Information about the topic of Ex protection
Many of our competitors have been identifying their products with the Ex symbol for a while now.
Krautzberger does not do this.
We construct and manufacture our products according the currently-valid guidelines.
If the marking on the product is required, then it is affixed on the product as the result of the necessary analysis of ignition sources. If no marking is affixed, then the required analysis of ignition
sources as well as previous experience with the assessment of the applicability of the products in
the Ex area showed that the product described in these operating instructions provides no potential
source of ignition with the exception of the electrostatic charge.
Taking into account the potential equalisation (due to proper earthing), use in the Ex area is admissible according to the currently-valid guidelines.

Diaphragm pump MP-520
ENGLISH
1.1 Proper use
The MP-520 diaphragm pump is a pump operated with compressed air and is used exclusively
n for the conveying of liquid and low-viscosity coatings from non-pressurised storage con-
tainers.
n for the supply of material to spray guns. automatic spray guns, metering devices and similar.
It is mainly used for painting and coating operations.
Proper use also includes observance of all details in these instructions.
Any use beyond the proper use or any other use counts as misuse.
WARNING!
Danger due to misuse!
Misuse of the diaphragm pump can cause dangerous situations.
–Always observe the valid safety, accident prevention, occupational safety and environ-
mental protection regulations valid for the area of application of the diaphragm pump.
–Only use sharply abrasive, chemically-aggressive, very hot or very cold spray media in
consultation with Krautzberger GmbH.
–Only use the manufacturer's original spare parts.
–Only operate the diaphragm pump while adhering the values specified in the
2 ‘Technical data’ on page 7.
Ä
Chapter
–Only operate the diaphragm pump after proper fastening on a suitable carrier construc-
tion.
–Do not hold the diaphragm pump in your hand during operation.
–Adhere to the spray media manufacturer's safety data sheets.
–Do not use the diaphragm pump in the food or pharmaceutical sectors.
No claims of any type can be asserted due to damage resulting from misuse.
1.2 Personnel requirements
Ensure the use of the device by skilled employees! Only skilled employees can independently
detect and avoid possible dangers during use based on their professional training, experience and
knowledge of the relevant regulations.

3.2 Functional description
The pressure required at the extraction point can be adjusted continuously variably using the compressed air controller (Fig. 2/7). As soon as the set material pressure has been reached, the diaphragm pump switches off automatically. The material pressure is maintained until material is
extracted at the extraction point. The diaphragm pump switches on automatically and keeps the
set material pressure constant.

4 Installation and connection
4.1 Installing the diaphragm pump
Fig. 3: Installation
1.Install the pump directly on a wall or supporting structure using the elongated holes
(Fig. 3/3) with suitable fastening screws. In the process, make sure that the material suction
connection (Fig. 3/1) points vertically downwards after installation.
The diaphragm pump can be fitted directly to a barrel cover using the optional barrel cover
mount (Fig. 3/4).
2.Connect the earthing with the earthing screw (Fig. 3/2).
WARNING!
Risk of fatal injury from electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic charges can cause shocks and sparks and thus explosions.
–Ensure proper earthing.
–Use conductive hose line (< 1 MW).

tions.
–Never point the compressed air at people.
–Check the material and compressed air hose lines before each use for damage and tight
fit.

5.1 Commissioning
Adhere to the operating instructions for the respective components.
1.Check the material and compressed air lines to make sure they are whole and fit tightly.
2.Switch on the compressed air supply.
3.Make sure that there is air pressure of 4 to 8 bar.
4.Make sure that the material intake hose is dipped into the material.
Fig. 6: Compressed air controller
5.
NOTICE!
Risk of increased wear if run in idle.
During initial commissioning there is still air in the diaphragm pump and the supply
lines. In idle mode the diaphragm pump is subject to particularly high levels of wear.
To bleed the pressure controller (Fig. 6/1), first set a low air pressure.
6.Activate the extraction point (e.g. manual spray gun) until material escapes.
7.After successful bleeding, set the desired material pressure with the pressure controller.

6 Maintenance
Hose and pipelines
The service life of hose and pipelines is limited even with proper use by environmental influences. For the sake of prevention, all hose and pipelines should be replaced regularly
according to their load.
6.1 Maintenance schedule
The following sections describe the maintenance work that is required for optimal and fault-free
operation of the device.
Check wearing parts such as seals at regular intervals. The level of wear depends on the abrasiveness of the spray fluid used. Escaping air and spray fluid are signs that parts are worn. In case of
questions about maintenance work and intervals, contact the manufacturer; see contact data on
the last page.
