This document contains information that all operators should be aware of and understand before using the Inobox control module This information highlights situations that could result in serious damage and indicates the precautions that should be taken to avoid them. .
2. Introduction The Inobox is a control module designed to pilot the Inogun M spray gun or the Inogun A pro- jector. The function of the Inogun M spray gun or the Inogun A projector is to project the elec- trically charged powder by means of a high voltage unit integrated in the barrel which delivers up to 100kV and 110 μA.

8. High voltage 8.1. Characteristics of spray gun output voltage and current The Inobox module has a voltage and current mapping control that limits the operation according to curve 1. Operator can set all the voltage / current value pairs that are including inside this curve 1.
There are two types of faults: • Resettable faults by fault acknowledgment. • Blocking faults that require a restart of the +24V DC supply of the Inobox module. Whatever the type of fault triggered, the regulation cuts off the high voltage and the powdering.
