Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,
triggering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents must never be used with aluminum
equipment during spraying, ushing, or cleaning.
Read the label or data sheet for the material you
intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a
coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact
your coating supplier. Any other type of solvent may
be used with aluminum equipment.
Halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents for example:
methylene chloride and
1,1,1,-Trichloroethane are not
chemically compatible with the
aluminum that might be used
in many system components.
The chemical reaction
caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can
become violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.

HV Controller - INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Ransburg MicroPak 2e (A13338-00), in conjunction
with an appropriate cascade is used to provide high
voltage for electrostatic application equipment. The
controller is packaged in a single package measuring 5.1”
tall X 8.5” wide X 6.5” deep (12.9cm tall x 21.6cm wide
x 16.5cm deep). The controller can operate in “Local”
and “Remote” conditions with either “Voltage Mode” or
“Current Mode” of high voltage control.
The Ransburg MicroPak 2e Controller uses a combination
of proven high voltage generation technology including
microprocessor-based control with diagnostic and
communication functions. It uses a variable voltage
output to drive a cascade that amplies the voltage to a
high value. It also uses both current and voltage feedback
information to maintain the desired set point. The
processor circuitry provides the maximum in applicator
transfer efciency, while maintaining the maximum safety
The MicroPak 2e also supports the use of Multifunction
I/O Controllers (MIO) to provide additional functions.
Currently two add-on controller versions are supported:
1) an Atomizer Controller and 2) a Discrete IO Interface.
MicroPak 2e Controller
SAFETY FEATURES
When used with the appropriate applicators and
cascades, the Ransburg MicroPak 2e Controller provides
the ultimate in operational safety. The protections include
Overvoltage, Overcurrent and Di/Dt or Dv/Dt which are
detailed in the Operating Parameters and Settings section
of this manual. The micro-processor circuits allow the use
of output load curve control, which limits the high voltage
output to safe levels when the controls are set responsibly
and safe distances are observed and followed.
DISPLAYS
The front panel displays the high voltage and current
output from the cascade as true readings. They are
derived from feedback signals in the low voltage cable
between the controller and the cascade.

PASSWORD PROTECTION
MicroPak 2e Controller parameters are password protected
with three levels, Cong, System and User to help prevent
unqualied operators from changing the values. The
password menu is composed of two screens. The rst
screen prompts the user to conrm they wish to enter the
required password, while the second screen accepts the
entry of the password digits. The three levels represent a
hierarchy with Cong at the top, System in the middle and
User at the bottom. This means that while a higher level
password is active, the user will not be required to enter
a lower level password if they change a parameter which

EN HV Controller - INTRODUCTION

Ethernet/IP parameters. This means that when switching
between Local and Remote modes, operating parameters
will typically change. Parameters which always change
are the ones passed as variables in the Ethernet/
IP Assemblies, e.g. KV Setpoint and Turbine Speed
Setpoint. Parameters which are set indirectly using the
Parameter Write function of the Assemblies, e.g Max
µA Limit, will use the Local Mode settings until they are
changed through the Ethernet/IP interface. Once one
of these parameters is changed using Ethernet/IP, the
MicroPak 2e will toggle between the Local and Remote
values at each mode change. This behavior will continue
until the next power cycle of the controller.
HV On / Off Switch
This is a return-to-center momentary toggle switch. It is
active only when the Local/Remote mode switch is set to
Local. It is used to enable and disable the High Voltage
output and to clear system faults. When the System Checks
and Current Status are OK, ipping the switch to the up
position (HV On) will enable High Voltage Output (see
“Figure 4 - Operator Interface” in this section). Flipping it
to the down position (HV Off) will disable the High Voltage
Output. If there is a system fault, ipping this switch to the
OFF position (also known as the Reset position) will reset
(clear) any faults currently detected by the system.
Atomizer On / Off Switch
This is a two position toggle switch. It is used to enable
and disable (i.e. start and stop) a congured atomizer
when in LOCAL mode. When the controller is in REMOTE
mode it is ignored.
LED’S
Power LED
If the Green Power LED is on, then the system power to
the controller is On.
HV Fault LED
The red HV Fault LED is lit when the system detects a
fault condition (see “Figure 4 - Operator Interface” in the
SWITCHES section). When operating in “Local Mode”,
it is cleared by ipping the HV On/Off switch to the OFF
(Reset) position. If the system is still in a fault condition, it
will immediately be lit as the system detects the fault.
SWITCHES
Power Switch
The rocker switch on the left and the LED directly above
it are for power On/Off selection and display. The green
LED is on when the power is On to the controller.
Local / Remote Switch
This is a two position toggle switch used to determine
if the Local (Front Panel) controls have priority or if the
Remote controls (Ethernet/IP Connection or Discrete
inputs) have priority. If the switch is up (Local Mode) the
Front Panel controls may change parameters, enable or
disable the high voltage, and clear faults. The Remote
Ethernet/IP connection may look at parameters and
values, but may not change them or enable/disable the
high voltage output. If the switch is down (Remote Mode)
the opposite is true except that the Front Panel switch
may be changed to local Mode at any time to disable the
Remote Controls and to enable the Local Controls.
Beginning with Software Version V1.1.00, when Ethernet/
IP is enabled the MicroPak 2e maintains Local Mode
parameters separate from the

NOTE
Power supplies connected to J4 and J11 must be
protected against excessive current and provide Over
Voltage protection.
The Ransburg MicroPak 2e Controller has a built
in resettable fuse in the controller power lead, so if the
controller logic draws a current in excess of 1.5 amps
it will open. Reset is achieved by turning controller
power OFF for 5 minutes then back ON.
The Ethernet connectors J7 and J10 use an
integrated Ethernet Switch to connect to the controller.
This allows the MicroPak 2e Controller to be networked
with the LAN of a Robot or PLC and still provide a
connection for a local networked display.
the ability to provide an ESTOP by inserting a suitable
switch or contactor in the J4 power leads. When separate
control of the cascade power is not required, power to J4
and J11 can be run from one DC power supply.

MicroPak 2e Grounding
1. The Power Supply must be referenced to true earth
ground at only one point, through the controller’s
chassis ground connection. (Refer to Figures 10, 11,
and 12 for Grounding Connections.)
2. Shields from the low voltage cable must be connected
to the chassis ground where the controller’s ground
connection is made, then by a 3/4” braid to the building
steel or ground grid if available.

3. The low voltage cable has a large amount of high
frequency noise on the shields and grounds from
being in proximity to the high voltage generator. Taking
these grounds directly to earth ground or a ground
grid through good high frequency conductors (braid)
keeps this high frequency noise from interfering with
the low voltage control circuitry.
4. The feedback signals for kV and μA are developed with
respect to the cascade ground signal (MULTIGND). If
the cascade ground were routed only to earth ground via
the above mentioned shields, the feedback conditioning
circuitry would have to depend on the panel ground or
power supply common to get a ground reference for
the feedback signals. This means the low level return
current for these signals would have to ow to earth
ground and back to the controller via factory ground
or power supply common. This adds large amounts of
noise to these low voltage signals. To combat these
effects, the controller PCB provides a connection for
MULTIGND which is separately routed to the CHGND
pin of J4. This is the single ground point for MULTIGND,
HVGND and logic GND to minimize noise on the
cascade feedback signals.
5. A great deal of testing under high voltage corona
conditions has conrmed that this cascade ground
should be connected directly at a single point to the
signal ground plane of the MicroPak 2e power supply
controller. This single point method maintains a “clean”
feedback signal while limiting the amount of high
frequency noise that is dumped onto the signal ground
and therefore other grounds in the overall system, such
as a PLC or robot.
