Section 2 Description Introduction The Nordson Tribomatic II two-gauge control units provide pneumatic and electrical controls for Tribomatic II automatic powder spray guns. The control units consist of one or two control modules installed in a dual-module cabinet. The cabinets are normally installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Flow rate air regulator and Controls and indicates powder pump flow rate (ejector) air gauge pressure. Pull the regulator knob out to change the air pressure, push it in to lock the setting. Part 106569B E 2003 Nordson Corporation...

If the pressure is too high the spray spray gun. gun parts may wear faster. Decreasing will increase the density of the powder-and provide better coverage. If the pressure is too low the powder may clog the spray gun passages. Part 106569B E 2003 Nordson Corporation...
8. Record the flow rate and diffuser air pressures, the powder type, and the A output on the chart furnished at the end of this section. Use these values to set air pressures the next time the same powder is used and to monitor the powder charge. Part 106569B E 2003 Nordson Corporation...
Check the module-to-cabinet and cabinet-to-ground connections. Losing the ground connection will affect transfer efficiency and create a safety hazard. Clean powder and dust off the control unit cabinet with a clean cloth or brush. Part 106569B E 2003 Nordson Corporation...
This chart can be copied and posted next to the control unit. Significant deviations from the recorded A output could indicate problems with the powder, air pressures, or gun. Air Pressures Powder Part A Output Flow-rate Diffuser Part 106569B E 2003 Nordson Corporation...
