Important Two-Component Material Information
Important Two-Component Material Information
Isocyanate Conditions
Spraying or dispensing materials containing isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS to know specific hazards and precautions
related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates by providing sufficient ventilation in the work area. If sufficient ventilation is not
available, a supplied-air respirator is required for
everyone in the work area.
To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate
personal protective equipment, including chemically
impermeable gloves, boots, aprons, and goggles, is
also required for everyone in the work area.
Material Self-ignition
Moisture Sensitivity of
Isocyanates
Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component
coatings. ISO will react with moisture (such as humidity)
to form small, hard, abrasive crystals, which become
suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film will form on the
surface and the ISO will begin to gel, increasing in viscosity. If used, this partially cured ISO will reduce performance and the life of all wetted parts.
NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystallization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the
humidity, and the temperature.
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
•Always use a sealed container with a desiccant
dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Never
store ISO in an open container.
•Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for
ISO, such as those supplied with your system.
•Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain
moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed
when not in use.
•Never use solvent on one side if it has been contaminated from the other side.
•Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil
or grease when reassembling.
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings
and material MSDS.
Keep Components A and B
Separate
Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or damage equipment. To prevent cross-contamination of
the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange
component A (isocyanate) and component B (resin)
parts.
3A1163A9
Changing Materials
•When changing materials, flush the equipment multiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.
•Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
•Check with your material manufacturer for chemical
compatibility.
•Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some use
ISO on the B side.

IG. 6. Use the air purge valve tubing (AT, sup-
plied) to connect the air purge valve (APV) inlet to a
clean, dry air supply (install filters/dryers as
needed).
NOTICE
The ProControl potlife timer will not function properly
when used with multiple guns operating simultaneously. To avoid having mixed material set in the equipment, carefully monitor potlife by some other means.
If using a Graco electrostatic PRO™ Gun, a shutoff
valve must be installed in the gun air line to shutoff the
atomizing and turbine air to the gun. Contact your
Graco distributor for information on air shutoff valves
for electrostatic applications.
•Air line filter: a 10 micron or better air filter is rec-
ommended to filter oil and water out of the air supply
and help avoid paint contamination and clogged
solenoids. See F

NOTE:Paint Recirculating System Only
•The color change valves have two fluid
ports for each individual valve. If you are
recirculating paint, plumb the valves in one
port and out the other.
•Another option is to use a tee fitting to recirculate.
NOTE: Verify that all unused fluid ports on the color
change valve stack are plugged before operation. An
open port will leak fluid.
NOTE: The fluid meter inlet has a fluid check valve to
prevent backflow from fluid supply pressure fluctuations.
Backflow can cause ratio inaccuracies.
3. Connect the gun fluid supply line between the fluid
regulator or fluid manifold outlets and the gun fluid
inlet.

Grounding
Your system must be grounded. Read Warnings,
page 6. For intrinsic safety, ground wires for the
EasyKey, Fluid Station, and Gun Flush Box must all be
connected to the same true earth ground. See F
page 28.
Ground the ProControl system as instructed here and in
the individual component manuals. A ground wire and
clamp, part no. 223547, is available from Graco.
NOTE: To prevent electrical noise interference from high
voltage equipment, do not connect the robot ground to
the same ground point used by these ProControl components.
NOTE: Different ground points (unequal potential) may
cause current to flow through component cables, causing incorrect signals.
EasyKey
Connect a ground wire from the EasyKey ground screw
to a true earth ground. F
IG. 14.
IG. 14,
Feed Pumps or Pressure Pots
Connect a ground wire and clamp from a true earth
ground to the pumps or pots. See pump or pressure pot
manual.
Air and Fluid Hoses
Use grounded hoses only.
Spray Gun
Follow the grounding instructions in your gun manual.
Fluid Supply Container

Object Being Sprayed
Follow local code.
All Solvent Pails Used When Purging
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails/containers placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the
pail/container on a nonconductive surface, such as
paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.
Gun Flush Box (Manual or Semi-automatic
mode only)
Connect a ground wire from the Gun Flush Box ground
lug to a true earth ground. F
IG. 14.
Wall Mount Fluid Station
Connect a ground wire from the Wall Mount Fluid Station ground screw to a true earth ground. F

Flow Meters
Connect the meter cables as shown in the System
Electrical Schematic Hazardous Area on page 31.
Failure to properly connect the shield may cause incorrect signals.
Check Resistance
To ensure proper grounding, resistance between ProMix components and true earth ground must be less
than 1 ohm. Read Warnings, page 6.
Have a qualified electrician check resistance between
each ProControl component and true earth ground. If
resistance is greater than 1 ohm, a different ground site
may be required. Do not operate the system until the
problem is corrected.
