Spray Area /

High Voltage Equip-

ment

This is a high voltage device that

can produce electrical arcs ca-

pable of igniting coating materials.

Parts being sprayed must be supported on convey-

ors or hangers and be grounded. The resistance

between the part and ground must not exceed 1

megohm. (Reference NFPA-33.)

A safe distance must be maintained between the parts

being coated and the atomizer bell. A distance of at

least 1 inch for each 10 kV of power supply output

voltage is required at all times.

Parts must be supported so that they will not swing

and reduce the clearance specified above.

All electrically conductive objects in the spray area,

with the exception of those objects required by the

process to be at high voltage, must be grounded.

Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous

locations, the power supply and other electrical

equipment must not be used in Class I, Division 1

or 2 locations.

Intended Use

Using coating materials and/or

cleaning and flushing solvents

which have flash points below

100

F (37.8

C) may cause a fire

This system is intended for use with waterborne

coating formulations only.

Waterborne, waterbase and water reducible coatings

are considered the same. Although they may not

be highly flammable, their residues are considered

combustible.
