that is important for you to know and understand. This
information relates to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this
information, we use the following symbols. Please
pay particular attention to these sections.
A WARNING!states information to alert you to a situ-
ation that might cause serious injury if instructions
are not followed.
A CAUTION! states information that tells how to
prevent damage to equipment or how to avoid a
situation that might cause minor injury.
A NOTE is information relevant to the procedure in

equal to or higher than those of the coating material.
Those used for general cleaning must have ash points
above 100°F (37.8°C).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates required
by NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes. In addition, ventilation must be maintained during cleaning operations using
ammable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.

Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only as
instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized equipment
modications may cause re or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use only during set-up operations. Production should never be done

Comply with appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, re protection, operation maintenance, and housekeeping. Reference OSHA, NFPA-33,
and your insurance company require-ments.
The power supply, optional remote control cabinet,
and all other electrical equipment must be located
outside Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas.
Refer to NFPA-33.
Turn the power supply OFF before working on the

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.
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 material supplier. Any other type
of solvent may be used with aluminum equipment.

HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
Certain material may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with
the skin.
There is a high voltage device that
can induce an electrical charge on
objects which is capable of igniting
coating materials.
Inadequate grounding will cause
a spark hazard. A spark can ignite
many coating materials and cause
a re or explosion.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
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 NIOSH approved.
Parts being sprayed must be supported on conveyors
or hangers and be grounded. The resistance between
the part and ground must not exceed 1 megohm.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area, with
the exception of those objects required by the process
to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Any person working in the spray area must be grounded.

Applicator adjustments or maintenance should be done
after the robot is taken out of service. Do not adjust or
repair the applicator if the robot is operating or standing ready to start.
Refer to robot operating instructions for the procedures
to take the robot out of service.

INSTALLATION
EVOLVER NE ROBOTIC ATOMZIER INSTALLATION
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
from the Ransburg installation drawings provided
for your particular installation.
APPLICATOR AND
MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY
(See Figure 2)
The tubing and hose come bundled from the factory.
Pull the bundle through the robot spacer plate and
robot wrist carefully to prevent any cuts on the cable
or hoses. Use the six (6) socket head cap screws (795932C) included with the rear manifold tubing assembly
to attach the rear manifold assembly (A11071-XX) to
the robot spacer plate (see Table 1).
Connect each signal line as required per signal identication, table following.
nal position to top head center of the robot.
The six (6) robot spacer plates are available for this
product (see Table 1).
to prevent extreme tension being applied to these
lines during robot movement.
Robot Spacer Plate
The robot spacer plate is included with the robot
manifold assembly to increase life of the tubing
bundle. The extra spacing it provides, increases the
bend radius of the tubes and decreases the hose or
cable stress at the connector.
There is only one way the spacer plate may be assembled to the mounting plate. The spacer plate has
an alignment pin that may only engage in one hole
position in the robot mount plate. This provides the

> Install and route the hoses so that they are
NOT exposed to temperatures in excess of 120°
F. Ensure that all hose and cable bends are NOT
LESS THAN a 6 inch (15 cm)
radius and are not subjected to more than 360°
of torsional twist. Failure to comply with these
parameters could cause equipment malfunctions
that might create HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS!
