V 03/13 OptiSpray DPP01 - start-up Configuration The start-up of the OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump takes place ac- cording to following instructions: 1. Connect the compressed air supply (6 bar) 2. Connect the power supply (100-240 VAC) 3. Ensure the grounding 4.
V 03/13 OptiSpray DPP01 - operating elements LEDs and operating keys Status LEDs Power Power - equipment is switched on Status Status - reserved Error Error - reserved Diagnostic LEDs These LEDs are assigned to the corresponding valves and illuminate when the valve is activated.
V 03/13 OptiSpray DPP01 - characteristics Conveying direction The OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump conveying direction is defined by the direction of arrow, that means, the suction side is on the bottom, the transport side on the top (see picture).
Operation The OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump is switched on by pressing the Mains Switch key on the rear side, the status LED Power on the front side illuminates. The OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump is ready for operation.
The backpressure may not exceed 1.2 bar (Hot Coating: 1.8 bar). OptiSpray DPP01 - shutdown The OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump is switched off by pressing the Mains Switch on the rear side and the Power status LED on the front side expires.
The keyboard lock will be activated/deactivated. Test program for error diagnosis The OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump has an internal test program, which simplifies the error diagnosis. The test mode will be activated by pressing both keys, when switching on the device.
Maintenance of the OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump The OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump is designed in such a way, that only a minimum maintenance is required. Daily maintenance Clean the dense phase pump with a dry cloth and check the connection points of the powder hoses.
V 03/13 Maintenance set The wearing parts to be replaced during the OptiSpray DPP01 Dense phase pump maintenance, are available in two maintenance sets (see the spare parts list). One set contains 2 filter elements, the other set con- tains 8 pinch valves.
