Warnings
Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When
these symbols appear in the body of this manual, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols and
warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent
fire and explosion:
•Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).
•Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions in your system installation man-
ual.
•Use only grounded hoses.
•Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
•If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause
electric shock.
•Turn off and disconnect power at main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servicing
equipment.
•Connect only to grounded power source.
•All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and
regulations.
INTRINSIC SAFETY
Intrinsically safe equipment that is installed improperly or connected to non-intrinsically safe equipment
will create a hazardous condition and can cause fire, explosion, or electric shock. Follow local
regulations and the following safety requirements.
•Only models with a G3000, G250, G3000HR, G250HR, or intrinsically safe Coriolis meter are
approved for installation in a Hazardous Location - Class I, Div I, Group D, T3 or Zone I Group IIA
T3.
•Do not install equipment approved only for a non-hazardous location in a hazardous area. See the
ID label for the intrinsic safety rating of your model.
•Do not substitute or modify system components as this may impair intrinsic safety.

Warnings
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
•Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information
about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
•Do not alter or modify equipment.
•Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
•Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.
•Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•Keep children and animals away from work area.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
•Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
•Always wear chemically impermeable gloves when spraying or cleaning equipment.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
•Protective eyewear
•Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•Gloves
•Hearing protection
3A1080H7
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.
83A1080H
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.

If Flow Control is set to “On” in Configure Screen 5 on
page 30, this screen will also display Flow Rate Range,
Flow Set Point, Flow Control Calibration (Start/Abort),
and Global Flow Control Data Copy (Start/Abort).

Flow Rate Range
This screen displays the flow rate range selected on
Advanced Setup Screen 5 (see page 37).
Flow Set Point
The Flow Set Point is user settable. If Flow Control
Override is set to “Off” or “Pressure” in Advanced Setup Screen 1 on page 35, the Flow Set Point will display as cc/min. Enter the desired flow set point within
the range.
If Flow Control Override is set to “% Open,” the Flow Set
Point will display as % Open. This percentage relates to
the flow control V/P ratio which translates to a fluid flow
rate. Set the initial percentage at 35% and increase as
necessary to reach the desired flow rate.
Flow Control Calibration
This field allows you to calibrate flow control for each
recipe. The system must be in Mix mode and receiving a
Gun Trigger signal. Press the Enter key to view the
menu, then select Start or Abort. See F
The flow rate will drop to 0, then incrementally increase
until it reaches the maximum flow rate. To view the progress, go to the Status Screen, page 21. The system will
populate the data for the current recipe. To copy this
data to all recipes, see Global Flow Control Data
Copy, page 23.
