Startup
The startup procedure assumes the system was left
full of coating material after the last shutdown. For
daily startup, see Figure 1 and do the following:
1. Make sure the electrostatic voltage is off.
2. Turn on compressed air to the Iso-Flo system (5).
Verify that the setting is 5
−
8 bar (80
−
120 psi).
3. Turn on the fluid inlet pressure. Verify that the
setting is 5
−
10.3 bar (80
−
150 psi).
4. Turn on the electrostatic voltage. Verify that the
setting is 60 kV or less.

Operation
See Figure 1. Squeezing the trigger on the spray
device (1) activates the Iso-Flo system and spraying
can begin. Before spraying, check the fluid pressure,
atomizing air, and fan pattern and adjust as needed.
NOTE:
The Iso-Flo system supplies about 40 oz of
coating material continuously. In most situations
there are enough pauses between parts to allow the
system to refill itself. If your operation does not
provide these pauses, release the trigger on the
spray device completely for 5
−
15 seconds. Do this
every 2
−
5 minutes (depending on the spray gun flow
rate).
NOTE:
For Iso-Flo VC system, the supply volume
can be adjusted to less than the full 40 oz capacity.
Fluid Pressure Adjustment
To adjust the fluid output pressure and flow rate, see
Figure 1 and do the following:
1. Turn the fluid pressure adjustment knob (4) in
small increments.
2. Squeeze the trigger on the spray device (1) and
check the spray pattern. Continue adjusting the
pressure as needed.
NOTE:
The fluid pressure should be 0.7
−
2.1 bar
(10
−
30 psi). If you reach a setting outside of this
range, try selecting a different fluid tip size. For
details on selecting a fluid tip, refer to the instructions
provided with your spray gun.
Atomizing Air Adjustment
Use the externally supplied air regulator to adjust the
atomizing air until you achieve the required
atomization. To maximize electrostatics, select the
lowest possible pressure at which you can achieve
good atomization.
NOTE:
The atomizing air setting should be
2.1
−
3.5 bar (30
−
50 psi). Electrostatics will not
activate below 2.1 bar (30 psi).
Fan Pattern Adjustment
Refer to the instructions provided with your spray gun
for information on adjusting the fan pattern.
