optic readout system can be
installed to monitor the gun’s spraying voltage. A fiber optic cable connected to the gun manifold car­ries the signal from the gun to a remote display module. Part No. 224117 Display Module displays the gun’s spraying voltage and current. Bat­tery-operated Display Module 189762 displays the gun’s spraying voltage only.

Changing the kV Setting

To operate the electrostatics, apply air pressure to the gun manifold’s turbine air fitting (TA) through a Graco grounded air hose. The air enters the manifold and is directed to the inlet of the power supply turbine. The air spins the turbine, which then provides electrical power to the internal high voltage power supply and external charging probe. Atomized fluid particles become charged as they pass by the external probe, and are attracted to the grounded workpiece, evenly coating all surfaces. The external charging allows the fluid supply to remain grounded at all times, eliminating the need for an isolation system.
The turbine air is exhausted into the shroud and out the back of the manifold through the exhaust fitting (EXH). The exhaust air helps keep contaminants out and helps keep the gun clean.
For this external charge gun it is recommended that the gun be left at full voltage, but if needed the voltage can be reduced.
The gun’s full voltage setting is 60 kV. Three lower volt­age settings are possible by actuating the KV1 and KV2 switches. Supply 50 psi (0.35 MPa, 3.5 bar) air pressure to the KV1 and KV2 ports. Turn the air on or off as shown in Table 1 to set the desired voltage.
NOTE: The solenoid valves used to activate the KV1 and KV2 switches must bleed the air out of the lines for the switches to draw back to the higher voltage setting.

Warning Signs

Mount warning signs in the spray area where they can easily be seen and read by all operators. An English Warning Sign is provided with the gun.

Ventilate the Spray Booth

Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable or toxic vapors when spraying, flushing, or cleaning the gun. Do not operate the gun unless ventilation fans are operating.
Electrically interlock the gun air supply with the ventila­tors to prevent gun operation without ventilating fans operating. Check and follow all National, State, and Local codes regarding air exhaust velocity require­ments.
High velocity air exhaust will decrease the operating effi­ciency of the electrostatic system. Air exhaust velocity of 100 ft/min (31 linear meters/minute) should be sufficient.

Install the Air Line Accessories

1. Install a bleed-type air valve (L) on the main air line (W) to shut off all air to the gun (H).
2. Install an air line filter/water separator on the gun air line to ensure a dry, clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture can ruin the appearance of your fin­ished workpiece and can cause the gun to malfunc­tion.
3. Install a bleed-type air regulator (M) on each of the air supply lines (B, C, D, E, X, Y) to control air pres­sure to the gun.
4. Install a solenoid valve (K) on the cylinder air line (E) to actuate the gun. The solenoid valve must have a quick exhaust port.
Trapped air can cause the gun to spray unexpectedly, which can result in serious injury, including splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin. The solenoid valves (K) must have a quick exhaust port so trapped air will be relieved between the valve and gun when the solenoids are shut off.

FIG. 5. Charging Probe Positions
3. Rotate the charging probe to spray position.
NOTICE
The external charging probe rotates easily. Do not press too hard when rotating it or it could be dam­aged.
NOTE: For proper performance, do not operate electro­statics if the charging probe is not in spray position.

Install the Fluid Line Accessories

1. Install a fluid filter and drain valve at the pump out­let.
The fluid drain valve is required in your system to assist in relieving fluid pressure in the displacement pump, hose, and gun. Triggering the gun to relieve pressure may not be sufficient. Install a drain valve close to the pump's fluid outlet. The drain valve reduces the risk of serious injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin.
2. Install a fluid regulator on the fluid line to control fluid pressure to the gun.

Grounding

When operating the electrostatic gun, any ungrounded objects in the spray area (people, containers, tools, etc.) can become electrically charged. Improper grounding can result in static sparking, which can cause a fire, explosion, or electric shock. Follow the grounding instructions below.
The following are minimum grounding requirements for a basic electrostatic system. Your system may include other equipment or objects which must be grounded. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions. Your system must be connected to a true earth ground.
Pump: ground the pump by connecting a ground
wire and clamp as described in your separate pump instruction manual.
Electrostatic Air Spray Gun: ground the gun by con-
necting the Graco Grounded Air Hose to the turbine air inlet and connecting the air hose ground wire to a true earth ground. See Check Electrical Ground-
ing, page 13.
Air compressors and hydraulic power supplies:
ground the equipment according to the manufac­turer's recommendations.
All air and fluid lines must be properly grounded.
All electrical cables must be properly grounded.
All persons entering the spray area: shoes must
have conductive soles, such as leather, or personal grounding straps must be worn. Do not wear shoes with non-conductive soles such as rubber or plastic.
Object being sprayed: keep the workpiece hangers
clean and grounded at all times. Resistance must not exceed 1 megohm.
The floor of the spray area: must be electrically con-
ductive and grounded. Do not cover the floor with cardboard or any non-conductive material which would interrupt grounding continuity.
Flammable liquids in the spray area: must be kept in
approved, grounded containers. Do not use plastic containers. Do not store more than the quantity needed for one shift.
All electrically conductive objects or devices in the
spray area: including fluid containers and wash
cans, must be properly grounded.

Check Electrical Grounding

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
Megohmmeter Part No. 241079 (AA-see F not approved for use in a hazardous area. To reduce the risk of sparking, do not use the megohmmeter to check electrical grounding unless:
The gun has been removed from the hazardous
area;
or all spraying devices in the hazardous area are
turned off, ventilation fans in the hazardous area are operating, and there are no flammable vapors in the area (such as open solvent containers or fumes from spraying).
Failure to follow this warning could cause fire, explosion, and electric shock and result in serious injury and property damage.
1. Have a qualified electrician check the electrical grounding continuity of the spray gun and turbine air hose.
IG. 10) is
5. If the resistance is greater than the maximum read­ing specified above for your hose, check the tight­ness of the ground connections and be sure the turbine air hose ground wire is connected to a true earth ground. If the resistance is still too high, replace the turbine air hose.

Check Fluid Resistivity

Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
Check the fluid resistivity in a non-hazardous area only. Resistance Meter 722886 and Probe 722860 are not approved for use in a hazardous area.
Failure to follow this warning could cause fire, explosion, or electric shock and result in serious injury and property damage.
Graco Part No. 722886 Resistance Meter and 722860 Probe are available as accessories to check that the resistivity of the fluid being sprayed meets the require­ments of an electrostatic air spray system.
Follow the instructions included with the meter and probe. If the material is above 1 megohm-cm, then a Pro Xs Auto HC gun may be a better option. The Pro Xs WB gun is intended to spray very conductive waterborne materials and other materials less than 1 megohm-cm.

Check Fluid Viscosity

To check fluid viscosity you will need:
a viscosity cup
a stopwatch.

Operation

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from starting or spraying accidentally. To reduce the risk of an injury from electric shock, accidental spray from the gun, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure whenever you:
are instructed to relieve the pressure
stop spraying
check or service any of the system equipment
or install or clean the fluid nozzle.
1. Turn off all the air to the spray gun except the cylin­der air, which triggers the gun. If an air pilot fluid
regulator is used in the system, the air pressure is needed at the regulator air inlet.

Operating Checklist

Check the following list daily, before starting to operate the system, to help ensure you of safe, efficient opera­tion.
All operators are properly trained to safely operate an automatic electrostatic air spray system as instructed in this manual.
All operators are trained in the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 15.
The warning sign provided with the gun is mounted in the spray area where it can be easily seen and read by all operators.
The system is thoroughly grounded and the operator and all persons entering the spray area are properly grounded. See Grounding on page 12.
The condition of the gun’s electrical compo­nents has been checked as instructed in Elec- trical Tests on page 22.
Ventilation fans are operating properly.
2. Turn off the fluid supply to the gun.
3. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal waste con­tainer to relieve the fluid pressure.
4. If an air pilot fluid regulator is used, turn off the air pressure at the regulator air inlet.
5. Relieve fluid pressure in the fluid supply equipment as instructed in its instruction manual.
6. Turn off the main air supply by closing the bleed-type master air valve on the main air supply line. Leave the valve closed until you are ready to spray again.
Workpiece hangers are clean and grounded.
All debris, including flammable fluids and rags, is removed from the spray area.
All flammable fluids in the spray booth are in approved, grounded containers.
All conductive objects in the spray area are electrically grounded and the floor of the spray area is electrically conductive and grounded.

Operation

Select a Fluid Nozzle and Air Cap

The gun is supplied with Part No. 197266 Nozzle and 24A276 Air Cap. If you require a different size, refer to Table 2 and instruction manual 309419, or consult with your Graco distributor. See Replace Air Cap/Nozzle on page 30.
To reduce the risk of an injury, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure procedure on page 15 before removing or installing a fluid nozzle and/or air cap.
NOTE: Due to the larger needle diameter, use a nozzle one size larger than you would use with a standard PRO Xs gun (i.e., 1.5 mm = 1.2 mm flow area).
Table 2: Fluid Nozzles
Part No. Orifice Size
197265 1.2 mm (.047 in.) 197266 1.5 mm (.055 in.) 197267 1.8 mm (.070 in.) 249922* 1.2 mm (.047 in.) 249923* 1.5 mm (.055 in.) 249924* 1.8 mm (.070 in.)

Adjust the Spray Pattern

Follow the steps below to establish the correct fluid flow and air flow. Do not turn on the turbine air (TA) yet.
1. Relieve pressure, page 15.
2. Loosen the air cap retaining ring, and rotate the air cap for a vertical or horizontal spray pattern. See F
IG. 12. Tighten the retaining ring until the air cap is
held firmly in place; you should not be able to rotate the air cap horns by hand.
Vertical Pattern
Horizontal Pattern
FIG. 12. Air Cap Positions
3. Adjust the fluid flow with the fluid pressure regulator. Refer to instruction manual 309419 to set the fluid pressure for various fluid flows, according to the size of the fluid nozzle being used.
4. Use the air pressure regulator on the atomization air supply line (A1) to adjust the degree of atomization. See F
IG. 13. For example, for a fluid flow rate of 10
ounces per minute (0.3 liters per minute), a typical atomization pressure would be 20-30 psi (1.4-2.1 bar, 0.14-0.21 MPa) at the gun manifold.

Adjust the Actuator Arm

The fluid nozzle (4) must be in place when removing or installing the jam nut and actuator arm.
1. Install the adjustment nut (30), actuator arm (29), and jam nut (28) onto the piston rod (16b). Note that the jam nut (28) has a slightly larger hex and a thin­ner profile than the adjustment nut (30). See F on page 34.
2. Position the parts so there is a 0.125 in. (3 mm) gap between the actuator arm (29) and the fluid packing rod nut (E), which allows the atomizing air to actuate before the fluid. See F
IG. 28.
3. Tighten the adjustment nut (30) against the actuator arm (29). Check that the 0.125 in. (3 mm) gap has been maintained. In addition, there should be 3-4 mm of electrode needle travel when the gun is trig­gered. Adjust the jam nut position to obtain these dimensions.

This warranty applies only when the equipment is installed, operated and maintained in accordance with Graco's written recommendations.
This warranty does not cover, and Graco shall not be liable for general wear and tear, or any malfunction, damage or wear caused by faulty installation, misapplication, abrasion, corrosion, inadequate or improper maintenance, negligence, accident, tampering, or substitution of non-Graco component parts. Nor shall Graco be liable for malfunction, damage or wear caused by the incompatibility of Graco equipment with structures, accessories, equipment or materials not supplied by Graco, or the improper design, manufacture, installation, operation or maintenance of structures, accessories, equipment or materials not supplied by Graco.
This warranty is conditioned upon the prepaid return of the equipment claimed to be defective to an authorized Graco distributor for verification of the claimed defect. If the claimed defect is verified, Graco will repair or replace free of charge any defective parts. The equipment will be returned to the original purchaser transportation prepaid. If inspection of the equipment does not disclose any defect in material or workmanship, repairs will be made at a reasonable charge, which charges may include the costs of parts, labor, and transportation.
THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE, AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Graco's sole obligation and buyer's sole remedy for any breach of warranty shall be as set forth above. The buyer agrees that no other remedy (including, but not limited to, incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, lost sales, injury to person or property, or any other incidental or consequential loss) shall be available. Any action for breach of warranty must be brought within two (2) years of the date of sale.
Graco makes no warranty, and disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose in connection with accessories, equipment, materials or components sold but not manufactured by Graco. These items sold, but not manufactured by Graco (such as electric motors, switches, hose, etc.), are subject to the warranty, if any, of their manufacturer. Graco will provide purchaser with reasonable assistance in making any claim for breach of these warranties.
In no event will Graco be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from Graco supplying equipment hereunder, or the furnishing, performance, or use of any products or other goods sold hereto, whether due to a breach of contract, breach of warranty, the negligence of Graco, or otherwise.
