OPERATING MANUAL
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500
2.5 PROCESSIBLE PRODUCTS
With the GM 5000EAC gun, paints can be applied which contain solvents of
explosion class II A.
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 transfer e ciency is always dependant on the composition of the product
being used, e.g. pigmentation 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)
Notice
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 sprayed product with regard to the charging ability can be read
from the indicators showing the actual values for the high-voltage (kV) and for the spray
current (μA) the actual values are shown either on the VM 5000 control unit or on the
spray gun.
high kV value, low μA value = ok.
low kV value, high μA value = excessive conductivity of the paint
-> no wrap-around
In the event of application problems, please contact your local WAGNER o ce and the
paint manufacturer.

4.2.4 CLEANING
De-energize the device electrically.
Disconnect the pneumatic supply line.
Relieve the pressure from the device.
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.
To clean, use cloths and brushes moistened with solvent. Abrasive agents or objects
must not be used. Ensure that the spray gun is not damaged in any way while cleaning.
Parts of the spray gun must not be sprayed with or immersed into cleaning agent.
Preferably, non-combustible cleaning agents should be used.
The choice of the appropriate cleaning agent 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.
Ensure that no electrical component is cleaned with nor even immersed into solvent.
An explosive gas/air mixture forms in closed tanks.
When cleaning devices with solvents, never spray into a closed tank.

In the AirCoat process, the spray product is atomized under a pressure of 3-15 MPa; 30-150 bar; 435-2,176 psi.
With the help of an air pressure of 0-0.25 MPa; 0-2.5 bar; 0-36 psi, a soft, spray jet is produced. The spray jet
diameter can be adjusted by turning the nozzle nut.
5.4.1 AIRCOAT ROUND JET SPRAY PROCESS
In the AirCoat process, the spray product is atomized under a pressure of 3-15 MPa; 30-150 bar; 435-2,176psi.
With the help of the AirCoat air, with a pressure of 0-0.25 MPa; 0-2.5 bar; 0-36 psi, a soft, at spray jet is produced
which largely eliminates the problem of overlapping in the peripheral zones. With shaping air, there is the
possibility of reducing the width of the spray jet.
