2 Using in Accordance with the Instructions
2 USING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 DEVICE TYPE
Electrostatic automatic spray gun for coating of grounded work pieces in automatic coating
systems.
2.2 TYPE OF USE
The GA 5000EAC electrostatic automatic spray gun is suitable for spraying liquid products,
particularly coating products. Coating products may be processed which contain
components of substances of explosion group IIA and IIB (maximum ignition energy 0.24
mJ).
WAGNER explicitly prohibits any other use!
The device may only be operated under the following conditions:
4 Use the device only to work with the materials recommended by WAGNER.
4 Do not deactivate safety fixtures.
4 Use only WAGNER original spare parts and accessories.
4 The operating personnel must be trained on the basis of this operating manual.
4 Follow the instructions in the operating manual.
2.3 FOR USE IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE AREAS
The GA 5000EAC electrostatic automatic spray gun is suitable for coating electrically
conductive objects with liquid coating products and can be used in potentially explosive
areas.
(See Explosion Protection Identification in chapter Explosion Protection Identification
[8 11].)
2.4 PROCESSIBLE WORKING MATERIALS
4 Coating products whose ingredients contain substances of explosion class IIA and IIB
(maximum ignition energy 0.24 mJ) can be processed with the GA 5000EAC spray gun.
4 The basic spray gun version is suitable for processing sprayed substances with an
electrical resistance of > 150 kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale). Equipped with a
special product hose for low-resistance sprayed substances (available as an accessory),
you can also successfully process sprayed substances with an electrical resistance > 50
kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale).
4 When processing metallic lacquers, it is advisable to use the spiral hose.
4 The application effectiveness is always dependant on the composition of the product
being used, e.g., pigments or resin.
Conversion of Paint Resistance
There are paint resistance measuring devices available on the market that do not directly
measure the specific paint resistance.
Multiplying the result of the measurement with the device-specific cell constant (K), we
obtain the specific resistance value of the product.
Example:
With WAGNER's paint resistance measuring device the cell constant is K 123.
