AREA

Tells where hazards may occur.

Spray Area

HAZARD

Tells what the hazard is.

Fire Hazard

Improper or inadequate operation and maintenance proce-

dures will cause a re hazard.

Protection against inadvertent arcing that is capable of causing

re or explosion is lost if any

INTRODUCTION

Vector Solo Applicators - Introduction

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Vector SoloTM is an air atomizing applicator 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.

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 inuence 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 sufcient 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.

NOTES

One of the many features of the Vector Solo applicator system is that the electrical energy, which is available from the resistive charging electrode, is limited to the optimum level of safety and efciency. The system is incapable of releasing suf-

cient electrical or thermal energy during normal operating conditions to cause ignition of specic

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.

W A R N I N G

 For proper safe function of the applica- tor, the 79727-XX Air Hose Assembly must be used (either standard or quick disconnect style).

Fluid Hose Recommendation

Ransburg recommends using a 79548 Fluid Hose

Assembly. This assembly is made to specically t the uid tting size engineered into the applica-

tor. This hose is available from your authorized Ransburg distributor. Available hose lengths are

listed in "Accessories" in the "Parts Identication"

section of this manual.

C A U T I O N

 Any user installed uid hose used must be rated for 100 psig (6.9 bar) working pressure minimum.

79900 SOLO SOLVENTBORNE INSTALLATION

W A R N I N G

 The user MUST read and be familiar

with the "Safety" section of this manual.

 This hand held device is intended to be

used by trained personnel ONLY.

 This manual MUST be read and thor- oughly understood by ALL personnel who operate, clean, or maintain this equipment! Special care should be taken to ensure that the warnings and requirements for operating and servicing safely are followed. The user should be aware of and adhere to ALL local building and re codes and ordinances as well as NFPA, OSHA, and all related country safety codes prior to installing, operating, and/or servicing this equipment.

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). For Class 3 air quality, which is a 5 micron size and has a dew point of -4F (-20C), the relative humidity (RH) of the air should be 5%.

Screw the tting into the lter inlet. The lter MUST

be installed with the arrow pointing in the direction

of ow. (Refer to the appropriate Filter Assembly

manual for Installation Instructions.)

2. Ransburg recommends that a uid lter be installed at the output of the uid supply (pressure

pot, pump, circulating system, etc.). It is the end

user's responsibility to install the proper lter that

meets their system's requirements.

 Personnel MUST be GROUNDED to prevent a shock or spark during electrostatic operation.

 Install and route the hoses so they are

NOT exposed to temperatures in excess of 120° F and so that all hose bends are NO LESS than a 6-inch (15cm) radius. Fail-

ure to comply with these parameters could cause equipment malfunction that might create HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS!
