GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Ransburg Spray Process
The Ransburg Spray Process is an air atomized method
for applying coatings to objects electrostatically. This
system applies a high voltage DC charge to the applicator

or moving.

to the atomizer. At the atomizer, air is applied that atomizes
the coating material forming a spray mist that, under the
inuence of the electrostatic eld, becomes electrically
charged. The charged particles are attracted to, and

turn most normal overspray around and deposit it on the
side and back surfaces of the target. Therefore, a high
percentage of the spray is deposited on the target.
9060 Power Supply
The 9060 Cascade Control Unit converts standard AC line
voltage to a high frequency, low voltage signal ranging
from 0 to 10 Vrms. This signal is supplied to an external
cascade through a low voltage cable. The external cascade
converts the low voltage signal into a high voltage. This high
voltage is transmitted through the cable to the applicator.
At the applicator an electrode in the applicator creates a
DChighvoltageeldthespraygoesthroughandpicksup
the electrostatic charge. When the material is directed to
a grounded target, more material is attracted to the target
yieldinghigherpaintingefciency.
The voltage/current characteristic is designed to optimize
the charging process under varying load conditions, and
to limit the operating current to a safe maximum value.
In addition to supplying low voltage output to the applicator,
the 9060 Cascade control unit also provides controls for
ACpowerON/OFF,precisehighvoltageadjustment,ahigh
voltage meter, a current meter, an AC power ON indicator,
a high voltage ON indicator, a cable fault indicator, and a
current overload indicator and reset switch. Additionally,
output terminals are provided for remote overload reset,
analog current output, and high voltage control. Interlock
connections for a conveyor and exhaust fan are also
provided. Acombination triple setpoint/analog input control
board is also supplied with 9060 Cascade control units
powering automatic spray applicators.
9060 Power Supply Kit 80143 and 80146
The9060PowerSupplyKit80143-XXXand80146-XXXare
designedtobeusedwitheithertheEsta-QuickApplicator
(AEMD 600) or the Evolver 560SE product (A13901). Both
useanoillledcascade.
The only combination of units that carry any
approval is the AEMD600 used with the 80143-
XXX units as described in this manual.Any other
combination of applicator and 9060 unit does
not have any agency approval associated with it.
When using equipment that is not approved, the
user needs to be aware of the code requirements
needed to operate safely. If there is any question
regarding safe installation requirements when using
thisproduct, refer to EuropeanNorms (EN 50176)
orNFPA-33.
