REA III 100kV Automatic Applicator - Operation
1. Parts, Equipment and Supplies:
a. Ground the spray booth, the paint tank,
and the conveyor.
b. Ground ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL solvent containers.
c. Ground ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL work holders and hooks and
keep them free of paint.
d. See that no more than one gallon of solvent
per safety container per operator is inside
the work area.
e. See that the power supply is grounded and
located outside the spray area.
f. See that conductive flooring is provided in
all spray areas.
g. See that the proper fire extinguishing
equipment is provided.
> Verify that the applicator body assembly is
actually grounded before operating it! This is
done with a fully connected and operation
system, by placing one lead of an ohm meter
to the body assembly and the other to the
building electrical ground (cold water pipe,
building structure, etc.). The reading should
be essentially zero.
> If a reading much greater than zero is
obtained, check that the power supply is
grounded. Place one lead of the ohm meter on
the building electrical ground and the other on
the high voltage cable outlet bushing. If the
reading is much greater than zero, reconnect
the power supply ground. If the meter reads
zero, check the high voltage cable. Place one
lead on the high voltage cable retaining nut and
the other lead on the applicator body assem-
bly. If the reading is much greater than zero,
the braided cable may be defective and should
be replaced.

(See ITW Ransburg “Safety Literature
Handbook - Electrostatic Safety
Information from ITW Ransburg”.)
b. Turn the power supply OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF prior to
cleaning or working on the equipment.
c. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER immerse any part of, or all of a
spray applicator in any liquid, while
assembled.
d. Personnel MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST stay out of the spray
booth during operation.
3. Ventilation:
Electrostatic attraction greatly reduces paint
overspray, thereby reducing ventilation
requirements. An exhaust velocity of 100 to
150 FPM at the spray position is normally
adequate. Exhaust system (and conveyor)
MUST
MUST MUST MUST MUST be interlocked with the triggering
function.
> Exhaust system and conveyor must be
interlocked with high voltage
