Risk of arcing/fire hazard. The Aerobell 168
must be located a safe distance from the ob-
ject to be sprayed, as well as all other ground-
ed objects. The safe distance is at least 1-inch
(25mm) per 10kV of electrostatic voltage. Ex-
ample: If the Aerobell 168 is used with 100kV
applied voltage, it must be at least 10–inches
(250mm) from the object to prevent arcing.
MATERIAL
CONDUCTIVITY
The Aerobell 168 can be used with a full range
of conductive coating materials. With coatings
having higher conductivity, it may be neces-
sary to isolate the material supply tank and
hoses from ground. If there is any question as
to the suitability of spraying a material with the
Aerobell 168
TM , contact your Ransburg dis-
tributor or representative. (See the following
"Warning".)
! W A R N I N G
Electrical discharge can cause fire or explo-
sion. If arcing occurs when a specific coating
material is used, turn the system off immedi-
ately and notify your coating supplier. Do not
restart system until proper adjustments are
made to your coating material
.
