Description See Figure 1. This manual covers the MEG II reduced cavity and extended spray guns with 10 ft (304 cm) cables. These guns are high-speed airless spray guns used to apply water- and solvent-based coatings to the interior surfaces of metal cans.
Mounting See Figure 2. Mount the MEG II gun on the mounting plate, using the two holes in the manifold base. • If you are replacing an A10A, A14A, or A20A spray gun, remove it and use the two socket head screws (2) shipped with the MEG II gun to secure it to the existing mounting plate.
3. If using the MEG II gun with solvent-based coating materials, install the fuse holder and 1 amp fuse shipped with the spray gun on the terminal block and connect one of the black coil wires to the fuse holder.
CO-Plate When the MEG II gun is installed as part of a iTrax spray monitor system, install a CO- plate in the gun manifold to produce a controlled pressure drop when the gun is spraying. Refer to the CO-Plate Selection Chart on page 32 for CO-plate ordering information.
This equipment can be dangerous unless it is used in accordance with the rules laid down in the manual. Operation of the MEG II gun is dependent upon the timer with which it is used. Refer to your timer manual for operation procedures.
Use the Body with Coil 1. Applicator fails to Service Kit listed on page 25 or the MEG II Reduced Cavity trigger Module Service Kit listed on page 24 to replace the coil.
1. Make sure all pressure is relieved and electrical power is removed from the system. 2. Remove the MEG II gun from the spray machine. 3. Loosen the set screw (13) and the gun module nut (12). Carefully pull the gun module (6) out of the gun.
A dash (—) is used when the part number applies to all parts in the illustration. The number in the Part column is the Nordson Corporation part number. A series of dashes in this column (- - - - - -) means the part cannot be ordered separately.

Description The 0−1000 psi (0−68.9 bar) pressure transducer and amplifier assembly measures the internal hydraulic pressure in a MEG II spray gun manifold and converts it to an electrical output to an iTRAX Spray Monitor. The electrical output is directly proportional to the hydraulic pressure measured by the pressure transducer.
