OPERATION Return To Contents OPERATION POWERING UP SETPOINT VOLTAGE CONTROL UNIT The Vector spray applicator system has three voltage set- points 1, 2, and 3. Each of these voltages can be individually When the AC power is turned on, the unit will display the PC adjusted between 20 and full kV using the + and - buttons board applicator type number on the kV setpoint display and on the front of the control unit.
OPERATION Return To Contents When a kV setpoint button is pressed, the light above the button will light and the kV display will show the present voltage for that setpoint. This indicates the unit is set to spray at that setpoint. To adjust the kV for the present setpoint, press the + or - setpoint adjust buttons.

OPERATION Return To Contents Front Panel Lockout 1. Turn AC power off and access the interior of the control unit. This feature locks out any changes to the kV setting from the front panel of the control unit. 2. Place the jumper across the two (2) pins at location 15 on the main PC board (see Figure 10).
OPERATION Return To Contents BASIC OPERATION Triggering High voltage is actuated by pulling the trigger to start the flow of atomizing and fan control air through the applicator. When the applicator is triggered, an air flow switch is ac- tivated, the kV setpoint is displayed on the kV display, the actual current draw on the µA display and the high voltage light illuminates.
OPERATION Return To Contents To reset this register, press the reset button while the hours are displayed. Pressing the preset 2 and reset buttons at the same time will show the number of hours on the non-re-settable register.
