Functional description The powder in the powder funnel is sucked down into the chamber between the injector nozzle and the injector sleeve by the vacuum caused by the conveying air venting from the injector into the injector sleeve. The powder is electrostatically charged shortly before it leaves the gun nozzle. The electrostatically charged powder sprayed onto the grounded workpiece adheres to the latter s surfaces. The conveying air is set on the PGC 1 Powder Gun Control unit. To reduce the powder feed the powder feed adjusting knob must be turned counter-clockwise.

1. High-Voltage generation The voltage generator module (control module) supplies high-frequency low-voltage. This voltage is fed through the gun cable (14) and the gun connector (12) in the grip to the High- Voltage cascade (25). In the cascade (25) 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 High- Voltage is attained. The High-voltage is then fed from the spray nozzle to the electrode (e). See also Figures 7 and 8, page 7. 25 c d e 21 Reed switch 12 14 Figure 5. Magnet 2. Circuitry In addition to the low-voltage a switching voltage is fed to the gun. When the gun trigger (21) is actuated, a reed switch closes the circuit. The control module switches the lowvoltage and the rinsing air on. This reed switch satisfies safety regulations of most major standards. 5

3. Powder flow and rinsing air Powder Rinsing air Conveying air Figure 6. An exposed electrode in operation will be covered with powder very quickly, which will lead to a reduction in the coating quality of the gun. A small stream of air (rinsing air) flowing around the electrode prevents powder from settling on the electrode. Rinsing air is connected to the connection point 1.4 (7 - Fig. 9, page 8) at the rear of the control module. The function of the nozzles are described in the applicable sections (see page 7). 6

4. Flat jet nozzle with vented centre electrode High-Voltage e Rinsing air Figure 7. The air-cleaned 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. The rinsing air control on the control module is described in the applicable section (see page PGC 1 Operating Instructions). 5. Round nozzle with vented deflector and vented centre electrode High-Voltage e Rinsing air Figure 8. 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. The rinsing air control on the control module is described in the applicable section (see PGC 1 Operating Instructions). 7

Installation of powder coating equipment. The powder coating equipment is pre-assembled in the factory to a point where only the gun connections and air hoses must be connected. Refer to the assembly drawing (Fig. 17, page 19). - Connect the hose for the external compressed air input to the inlet 1.1 IN (10) at the rear of the control module. - Fit the red hose to the conveying air outlet 1.2 (9) at the rear of the control module and the other end to the fitting of the vacuum nozzle valve body. - Connect the rinsing air hose (small diameter transparent hose) to the connection on the gun and the other end to the outlet 1.4 (7) at the rear of the control module.
