1.5. Installation rules
•
The ISOCUBE insulating cabinet
gun has been designed to operate within a 2nd-degree
pollution environment, as defined according to standards IEC 60664-1 and IEC 61010-
1:2010.
2nd-degree pollution:
under normal use conditions, only non-conductive type pollution
arises. On a temporary basis, conduction caused by condensation may arise.
• The ISOCUBE insulating cabinet must be installed indoors; outdoor installation is strictly pro-
hibited.
• The electrostatic projection equipment can only be used in designated projection spots
in accordance with Standard EN 16985 or under equivalent ventilation conditions.
•
This equipment must not be used in a cab or an application room for solvent-based paints,
flammable liquids or ones which form explosive atmospheres.
• The use of this equipment in a work area for the application of electrostatic flammable
products or ones which form explosive atmospheres is dangerous.
• Install the isolating cabinet
away from any explosive zone
.
• Servo-control the isolating cabinet to the “on” position of the booth’s suction fan.
• Connect the generator to the installation's earth terminal and to the electro-pneumatic
box.
• The product supply system and the sprayer must be connected directly to the high volt-
age.
• The container of the spray product must be electrically conductive (metal) and be con-
nected to the circuit by the alligator clip.
• Connect all metal parts of the installation (paint pumps, containers, stools, spin coaters,
etc., which positioned within three meters of the sprayer to the ground.
• Keep the spray zone clean and free of all unnecessary components.
• There must be an antistatic floor (unclad concrete flooring or a metal grating) in the spray-
ing area. Never cover the floor with an insulating covering. In potentially explosive loca-
tions, the floor assemblies must be antistatic, in accordance with Standard EN 61340-4-1.
• The use inside the booth of an uncovered flame, any incandescent object, a device or
object capable of generating sparks other than the sprayer is strictly prohibited.
• It is also prohibited to store in the vicinity of the booth or in front of the doors flammable
products or containers in which such products had been stored.
• The jars and cans containing paint or solvent must be systematically closed after use.
•
Inside an explosive zone
, it is prohibited to use electrical or non-electrical equipment that
has not been certified, like electrical extension cables, surge protector power bars,
switches, etc.
1.6. Rules of use
• Verify the extraction ventilation system efficiency on a daily basis.
• Once a week, verify the adequate operations of the ventilation system servo controls.
• Correctly ground all metal parts of the booth, along with the parts to be painted. The
resistance relative to the ground must be less than or equal to 1M
Ω
(for a 500-V voltage
measurement). This resistance must be regularly checked and, in any case, at least once
a week.
• Ensure that anyone entering the spray zone is wearing the antistatic shoes in accordance
with standards EN 61340-4-3 and ISO 20344. The measured insulation resistance must not
exceed 100M
Ω
• The protective clothing intended to be worn, including gloves, must be compliant with
Standard EN 1149-5. The measured insulation resistance must not exceed 100M
Ω
• Using personal protective equipment will limit the risks from contact and/or inhalation of
toxic products, gases, steam, mist and dust which may be created by the use of the
equipment. The operator must following the coating product manufacturer's recommen-
dations.
