MATERIAL CONDUCTIVITY
The Aerobell 168 can be used with a full range of
conductive coating materials. With coatings having
higher conductivity, it may be necessary to isolate
the material supply tank and hoses from ground.
If there is any question as to the suitability of
spraying a material with the Aerobell 168, contact
your Ransburg distributor or representative. (See
the following “Warning”.)
TURBINE AIR - NOTE
If the turbine air is heated, check the maximum
rated temperature for the air supply tubing to be
used. Polyethylene tubing is rated for a maximum
of 80
0
F (27
0
C). Nylon tubing is rated for 200
0
F
(95
0
C) maximum.

Risk of arcing/fire hazard. The Aerobell
168 must be located a safe distance from
the object to be sprayed, as well as all
other grounded objects. The safe distance
is 204mm (8”).
W A R N I N G
!
Electrical discharge can cause fire or
explosion. If arcing occurs when a specific
coating material is used, turn the system off
immediately and notify your coating supplier.
Do not restart system until proper adjust-
ments are made to your coating material.

Non ignitable cleaning fluids are pre-
ferred.
Ignitable cleaning liquids shall only
be used if, after disconnection of the high
voltage supply, all parts under high volt-
age are discharged to an energy of less
than 0.24mJ before these parts may be
serviced.
Appropriate measures shall ensure
that the resistance to earth of the sus-
pending point of the work piece shall not
exceed 1MW measured at 500v or 1000v.
Use only electrically conductive con-
tainer for cleaning liquids; the containers
must be earthed to ground.
