Safety rules for electrostatic powder coating operations 1. This equipment can be dangerous when not operated according to the following operating instructions. 2. In addition, the equipment must be set up and operated according to the latest local standards. 3. The operating instructions of the powder recovery plant must also be observed. 4. All electrostatic conductive parts which are within 5 metres of the coating area, especially the workpieces, must be grounded. 5. The floor of the coating area must be electrostatically conductive. Normal concrete is generally conductive. 6. The operating personnel must wear electrostatically conductive footwear, i.e. leather soles. 7. It is important that a good metal-to-metal contact exists between the control unit(s), the gun(s), coating booth, and the workpiece conveyor system. 8. The electrical cables and powder feed hoses to the gun(s) must be laid out so that they are protected from mechanical damage. 9. The powder coating equipment should only be switched on after the coating booth is in operation. If the booth breaks down then the powder coating equipment must also switch off. 10. The ground leakage resistance of the workpiece contact point can be a maximum of 1MΩ. The design of the workpiece suspension and hooks must ensure that the workpieces remain grounded. N.B : Because the workpieces are grounded through metal hooks, it is important that the hooks are cleaned regularly, in order to prevent an insulating layer of melted coating powder from building up. 11. Check the grounding of all electrostatic conductive parts at least once a week. 12. When cleaning the gun or changing nozzles the control module must be switched off. 29

Functional description 1. High-Voltage generation The voltage generator module (control module) supplies high-frequency low-voltage. This voltage is fed through the gun cable (3) and the gun connector (2) in the grip to the highvoltage cascade (1). In the cascade (1) this low voltage is stepped up (c). This primary high-voltage is subsequently rectified and multiplied in several stages in the cascade (d) until the required highvoltage is attained. The high-voltage is then fed from the spray nozzle to the electrode (e). See also Figures 5 and 6. e 1 2 3 d c Figure 3. 2. Circuitry The is switched on when the control module is switched on.the control module switches the low-voltage, the powder feed, and the gun air (rinsing air) on. 3. Powder flow and rinsing air Rinsing air Figure 4. Powder dditional air, functioning as rinsing air, is connected to the connection point 1.4 (8 - Fig.7, page 6), at the rear of the PGC 1 control module. The rinsing air tube and the powder tube run side by side in the shaft, not one inside the other, as may appear in Figure 4. The function of the nozzles are described in the applicable sections (see page 5). 4

4. Flat jet nozzle with vented centre electrode High-Voltage e Rinsing air Figure 5 The flat jet nozzle atomizes and electrically charges the powder. The slotted opening shapes the powder cloud to form an oval spray pattern. The powder is charged by the central electrode. The high-voltage, generated inside the gun, is fed via the black contact ring of the nozzle holder to the centre electrode. In order to prevent powder from sintering (building up) on the electrode, the latter is cleaned by compressed air during the spraying process. For this purpose the rinsing air is fed, via the small hole in the black contact ring in the nozzle holder, into the hole in the electrode holder. 5. Round nozzle with vented deflector and vented centre electrode High-Voltage e Rinsing air Figure 6. The deflector plate is used for shaping the powder jet emerging from the gun to form a powder cloud. The powder is charged by the centre electrode. The high-voltage generated inside the gun is conducted via the black contact ring of the nozzle holder to the centre electrode. Powder can build up on the deflector plate, which has to be rinsed with air. For this purpose the rinsing air is fed via the small hole in the black contact ring in the nozzle holder, then into the hole in the electrode holder and deflected in such a way that it blows across the inside cone of the deflector plate. The intensity of the rinsing air is dependent on the powder and its sintering ability. 5

Preparatory steps for initial start-up. a) Connecting the Automatic powder gun 1. Connect the cable (1) with the 7-pin connector to the socket labelled "A Gun" at the rear of the PGC 1 control module (See Figure 7. below). 2. Connect the hose for rinsing air (8) to rinsing air outlet 1.4 and to the gun. 3. Connect the powder hose (6) to the gun and to the injector (5). 8 A Gun B F1 F2 C Mains connection Type PGC 1 4.5...10 bar 65...145 PSI 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 IN 2 1 3 4 7 5 6 1.

Supplementary air hose (output - 1.3). 8. Rinsing air hose (output - 1.4). (The connection "B" is not used with automatic powder guns). Figure 7. 6

b) Setting the powder flow rate In order to set the conveying, and supplementary air correctly on the PGC 1 Control module and therefore the powder output, the amount of powder to be deposited must be determined first. The conveying air pressure setting for the pressure gauge (2) is found in the table on page 8 through the desired amount of powder to be deposited, in gramms per minute. If the conveying air pressure is increased, through the control knob (1), then the powder output increases correspondingly. If the ball in the flow meter (4) does not "float" in the green sector of the scale then the supplementary air must be adjusted either up or down, on the setting knob (3). Should the conveying air be set to over 2,5 bar then the supplementary air is no longer reqired and the setting knob (3) can be turned completely to the left-hand stop. IMPORTANT After every setting of the conveying air the ball in the flow meter (4) must "float" in the green sector of the scale (4-5 m 3 /h). 1 2 3 8 7 6 3.5 3 2.5 100 90 80 70 60 100 90 80 70 60 0 0 bar 4 + 5 4 3 2 m 3 /h 2 1.5 1 0.5 3 m /h 50 50 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 kv µa 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7a 7 7b 8 9 Front panel 1.

The gun must be mounted in the booth and pointed towards a grounded workpiece, approximately 20 cm away. All connections must be made. 2. Switch on the main switch (9 - Fig. 8, page 7) of the control module. The is under power when the lamp inside the green main switch illuminates. The equipment is active. 3. Depress the high-voltage control knob (8 - Fig. 8, page 7) on the control module, if not already in this position, and turn to the left-hand stop. 4. The lowest left-hand LED on the high voltage/corona current meter (7 - Fig. 8, page 7) should illuminate. 5. Set the pressure for the desired rate of powder deposit (in g/min, see the table above) on the conveying air pressure gauge (2 - Fig. 8, page 7). The maximum output is 3,5 bar. 6. Check on the supplementary air flow meter (4 - Fig. 8, page 7) if the ball "floats" within the green sector of the scale. If it does not, turn the supplementary air control knob (3 - Fig. 8, page 7) to the left or right, until the ball is positioned correctly. 7. Set the rinsing air by turning the rinsing air control knob (5 - Fig. 8, page 7) until the ball in the rinsing air flow meter (6 - Fig. 8, page 7) "floats" within the respective green sector of the scale depending on the type of jet nozzle being used (flat jet nozzle or round jet nozzle). When all the above checks have been successfully completed, the gun is ready for use. If it fails to function correctly, consult the trouble shooting guide on pages 17 and 18. 8

Start-up a) Adjusting the powder output and powder cloud The powder output is dependent on the type of powder, the powder hose length and the number of coils, the powder hose diameter, the conveying air pressure, and the dosing air. 1. The gun must be mounted in the booth and pointed towards a grounded workpiece, approximately 20 cm away. All connections must be made. 2. Check powder fluidization visually. 3. Switch the control module on. 4. Set the conveying air (see page 8). 5. Adjust the supplementary air (see page 8). 6. Adjust the rinsing air pressure. Using a flat jet nozzle - Adjust the pressure gauge (2 - Fig. 8, page 7) on the control module to the desired powder feed rate (see table on page 9). - Adjust the supplementary air on the flowmeter (4 - Fig. 8, page 7) so that the ball "floats" within the green sector on the scale. - Adjust the rinsing air on the flowmeter (6 - Fig. 8, page 7) so that the ball "floats" in the lower green sector on the scale. Using a round nozzle with vented deflector - Adjust the pressure gauge (2 - Fig. 8, page 7) on the control module to the desired powder feed rate (see table on page 9). - Adjust the supplementary air on the flow meter (4 - Fig. 8, page 7) so that the ball "floats" within the green sector on the scale. - Adjust the rinsing air on the flowmeter (6 - Fig. 8, page 7) so that the ball "floats" in the upper green sector on the scale. 7. Adjust the powder cloud. Using a flat jet nozzle - Loosen the threaded sleeve by turning it approximately 45 so that the flat jet nozzle (or the extension) can just be turned. - Turn the flat jet nozzle in the desired axial direction. - Tighten the threaded sleeve. Using a round nozzle with vented deflector - Change the deflector (ø 16, 24, and 32 mm are supplied with the gun). CAUTION Never turn the deflectors, these are pushed on an O-ring fitting! 9

b) Powder coating - Start-up IMPORTANT First check that all electrostatically conductive parts within 5 m of the coating booth are grounded. 1. Check the powder fluidization visually. 2. The gun must be mounted in the booth and but not pointed towards a grounded workpiece. All connections must be made. 3. Switch on the control module. 4. Adjust the high voltage: Check by observing the LEDs (7 - Fig. 8, page 7) 5. The workpiece(s) can now be coated. c) Shut-down 1. Switch off the control module. The adjustement for high-voltage, rinsing air, and powder output must not be changed. 2. For work interruptions such as lunchbreaks, over night, etc. it is necessary to disconnect the compressed air supply. d) Rinsing the powder hose Before long idle periods the residual powder must be removed from the powder hose as follows: 1. Pull off the hose from the injector. 2. Leave the gun mounted in the booth. 3. Blow out the hose manually with a compressed air gun. 4. Refit the hose to the injector sleeve. 10

Cleaning and repairs. Automatic powder gun Conscientious maintenance at regular intervals increases the service life of the coating equipment and will result in uniform coating quality over a longer period! a) Cleaning IMPORTANT Before cleaning the gun, switch off the control module and detach the gun connector (13 - Fig. 9, page 12) at the gun socket (A Gun). The compressed air used for cleaning should be free of oil and water. Daily: 1. Clean the outside of the gun. Weekly: 2. Detach the powder hose at the connector. 3.

If a part of the shaft (4) is broken or the high-voltage cascade in the shaft is defective, then the complete shaft must be returned to an ITW Gema service centre for inspection and/or repair. The High-voltage cascade is fitted according to a special process and therefore should not be dismantled by the user. The shaft assembly (complete with items 2, and 7), however, can be replaced as a spare part. See next page. 3. If the gun cable (13) is defective, the complete gun cable assembly should be returned for repair. 7 4 2 1 16 12 14 13 6 5 11 18 10 8 9 15 %,-&-&19 17 Figure 12 20
