Evolver NE Solventborne Robotic Atomizers - Safety

AREA

Tells where hazards
may occur.

HAZARD

Tells what the hazard is.

SAFEGUARDS

Tells how to avoid the hazard.

Electrical

Equipment

High voltage equipment is utilized.

Arcing in areas of flammable or

combustible materials may occur.

Personnel are exposed to high volt-

age during

operation and maintenance.

Protection against inadvertent arc-

ing that may cause a fire or explosion

is lost if safety circuits are disabled

during operation.

Frequent power supply shut-down

indicates a problem in the system

which requires correction.

An electrical arc can ignite coat-

ing materials and cause a fire or

explosion.

The power supply, optional remote control cabinet,

and all other electrical equipment must be located

outside Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas.

Refer to NFPA-33.

Turn the power supply OFF before working on the

equipment.

Test only in areas free of flammable or combustible

material.

Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only

as instructed.

Production should never be done with the safety cir-

cuits disabled.

Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no objects

are within the sparking distance.

Explosion

Hazard /

Incompatible Materi-

als

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents

for example: methylene chloride

and 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane are not

chemically compatible with the

aluminum that might be used in

many system components. The

chemical reaction caused by these

solvents reacting with aluminum

can become violent and lead to an

equipment explosion.

Aluminum is widely used in other spray application

equipment - such as material pumps, regulators, trig-

gering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents

must never be used with aluminum equipment during

spraying, flushing, or cleaning. Read the label or data

sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as

to whether or not a coating or cleaning material is com-

patible, contact your material supplier. Any other type

of solvent may be used with aluminum equipment.

Improper operation or mainte-

nance may create a hazard.

Personnel must be properly trained

in the use of this equipment.

Personnel must be given training in accordance with

the requirements of NFPA-33.

Instructions and safety precautions must be read and

understood prior to using this equipment.

Comply with appropriate local, state, and national codes

governing ventilation, fire protection, operation main-

tenance, and housekeeping. Reference OSHA, NFPA-33,

and your insurance company require-ments.
