Explosion Hazard –
Incompatible Materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane are not chemically
compatible with the aluminum
that might be used in many system components. The chemical
reaction caused by these solvents reacting with aluminum
can become violent and lead to
an equipment explosion.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the
air free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a
chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask
must be compatible with the material being sprayed
and its concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial hygienist or safety expert,
and be approved.
Aluminum is widely used in other spray application equipment - such as material pumps,
regulators, triggering valves, etc. Halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents must never be used with
aluminum equipment during spraying, ushing,
or cleaning. Read the label or data sheet for the
material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to
whether or not a coating or cleaning material is
compatible, contact your coating supplier. Any
other type of solvent may be used with aluminum

INSTALLATION
Ransburg
GENERAL INFORMATION
This information is intended ONLY to indicate the
general installation parameters of this product
and, where applicable, its working relationship to
other Ransburg system components in typical use.
Each installation is unique and should be directed by an authorized Ransburg representative
or conducted using the Ransburg installation
drawings provided for your particular installation.
W A R N I N G
!
Risk of arcing/re hazard. The Aerobell
168 must be located a safe distance from
the object to be sprayed, as well as all other grounded objects. The safe distance is
204mm (8”).
This must be installed with re protection
and re detection per EN 50 176.
Power Unit must be interlocked with con-
veyor and booth fan.
AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
The following guidelines must be observed when
installing air lters for the Aerobell 168 system (see
“Air Filtration Requirements Chart” for additional
information).
1. Use only recommended pre-lters and bearing
air lters as shown in “Recommended Air Filtration
Requirements” in this section. Additional system
air ltration (i.e., refrigerated air dryer) may also
be used if desired.
2. Use one bearing air lter per Aerobell.
3. Mount the bearing air lter as close as possible
to the Aerobell 168 (do not mount further than 30
feet (9M) away).
4. Where possible, the pre-lter(s) and bearing
air lter(s) should be mounted where they can be
easily seen, so the user will see when maintenance
is required.
5. Standard black iron or galvanized piping may
be used prior to the HAF-503 or HAF-508 pre-lters only. All piping after the pre-lter should be
brass, stainless steel, aluminum, or hose (poly,
nylon, nyliner, etc.).
25
C A U T I O N
!
The Aerobell 168 shipping container in-
cludes the basic atomizer assembly with
bell and manifold. Tool options for bell cup
removal and dis-assembly of other components can be purchased with the atomizers
or ordered separately.
Mount the Aerobell 168 securely to a sta-
tionary or reciprocating xture with the 3/4-
inch (19MM) diameter stud provided.
6. Do not use PTFE tape, pipe dope, or other
thread sealant downstream of the bearing air lter.
Loose akes of PTFE tape or other sealant can
break loose and plug the very ne air holes in the
turbine bearings.
7. Use clear see-through air tubing between the
bearing air lter and bearing air tting to clearly
indicate to the user if oil or moisture contamination
is getting past the lter.
8. If air heaters are used in the system (to minimize the effect of excessively humid conditions),
and the heated air will exceed 120°F, the heaters
must be located after all lters to prevent damage
to the lter media.

Description / Specications
Air must be properly ltered to ensure
extended turbine life and to prevent contam-
ination of the paint nish. Air which is not
adequately ltered will foul the turbine air
bearings and cause turbine failure. The cor-
rect type lters musts be used in an Aerobell
168 system. The lter elements must be
replaced regular schedule to assure clean
air.

It is the user’s responsibility to ensure
clean air at all times. Turbine failure resulting form contaminated air will not be cov-
ered under warranty. If other lters are incorporated in the system, the lters to be used
must have ltering capacities equal or better
than those shown in “Air Filtration Requirements Charts.”
The user must ensure the bearing air
supply is not inadvertently turned off while
the Aerobell 168 air motor is turning. This
will cause air bearing failure.
