(Published by C. Heymanns-Verlag, Cologne)
2) ZH 1/406 Guidelines for jet stream equipment (spraying devices)
(Published by C. Heymanns-Verlag, Cologne)
3) EX-RL/ZH 1/10 Explosion protection guidelines - spraying equipment
(Published by C. Heymanns-Verlag, Cologne)
4) VBG 23 Working with coating materials
(Published by C. Heymanns-Verlag, Cologne)
5) DIN-VDE 0165 Installation of electrical equipment in a potentially explosive
atmosphere (Published by VDE-Verlag, Berlin)
6) EN 50050/DIN- Electrostatic hand spraying equipment
VDE 0745 Part 100 (Published by VDE-Verlag, Berlin)
7) EN 50053/DIN- Selection, installation and use of electrostatic spraying
VDE 0745 Part 101 equipment - electrostatic hand spraying equipment for combu-
stible liquid spray media (Published by VDE-Verlag,Berlin)

Caution
The following points should receive special attention for the safe use of the
electrostatic spraying equipment:
1.2.1 Caution! Danger of injury by injection
The pressure should be released from the spray gun during breaks in
work or while assembling and dismantling the nozzle. It should be
secured, the control unit switched off, and the plug pulled out. Never
point the gun at yourself or any other person, the spray jet can cause
injury by injection.
Never put your finger or hand in the spray jet.
In case of injury to skin by paint or cleaning agents consult a doctor
immediately. Inform the doctor of the type of paint or cleaning agent
used.

1.2.2 Cleaning
The gun must be switched off when being cleaned and should never be
sprayed in "closed" containers (formation of a gas air/mixture which can
explode). The containers must be earthed.

1.2.3 Safety
Spraying can only be carried out safely, both for people and the environment, if
it is done in a spray booth or in front of a spraying wall with sufficient ventilation
(removal by suction).
In order to avoid occupational illness the safety regulations laid down by the
manufacturer of the paint or cleaning agent used must be adhered to during
preparation and application of the paint and while cleaning the equipment. In
particular, protective clothing, gloves, skin protection cream and breathing
equipment must be used to protect the skin and respiratory tracts.

1.2

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 GM 2000 EAC - EN

1.2.4 Protective breathing masks

Although the E-Static AirCoat spraying procedure produces very little mist, it is
not completely mist free. There are, in fact, few paint particles to be found in
the air. Nevertheless, the operator must use a protective breathing mask, (see
respiratory equipment instruction sheet ZH 1/134 and VGB 23 from the
professional trade association) during spraying operations.

1.2.5 The spray gun and the high pressure hoses between the pump and the
spray gun must be of a sufficient quality for the pressure produced by the
pump.
A permanent marking on the high pressure hoses must indicate the maximum
permitted working pressure, the manufacturer and date of production.
Furthermore, it must be of a suitable quality so that the electric resistance
between the pump connection and the spray gun is less than 1 megaohm.

1.2.6 Earthing
Depending on the electrostatic charge and the flow speed of the spray an
electrostatic charge may, in certain cases, occur on the equipment. This could
cause a spark or flame on discharging. In order to avoid this the equipment
must always be earthed.
There must be a conductive connection (potential equalisation cable) between
the material container and the equipment.
All persons within the working area must wear shoes with electricallyconductive
soles (e.g. shoes with leather soles). Gloves must also be conductive, because
the operator is earthed through the handle of the spraygun. The floor of the
working area must be conductive, in accordance with VDE 0745, part 1,
paragraph 35: measurements according to DIN 51953.

1.2.7 Extraction systems

Paint mist extraction systems must be fitted on site according to the local
regulations.

1.2.8 Accessories and spare parts

The manufacturer's guarantee and product liability are only valid if original
Wagner accessories are used.

1.2.9 Safety information on harmless electrostatic discharges

If the plastic parts of the spray gun are touched with the hand this can result in
a harmless discharging (so-called brush discharge). The same occurs when
you electrostatically charge yourself by walking on a synthetic carpet and then
touch a metallic door handle, thus discharging the electrostatic charge. The
charge on the plastic parts is caused by the high-voltage field of the gun. The
discharging is completely safe for people and is not able to cause any ignition.
A corona glow may occur at the electrode end of the gun when it is in use (only
visible under dark conditions). A corona discharge can occur if the electrode
(spray gun) comes within a distance of 4 - 10 mm from the object being spray-
ed. The corona glow does not cause any ignition hazard.

2.3.2 AirCoat round jet process

In the AirCoat process, high pressure of 30 to 150 bar is used to atomize the material.
The AirCoat air at 0 to 2.5 bar produces a soft jet, which largely eliminates the problem
of overlapping boundaries. The spray jet can be adjusted by turning the nozzle nut.
The multi-channel swirl nozzle produces fine paint particles, while at the same time
reducing their forwards speed and swirling them to produce a rotating motion. The
result is a soft, extremely well atomized spraying cloud.

Advantages of AirCoat

● High painting capacity AirCoat air

● Low fogging tendency
● Good finish Material
● High- viscosity paints can easily
be applied

2.3.4 Electrostatic effect

The spray gun produces an electrostatic field by means of the high voltage electrode.
As a result, the particles of paint, which have been atomized by the spray gun, are
carried to the earthed object by kinetic and electrostatic energy where they adhere,
finely distributed, to the object being sprayed.

Charged particles Electrode

Advantages of
electrostatics:
● Very efficient spraying
● Little overspray
● Coating of entire cir-
cumferences due to an
electrostatic field
● Less working time

Grounded object

2.4 What kind of spraying material can be applied?

● Paints containing solvents of the explosion class II A.
● Enamels, primers, textured paints etc., which have a specific resistance of > 50 kΩ
(according to the Wagner or Ransburg scale).
● The effectiveness of the spraying action is always dependant on the composition
of the paint being used, e.g. pigments, resins and solvents.

Note
With highly conductive materials, or those with a very high electrical resistance, the
electrostatic effect does not work so efficiently.

In the case of application problems contact the Wagner branch and the paint producer.

3. PREPARATION BEFORE STARTING WORK

Caution
The operating instructions and the safety regulations for the additional system
components used must be read before starting-up .
This spray gun must be used a part of an AirCoat-Electrostatic spraying system.
The control units VM 200 EN, VM 2000 EN or EPP 200 EN and other various
components are also needed (see Wagner-accesories).
The spray gun and paint supply system must be flushed out with a suitable cleaning
solvent before being used.

3.1 Preparation of paint

The viscosity of the paints is of great importance. The best results are obtained with
paints between 18 and 30 DIN sec. (measured in immersion flow cup DIN 4 mm). In
most cases, the application of paints of up to 50-60 DIN sec. for thick layers does not
cause problems.

3.2 Earthing
Perfect earthing is a prerequisite for optimum coating efficiency and safety.

The imperfect earthing of a workpiece will result in:

● Sparks between the object being sprayed and the suspension hook.
● Insufficient electrostatic effect (no wrap-around)
● Uneven coating thickness
● Back spraying to spray gun and sprayer

The prerequisites for perfect earthing and coating are:

● Clean workpiece suspension.
● Earthing of spraying cabin, conveyor system and suspension with 10mm2 copper
cable to system earth, earthing strip or ring.
● Earthing of all conductive parts within the working area.
● The earthing resistance of the workpiece may not exceed 1 MΩ.
