Equipment
There is a high voltage device
that can induce an electrical
chargeonungroundedobjects
whichiscapableofigniting
coating materials.
Inadequategroundingwill
cause a spark hazard. A
spark can ignite many coating

Parts being sprayed and operators in the spray
area must be properly grounded.
Parts being sprayed must be supported on
conveyors or hangers that are properly grounded.
Theresistancebetweenthepartandearthground
mustnotexceed1MegOhm.(RefertoNFPA33,

Operators must be grounded. Rubber soled
insulatingshoesshouldnotbeworn.Grounding
strapsonwristsorlegsmaybeusedtoassure

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RansFlexisanairatomizingapplicatorpoweredonly
byapressurizedairsource. Pressurizedaircreatesrotation
ofaturbinegeneratorthatpowersacascade.Thecascade
generatesahighvoltageDCchargetotheelectrodecreating
anelectrostaticeldbetweentheatomizerandthetarget.
OneofthemanyfeaturesoftheRansFlexapplicatorsystem
is that the electrical energy, which is available from the
resistivechargingelectrode,islimitedtotheoptimumlevel
ofsafetyandefciency.Thesystemisincapableofreleasing
sufcientelectricalorthermalenergyduringnormaloperating
conditionstocauseignitionofspecichazardousmaterials
in their most easily ignited concentrations in air.
Astheapplicatorelectrodeapproachesground,applicator

Fluid Hose Recommendation
Ransburg recommends using a 7994-XX Fluid Hose
Assembly. This assembly is made to specically t the
uidttingsizeengineeredintotheapplicator.Thishose
is available from your authorized Ransburg distributor.
Available hose lengths are listed in "Accessories" in the
"PartsIdentication"sectionofthismanual.
Filters
1. Installanairlterassemblyontheoutletofthe main air
regulator.Theltershouldbe5micronwithamaximum
working pressure of at least 100 psig (6.9 bar).  For
Class3airquality,whichisa5micronsizeandhasa
dewpointof-4°F(-20°C),therelativehumidity(RH)of
the air should be 5%.
2. Ransburgrecommendsthatauidlterbeinstalledatthe
outputoftheuidsupply(pressurepot,pump,circulating
system,etc.).Itistheenduser'sresponsibilitytoinstall
theproperlterthatmeetstheirsystem'srequirements.
