Vector R Series Cascade Applicators - Installation
Ransburg

FILTERS
1. Install an air filter assembly on the air inlet of
the control unit. The filter should be 5 micron with
a maximum working pressure of at least 100 psig
(6.9 bar). Screw the fitting into the filter inlet. The
filter MUST be installed with the arrow pointing in
the direction of flow. (Refer to the appropriate Filter
Assembly manual for "Installation Instructions".)
When the applicator is triggered, the resulting
air flow closes the contacts of the air flow switch,
thereby activating high voltage at the applicator.
2. Ransburg recommends that a fluid filter be
installed at the output of the fluid supply (pressure
pot, pump, circulating system, etc.). It is the end
user's responsibility to install the proper filter that
meets their system's requirements.
LOW VOLTAGE CABLE
Connect the low voltage cable from the control
unit to the applicator using a wrench to tighten.

† DO NOT over-tighten the low voltage
connection at the applicator. The plastic
parts could be damaged.

With the Vector design, multiple cables may be
connected together to create the length required,
up to a maximum of 30m (100 ft.). To connect
the cables, insert the male end of one cable into
the female end of the other. Tighten both cable
connectors against each other using two (2) 16mm
(5/8") open-end wrenches.
† The electrical discharge that is avail-
able from the charging electrode must not
exceed 0.24 mJ of energy. To achieve this
limit, any flow of energy from the paint sup-
ply through the paint line to the applicator
electrode must be prevented by grounding
the paint line at the applicator handle.
Verify that the applicator handle is actually
grounded before operating it! This is done
with a fully connected and operational sys-
tem, by placing one lead of an ohmmeter
to the handle and the other to the building
electrical ground (cold water pipe, building
structure, steel, etc.). This reading should be
essentially zero.
If a greater reading is obtained, check that
the control unit is grounded. (See the control
unit manual for "Grounding Procedure.")

† An air filter MUST be installed to permit
proper functioning of the air flow switch in-
side the control unit. This unit must filter par-
ticles 5 microns and larger.
