Aerbell 33 Rotary Atomizer - Operation
Ransburg
19
LN-9521-00.4
ELECTROSTATIC
VOLTAGE
The Aerobell 33 Rotary Atomizer receives its
operating voltage through a high voltage cable
that is connected to a remote power supply. The
power supply model and high voltage setting will
depend upon various application requirements.
See the "Specifications" section of this manual for
approved power supplies and refer to that manual
for detailed operating instructions.
NOTES
TARGET DISTANCE
The distance between the Aerobell 33 atomizer and
the target will affect the finish quality and efficiency.
Closer distances give a smaller pattern, wetter
finish and greater efficiency. Greater distance
will provide a larger pattern size and drier finish.
The high voltage circuitry will enable the applicator
bell to be operated to within a few inches of the
target without adjusting the voltage setting. The
recommended target distance is 8 to 12 inches.
If paint defects occur, such as fat-
ty edges or picture framing, reducing the
voltage should be a
last resort. To correct
the problem, adjustments to paint resis-
tivity or lead and lag trigger adjustments
should be made.
The electrostatic voltage applied to the
Aerobell 33 will affect pattern size, transfer
efficiency, wrap and penetration into cavity
areas. Normally 100 kV setting is appro-
priate for most applications.
