SAFEGUARDS

Spray Area

Explosion

Improper or inadequate operation and
maintenance procedures may cause an
explosion.

Protection against inadvertent arcing that is
capable of causing fire or explosion is lost if
any safety interlocks are disabled during
operation. Frequent power supply shut-
down indicates a problem in the system
requiring correction.

Follow These Guidelines

Electrostatic arcing MUST be prevented.

All electrical equipment must be located outside Class I
or II, Division 1 or 2 hazardous areas, in accordance
with NFPA 33, 2009 Edition.

Test only in areas free of flammable or combustible
materials.

The current overload sensitivity (if equipped) MUST be
set as described in corresponding section of the equip-
ment manual. Protection 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 shutdown indicates a problem with the
system which requires correction.

Always turn the control panel off prior to flushing, clean-
ing, or working on spray system equipment.

Ensure that the control panel is interlocked with the
ventilation system and conveyor in accordance with
NFPA 33, 2009 Edition.

Have fire extinguishing equipment readily available and
tested periodically.

Explosion - Incompatible Materials

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents for ex-
ample: methylene chloride and 1,1,1,-
Trichloroethane are not chemically compati-
ble 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.

Spray Area

Follow These Guidelines

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
compatible, contact your coating supplier. Any other
type of solvent may be used with aluminum equipment.
