SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating, maintaining or servicing any Carlisle Fluid
Technology MS Powder electrostatic coating system , read
and understand all of the technical and safety literature for
your MS Powder products. This manual contains information
that is important for you to know and understand. This
information relates to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this
information, we use the following symbols. Please pay
particular attention to these sections.

a situation that might cause serious injury if
instructions are not followed.
A CAUTION! states information that tells how to
prevent damage to equipment or how to avoid a
situation that might cause minor injury.
A NOTE is information relevant to the procedure
in progress.
While this manual lists standard specications and service
procedures, some minor deviations may be found between

turned off prior to cleaning, ushing or maintenance.
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA-33, EN 50177, EN 50050-2
OSHA, country, and local codes. In addition,
ventilation must be maintained during cleaning
operations using ammable or combustible
solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between the
parts being coated and the applicator. A distance of
1 inch for every 10KV of output voltage is required
at all times.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modications may cause re or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during setup operations. Production should

is not properly set. Frequent power supply
shutdown indicates a problem in the system which
requires correction.
Always turn the control panel power off prior to
ushing, cleaning, or working on spray system
equipment.
Before turning high voltage on, make sure no objects
are within the safe sparking distance.

Spray Area /
High Voltage
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
materials and cause a re
or explosion.
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,
EN 50177)
Operators must be grounded. Rubber soled
insulating shoes should not be worn. Grounding
straps on wrists or legs may be used to assure
adequate ground contact.
Operators must not be wearing or carrying any
ungrounded metal objects.
When using an electrostatic handgun, operators
must assure contact with the handle of the applicator
via conductive gloves or gloves with the palm section
cut out.
NOTE: REFER TO NFPA-33 EN 50177 OR
SPECIFIC COUNTRY SAFETY CODES
REGARDING PROPER OPERATOR
GROUNDING.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area,
with the exception of those objects required by the
process to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Grounded conductive ooring must be provided in
the spray area.
Always turn off the power supply prior to cleaning,
or working on powder system equipment.
Unless specically approved for use in hazardous
locations, all electrical equipment must be located
outside Class II, Division 1 or 2, zone 21 or zone
22 hazardous areas, in accordance with NFPA-33.
Do not touch the applicator electrode while it is
energized.

Equipment
Certain materials may be
harmful if inhaled, or if there is

Follow the requirements of the Safety Data Sheet
supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air
free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance
of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be
compatible with the material being sprayed and its
