AREA
Tells where hazards
may occur.
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Spray Area
Improper operation or mainte-
nance may create a hazard.
Personnel must be properly
trained in the use of this equip-
ment.
Explosion Hazard
Improper or inadequate oper-
ation and maintenance proce-
dures will cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of caus-
ing fire or explosion is lost if
any safety interlocks are dis-
abled during operation.
Frequent Power Supply or
Controller shutdown indicates
a problem in the system requir-
ing correction.
General Use and
Maintenance
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between
the parts being coated and the applicator. A dis-
tance of 1 inch for every 10KV of output voltage
is required at all times.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazard-
ous locations, all electrical equipment must be
located outside Class I or II, Division 1 or 2
hazardous areas, in accordance with NFPA-33.
Test only in areas free of flammable or combus-
tible materials.
The current overload sensitivity (if equipped)
MUST be set as described in the correspond-
ing section of the equipment manual. Protec-
tion against inadvertent arcing that is capable
of causing fire or explosion is lost if the current
overload sensitivity is not properly set. Fre-
quent power supply shutdown indicates a prob-
lem in the system which requires correction.
Always turn the control panel power off prior to
flushing, cleaning, or working on spray system
equipment.
Before turning high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the safe sparking distance.
Ensure that the control panel is interlocked with
the ventilation system and conveyor in accor-
dance with NFPA-33, EN 50176.
Have fire extinguishing equipment readily avail-
able and tested periodically.
Personnel must be given training in accordance
with the requirements of NFPA-33, EN 60079-0.
Instructions and safety precautions must be
read and understood prior to using this equip-
ment.
Comply with appropriate local, state, and na-
tional codes governing ventilation, fire protec-
tion, operation maintenance, and housekeep-
ing. Reference OSHA, NFPA-33, EN Norms
and your insurance company requirements.
