Aerobell Copes - Installation
INSTALLATION
AIR & FLUID CONNECTIONS
See Figure 6 for rear views of the Aerobell Copes
manifolds. Refer to this figure for proper location
of connections.
The Aerobell Copes shipping container includes the
basic atomizer assembly with bell and manifold.
Service tools required with the system are 2 (or more)
RPM-419 (wrenches) per bell spray zone or spray
station. (These service tools must be purchased
separately.) These are required to remove the bell
cup. Also required with the system is 1 (or more)
75852- 00 (retaining nut tool) per zone which are used
to remove the quick change Aerobell assembly.
Mount the Aerobell Copes securely to a stationary,
reciprocating or oscillating fixture using (Qty-4)
5/16-18 plastic (nonconductive) mounting screws.
AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
The following guidelines must be observed when
installing air filters for the Aerobell Copes system:
(See Figure 5 for additional information.)
1. Use only recommended pre-filters and bearing
air filters as shown in Figure 5. Additional
system air filtration (i.e. refrigerated air dryer)
may also be used if desired.
2. Use one bearing air filter per Aerobell
Copes.
3. Mount the bearing air filter as close as possible
to the Aerobell Copes (do not mount further
than 30 ft. away).
4. Where possible, the pre-filter(s) and bearing
air filter(s) should be mounted where they can
be easily seen so that operating personnel can
observe and determine when maintenance
is required.
5. Standard black iron or galvanized piping may
be used prior to the HAF-503 or RPM-417
pre-filters only. All piping after the pre-filter
should be brass, stainless steel, aluminum, or
hose (poly, nylon, nyliner, etc.).
6. Do not use tape, pipe dope, or other thread
sealant downstream of the bearing air filter.
Loose flakes of tape or other sealant can break
loose and plug the very fine air holes in the
turbine bearings.
7. Use clear see-through air tubing between
the bearing air filter and bearing air
fitting to clearly indicate if oil or moisture
contamination is getting past the filter.
8. If air heaters are used in the system
(to eliminate excessive in-line humidity
conditions) and the heated air will exceed
120 °F, the heaters must be located after
all filters to prevent damage to the filter
media.

> Risk of arcing / fire hazard. The Aerobell
Copes must be located a safe distance from the
object to be sprayed, as well as all other grounded
objects. The safe distance is at least 1 inch per
10 kV of applied electrostatic voltage. Example:
If the Aerobell Copes is used with 70 kV applied
voltage, the electrode tips must be at least 7
inches from the object being sprayed.

> Arcing / fire hazard exists if ungrounded
metal connections (air or fluid) are used in the
spray area. Use plastic nonconductive con-
nections, or ensure metal connections are at
ground potential.
