Use the following steps to load the system with paint,
change paint colors, or change from flushing fluid
to paint.
1.
Enter Prime mode
to empty any flushing
fluid or paint without refilling the pump. See
.
2.
Supply the new paint to the fluid supply hose.
3.
Remove the spray tip and air cap. Check and
adjust the gun fluid pressure if necessary.
For example, adjust the pressure down to
avoid splashing while emptying the paint into a
container or gun flush box. Increase the gun
fluid pressure to speed up the priming process.
Remove the spray tip and air cap.
4.
Trigger the gun until new paint exits the gun. The
time that it takes to prime the system depends on
the length of hose and the fluid pressure.
5.
Reassemble the spray tip and air cap.
6.
Enter Spray mode
. The pump automatically
fills. See
.
The light tower indicates how much
paint is in the pump as it fills. See
Install the Light Tower, page 15

Contact with the charged components of the spray

gun nozzle or electrode or come within 4 in. (102

until performing the
.
Follow the
Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding
when you stop spraying and
whenever you are instructed to discharge the
voltage.
1.
Prime the isolation system. Follow
Prime the Isolation System, page 29
2.
Set the gun fluid and air settings. See
Adjust the Gun Fluid and Air Settings, page 30
3.
Put the system into Spray mode
.
Note
To enter Spray mode, you must first be
in either Prime or Standby mode. You
cannot enter Spray mode directly from
Purge mode.
4.
Turn the electrostatics on at the gun. Verify
that the ES indicator or Hz indicator is green.
Adjust the gun air pressure if needed. See gun
manual for details. Adjust the gun fluid pressure
according to the Gun Setup procedure in your
gun manual.
5.
When the gun is triggered, the system raises the
ground rod (N) in the cabinet. When the ground
rod symbol disappears and the charge symbol
appears, the system is capable of building a
charge. The control interface displays the voltage
building in the system.
See
.
6.
When the trigger on the gun is released and
the ground rod delay time has elapsed, the
ground rod (N) drops and discharges the system.
Release the gun trigger at any time to refill the
system.
Tips:
• Trigger air only to fully charge the system
before spraying
• To maintain a higher spraying voltage, increase
the ground rod delay time as far as practical.
However, increasing the ground rod delay time
also slows the fill time. See
