2.2.1 SAFE HANDLING OF WAGNER SPRAY UNITS
The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries. Avoid injection of paint or cleaning agents:
Never point the spray gun at people.Never reach into the spray jet.
Before all work on the unit, in the event of work interruptions and functional faults:
– Switch off the energy/compressed air supply.
– Secure the spray gun against actuation.
– Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and unit.
–By functional faults: Identify and correct the problem, proceed as described in chapter „Trouble shooting“.
In the event of skin injuries caused by paint or cleaning agents:
Note down the paint or cleaning agent that you have been using.
Consult a doctor immediately.
Avoid danger of injury through recoil forces:
Ensure that you have a firm footing when operating the spray gun.
Only hold the spray gun briefly in any one position.
2.2.2 EARTH THE UNIT
Depending on the high-voltage of the spray electrode and the flow rate at spray pressures can produce an electrostatic charge in the equipment. These can cause sparks and flames upon discharge.
Ensure that the unit is always earthed.
Earth the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are earthed, e.g. that they are wearing derivable shoes.
When spraying, wear derivable gloves to earth yourself via the spray gun handle.

2.2.4 CLEANING
De-energize the unit electrically.
Disconnect the pneumatic supply line.
Relieve the pressure from the unit.
Ensure that the flash point of the cleaning agent is at least 15K above the ambient temperature. Otherwise, the cleaning works shall be carried out at forced ventilated cleaning place.
To clean, use only solvent-soaked cloths and brushes. The cleaning process mustn´t damage parts of the spray gun, it mustn´t be an abrasive procedure.
Parts of spray gun mustn´t submerged or soaked into solvent.
Non-ignitable cleaning liquids shall be preferred.
A suitable solvent for cleaning the spray gun depends on the part of the gun and on the material that needs to be removed. It´s recommended to use only non-polar solvents to prevent a conductive residue on critical components. If it´s necessary to use polar solvents to clean the spray gun components, all residue must be removed by using a nonconductive non-polar solvent.
All electrical components cannot be cleaned or soaked in any solvents. An explosive gas/air mixture forms in closed containers.
When cleaning units with solvents, never spray into a closed container.
For cleaning liquids only electrically leading containers may be used. The containers must be earthed.
2.2.5 HANDLING HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS,VARNISHES AND PAINTS
When preparing or working with paint and when cleaning the unit, follow the working instructions of the manufacturer of the paints, solvents and cleaning agents being used.

4 DESCRIPTION
4.1 FIELDS OF APPLICATION, USING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
The electrostatic spray gun can only be used with the VM 5000 or VM 500 control units.
4.1.1 PROCESSABLE MATERIALS
With the GM 5000EAC gun, paints can be applied which contain solvent of explosion class II A.
The spray gun basic version is suitable for processing of sprayed substances with an electrical resistance of > 150 k (according to the WAGNER scale). Equipped with a
special material hose for low impedance sprayed substances (available as accessory) you can also sprayed substances with an electrical conductivity > 50 k (according to the WAGNER scale) process successfully.
The application effectiveness is always dependant on the composition of the paint being used, e.g. pigments or resin.
Conversion of the resistance of paint
There are paint resistance measuring devices on the market that do not measure directly the specific resistance of paint. Multiplying the result of measurement with the device-specific cell constant (K), we obtain the resistivity value of the material.
Example:
The Wagner paint resistance measuring device is the cell constant K =123.
Measured value according to the WAGNER scale |
R = 500 k |
Specific resistance (RS) |
RS = R x K = 500 k x 123 = 61.5 M .cm |
Note
With sprayed substances and those with too low electrical resistance the electrostatic effect will not have any effect, i.e., there will be no „wrap around“ noticeable at the spray object. The relationship between the values of the high-voltage (kV) and the current (µA), shown on the VM 5000 control unit and/or on the spray gun, denotes the charging capacity of a spray material.
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, contact your WAGNER branch and the paint manufacturer.

4.5 SPRAYING PROCESS
4.5.1 AIRCOAT ROUND JET SPRAY PROCESS
In the AirCoat process, high pressure of 3-15 MPa; 30-150 bar; 435-2176 psi is used to atomize the material. The air at 0-0.25 MPa; 0-2.5 bar; 0-36 psi produces a soft jet.The size of the spray jet can be adjusted by turning the nozzle nut.

4.5.2. AIRCOAT ATOMIZING FLAT JET SPRAY PROCESS
In the AirCoat process, high pressure of 3-15 MPa; 30-150 bar; 435-2176 psi is used to atomize the material. The AirCoat air at 0-0.25 MPa; 0-2.5 bar; 0-36 psi produces a soft jet, which largely eliminates the problem of overlapping boundaries.There´s a possibility to reduce the jet by form air.

OPERATING MANUAL
4.5.3 ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE
The spray gun produces an electrostatic field by means of the high-voltage electrode. As a result, the particles of paint, which have been atomized by the spray gun, are carried to the earthed object by kinetic and electrostatic energy where they adhere, finely distributed, to the object being sprayed.

Advantages
•Very high application effectiveness
•Little over spray
•Coating of entire circumferences due to an electrostatic field
•Less working time
