Information about the operating manual
This manual provides important information on how to work with the device safely and efficiently.
The manual is part of the device and must always be kept in the immediate proximity of the device
so that it is accessible to the personnel at all times.
The personnel must have read and understood this manual before starting any work. Compliance
with all specified safety information and instructions is a basic requirement for safe working conditions.
In addition, the local occupational safety regulations and general safety rules apply for the area of
application of the device.
Due to optional finishing variants, it is possible that the figures shown in this operating manual
deviate from your device.
Information about explosion protection
Many of our competitors have been marking their products with the Ex symbol as a matter of principle for some time now.
At Krautzberger we do not do that.
We engineer and manufacture our products in line with currently applicable directives.
If the labelling on the product is required, it is affixed to the product as the result of the necessary
analysis of ignition sources. If no labelling is affixed, the analysis of ignition sources and previous
experience with the assessment of the suitability of products for use in a potentially explosive area
have shown that the product described in this operating manual does not represent a potential
source of ignition, with the exception of an electrostatic charge.
Taking into account the potential equalisation (provided by proper earth connection), the use in an
area at risk for explosions is permitted in accordance with the currently valid directives.

nautomatic coating/marking of surfaces
ndosing of fluids
nplacement of adhesive or marking points
Typical spray fluids are paints, dyes, adhesives, glazes, enamels, debonding agents, etc.
The spray fluid is fed into the automatic spray gun under pressure. This pressure is typically generated by pumps or pressure containers. The automatic spray gun is controlled via compressed air.
For the precise control of the automatic spray gun, electrically-activated solenoid valves can be
used, for example. Switching times of 60 ms can be achieved this way.
Upon opening the control, the control piston charged with compressed air first opens the atomizer
air valve and then with a short delay the fluid nozzle of the spray gun. Upon closing the control,
first the fluid nozzle and then the air nozzle is closed in order to prevent a subsequent dripping of
the spray fluid.
The spray fluid is atomised using compressed air. The geometry of the spray jet and the sprayed
quantity of the spray fluid can be adjusted with the following measures:
nSelection of the air and fluid nozzle
nChanging of the atomisation air pressure
nChanging of the spray fluid pressure
nAdjustment of the needle stroke on the regulator of the automatic spray gun
The automatic spray gun consists of the following materials:

2.Fix retaining bolt with installation screws ( Fig. 3/2).
3.Ensure proper earth connection of the automatic spray gun.
5.5 Connecting the automatic spray gun
See also ( Ä Chapter 5.3 ‘Connection scheme’ on page 17).
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to improper connection!
When the fluid supply is pressurised, e.g. from pressure containers or with pumps, the range
of the fluid jet can increase by a multiple in case of atomisation air failure. This presents a
hazard to people and property.
–Make sure that the fluid supply and the control air are interrupted if the atomisation air
pressure drops off quickly.
–It is recommended to regulate the atomisation air pressure via a filter pressure reducer.

6.3 Shutting down
6.3.1 Temporary shut-down
End the spray procedure by switching off the control air (connection "St").
The atomiser air (connection "Z") is automatically closed in the automatic spray gun.
6.3.2 Long-term shut-down
1.
Close the air supply for control air and atomiser air (
on page 17).
2.Close the material supply and switch off the pump if necessary.
3.
If necessary, clean the spray gun ( Ä Chapter 7.3 ‘Cleaning’ on page 27).

6.4 Start of operation
1.Switch on the compressed air supply.
2.Where applicable, switch on pump or pressure container for spray fluid.
3.Point automatic spray gun at a test surface.
4.Start spraying process by switching on the control air.
5.
Adjust the spray pattern ( Ä Chapter 6.5 ‘Adjusting the spray pattern’ on page 24).
6.Complete the spraying process by switching off the control air.
7.Direct spray gun towards workpiece.
8.Start spraying process by switching on the control air.
6.5 Adjusting the spray pattern
Air and fluid nozzles are available in various sizes. There are 4 different families:
nRound jet – cone-shaped jet in front of the nozzle.
nFlat jet – width-adjustable jet for flat-shaped application.
nRotary stream – a rotary pulse produces a highly “swirled” spray jet; for difficult workpiece
geometries (angular sections etc.).
nFull-cone rotary stream – a rotary pulse produces a highly “swirled” spray jet; for difficult
workpiece geometries (back cuts, etc.).
Adjust the spray pattern with the following measures:
nChange the atomiser air pressure.
nChange the pressure of the spray fluid.
nSelect another nozzle size.
nAdjusting the needle stroke (
Ä
Chapter 6.6 ‘Adjusting the needle stroke’ on page 25).
Too-high air pressure causes unnecessarily high air consumption and too-strong atomisation
of the spray fluid. It is recommended that you first adjust the spray pattern by varying the air
and spray fluid pressure. If you cannot achieve satisfactory results this way, you should
experiment with other nozzle sizes.
