INTRODUCTION
Vector Solo AA90 Applicators - Introduction
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Vector Solo
bined air/airless powered only by a pressurized
air source. Pressurized air creates rotation of a
turbine generator that powers a cascade. The
cascade generates a high voltage DC charge
to the electrode creating an electrostatic eld
between the atomizer and the target. The target
is electrically grounded through its support which
may be either stationary or moving.
A regulated pressure uid system delivers coating
material to the atomizer. At the time of triggering
the applicator, fan and atomization air is introduced,
which atomizes the coating material into a spray
mist. The atomized spray particles under the inuence of the electrostatic eld become electrically
charged. The charged particles are attracted to,
and deposited on, the target object. The forces
between the charged particles and the grounded
target are sufcient to turn most normal overspray
around and deposit it on the back surface of the
target. Therefore, a high percentage of the coating
is deposited on the target.

AA90 Applicators are a com-
NOTES
One of the many features of the Vector Solo AA90
applicator system is that the electrical energy,
which is available from the resistive charging
electrode, is limited to the optimum level of safety
and efciency. The system is incapable of releasing sufcient electrical or thermal energy during
normal operating conditions to cause ignition of
specic hazardous materials in their most easily
ignited concentrations in air.
As the applicator electrode approaches ground,
applicator circuitry causes the high voltage to
approach zero while the current approaches its
maximum value.

ground wire is required to be used.
W A R N I N G
!
For proper safe function of the applicator,
the 79727-XX Air Hose must be used either
standard or quick disconnect style.
Fluid Hose Recommendation
Ransburg recommends using a 7994-XX Fluid
Hose Assembly. This assembly is made to spe-
cically t the uid tting size engineered into the
applicator. This hose is available as a standard
conguration or as a replacement from your authorized Ransburg distributor.
C A U T I O N
!
Any user installed uid hose used must
be rated for 207 bar (3000 psig) working
pressure minimum.
Filters
1. Install an air lter assembly on the outlet of the
main air regulator. The lter should be 5 micron
with a maximum working pressure of at least
100 psig (6.9 bar). Screw the tting into the lter
inlet. The lter MUST be installed with the arrow
pointing in the direction of ow. (Refer to the ap-
propriate Filter Assembly manual for Installation
