1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The present document gives a complete description and principle of operation of the Accuraspray 4.0 sensor as well as a description of its components.
1.1.1 OVERVIEW
The main purpose of the Accuraspray 4.0 is to ensure consistent, high­quality coatings by monitoring the in-flight particles and plume properties before each spray run. This ensures that the spray properties are within predetermined acceptance ranges for ideal coating and performance.
To help detect potential issues such as electrode wear, partial clogging of the nozzle or in the powder injection system, and instability of the powder feeder before the coating process, the Accuraspray monitors:
• Particle’s temperature and velocity;
• Plume profile and intensity;
• Part temperature (optional);
The Accuraspray 4.0 can also be used to:
• Develop and optimize spray parameters;
• Transfer parameters from one booth to another (anywhere in the world);
• Transfer parameters from one spray gun to another;
• Extend the useful lifespan of hardware;
• Significantly reduce the number of test coupons;
• Troubleshoot day-to-day issues;

1.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be observed at all times while operating the Accuraspray 4.0. Tecnar Automation Ltd. assumes no liability whatsoever for a user’s failure to comply with these precautions or the warnings throughout this manual.
To protect your Accuraspray 4.0 from damage, you must:
• Connect it to an unloaded, properly grounded power line (50–60 Hz. 100­240VAC, 50-60Hz, 1.5 A).
• We also recommend using an additional power line filter to filter out any power surges or bursts;
• Use it at an ambient temperature between 4 and 45 °C;
• Supply 30 LPM (2CFM) of cooling/cleaning air at 1.7–2.7 bar (25–40 psi)
to the sensor head AT ALL TIMES while the unit is powered on.;
• Use only original spare parts.
All Accuraspray 4.0 users should read this user manual, take the web-based introduction and training session, and contact Tecnar with any further questions. We also recommend that a copy of the user manual be kept near the equipment at all times.

2.1 CONTROLLER
The controller must be kept in a ventilated area to reduce the risk of overheating.
The controller receives readings from the sensor head. It processes the data and broadcasts the results to the user interface(s).

Description
1. LED
LED
Off: Power supply is OFF;
Green: The system is working properly;
Yellow: Sensor head is not connected;
Red: Unit power up but an error is detected.
2. Wi-Fi antenna
Used to access the Accuraspray user interface through a wireless network connection. The Wi-Fi connection acts as a Hotspot. It can be disabled but not reconfigured.
3. Sensor head port
Used to power and communicate with the sensor head.
4. Power switch
Used to active the unit.
5. User interface port
Used to interface the Accuraspray to the user’s spray controller via digital I/Os.
6. Ethernet
Used to access the Accuraspray user interface through a wired network connection.
7. Power inlet
Provides power to the Accuraspray.
Connect it to an unloaded, properly grounded power line (100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 1.5 A).

The air knife is used to keep the Accuraspray windows clean and free of dust.
2. Optical system viewport
Viewport of the temperature and velocity measurement sensor.
3. Camera viewport
Viewport of the camera used to characterize the plume geometry.
4. Air supply port
Compressed air is used both as active cooling for the head’s internal components and, as it is exhausted from the head, to generate an air knife that keeps the viewport windows clean.
5. Alignment beam switch
Activation switch for the alignment beam.
6. Substrate pyrometer port
Used to power and communicate with the optional substrate pyrometer sensor.
7. Communication port
Used to power the sensor head and communicate with the controller.
