INSTALLATION
Connect the voltage cable to the control unit voltage
socket. Gently hand tighten the cable retaining
nut. Connect the other end of the voltage cable
to the receptacle at the rear mounting plate of the
applicator, using a wrench to tighten.
>
Install and route the hoses and cables so
they are NOT exposed to temperatures in ex-
cess of 120°F and so that all hose and cable
bends are NOT less than a 6-inch (15 cm)
radius. Failure to comply with these parame-
ters could cause equipment malfunctions that
might create HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS!

>
The control unit MUST be located at least
three feet outside of the spray area. Install
units in accordance with the code require-
ments (see NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes).

>
The electrical discharge which is available
from the charging electrode must not exceed
0.25 mJ of energy. To achieve this limit, any
flow of energy from the paint supply through
the paint line to the applicator electrode
MUST BE prevented by grounding the paint
line at the inlet.
>
Verify that the paint inlet is actually ground-
ed BEFORE operating it! This is done with a
fully connected and operational system by
placing one lead of an ohmmeter to the inlet
fitting and the other to the building electrical
ground (cold water pipe, building structure,
etc.). The 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”).
>
The 9000W is is intended for use with
waterborne coating formulations only!

Refer to the Control Unit Service
manual for the “Circuit Diagram and
Instructions to Connect the Control Unit”.
NOTE
>
DO NOT overtighten voltage cable con-
nection to applicator, as damage to plastic
parts may occur.

!
The control unit of cascade style applicators
MAY be connected through conduit with an ex-
plosion-proof terminal on or near the spray booth
where it will be convenient, or may be connected
with a line cord depending upon application re-
quirement.
