User Manual - Safety

Electrical

Equipment

High voltage equipment is utilized.

Arcing in areas of flammable or

combustible materials may oc-

cur. Personnel are exposed to

high voltage during operation and

maintenance.

Protection against inadvertent

arcing 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

circuits disabled.

Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no

objects are within the sparking distance.

Explosion Hazard/

Incompatible

Materials

Halogenated hydrocarbon sol-

vents

for example: methylene

chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichloroeth-

ane are not chemically compatible

with the aluminum that might be

used in many system components.

The chemical reaction caused by

these solvents reacting with alu-

minum can become violent and

lead to an equipment explosion.

Aluminum is widely used in other spray application

equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,

triggering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon

solvents must never be used with aluminum equip-

ment 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 compatible, contact your mate-

rial 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 equip-

ment.

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, opera-

tion maintenance, and housekeeping. Reference

OSHA, NFPA- 33, and your insurance company

requirements.
