REA III 100kV Automatic Applicator - Installation
c. Install nut over union stem and start the stem
into the hose.
d. Using the 1/8-inch Allen wrench, screw the
union stem into the hose until it bottoms
against the ferrule.
e. Connect one end of one hose to the appro-
priate fitting on the bottom of the applicator
body and the other end to the power supply
pressure switch for trigger air. Attach the
other hose to the atomizing air source.

Using waterborne coating with electrostatic
equipment requires that the fluid source should
be isolated from ground and other precautions be
taken to ensure operator safety and system
efficiency. The following guidelines should be
followed:
• The fluid lines and source MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be isolated
from ground. An isolating paint stand or similar
isolating (non-porous) material MUST
MUST MUST MUST MUST be used.

• Isolation stand MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be at least 18-inches
from the grounded booth wall, chain link fence,
or other grounded objects.
• Air hoses to the pressure pot or pump on the
insulating stand should be nonconductive. Many
rubber hoses will have static grounding circuits
or carbon content and are NOT
NOT NOT NOT NOT suitable.
• Air regulators for pots or pumps should be
mounted remotely outside the fence or cage
area to facilitate changes in pressure without
shutting the system down.
• Grounding hooks at the cage MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be used
to ground portions of the system when
personnel are working close by.
• Fluid lines to the applicator MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be protected
from scraping and abrasion on the floor or sharp
metal edges that could lead to voltage pinholing
and loss of kV on the charged system.
• Cleanliness and maintenance are extremely
critical.
• Fully discharge system capacitance prior to
service.
> System capacitance must be fully dis-
charged prior to any service or maintenance of
the applicator.

> ALL charged (isolated) systems MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST be
inside a fence or cage to prevent contact by
personnel. An interlock system MUST

provided that interrupts high voltage flow to the
applicator if the gate is opened.
