Typical Paint Sequence
Typical Color Change Sequence
Sequence Event Explanation:
1. Bell to Speed - This is accomplished by
a set point command from either the PLC,
robot, or other input device, through the I/O
module.
2. Shaping Air - Set to 350-450 (12.4-15.9
SCFM) while performing a cup flush.
3. Voltage On - The voltage is turned on from
a signal to the MicroPak. The lag time to
full voltage may be reduced if a setback
voltage is used. Recommended setback
voltage is between 30 kV and 50 kV.
4. Trigger Fluid - An air signal is sent through
the PT line of the tubing bundle. This
should occur when the target is 6-12-inch-
es (152.4-304.8mm) from the applicator
centerline. (Not to be confused with target
distance.)
5. Voltage Off/Setback Voltage - Immediately
precedes the trigger off. Using a setback
voltage shortens the cascade voltage ramp
up time.
6. Fluid Trigger Off - This should occur
when the target is typically 0-6-inches (0-
152.4mm) past the applicator centerline.
7. Shaping Air to Setback - The setback flow
of air should never be below 70 slpm (2.6
SCFM) for the shape air.
8. Color Change Sequence - Used when col-
or is changed one to the other. Typical se-
quence is shown in “Typical Color Change

† During this sequence, the applica-
tor should be moved to a position to
collect the waste material.

The sequence shown is a starting point for
processing, but the final sequence will de-
pend on the material being sprayed and the
solvent used to purge the applicator with.
LOW VOLTAGE CABLE
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
(See “Quick Disconnect Cables” and “Low
Voltage Cable On Robot” figures)
A low voltage cable is provided to send power to
the high voltage cascade in the atomizer as well
as sending important information during operation
back to the MicroPak controls. One piece of the
cable is a permanent length of approximately
60-inches (1.5 meters) from the robot plate end.
The connecting Cable can be ordered in various
lengths depending on the distance required to
reach from the robot arm to the MicroPak controller.
The ends of the cables have a male and female
quick disconnect end. This provides for a quick
and easy removal of the cable at the robot plate
if servicing or replacement is required.
It is important the quick disconnect fitting be se-
cured to a good ground source. The A12241-XX or
A12493-XX cable is supplied with a ground cable
which can be secured to the bulkhead connector
and the other end to a known ground source.
The cable can also be grounded by attaching the
bulkhead connector to a grounded bulkhead plate.
The bulkhead plate can be nor more than 1/8-inch
