Gun Overview

Gun Overview
How the Electr
ostatic 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 atomizes and 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.
As the gun is triggered, part of the regulated air operates the alternator turbine and the rest of the air helps atomize the fluid being sprayed. The alternator generates power, which is converted by the power cartridge to supply high voltage to the gun’s electrode.
The gun’s internal power supply provides high voltage. The fluid is electrostatically charged as it passes the electrode. The charged fluid is attracted to the grounded workpiece, wrapping around and evenly coating all surfaces.
The regulated air that is directed to the air cap can be further controlled using the gun’s atomizing air adjustment valve. This valve can be used to restrict air flow to the air cap while maintaining sufficient air flow to the alternator. The atomizing air adjustment valve does not control pattern width. To change pattern width, use a new tip size, or use the fan adjustment to narrow the pattern width.
The high working fluid pressure of this gun provides the power needed to atomize higher solids materials.

• CE-EN 50059 Compliant: Materials which cannot be ignited, in any mixture with air, by an energy source of less than 500mJ.
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 under
Models, page 3 ) can be sprayed with the system or
be used to clean, flush, or purge the system.

NOTICE
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.
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 gun is operated above 60 kV.

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.
• Be sure your installation complies with local, state, and national codes for the installation of electrical apparatus in a Class I, Div. I Hazardous Location or Group II, Zone I Explosive Atmosphere Location.
• Comply with all applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and other safety regulations.
Fig. 12 shows a typical electrostatic air-assisted spray system. It is not an actual system design. For assistance in designing a system to suit your particular needs, contact your Graco distributor.

Ventilate the Spray Booth

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. Ground all equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in or close to the spray area. Resistance must not exceed 100 ohms. 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.

• 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.
Normal spraying voltage for a system using the waterborne gun is 40–50 kV. The system voltage is lower due to spraying current demands and voltage isolation system losses.

7. Make sure the voltage isolation system is in the “isolate” mode, where it is isolating the fluid voltage from ground.
8. 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.
9. Check the spray gun cover and barrel for accumulated overspray. Excessive overspray can create a conductive path back to the grounded gun handle. Install a new gun cover and clean the exterior of the gun.
10. Inspect the entire system for any visible fluid leakage and repair any fluid leaks that are found. Pay special attention to the following areas:
•Packinga
• Fluid hos

• Interna

Tests
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 25).
3. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, page 26.
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 ES ON/OFF valve to ON and trigger the gun just enough to turn on the air to the gun but not the fluid. 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 40 to 50 kV, the gun and
fluid hose are okay, and the problem is in the voltage isolation system.
• If the meter reading is below 40 kV, the
problem is in the gun or fluid hose.
9. Flush the fluid hose and gun with enough air to dry out the fluid passages.

• If the meter reading is 40-50 kV, the gun power supply is okay, and there is probably a dielectric breakdown somewhere in the fluid hose or gun. Continue with step 11.
• If the meter reading is below 40 kV, do the Electrical Tests, page 36,tocheckthegun and power supply resistance. If those tests show the gun and power supply are okay, continue with step 11.
11. 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 inner layer. Disconnect the fluid hose from the gun, and look for signs of fluid contamination on the outside of the inner portion 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 51), 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:
