1.3. Technical Safety Regulations for Stationary Electrostatic Powder Spraying Equipment
1.3.1. General Information
The powder spraying equipment of Sistem Teknik Makina (Electron) is designed for safe use and to the latest
technological specs. Electrostatic powder equipment could create dangerous situations unless it's used properly. In
addition to that, there might be a danger to life and limb of the user or third party, a danger of damage to the equip-
ment and other machinery that belongs to the user and hazards to the proper operation of equipment.
• The powder spraying equipment should only be started up and used once the operating instructions have been
carefully read. Apart from any usage from the user manual, there lies a danger of damaging the equipment and loss
of control of the equipment.
• Operational safety has to be observed before every start-up. Regular Servicing is the essence of working safely.
• Local legislation should be considered for the safety.
• The plug has to be disconnected before the machine is opened for repair.
• The plug and socket connections between spraying equipment should only be taken out when the power is off.
• The connection cables have to be installed in a manner that they wouldn't interfere or damage the normal machine
operation. Also the local legislation should be observed for the installation.
• Only original Electron spare parts should be used, because only the original products will guarantee the equipment's
explosion protection. Any damage caused by other used parts is not covered by the guarantee.
• If Electron powder coating equipment is going to be used with other devices/machinery from other manufacturers,
their safety regulations should be also considered.
• Be cautious while working in a powder/air mixture area. In the right concentration the mixture would be flammable,
thus smoking is forbidden in the entire plant area.
• Rule of thumb says that any person who uses a pacemaker should NEVER enter a high voltage area or places with
electromagnetic fields. Note that people with pacemakers ALSO SHOULDN'T work in powder spraying installations.
1.3.2. Consciously Working Safe
Every other individual who will be working for the assembly, start-up, operation, service and repair of powder
spraying equipment must have read and understood the operating instructions and the "Safety Regulations". Opera-
tors have to be appropriately trained via Sistem Teknik assembly personnel and made aware of the possible danger of
powder spraying equipment and the environment.
The E-ROBOT+3 Z must only be set up and used in zone 22. The spray guns are permitted in the zone 21 which is crea-
ted by them but only them.
Powder spraying equipment must only be used by trained and authorized personnel. This also applies for any kind of
modification to the electrical equipment, which only should be carried out by a specialist.
It is essential that the operating instructions are understood before any kind of work is done with the equipment. All
the procedures have to be done according to the instructions.
Powder spraying equipment can be turned off via the main power switch or the emergency shut down procedure.
1.3.3. Safety Regulations for the Operating Firm and/or Personnel
• First of all, anything which would influence the equipment negatively should be avoided for the technical safety.
• The machine user should be well informed about no other people than trained personnel would use the machine.

ronment by handling dangerous materials, as well as all preventive measures and workplace behaviors. This "docu-
ment" must be well written in an understandable form in the language that the person employed for the equipment.
• The operator is obliged to check the equipment for external damage once every shift changed at the very least. The
operation characteristic changes should also be reported.
• Users should conform the satisfactory working conditions else the equipment should not be used.
• The operating firm must ensure that the users wear protective clothing like facemasks and working suits.
• The firm also guarantees the cleanliness of the workplace and proper checks for the powder spraying equipment.
• Safety devices should be always on the equipment at all costs unless the equipment is going to be maintained or
cleaned. After the maintenance all the devices should be put on the equipment. The users must be trained well for
this purpose.
• Powder fluidization or high voltage spray gun checks have to be done when the equipment is switched on.
