Introduction
Introduction
How the Electrostatic AA Spray
Gun Works
This is not an air spray gun. To help prevent serious
injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection,
and splashing fluid, read and follow the Skin Injection
Hazard Warnings on page 5.
The air-assisted spray gun combines airless and air
spraying concepts. The spray tip shapes the fluid into a
fan pattern, as does a conventional airless spray tip. Air
from the air cap further atomizes the fluid and completes
the atomization of the fluid tails to produce a uniform
pattern.
The high working fluid pressure of this gun provides the
power needed to atomize higher solids materials.
Operating the Spray Function
Applying a minimum of 60 psi (0.42 MPa, 4.2 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.
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 air lines to the
gun.
•Gun functions are activated from a separate controller that sends the appropriate signal to the actuating
solenoids.
Smart Gun Features
Smart gun models with the Pro Xp Auto Control Module
have the ability to:
•Display the spraying voltage and current
•Change the gun voltage setting
•Display the gun turbine speed
•Store spray profiles
•Communicate equipment faults to a PLC
•Display and set maintenance totalizers
Operating the Electrostatics
•Use a PLC to select a spray profile
To operate the electrostatics, apply air pressure to the
gun manifold’s turbine air fitting (TA) through a Graco
Grounded Turbine 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. The
fluid is charged by the spray gun electrode. The charged
fluid is attracted to the nearest grounded object, wrapping around and evenly coating all surfaces.

Introduction
Spraying Waterborne Fluids Electrostatically
This electrostatic air spray gun is designed to spray
only waterborne fluids which meet at least one of the
following flammability requirements:
FM, FMc Approved:
•Material does not sustain burning in accordance
with the Standard Test Method for Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures, ASTM D4206.
CE-EN 50059 Compliant:
•Materials which cannot be ignited, in any mixture
with air, by an energy source of less than 500 mJ.
When connected to a voltage isolation system, all of the
fluid in the spray gun, fluid hose, and isolated fluid supply is charged to high voltage, which means that the
system has more electrical energy than a solvent-based
system. Therefore, only non-flammable fluids (as
defined above) can be sprayed with the system or used
to clean, flush, or purge the system.
Precautions must be taken when using electrostatic
waterborne equipment to avoid potential shock hazards.
When the electrostatic AA spray gun charges the isolated fluid to high voltage, it is similar to charging a
capacitor or a battery. The system will store some of the
energy while spraying and retain some of that energy
after the spray gun is shut off. Do not touch the gun nozzle or come within 4 in. (102 mm) of the electrode until
the stored energy is discharged. The amount of time it
takes to discharge the energy depends on the system
design. Follow the Operating Checklist on page 22
before approaching the front of the gun.
NOTE: The Graco warranty and approvals are void if
the electrostatic spray gun is connected to a non-Graco
voltage isolation system or if the spray gun is operated
above 60 kV.

System Requirements
Basic Guidelines
When spraying waterborne fluids electrostatically:
•The gun must be connected to a voltage isolation
system, which isolates the fluid supply from ground
and allows voltage to be maintained at the tip of the
gun.
•The gun must be connected to a voltage isolation
system that will discharge the system voltage when
the gun is not in use.
•There should be a bleed resistor to drain off the system voltage when the spray gun is not in use.
•All components of the voltage isolation system that
are charged to high voltage must be contained
within an isolation enclosure that prevents personnel from making contact with the high voltage components before the system voltage is discharged.
•The gun turbine air hose must be interlocked with
the voltage isolation system to shut off the turbine
air supply anytime the isolation system enclosure is
opened or entered.
•The voltage isolation system must be interlocked
with the spray area entrance to automatically discharge the voltage and ground the fluid whenever
someone opens the enclosure or enters the spray
area.
•The system should not have any severe arcing
occurring when the isolation mechanism opens and
closes. Severe arcing will shorten the life of the system components.
Graco Waterborne Fluid Hose
Use a Graco Waterborne Fluid Hose between the voltage isolation system fluid outlet and the gun fluid inlet.
See Accessories on page 57 for available hoses. The
hose consists of an inner PTFE tube, a conductive layer
covering the PTFE tube, and an outer cover.
Install the System
Installing and servicing this equipment requires
access to parts which may cause electric shock or
other serious injury if work is not performed properly.
• Do not install or service this equipment unless
you are trained and qualified.
• Comply with all applicable local, state, and
national fire, electrical, and other safety
regulations.
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 turbine air supply (B) with
the ventilators to prevent gun operation without ventilating fans operating.
NOTE: High velocity air exhaust will decrease the operating efficiency of the electrostatic system. Check and
follow all National, State, and Local codes regarding air
exhaust velocity requirements.
Air exhaust velocity of 100 ft/min (31 linear meters/minute) should be sufficient.
333013B11
Installation
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.
2. Install an air line filter/water separator on the main
air supply 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 pressure regulator (M) on
each of the air supply lines (B, C, D, E) 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.
5. Install a solenoid valve (K) to actuate the turbine.
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.
Install the Fluid Line
Accessories
1. Install a fluid filter and drain valve at the pump outlet. Filtering the fluid will help remove coarse parti-
cles and sediment that could clog the spray tip.
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.

sparking, which can cause a fire, explosion, or
electric shock. Ground all equipment, personnel,
object being sprayed, and conductive objects in or
close to the spray area. Resistance must not exceed
1 megohm. Follow the grounding instructions below.
The following are minimum grounding requirements for
a basic electrostatic waterborne 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.

Operation
Fluid Voltage Discharge and
Grounding Procedure
The fluid supply is charged with high voltage until the
voltage is discharged. Contact with the charged
components of the voltage isolation system or spray
gun electrode will cause an electric shock. To avoid
an electric shock, follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding Procedure:
•whenever you are instructed to discharge the
voltage
•before cleaning, flushing, or servicing the system equipment
•before approaching the front of the gun
•or before opening the isolation enclosure for
the isolated fluid supply.
NOTE: An accessory grounding rod, part No. 210084, is
available to discharge any voltage remaining on a system component. Contact your Graco distributor to order.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury
from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection and
splashing fluid follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing the equipment.
1. Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge and Ground-ing Procedure, page 22.
2. Relieve fluid pressure in the fluid supply and voltage
isolation system as instructed in their instruction
manuals.
3. Turn off all the air to the spray gun except the cylinder air, which triggers the gun.
1. Turn off the turbine air to all spray guns connected
to the isolated fluid supply and wait 30 seconds.
2. Discharge the voltage at the voltage isolation system by following the procedure specified in the voltage isolation system instruction manual.
For WB3000: fully unscrew the door T-handle locking screw. This will shut off the air to the gun and
trigger the grounding cylinder to discharge any
remaining electrical charge.
3. Touch the pump, supply pail, and electrode of the
gun with a grounded rod to make sure the voltage
has been discharged. If you see an arc, verify that
the electrostatics are turned off or see Electrical Troubleshooting, page 37 or the voltage isolation
system manual for other possible problems.
Resolve the problem before proceeding.
NOTE: The air shut-off device must bleed the air out of
the system.
4. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal waste container to relieve the fluid pressure.
5. Turn off all remaining air supplies to the gun.
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.
7. If you suspect the fluid hose or tip is plugged, or that
pressure is not fully relieved after following the steps
above, slowly loosen the fluid hose fitting at the
pump to relieve pressure gradually, then loosen
completely.
Select a Spray Tip
The fluid output and pattern width depend on the size of
the spray tip, the fluid viscosity, and the fluid pressure.

Fill the Fluid Supply
Set the Atomization Fluid
Pressure
Atomization fluid pressure will vary based on the viscosity of the fluid, flow rate desired, and other system characteristics.
1. Turn off the turbine air (TA), atomization air (A1),
and fan air (A2).
2. Start the pump. Set the fluid regulator to 400 psi (2.8
MPa, 28 bar).
3. With the turbine air (TA), atomization air (A1), and
fan air (A2) turned off, spray a test pattern, holding
the gun 12 in. (305 mm) from the surface. Examine
the particle size. Do not be concerned about the
presence of tails; they will be removed in step 6.
4. Increase the fluid pressure in small increments.
Spray another pattern and compare the particle
size. Smaller particle size indicates improved atomization.
1. Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge and Ground-ing Procedure, page 22.
2. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 22.
3. Open the isolated enclosure door.
333013B23
To reduce the risk of injury, never exceed the
maximum working pressure on the lowest rated
system component. Maximum working pressure of
this equipment is 3000 psi (21 MPa, 210 bar).
Operation
5. Continue to increase the fluid pressure and spray
test patterns. Do not exceed 3000 psi (21 MPa, 210
bar) fluid pressure. When the particle size remains
constant, the fluid is being atomized at the lowest
possible fluid pressure.
For improved atomization at lower fluid flow rates,
change to a smaller tip orifice size.
6. Turn on the atomization air (A1) and adjust the air
pressure until the tails disappear.
See Spray Pattern Troubleshooting on page 34 to
correct spray pattern problems.

Troubleshooting
Installing and servicing this equipment requires
access to parts which may cause an electric shock or
other serious injury if the work is not performed
properly. Do not install or repair this equipment
unless you are trained and qualified.
Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding Procedure before checking or servicing
the system and whenever you are instructed to
discharge the voltage.
Troubleshooting
Before troubleshooting or servicing the voltage isolation
system itself, you need to determine which component
in the system is most likely causing a problem. Possible
causes include the following:
Spray Gun
•Fluid leakage
•Dielectric breakdown at the fluid hose connection or
fluid packings
•Not enough air pressure for the turbine
•Faulty power supply
•Excessive overspray on gun surfaces
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection injury, always
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you
stop spraying and whenever you are instructed to
relieve the pressure.
NOTE: Check all possible remedies in the Troubleshooting Chart before disassembling the gun.
Voltage Loss Troubleshooting
Normal spraying voltage for a system using the waterborne gun is 45-55 kV. The system voltage is lower due
to spraying current demands and voltage isolation system losses.
A loss of spraying voltage can be caused by a problem
with the spray gun, fluid hose, or voltage isolation system, since all of the system components are electrically
connected through the conductive, waterborne fluid.
•Fluid in the air passages
Waterborne Fluid Hose
•Dielectric failure of the hose (pin-hole leak in the
PTFE layer)
•Air gap in the fluid column between the gun and the
isolated fluid supply, causing a low voltage reading
on the isolation system voltage meter.
Voltage Isolation System
•Fluid leakage
•Dirty interior
•Dielectric breakdown of hoses, seals, or connections
•Isolators not functioning properly
333013B31
Troubleshooting
Visual Checks
First, check the system for any visible faults or errors to
help isolate whether the spray gun, fluid hose or voltage
isolation system has failed. A voltage probe and meter,
part no. 245277, is helpful for diagnosing voltage problems and is required for some of the troubleshooting
tests that follow.
1. Check that all of the air and fluid tubes and hoses
are properly connected.
2. Check that the voltage isolation system valves and
controls are properly set for operation.
3. Check that the interior of the isolated enclosure is
clean.
4. Check that the spray gun and voltage isolation system have sufficient air pressure.
5. Check that the spray gun and voltage isolation system have sufficient air pressure.
6. Check that the gun turbine air (TA) is turned on and
the pressure is set correctly.
7. Check that the voltage isolation system's enclosure
door is closed and that any safety interlocks are
engaged and working properly.
8. Make sure the voltage isolation system is in the “isolate” mode, where it is isolating the fluid voltage
from ground.
9. To eliminate air gaps in the fluid column, spray
enough fluid to purge the air out between the voltage isolation system and the spray gun. An air gap
in the fluid hose can break the electrical continuity
between the spray gun and the isolated fluid supply
and cause a low voltage reading on a voltage meter
connected to the isolated fluid supply.
10. Check the spray gun cover and barrel for accumulated overspray. Excessive overspray can create a
conductive path back to the grounded gun body.
Install a new gun cover and clean the exterior of the
gun.
11. Inspect the entire system for any visible fluid leakage and repair any fluid leaks that are found. Pay
special attention to the following areas:
•Packing area of the spray gun.
•Fluid hose: check for leakage or any bulges in
the outer cover, which may indicate an internal
leak.
•Internal voltage isolation system components
32333013B
Tests
Troubleshooting
If you still have no voltage, separate the spray gun and
hose from the voltage isolation system and check
whether the gun and hose alone will hold voltage with
the following test.
1. Flush the system with water and leave the lines
filled with water.
2. Discharge the system voltage (see Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding Procedure, page 22.)
3. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 22.
4. Disconnect the fluid hose from the voltage isolation
system.
Avoid allowing any water to leak out of the fluid hose
as that could cause a significant air gap in the fluid
column up to the gun electrode, which can break the
conductivity path and conceal a potential failure
area.
5. Position the end of the hose as far as possible away
from any grounded surface. The end of the hose
must be at least 1 ft. (0.3 m) from any ground. Make
sure that no one is within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the end of
the hose.
6. Turn the turbine air to the gun on. Measure the voltage at the gun electrode with a voltage probe and
meter.
7. Discharge the system voltage by waiting 30 seconds and then touching the gun electrode with a
grounded rod.
8. Check the meter reading:
•If the meter reading is 45 to 55 kV, the gun and
fluid hose are okay, and the problem is in the
voltage isolation system.
•If the meter reading is below 45 kV, the problem
is in the gun or fluid hose.
down somewhere in the fluid hose or gun. Continue
with step 12.
If the reading is below 55 kV, do the electrical tests on
page 33 to check the gun and power supply resistance.
If those tests show the gun and power supply are okay,
continue with step 12.
12. A dielectric breakdown is most likely in one of the
following three areas. Repair or replace the component that is failing.
a. Fluid hose:
•Check for leakage or any bulges in the
outer cover, which may indicate a pin-hole
leak through the PTFE layer. Disconnect
the fluid hose from the gun, and look for
signs of fluid contamination on the outside
of the fluid tube.
•Inspect the end of the hose connected to
the voltage isolation system. Look for cuts
or nicks.
b. Fluid needle:
•Remove the fluid needle from the gun (see
Fluid Needle Replacement, page 40), and
look for signs of fluid leakage or any blackened areas, which would indicate arcing is
occurring along the packing rod.
c. Fluid hose connection to the spray gun:
•A breakdown at the fluid hose connection
joint would be caused by fluid leaking past
seals on the end of the hose. Remove the
hose at the gun connection and look for
signs of fluid leakage along the tube.
13. Before reassembling the gun, clean and dry the gun
fluid inlet tube. Repack the inner spacer of the fluid
packing rod with dielectric grease and reassemble
the gun.
14. Reconnect the fluid hose.
9. Flush the fluid hose and gun with enough air to dry
out the fluid passages.
10. Turn the turbine air to the gun on. Measure the voltage at the gun electrode with a voltage probe and
meter.
11. If the meter reading is 55-60 kV, the gun power supply is okay, and there is probably a dielectric break-
333013B33
15. Check the gun voltage with the voltage probe and
meter before filling the gun with fluid.
