Grounding

Grounding Grounding
The equipment must be grounded to reduce
the risk of static sparking and electric shock.
Electric or static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an
escape wire for the electric current.
• Reactor: Reactor: system is grounded through the Reactor:
power cord.
• Hose: Hose: use only Reactor 3 hoses to ensure Hose:
static ground continuity. Check electrical
resistance of hoses from the gun to the
Reactor system ground. If total resistance
exceeds 29 mega Ohms, replace hose(s)
immediately.
• Spray Spray gun: Spray gun: spray gun is grounded through gun:
Reactor 3 hoses. Use only Reactor 3 heated
hoses.
Fluid supply supply containers: containers: follow your local

code.
Object being being sprayed: sprayed: follow your local code.
• Object Object being sprayed:
Solvent pails pails used used when when flushing:
• Solvent Solvent pails used when
local code. Use only metal pails, which are
conductive, placed on a grounded surface.
Do not place pail on a nonconductive surface,
such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity.
• To To maintain To maintain grounding maintain grounding grounding continuity
flushing or or or relieving relieving pressure:
flushing flushing relieving
part of spray gun firmly to the side of a
metal
grounded pail, then trigger gun.

NOTICE NOTICE
Failure to properly size the generator may
result in damage. To avoid damage to the
equipment, follow the guidelines listed below.
• Determine the correct size generator. Using
the correct size generator and proper air
compressor will enable the proportioner to
run at a nearly constant RPM. Failure to do
so will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment. To determine
the correct size generator:
1. List peak wattage requirements of all
system components.
2. Add the wattage required by the system
components.
3. Perform the following equation:
Total watts x 1.25 = kVA
(kilovolt-amperes)
4. Select a generator size that is equal to or
greater than the determined kVA.
• Size the proportioner power cord using the
electrical ratings in
to do so will cause voltage fluctuations that
can damage electrical equipment.
• Use an air compressor with continuous run
head unloading devices. Direct online air
compressors that start and stop during a
job will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment.
• Maintain and inspect the generator, air
compressor, and other equipment per the
manufacturer recommendations to avoid
an unexpected shutdown. Unexpected
equipment shutdown will cause voltage
fluctuations that can damage electrical
equipment.
• Use a wall power supply with enough current
to meet system requirements. Failure to do
so will cause voltage fluctuations that can
damage electrical equipment.
