WARING
Scope of suitable use for the equipment
z For mixed paint coating, the ACW1200 control unit consisting of the ACW controller, exclusive
ACW terminal block (ALB terminal block), flow meter barrier, solenoid valves and other electric
components required for control is used with the ACW mixing unit incorporating a valve system
alternately supplying two components. Do not use them in another composition or for another
purpose than mixing two-component paint.
z The paint, coating conditions and equipment installing conditions shall comply with the
specifications.
z There is a possibility of machine disorder, damage, malfunction, electric shock and fire. Use
the primary power and air supplies complying with the specifications.
z The ACW1200 control unit is not explosion-proof. Never install or operate it in a dangerous
area.
zThe intrinsically safe explosion-proof components include the flow meter and intrinsically safe
explosion-proof solenoid valves. The local operation panel (optional) is also intrinsically safe
and explosion-proof. Do not use other products in a dangerous area.
zDo not wet the ACW1200 control unit, ACW controller or another electric component with any
liquid (water, alcohol, solvent, etc.). Doing so may lead to machine disorder, damage,
malfunction, electric shock or fire.
zNever use any acid or corrosive substance or halogenated hydrocarbon solvent for the ACW
mixing unit or any paint control unit around the equipment.
zIf you have any doubt about the intended use of the product or the paint to be used, please
contact us.
z The use of the equipment under conditions other than specified above is considered as abuse
unless such use is approved by us.
<<General safety instructions>>

z Never apply a fluid or air pressure exceeding the allowable maximum to the equipment during
the coating operation. All components and accessories to be used shall be durable against
the maximum operating pressures mentioned above.
z Check the whole equipment everyday. If any unusual condition is found, turn off the main
power switch and, if the problem can be solved within the specified scope of maintenance work,
repair or replace faulty parts as necessary. If the unusual condition cannot be corrected within
the specified scope of maintenance work, please contact us or any of our distributors for repair.
z To ensure a safe operation of the system, all operators shall read and understand this manual
and labels attached to each unit. The equipment can only be operated by adequately trained
personnel.
z Fire and electric codes and safety related regulations provided by the national or local
government shall be observed during the work.

WARNING
Danger from fire, explosion and electric shock
<<Sources of ignition>>
When the paint flows through a pump or hose, it generates static electricity, which may spark at
any part of the coating machine if not properly grounded. Sparks may ignite combustible volatile
components of solvents, particles of sprayed paint, dust suspended in the air and other
combustible substances to cause fire or explosion, resulting in serious injury or damage to the
equipment.
z Always check that the coating machine, the products to be coated and all conductive materials
are correctly grounded
z Do not perform the coating operation in the vicinity of open flame, pilot lamp, drive unit such as
electric motor or engine or another source of ignition.
z Never smoke in or around a spray booth or in the atmosphere containing solvent.
z Adequately ventilate the spray coating place so that it will not be filled with a combustible
(solvent containing) atmosphere generated by the solvent.
z If you feel shocked even slightly by static electricity when handing the coating machine,
immediately stop the coating operation and check that all components are grounded. Never
restart the coating operation until the cause is located and corrective action taken.
z Fire extinguishers with a sufficient capacity must be provided in the place where the spray
coating operation is performed.
z The ACW1200 control unit is not explosion-proof. Do not operate it in a dangerous area.
When using an explosion-proof electric component such as flow meter, local operation panel
(optional) or intrinsically safe explosion-proof solenoid valve, thoroughly read the instruction
manual or specifications for that component before use.
z Do not wet the ACW1200 control unit or another electric component with any liquid (water,
alcohol, solvent, etc.).
zIf the ACW1200 control unit or another electric component generates excessive heat or smokes,
immediately turn off the main power switch to stop the equipment.
z When checking the equipment, never fail to turn off the main power switch on the ACW1200
control unit and reduce the air and paint pressures supplied to the ACW1200 control unit and
ACW mixing unit to zero.
z Do not overhaul or remodel any electric component or ACW controller installed in the ACW1200
control unit.

WARNING
<<Grounding>
Class D grounding is required for the equipment (to ensure an electric resistance not exceeding 100
ohms).
The pump, products to be coated and all other coating machine components (in use or around the unit
in use) shall be grounded to prevent accidents from static electricity. If no adequate grounding means
is provided, the grounding work (class D grounding) shall be performed according to the technical
standard for electric equipment.
The coating machine components shall be grounded as specified below.
(1) Grounding the pump

z Attach a grounding wire to the grounding terminal provided at the pump body or car and
connect the other end of the wire to a class D grounding means.
(2) Grounding the hoses
z All high-pressure hoses must be grounded to ground the whole coating system. When
connecting additional hoses for extension, check that each hose is grounded.
z The paint hoses in use shall be checked every week to measure the electric resistance.
The electric resistance shall be 100 ohms or less as obtained with class D grounding. If
the maximum electric resistance is not indicated on the hose, contact the hose distributor
or manufacturer.
Connect an ohmmeter to appropriate part of the hose to measure the resistance and, if it
exceeds the permissible limit, immediately replace the hose with another one.
(3) Grounding the products to be coated
z If hangers and earth clips are contaminated, complete grounding cannot be achieved.
Keep hangers and earth clips clean and conductive (grounded).
(4) Grounding the paint containers
z The containers, if made of a conductive metal, shall be placed on a grounded floor or table.
(5) Grounding the container of solvent used for flushing
z The container, if made of a conductive metal, shall be placed on a grounded floor or table.
Do not place it on a non-conductive sheet such as paper or corrugated cardboard.
<<Safe flushing>>
zBefore flushing, check that the mixing unit, whole coating machine and paint and solvent
containers have been correctly grounded.
zAdequately ventilate the workplace so that it will not be filled with a combustible (solvent
containing) atmosphere.

WARNING
Danger from toxic substances
<<Solvents>>
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents may explode if brought into contact with aluminum or plated
part of a pressure vessel (pump, heater, filter, valve, gun, etc.). The explosion may consequently
lead to fatal bodily injury.
Never use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents.
zExamples of halogenated hydrocarbon solvents

Fluorocarbon group Dichlorofluoromethane and trichlorofluoromethane
Bromine group Ethylene dibromide, chloromethylene bromine and methyl bromide
Iodine group Butyl iodide, methyl iodide, ethyl iodide and propyl iodide
Chlorine group Pentachlorocarbon, chloroform and dichloroethylene
Chloromethylene and
Monochlorobenzene, orthodichlorobenzene and perchloroethylene
dichloroethane group
Trichloroethane group Trichloroethylene and monochlorotoluene
(The above list does not include all halogenated hydrocarbons. For detail, contact the paint
distributor or manufacturer.)
<<Influences on the human body>>
If a solvent containing atmosphere or fluid comes into contact with your eyes or mouth or a toxic
substance is inhaled or swallowed and brought into your body, your nervous tissue may be
destroyed to cause serious injury such as lifetime functional disorder. Immediately ask for
adequate medical treatment.
Necessity of medical treatment

Immediately receive medical treatment by a medical specialist such as orthopedist, not by
a layman. At this time, you should tell him (her) the exact type of the paint you used.
z You may lapse into dyspnea or be poisoned by organic solvent in the mist of paint or spraying
atmosphere. Do not use the equipment in a closed room, tunnel, tank or another poorly ventilated
place. The user shall take enough care of persons and livestock around him as well as himself.
z The isocyanate used for two-component paint may hurt mucous membranes in your noise or throat.
You should be acquainted with components of the paint, hardener, solvent and other volatile
substances to be used. If you need further information, contact the paint or solvent manufacturer.
z When doing the spray coating work, always wear the protective goggles, working clothes and mask
recommended by the paint or solvent manufacturer. Additional protective devices may be required
depending on the paint components or ventilation level. Contact the paint or solvent manufacturer.

WARNING
Danger from spray and pressures
This system uses the paint under a very high pressure. Therefore, the spray gun is filled with the
highly pressurized paint. If the sprayed or leaking paint hits a person at a close distance, it huts his
skin and a lot of toxic substances penetrate into his body. If he fails to receive adequate medical
treatment, his nervous tissue may be destroyed to cause serious injury such as lifetime functional
disorder or surgical amputation of damaged part of his body. You may be seriously injured if the paint
is only pinged into your eyes or skin.
Necessity of medical treatment

If you are hit by the sprayed paint, immediately receive medical treatment by a medical
specialist such as orthopedist, not by a layman. At this time, you should tell him
(her) the exact type of the paint you used.
zNever aim the head of a spray gun to your body or another person or draw any part of your body near
the spray.
zNever cover the nozzle of the spray gun with your finger, palm or another part of your body.
zDo not start using the system before fully understanding how to operate it.
zBefore using the system, always make sure that hose joints and all connections in the paint circuit are
tight. Above all, check that joints of the hoses that move during operation are locked tight.
<<Safety device on spray gun>>
zEach spray gun is provided with a safety device. Before using the spray gun, make sure that the
safety device correctly functions.
zDo not remove or modify any part of a safety device. Doing so may lead to a malfunction or injury.
zUse the spray gun according to the instruction manual provided with it.
<<For safety against nozzle>>
zDo not put your finger, palm or any article in your hand onto the nozzle.
zTake special care when cleaning or replacing the nozzle. If the nozzle is clogged during the spraying
operation, immediately fasten the safety lock on the gun trigger, reduce the paint and air pressures to
zero and remove the nozzle for cleaning. It is dangerous to start removing the paint sticking around
the nozzle before fully releasing the pressures or with the trigger not locked.
6
WARNING
<<Safety of hoses>>
z Handle hoses with much care. Be sure that hoses are not caught or pulled by another object or
brought into contact with sharp edges.
zDo not bend or collapse any hose. Doing so raises the pressure in the hose and possibly breaks the
hose to cause the paint to be injected in a dangerous manner.
zDo not expose hoses to temperatures higher than 50 deg C or lower than -20 deg C.
zBefore starting the equipment, always make sure that hose joints and all connections in the paint circuit
are tight. Above all, check that joints of the hoses that move during operation are locked tight.
zDo not pull any hose to drag or move the equipment.
zNever use any damaged hose. Check each hose throughout its length for scars, leak, wear, swells,
cracks and loose fittings. In any of them is found, immediately withdraw the hose from service and
replace it with a new one.
z Any hose with paint leak must be replaced with a new one. Use a standard hose complying with our
specifications.
<<Danger from misuse of the equipment>>
z When checking or cleaning the spray gun, ACW mixing unit or another component, reduce the paint
and air pressures to zero to prevent accidental starting of the pump.
z Do not move the equipment when it is under pressure.
z Never apply a fluid or air pressure exceeding the allowable maximum to the equipment during the
coating operation. All components and accessories to be used shall be durable against the maximum
operating pressures mentioned above.
z To ensure a safe operation of the system, all operators shall read and understand this manual and
labels attached to each unit. The equipment can only be operated by adequately trained personnel.
z Fire and electric codes and safety related regulations provided by the national or local government
shall be observed during the work.

2 Outline of System
2.1 Outline
Different from the conventional volume type simultaneous pumping to the mixer, this system employs new
metering and mixing systems, in which each of the base material and hardener is precisely measured and fed
alternately into the mixer by the computer control.
Necessary quantities of the base component and hardener are very precisely metered by flow meters and
alternately fed into the mixing hose where the base component and hardener are mixed into a single fluid
(primary mixed paint). After that, the primary mixed paint is sent into the static mixer for complete mixing and
then fed into the spray gun.
Once necessary parameters are defined, the mixture can be sprayed only by switching on with the mode
button. The parameters are divided into two groups; the ones related with the equipment conditions and the
ones frequently used such as mixture ratio and flushing time, all of which are protected by passwords.
The mixture ratio, flow rate, quantities of the base component and hardener put into the system, the remaining
time of pot life, etc. are very clearly indicated on the ACW controller.
2-2 Principles of operation

In this system, two components are metered and mixed as long as the spray gun is on (spraying) and the
base component and hardener mixing valves close to stop the mixture control when the gun is off (see
Figure 2.2.1).
(1)When the READY switch is “ON” on the main screen, the mixture and color change controls are
available. With the READY switch “OFF,” the mixed paint is not sprayed even if the spray gun trigger is
pulled.
(2)As the spray gun trigger is pulled, the ACW controller activates the hardener mixing solenoid valve to
start feeding the hardener.
(3)The hardener is fed through the flow meter to the mixing hose (see Figure 2.2.2).
(4)The ACW controller controls the mixing valve according to the signals sent from the flow meter to obtain
the calculated target flow rate and accurately meters the hardener fed into the mixing hose.
(5)After feeding of the hardener is completed, the base component mixing valve is activated to feed the
base component in the similar manner (see Figure 2.2.3).
(6)Those steps are repeated to alternately feed the base component and hardener into the mixing hose.
(7)The primary mixture prepared in the mixing hose is fed into the static mixer where it is thoroughly mixed
and then sent into the spray gun.
(8)When the spraying operation is stopped, the mixing valves under operation are closed. (At this time,
both of the base material and hardener mixing valves are closed). When it is started again, the mixing
valves are opened to start mixing. Because both mixing valves are closed as soon as the spraying
operation is stropped, there is no possibility of the reverse flow that may lead to hardening in the
mid-line.
(9)The pot-life counter starts counting down right after the system is filled with the two-component paint.
As the spray gun trigger is pulled and the resetting point (flow rate) is reached, the pot-life counter is
reset for restarting. In short, the count-down continues as long as the mixture is left unused for
spraying. During the flushing process at the end of coating work, the pot-life counter does not count
down.

CAUTION
Poor mixing or hardening in the mid-line may occur.
zIf the hose length to the static mixer is too small, the paint cannot be thoroughly mixed by the
static mixer, possibly resulting in poor hardening. Do not reduce the hose length to the
static mixer or change the hose diameter.
zThe hose portion downstream the static mixer also serves to ensure the mixture quality. Do
not directly connect the static mixer to the spray gun.

6-2 Effect of mixing hose length on mixture ratio
The hose length to the static mixer has an effect on the mixture ratio. To achieve a larger mixture ratio,
the hose length from the static mixer to the spray gun shall be increased.
Adjust the hose length according to the following chart.

7 Two-component Paint and Flushing Fluid
7-1 Mixture (two-component paint)

As shown in Figure 6.1, the velocity of the fluid is higher at the Flow direction
central area in the pipe and almost zero along the inside
surface of the pipe wall. The paint as mixed with isocyanate or
reactor (hardener), which has been in contact with the moisture
in the air, initiates a chemical reaction and accumulates on the
pipe wall just like cholesterol to make the pipe narrower and
finally clog it. Fig. 6.1
Therefore, it is important to control the hardener and keep the
devices and pipes in contact with the mixture thoroughly clean.
Isocyanate, a chemical agent used for the two-component paint, may hurt mucous membranes in your
nose or throat. Put on a face mask for protection from organic solvents during the work. Additional
protective devices may be required depending on the paint components or ventilation level. Contact the
paint or solvent manufacturer.
7-2 Metallic paints

General metallic paints may be used but some metallic paints and special paints containing rough particles
(pearly paints) may not be used because the particles may clog the precision geared flow meters, which
have very small clearances, and make the mixture control impossible.
When using any of such paints, communicate properties of the paint to our sales personnel and perform a
test run in advance. When using a paint not used before, do not directly use it on the line but perform a
functional test using the equipment to check the mixing, washing and color change functions and verify the
coating quality with coated samples.
7-3 Flushing fluid

For cleaning the base component and hardener circuits and hardener tank, use a flushing fluid specially
provided for two-component paints. Do not use any lacquer or alcohol based solution, solution containing
much alcohol or collected and recycled solution.
CAUTION
There is a possibility of machine disorder, malfunction or hardening in the mid-line.
z Do not use any lacquer or alcohol based solution for flushing the equipment. It reacts with
the mixture or hardener and accumulates in the flow meters and mixing valves in the
equipment and on inside surfaces of paint hoses just like cholesterol to cause a machine
disorder and gel the fluid in circuits. Always use an exclusive flushing fluid recommended
by the paint manufacturer.
z Do not use any collected and recycled solution for flushing the equipment.
7-4 Ratio by weight and ratio by volume

This system controls the flow rates by volume. To convert a ratio by weight to that by volume or the
weight of the paint sampled for mixture ratio test (optional) to a volumetric value, calculation is required
using the specific gravity of the paint.
(1) Calculation of mixture ratio (by weight → by volume)
Mixture ratio (by volume) = Weight of base component / specific gravity of base component :
weight of hardener / specific gravity of hardener
(2) Calculation of sampled paint quantity (weight→ volume)
Volume of sampled paint (ml) = Weight of sampled paint (g) / specific gravity
18
7-5 How to control the hardener
When an isocyanate based hardener comes into contact with the moisture (OH group) in the air or another
solution, it generates an invisible substance (crystal dust). In the initial stage of reaction between the
hardener and OH group, no effect of the crystal dust is observed with eyes. But, after a certain time, it is
increasingly hardened and sticks to or accumulates on inside surfaces of pipes where the fluid flows slowly.
If it is sent to the system, it may affect the performance. Therefore, the following steps must be taken to
control the hardener.
(1) To keep the hardener out of contact with the air as far as possible, use an exclusive tank capable of
sealing in nitrogen gas.
(2) We do not take responsibility for the machine disorder or clogged circuit or flow meter due to the
crystal dust or hardened wastes generated when the hardener is not controlled with nitrogen gas. If
nitrogen gas is not available, the compressed air may be dried by passing it through an air dryer
(heated after cooled) and an air filter containing silica gel. In this case, however, the equipment
shall be used at the customer’s risk.
(3) Use stainless steel pipes and Teflon hoses, which are slow to absorb moisture or air, to feed the
hardener. In an absorptive nylon hose or easily oxidized iron pipe, the hardener quickly reacts and
hardens even if the circuit is apparently enclosed. Especially in hot, moist seasons, the hardener is
cured within a day in such a hose or pipe.
CAUTION
zThe hardener shall be kept out of contact with the air.
zThe hardener shall be stored in an exclusive sealable tank with the air replaced with nitrogen gas.
7-6 Spray life and pot life

(1) Spray life: A length of time in which the mixture can be sprayed to obtain a desired coating quality.
(2) Pot life: A length of time from the point of mixing to the point when the mixture is hardened (gelled).

The viscosity more quickly increases after the end of the spray life, in general.
The spray life becomes shorter with the increase of the air and fluid temperatures.

other than above, thoroughly read the instruction manual for that device before use and, if you need
further information, contact the manufacturer or distributor before installation.
(4) Each unit shall be installed with enough space reserved around it for routing of the paint hoses and air
tubes and for ease of maintenance.
(5)Vibration and noise give an adverse effect on the flow meters and may prevent accurate mixture control.
The ACW mixing unit shall be secured on a rigid foundation and installed at least 1m apart from
sources of noise such as robots.
(6) Never apply a tensile force to a power cable (to the flow meter, etc.), air tube or paint hose or collapse it
with a heavy object.
8-3 Connection of flow meter cables (exclusive)
CAUTION
There is a possibility of malfunction.
z If the flow meter cables are affected by noise, this may be indicated as an error by the ACW
controller, possibly resulting in a line suspension or malfunction. Always use shielded wires
and ground them to prevent noise.
z A malfunction due to noise is considered to exist if the hardener or base component flow rate
is counted up on the ACW controller display when the spray is not on.

8-6 Working in a dangerous area (combustible/explosive atmosphere)
When installing the equipment in a dangerous area such as inside of the booth, the following instructions
shall be observed. A difference of an explosion-proof device from general ones is that it requires “safety
check” before use.
WARNING
To prevent injury
z Never remodel the equipment or use a combination of units other than specified as doing so may
lead to an accident. If remodeling or structural change is required, please contact the responsible
personnel of us.
To prevent fire and explosion

z Check that all units have been completely grounded.
z Adequately ventilate the workplace so that it will not be filled with a combustible (solvent containing)
atmosphere.
8-6-1 Before starting the work

(1) The grounding work according to the “Guidelines for Electric Equipment Protection against Explosion at
Factories” is required for the equipment and all devices and tools used for operation, maintenance and
servicing of the equipment in a “dangerous area” where, for example, a combustible (explosive)
atmosphere exists.
(2) When directly involved in the work in a place where a combustible (explosive) atmosphere exists, all
operators shall have full knowledge about the explosion prevention and electric work and fully check
the safety of everything including the devices and tools to be used and (anti-static) working clothes.
8-6-2 Working tools

(1) The tools connected with an “outlet” when used, e.g. power drills and illuminators, must be checked
before work. Scared, thinned (elongated), swelled or otherwise deformed cables must be always
checked for.
(2) Perform a continuity test using an ohmmeter between metallic part or grounding terminal of each tool
and the power cable terminal and ground the tool before use.
(3) The outlet used in a dangerous area must be equipped with an interlock to open or close contacts
after a given delay. A capability of making electric circuits completely continuous or open when the
plug is inserted or removed is a precondition for the explosion-proof equipment.
(4) A power supply intermittently connected to a tool may become a source of ignition. Preventive
measures against human errors and correct operating procedures shall be strictly observed in working.
8-6-3 Grounding
For the equipment installed in a dangerous area such as inside of the booth (e.g. ACW mixing unit and
local operation panel), the main body and grounding terminals (e.g. terminals provided in the spray booth)
shall be grounded according to the “Guidelines for Electric Equipment Protection against Explosion at
Factories.”
(1) A continuity test shall be performed between the main bodies of the ACW mixing unit and local
operation panel (optional) and the grounding terminals to check that there is a continuity meeting the
standard for class D grounding.
24
(2) Thoroughly read the paragraph of “Grounding” in section 1 “For Safe and Correct use” before starting
the work.
8-7 Connection of air hoses
8-7-1 Connection to ACW1200 control unit
(1)Install the attached filter regulator.

(2)Connect the air hose coming from the compressor to the air
cock (G1/4 screw) on the filter regulator 1. 1
(3)The air hose for the spray gun shall be connected with the
2
cock 2. Adjust the pressure applied to the spray gun with
the filter regulator.
(4)The compressed air supply shall be separately connected
from other driving air supplies so that the air flow switch will
not be activated when the spray gun is not in use.
(5)It is recommended to use air hoses not smaller than 3/8 inch
(8mm) in inside diameter.
NOTE
The compressed air for spray gun shall be taken from the cock mentioned above.
The air supply on/off control for spray gun is linked with the mixing switch.
8-7-2 ACW mixing unit

(1) Connect the air hose from the compressor to the joint (G1/4 screw) 1.
(2) The air pressure shall be 0.4MPa or higher. It is recommended to install an air regulator as necessary.
25
8-7-3 Pilot air between ACW1200 control unit and ACW mixing unit
(1) Connect the attached φ6 air tubes (usually three tubes, but two in the case of a high-pressure type)
according to the nameplate.
(2) For the high-pressure type, two tubes are attached. In this case, no tube is installed for air purging.
(3) The attached air tubes are 20m long. Cut or extend to a desired length if necessary.

8-7-4 Connection of purging air hose (for the low-pressure type only)
The purging air valve is mounted on the ACW mixing unit (for the
low-pressure type). Connect the air hose with the following
procedure.
(1)Open the unit and connect the air hose coming from the
compressor to the joint (G1/4 screw) 1.
1
(2)The purging air to be supplied shall be adjustable in pressure
and free of oils and debris.
(3)It is recommended to provide an air filter at the purging air
supply to prevent intrusion of the paint in case it flows
reversely.
(4)The purging air hose to be installed shall be transparent and
resistant to solvent.
CAUTION
There is a possibility of machine disorder, malfunction and paint leak.
z The air purging valve joint contains a check valve to prevent intrusion of the paint into the air
circuit in case it flows reversely due to a disorder of the valve or for another reason. Do not
remove the check valve or replace it with another part.
26
8-8 Connection of paint hoses
(1) Connect the hose joint at the paint outlet on each pump (feeder) and that at the paint regulator.
(2) Connect the paint hoses coming from the paint regulator to the ACW mixing unit.
(3) For the hardener, use a Teflon hose with a stainless steel cap.
See 10 “Preparation of Paint and Compressed Air.”
8-9 Flushing the equipment
After the location of each unit is determined and the air and paint hoses are connected, flush the paint
circuit and equipment (circulate the flushing fluid).
WARNING
To prevent danger from toxic substances and compressor
z When working, wear a face mask, safety goggles and protective clothes for protection
against organic solvents.

z Check that all units have been correctly grounded.
CAUTION
There is a possibility of machine disorder, malfunction, or hardening in the mid-line.
z Failure to flush leads to the outflow of wastes, etc., which clogs the flow meters to cause a
malfunction or damages the valve or check valve seat, resulting in a reverse flow of the paint.
Never fail to flush.
z For the flushing fluid, do not use any lacquer or alcohol based solution, solution containing
much alcohol or collected and recycled solution. See 7-3 “Flushing fluid.”
(1) Flushing the pumps (feeders)

Suck the flushing fluid through the suction port and open the pump drain to circulate the flushing fluid.
Flush all feeders.
(2) Flushing the paint circuits
After flushing each pump (feeder), remove the paint hoses connected to the ACW mixing unit and
wrap a clean cloth around the loose end of each paint hose and run the pump to drain the flushing
fluid and remove debris, etc. in the hose. Flush the flushing pump in the same manner.
(3) Flushing the base component container
Chips and other particles stick to the inside surface of the container. Carefully wash them using a
waste cloth or brush.
(4) Flushing the enclosed SUS tank for hardener (optional)
See 9-2 “Flushing the hardener tank” and 7-3 “Flushing fluid.”
(5) Flushing the paint filter
After flushing, never fail to overhaul and clean the paint filter and other filters.
27
8-10 Feeders
The fluid may be fed from a pneumatic pump, pressurized tank (paint tank) or circulation line. When
feeding the fluid, follow the procedure described below.
8-10-1 When feeding the fluid at a pressure not higher than 1MPa (for the low-pressure type)
(1) Each feeder shall have a capacity not lower than three times the flow rate and delivery pressure
required for the spray gun.
If a spray gun delivery pressure of 0.2MPa is required, it is necessary to ensure a stable pressure
not lower than 0.4MPa at each paint valve of he ACW mixing unit although depending on the length
and inside diameter of the paint hose to be connected and the viscosity of the paint. Therefore, a
feeder capable of feeding at 0.6MPa or higher is required.
(2) The feeder shall be capable of generating a fluid pressure not lower than 0.6MPa for the paint with a
viscosity between 80 and 100mPa-s or not lower than 1.0Mpa for the paint with a viscosity not lower
than 100mPa-s.
(3) It is desirable to install the paint regulator and paint pressure gauge in the paint circuit consisting of a
2m or shorter hose from the CCV of the ACW mixing unit.
If the pressure is regulated at the outlet of the pump, it may significantly drop around each paint
valve of the ACW mixing unit. The pressure around the base component valve and that around the
hardener valve shall not differ by more than 10%.
(4) Keep the pressure gauge clean enough to ensure clear readings and regularly reduce the pressure
to confirm that the pressure gauge correctly functions.
(5) Use a filter with 100 or more meshes (0.15 x 0.15mm openings) in the paint circuit.
8-10-2 When using a cylinder pump

(1) Install a anti-pulsation device or paint regulator to prevent pulsation due to pump piston changes.
(2) Always use a feeder satisfying requirements of 8-10-1 “When feeding the fluid at a pressure not
higher than 1MPa (for the low-pressure type).”
8-10-3 When using a pressurized (paint) tank

(1) Always install a check valve in the paint circuit to prevent reverse flow.
Different from pumps, the pressurized tank is not equipped to prevent reverse flow of the fluid and
may cause the fluid to circulate between the paint hose and the tank. Always take steps to prevent
reverse flow to the tank.
(2) Provide a safety valve in the tank and a cock valve in the paint circuit for servicing and maintenance.
8-10-4 When using a circulation line

(1) Provide a T-shaped joint in the circulation line to supply to the ACW mixing unit through a single
circuit.
(2) When feeding the paint from the circulation line, always install a cock, paint regulator and paint
pressure gauge at the intake port for servicing and maintenance.
28
9 Hardener Tank (Optional)
WARNING

zCheck that all units have been correctly grounded.
9-1 Hardener tank

To prevent the hardener from hardening in the pump or valves as a result of contact with the moisture in
the air, it must be contained in an enclosed stainless steel tank capable of sealing in nitrogen gas.
(1) Use a Teflon hose to connect the pump and tank.
(2) Adjust the nitrogen gas pressure supplied to the enclosed stainless steel tank between 0.01 and
0.02MPa.
(3) Set the safety valve activating pressure between 0.1 and 0.15MPa.
(4) To check for gas leak, fill the tank with nitrogen gas (0.01 to 0.02MPa), shut off the valve at the supply
side and leave the tank in this state for 2 hours. If the pressure drops to about 3/4 of the initial
pressure, the tank must be leaking. Clean the packing at the filler port, etc. and replace if damaged.
(5) Before starting the coating work, never fail to make sure that the tank contains a sufficient quantity of
hardener for use in the coating work. When the hardener runs short and air is sucked into the tank, an
alarm such as “Hardener Flow Too Low” or “Hardener Flow Too High” is raised. Under certain
circumferences, hardened wastes accumulated in the hardener circuit flow into the flow meters and
valves in the mixing unit, resulting in a disorder or malfunction.
(6) An optional level sensor may be installed in the enclosed stainless steel tank to detect the fluid level at
the lower limit. When installing an intrinsically safe, explosion-proof lower limit level sensor, also
install a separate device to control the sensor.
See 10-4 “Supply of hardener.”
WARNING

z If nitrogen gas (N2 gas) leaks from the enclosed stainless tank, the nitrogen gas bomb
becomes empty within only a day. This condition is equivalent to that of a tank with the air
in it not replaced with nitrogen and generates crystal dust and hardened wastes, resulting in
a machine disorder. Regularly check for leak and nitrogen gas pressure drops and repair
29
the tank if leaking.
9-2 Flushing the hardener tank
CAUTION
z Do not use any lacquer or alcohol based solution for flushing the equipment. It reacts with
the hardener and accumulates in the flow meters and mixing valves in the equipment and on
inside surfaces of paint hoses just like cholesterol to cause a machine disorder and gel the
fluid in circuits. Always use an exclusive flushing fluid recommended by the paint
manufacturer.
(1) Completely close the main valve of the nitrogen gas bomb and, then, close the pressure reducing valve
of the bomb.
(2) Close the nitrogen gas supply valve at the top of the enclosed stainless steel tank and open the
exhaust valve to release the nitrogen gas until the tank internal pressure becomes 0MPa.
(3) Run the pump connected to the tank to drain the hardener remaining in the tank through the return or
drain circuit of the pump.
(4) Fill the enclosed stainless steel tank with flushing fluid using the attached funnel or such. Wash the
inside of the tank using a brush if necessary.
(5) Let the pump suck the flushing fluid and circulate it for a while.
(6) Drain the flushing fluid through the return or drain circuit of the pump to empty the tank.
(7) The tank can be more effectively cleaned by filling the tank with new flushing fluid and letting the pump
suck and circulate the flushing fluid again.
(8) Overhaul and clean the paint filter, Y-shaped strainer and other filters.
(9) When the equipment is to be withdrawn from service (for about a week), supply new flushing fluid into
the tank to fill the pump and circuit with the flushing fluid. At this time, it is not necessary to supply
nitrogen gas.
30
10 Preparation of Paint and Compressed Air
WARNING
Isocyanate, a chemical agent used as hardener, may hurt mucous membranes in your nose
or throat. Wear a face mask for protection from organic solvents during the work.
Additional protective devices may be required depending on the paint components or
ventilation level. Contact the paint manufacturer.
z Adequately ventilate the workplace so that it will not be filled with a combustible (solvent

10-1 Hoses
(1) Check each hose throughout its length for scars, leak, wear, swells, cracks and loose fittings. In any
of them is found, replace the hose with a new one and restore the equipment to the normal state before
use.
(2) Check hose connectors and joints (especially at the gun mounting section) for loose fittings and fluid
leak. If any leak is found, tighten or replace them.
10-2 Compressed air supply

(1) Use compressed air at 0.4MPa or higher.
(2) The compressed air to be supplied shall be adjustable in pressure and free of oils and debris.
(3) Prepare for air consumption enough to satisfy the spray gun specifications.
(4) If the air pressure at the gun head is too low, change the air hose to the next larger size to reduce the
pressure loss.
10-3 Base component supply

(1) Drain the flushing fluid remaining in the base component can or container and fill it with new paint (base
component).
(2) Run the pump to suck the paint.
(3) Adjust the fluid pressure using the base component regulator so that the base component and
hardener pressures will be the same. For the high-pressure type, the base component pressure shall
be about 10% lower than the hardener pressure.
31
10-4 Hardener supply
(1) Run the pump to drain the flushing fluid remaining in the enclosed stainless steel tank through the
return or drain circuit of the pump.
(2) Fill the tank with hardener using the attached funnel or such with care not to let the hardener stick
around the filler port of the tank or to the O ring (gasket). Wipe off the sticking hardener, if any, with a
waste cloth damped with flushing fluid.
(3) When filling the tank, watch the floating ball in the level gauge provided at the side of the tank not to
overflow the hardener.
(4) Pouring too much hardener through the funnel at a time may lead to an overflow as the opening in the
funnel is small.
(5) Firmly close the tank lid.
(6) Open the main valve of the nitrogen gas bomb and, then, slightly open the pressure reducing valve of
the bomb.
(7) Shut off the exhaust valve at the top of the tank. Then, open the nitrogen gas supply valve to supply
nitrogen gas and adjust its pressure between 0.01 and 0.02MPa. Open the exhaust valve to release
the air from the tank and shut off again 10 seconds later to replace the air with nitrogen gas.
(8) Run the hardener pump to suck the hardener. Operate the pump according to the instruction manual
for pump (feeder).
(9) Adjust the hardener pressure using the paint regulator so that the base component and hardener
pressures will be the same. For the high-pressure type, the hardener pressure shall be about 10%
higher than the base component pressure.
(10) When using a cylinder pump (high-pressure type), fill the cup of the material cylinder with packing
protective agent. Check that the mixing valve and the Teflon tube at the side of the hardener regulator
have also been filled with packing protective agent.

As the forced flushing is started, the drain valve automatically turns on to drain the mixture in the ACW mixing
unit.
Notes
z The power and compressed air shall be supplied to the ACW1200 control unit and the
flushing pump running before the forced flushing can be performed.
z If the “Pot Life Time Up” error is raised or the forced flushing is performed, the system
cannot be reset without flushing (pressing the W button). If no flushing fluid comes out of
the gun head during the flushing operation, the paint may have been hardened in the mid-line
and it is necessary to overhaul and clean the unit.
CAUTION
z Never fail to flush before the end of pot life. Especially when using a paint with a shorter pot
life, flush the equipment at shorter intervals.
z At the end of flushing operation, always check with eyes that the flushing fluid has come out
of the gun nozzle.

13 Preparation for Operation and Cautionary Notes
13-1 Preparation for operation

13-1-1 Power-up procedure and cautionary notes
(1) After connecting the paint and air hoses and cables, supply the paint and compressed air.
See 8 “Unpackaging and Installation” and 10 “Preparation of Paint and Compressed Air.”
(2) Check that the air pressure supplied to the ACW1200 control unit and ACW mixing unit (intrinsically
safe solenoid valves) have been set to zero so that the equipment does not accidentally move.
(3) Turn on the power switch of the ACW1200 control unit. All lamps on the ACW controller light for
about five seconds. Check the lamps for blown bulbs
(4) After the power-up, check that the READY lamp on the ACW controller is off. Also check that the
“ACTUAL” indicators for “A VALVE” and “B VALVE” read 0.00 and do not count up. If they count up,
the exclusive flow meter cable may be affected by noise. Check the grounding.
(5) Supply compressed air to the ACW1200 control unit and ACW mixing unit (intrinsically safe solenoid
valves).
(6) Open the air cock at the side of the ACW1200 control unit to supply compressed air to the spray gun.
WARNING
To prevent danger from misuse of the equipment
z Before the power-up, always reduce the air supply pressure to zero so that the equipment does
not accidentally move.
z Before the power-up, check that all units have been correctly grounded.
zBefore the power-up, check for combustible (solvent containing) atmosphere around the
ACW1200 control unit. Do not turn on the power switch in the presence of a combustible
atmosphere even in a small quantity.
13-1-2 Paint conditions

(1) Never fail to adjust the fluid (base component and hardener) pressures using the respective paint
regulators. Adjust the pumps (feeders) to prevent pulsation of the fluid flow and so that the dynamic
(not static) pressures of the base component and hardener will be the same
WARNING
Accurate mixture control may be prevented, resulting in an incorrect mixture
ratio or insufficient flow
z Failure to adjust the paint pressures using the regulators may lead to an incorrect mixture ratio
(poor mixing) or pulsation of the spray. Keep a higher pump pressure and install paint
regulators to prevent pulsation.
(2) Above all, keep a sufficient quantity of flushing fluid in stock. Be prepared to immediately flush the
equipment in case of the “Pot Life Time Up” error or hardening in the spray line. See 7-3 “Flushing fluid.”
50
13-1-3 Setting the parameters
Set the mixture control and flushing/filling timing chart parameters. See 12 “Parameters.”
CAUTION
Accurate mixture control may be prevented. See 14 “Operating Procedures.”
zThe mixture control and “learning” operation cannot be correctly performed without properly
setting the parameters.
13-2 Caution in operation

13-2-1 Mixture in mixing hose
When suspending the spray operation for an extended period or changing the mixture ratio, it is necessary
to discard the mixture in the mixing and paint hoses and spray gun.
<Reference: Hose specifications and waste spray quantities>
Mixing unit Mixing hose, 6mm in Mixing hose Waste spray
ID Hose capacity
capacity ID, 3m long through gun quantity
Hose length φ6mm 85mL 195mL
10mL 100mL
3m φ4mm 40mL 150mL
Calculate the length of waste spray time from the flow rate and waste spray quantity.
13-2-2 Operation of spray gun

(1) This equipment alternately supplies the base component and hardener and may not control the
alternate supply if the spray gun on/off intervals are too short (1 second or less).
(2) Keep pulling the spray gun trigger during the flushing or two-component filling cycle. Releasing the
trigger or stopping the spray in the middle may result in an error or poor control.
(3) Do not blow air using the spray gun (air spray or lap gun). The atomization air for spray gun serves
as a starting switch for mixture control. Blowing air with the spray gun raises the “Flow Too Low”
alarm. In this case, press BZ. STOP 1 and RESET 2 to recover.
13-2-3 Main title screen and operation panel

(1) Do not turn off the READY switch 3 until the daily coating work is finished. Turning on/off the READY
switch 3 resets the feeding process in the middle and restarts the process from the hardener supply to
make some parts overloaded with hardener. In this case, continue the waste spray for a while.
(2) Before starting the work, always check that no error or alarm has been pending.
(3) Keep the ACW controller clean. If contaminated with paint, switch labels may become illegible,
resulting in an operational error.

screen (0004).”
(3) Press the LEARN key 1 for base component or hardener to light both lamps. (Pressing either key
lights lamps on both keys.)
(4) Press the READY key 2
(5) Continue spraying until the lamp on the LEARN key 1 turns off. (Do not stop spraying in the middle.
Doing so raises the alarm “Flushing/Learning in Process.”
(6) Never fail to note the settings after learning. Open the parameter screens using password <0002> on
the liquid crystal display and note the settings. See 11-2-3 “Password screen (0002)” and 21
“Settings Recording Sheet.”
CAUTION
Accurate mixture control may be prevented.
z The valve responsiveness is measured and the mixture ratio is not maintained during the
learning process. The mixture ratio errors are not detected at this time. Do not perform the
coating operation during the learning process.
z Stopping spraying in the middle of the learning process raises the alarm “Flushing/Learning in
Process.” Do not stop spraying in the middle.

14-5 Mixture ratio test (optional)
14-5-1 Mixture ratio test

This is performed to check the mixture ratio. When performing the mixture ratio test, it is necessary to
change the mixing unit with the following product.
Part No. 4436 Part name Metering unit

The unit shall be replaced by changing the mixing block body. See 16-3 “Mixing block.”
14-5-2 Procedure for mixture ratio test (optional)

Accurate test results may not be obtained when the actual flow rates are significantly different from the
flow rates used for the mixture ratio test. Never fail to adjust the flow rates during the test.
WARNING
zWhen working, wear a face mask, safety goggles and protective clothes for protection against
organic solvents.
(1) Prepare the following tools for use in the mixture ratio test.
Tool used Description
1 Two cups with a capacity about 300ml Used for adjusting the flow rate.
Two cups with a known weight and a The cups shall be weighed in advance so that the components can be
2
capacity about 300ml accurately weighed with a precision scale in determining the mixture ratio.
Used for weighing the paint. The scale shall be capable of weighing to each
3 Electronic scale
0.1g and up to 1kg.
(2) Fill the system with the two-component paint.
(3) Note the flow rates during the spraying operation.
(4) Put the Teflon tubes for base component and hardener 1 in the cups prepared for adjustment and
open the metering valves 2.
(5) Pull the spray gun trigger to spray the atomization air only. The base component and hardener come
out of the Teflon tubes.
(6) Adjust the metering valves to approximately obtain the noted flow rates while checking the flow rates
indicated on the display.
(7) Release the spray gun trigger to stop the atomization air and feeding through from the Teflon tubes.
(8) Put the Teflon tubes for base component and hardener in the measuring cups and press the TEST key
on the ACW1200 controller. The base component and hardener are alternately fed five times.
Notes
An excessive fluid velocity leads to larger measuring errors while an insufficient fluid velocity
raises the “Flow Too Low” alarm. Adjust the metering valves to obtain the flow rates almost
equivalent to the actual levels.
(9) Weigh the base component and hardener using a scale and calculate the mixture ratio (by volume)
and the difference from the actual mixture ratio.
See 7-4 “Ratio by weight and ratio by volume.”
(10) If the difference is too large, repeat the learning operation. Check the flow meters for wrong settings.
See steps (1) and (2) of 12-3-1 Password <0001>.
(11)Then, close the metering values.
58
(12)Press W (WASH) to flush the whole circuit through the spray gun.
(13)At last, flush the metering valves 2 and Teflon tubes 1 by flowing the flushing fluid. At this time, open
the metering valves and pull the spray gun trigger to drain the flushing fluid through the Teflon tubes.
Receive the flushing fluid drained through the Teflon tubes into an appropriate container.
Notes
z Never fail to adjust the metering valves to approximately obtain the noted flow rates. If the
flow rates during the actual spraying operation and those used for the test are different, the
mixture ratio cannot be accurately measured.
z Calculate the mixing ratio by volume.
z If the base component and hardener viscosities are not within the specified limits, accurate
measurements cannot be obtained.
