OPERATING MANUAL
2.5 PROCESSIBLE WORKING MATERIALS
Lacquers which contain ingredients of explosion class IIA and IIB substances (maximum
ignition energy 0.24 mJ) can be processed with the GA 5000EAC spray gun.
The spray gun basic version is suitable for processing sprayed substances with an
electrical resistance of > 150 kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale).
Equipped with a special product hose for low-resistance sprayed substances (available
as an accessory), you can also successfully process sprayed substances with an
electrical resistance > 50 kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale).
The application e ectiveness is always dependant on the composition of the product
being used, e.g., pigments or resin.
Conversion of Paint Resistance
There are paint resistance measuring devices available on the market that do not directly
measure the speci c paint resistance.
Multiplying the result of the measurement with the device-speci c cell constant (K), we
obtain the speci c resistance value of the product.
Example:
With WAGNER's paint resistance measuring device the cell constant is K =123.
Measured value according to the WAGNER scale
Speci c resistance (RS)
Note:
Using sprayed substances with too low an electrical resistance, the application of
electrostatics does not show any e ect, i.e. there is no "paint wrap around" on the object
to be sprayed.
The suitability of the spray product with regard to the charging ability can be read from the
actual values for high voltage (kV) and for the spray current (μA) shown in the illuminated
displays on the EPG 5000 control unit.
High kV value, low μA value= ok
Low kV value, high μA value= excessive conductivity of the paint
No wrap-around
Please contact your local WAGNER dealer and the lacquer manufacturer if you encounter
application problems.

OPERATING MANUAL
4.2.2 GROUNDING THE DEVICE
Friction, owing liquids and air or electrostatic coating processes create charges. Flames or
sparks can form during discharge. Grounding prevents electrostatic charging.
Ensure that the device is grounded. See Chapter "Grounding".
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g., that they are wearing
static dissipative shoes.
The spray substance supply (spray substance tank, pump, etc.) must be grounded.
4.2.3 PRODUCT HOSES
Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed products and the
used ushing agents.
Ensure that the product hose is suitable for the pressure generated.
Ensure that the following information can be seen on the high-pressure hose:
- Manufacturer
- Permissible operating pressure
- Date of manufacture
Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. Hoses should not be laid in the
following places under any circumstances:
- in high-traffic areas,
- on sharp edges,
- on moving parts or
- on hot surfaces.
Ensure that the hoses are never run over by vehicles (e.g., fork lifts), or that the hoses are
never put under pressure from the outside in any other way.
Ensure that the hoses are never kinked. Observe maximum bending radii.
Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
Suction hoses may not be subjected to pressure.
Several liquids have a high expansion coe cient. In some cases their volume can rise with
consequent damage to pipes, ttings, etc. and cause uid leakage.
When the pump sucks liquid from a closed tank, ensure that air or a suitable gas can
enter the tank. Thus a negative pressure is avoided. The vacuum could implode the tank
(squeeze) and can cause it to break. The tank would leak and the liquid would ow out.
The pressure created by the pump is a multiplication of the inlet air pressure.

Ensure that the ash point of the cleaning agent is at least 15 K above the ambient
temperature or that cleaning is undertaken at a cleaning station with technical
ventilation.
Take measures for workplace safety (see Chapter 4.1.3).
When commissioning or emptying the device, please note that an explosive mixture
may temporarily exist inside the lines and components of equipment:
- depending on the coating product used,
- depending on the ushing agent (solvent) used,
explosive mixture inside the lines and items of equipment.
Only electrically conductive tanks may be used for cleaning and ushing agents.
The tanks must be grounded.
GA 5000EAC
An explosive gas/air mixture forms in closed tanks.
Never spray into a closed tank when using solvents for ushing.
External cleaning
When cleaning the exterior of the device or its parts, also observe the following:
Disconnect the pneumatic supply line.
Use only moistened cloths and brushes. Never use abrasive agents or hard objects and
never spray cleaning agents with a gun. Cleaning the device must not damage it in any
way.
Ensure that no electrical component is cleaned with nor even immersed into solvent.
Which cleaning agent is used to clean the spray gun depends on which parts of the
spray gun have to be cleaned and which product has to be removed. When cleaning the
spray gun, only use non-polar cleaning agents to prevent conductive residues on the
surface of the spray gun. Should it however, be necessary to use a polar cleaning agent,
all residues of this cleaning agent have to be removed by using a non-conductive and
non-polar cleaning agent, once the cleaning is nished.

Pneumatic diagram:
SA = Shaping air
AA = Atomizing air
CA = Control air
M =Product
Open:
The piston in the drive is charged with control air and moves toward the rear. This ensures
that the air valve which releases the shaping and atomizing air is opened rst. The product
valve is then opened with a mechanical delay. In this position, the pressurized coating
product is applied to the work piece.
Close:
The piston is relieved, and the product valve closes due to the pressure spring which
presses against the product valve tappet. The air valve is then closed, again with a spring
force and mechanical delay.
Additional functions:
The shaping air throttle is used to regulate the shaping air volume, while the atomizing air is
adjusted via an external pressure regulator. The two air streams do not ow separately until
downstream of the air valve, so that the pressure of the shaping air corresponds roughly to
that of the atomizing air and so that they in uence each other during adjustment.

atmospheres containing solvents!
Explosion hazard from electrostatic sparks or ames.
Ground all device components.
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
WARNING
Heavy paint mist if grounding is insu cient!
Danger of poisoning.
Insu cient paint application quality.
Ground all device components.
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
A poorly grounded work piece causes:
- very bad wrap around,
- uneven coating,
- back spraying to the spray gun (contamination) and coater.
Prerequisites for perfect grounding and coating are:
- Clean work piece suspension.
- Grounding of spray booth, conveyor system and suspension on the building side in
accordance with the operating manuals or the manufacturer's information.
- Grounding of all conductive parts within the working area.
- The grounding resistance of the work piece must not exceed 1 MΩ (megohm).
(Resistance to ground measured at 500 V or 1000 V).
- Connect the control unit to the signal ground.
- Mount spray gun to an grounded gun mounting.
- Connect all ground cables using a short and direct route.
The viscosity of the lacquer is of great importance. The best spraying results are obtained
with values between 25 and 40 DIN/4 seconds (measured in immersion ow cup DIN 4 mm;
0.16 inches).
Processing of up to 60 DIN/4 seconds is generally possible without problem if high coating
thicknesses are required.
With the WAGNER AirCoat at jet spraying process, the di erent viscosities of the lacquer
are optimally covered by two air cap types. These can be found in "Accessories".
In the case of application problems contact the lacquer manufacturer.

OPERATING MANUAL
DANGER
Explosive powder/air mixes!
Danger to life and equipment damage.
Before starting cleaning, rinsing, or other manual work, the high
voltage must be shut down and locked to prevent it from being
switched back on!
The spray gun must be separated from the high-voltage supply
before any cleaning work is started!
Only electrically conductive tanks may be used for cleaning and
ushing agents. Ground the tank.
Which cleaning agent is used to clean the spray gun depends
on which parts of the spray gun have to be cleaned and which
product has to be removed. When cleaning the spray gun, only
use non-polar cleaning agents to prevent conductive residues
on the surface of the spray gun. Should it however, be necessary
to use a polar cleaning agent, all residues of this cleaning agent
have to be removed by using a non-conductive and non-polar
cleaning agent, once the cleaning is nished.
Preference should be given to non- ammable cleaning and
ushing agents.
Only cleaning and ushing agents which contain ingredients
of explosion classes IIA and IIB may be used (maximum ignition
energy 0.24 mJ).
The cleaning and ushing agent's ash point must be at least 15 K
above the ambient temperature.

11 FUNCTION TEST AFTER THE REPAIR
After all repairs, the device must be checked for safe condition before recommissioning.
The necessary scope of inspection and testing depends on the repair carried out and must
be documented by the repair sta .
11.1 CHECKING THE HIGH VOLTAGE
Necessary test equipment:
EPG 5000 control unit and HV 200 high-voltage tester.
High-voltage measurement on spraying gun.
Connect gun cable to control unit. Mount spray gun to grounded gun mounting.
Switch on the control unit.
The high voltage should be 60 to 65 kV in dry ambient air. The value can be checked with
the display on the control unit (EPG 5000).
Note:
The gun must be clean and dry and must not have any paint or cleaning agent residues.
In the case of ambient air with a high air humidity, the measured value can reduce to
50 to 55 kV.
High-voltage measurement with high-voltage tester
Place the ball of the high-voltage tester on the gun electrode and turn on the high voltage.
The measured value should be 70 to 80 kV.
Notes:
- When measuring the high voltage the measuring device should be held at arms length
as far from the body as possible.
- There should be no chargeable objects within a radius of 1 m; 3.28 ft of the place where
the measurements are taken.
- The placing of the measuring ball of the high-voltage measuring device reduces the
spraying of the high-voltage electrode. As a result the high-voltage value increases
compared to the spraying in the free space.
