Improper or inadequate operation
and maintenance procedures will
cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of causing
fire or explosion is lost if any safety
interlocks are disabled during
operation. Frequent power supply
shutdown indicates a problem in
the system requiring correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment flushing should have flash
points equal to or higher than those of the coating
material.
Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100oF (37.8oC).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by any country or local safety codes. In
addition, ventilation must be maintained during
cleaning operations using flammable or combustible
solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
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 modifications may cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use only
during setup operations. Production should never be
done with safety interlocks disabled.

Halogenatedhydrocarbonsolvents,
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.
Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,
valves, etc. Check all other equipment items before
use and make sure they can also be used safely with
these solvents. 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 material supplier. Any other type of
solvent may be used with aluminum equipment.
Toxic SubstancesToxic Substances

Follow the requirements of the Material 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
concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by
an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be

Always turn power to the power supply OFF, unplug
the electrical cord from its outlet, and remove the front
panel fuse, before opening the power supply door. If
necessary, lock the power supply out so that it cannot
be turned ON until the work is finished.
Whenever removing high voltage cables from
equipment, ground the contact end of the cable by
holding the cable such that the contact touches earth
ground for several seconds. Do not touch the contact
until it has been grounded. This will reduce the
possibility of residual charge causing electrical shock.
TheHighVoltageMultiplierAssemblycontainsenergy
storage components that can cause serious shock
injury, and therefore is not field repairable. Warranty
will be voided if the High Voltage Multiplier seal is
broken. If the High Voltage Multiplier is defective
contactyour authorized ITW Ransburg representative
for exchange or repair.
The High Voltage Multiplier and high voltage cable
contain significant capacitance that will store charge.
Allow approximately 10 seconds for this charge to
bleed off before opening the cabinet door or removing
the high voltage cable from the power supply or spray
applicator.

Use of hand tools may cause
cumulative trauma disorders
(CTD's). CTD'sormusculoskeletal
disorders, involve damage to the
hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders,
neck and back. Carpal tunnel
syndrome and tendinitis (such as
tennis elbow or rotator cuff
syndrome)areexamplesofCTD's.
CTD's when using hand tools, tend
to affect the upper extremities.
Factors which may increase the
risk of developing a CTD include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such as
gripping, pinching or pressing
with the hands and fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger,
wrist or arm positions.
4. Excessive duration of the
activity.
5. Tool vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a
body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening the listed
hazards.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities as
sewing, golf, tennis and bowling, to name a few.
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm,
wrists, hands, or fingers, especially during the night,
may be early symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore
them. Should you experience any such symptoms,
see a physician immediately. Other early symptoms
may include vague discomfort in the hand, loss of
manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain in the arm.
Ignoring early symptoms and continued repetitive
use of the arm, wrist and hand can lead to serious
disability.

VECTOR AA90 PROCESSVECTOR AA90 PROCESS
VECTOR AA90 PROCESSVECTOR AA90 PROCESS
VECTOR AA90 PROCESS
This is a combined air/airless method for
electrostatically applying coatings to objects. The
Vector AA90Vector AA90
Vector AA90Vector AA90
Vector AA90
system applies a high voltage DC
charge to the applicator electrode, creating an
electrostatic field between the electrode and the
grounded target. The target is electrically grounded
through its support which may be either stationary
or moving.
A regulated high pressure fluid system delivers
coating material to the fluid nozzle and is atomized
by passing through an orifice under pressure. The
atomized spray particles become electrically
charged under the influence of the electrostatic
field surrounding the nozzle. The air supply to the
applicator aids in shaping the coating material into
a desired pattern. The charged particles are
attracted to and deposited on the target object.
The forces between the charged particles and the
grounded target are sufficient to turn most normal
overspray around and deposit it on the back
surface of the target. Therefore, a high percentage
of the coating is deposited on the target.
One of the many features of the Vector AA90
applicator system is that the electrical energy,
which is available from the resistive charging
electrode, is limited to the optimum level of safety
andefficiency. The system is incapable of releasing
sufficient electrical or thermal energy during normal
operating conditions to cause ignition of specific
hazardous materials in their most easily ignited
concentrations in air
.
The power supply provides voltage output to the
applicator and contains controls for AC on/off,
high voltage adjust, "one touch" triple setpoint, and
displays kV and μA in real time.

> When more than one waterborne
applicator is fed from a common isolated
fluid supply, there is a potential for electri-
cal energy discharge through any other
applicators when one applicator is trig-
gered. Depending upon the system
capacity, this discharge could be hazard-
ous. Install only one spray applicator per
isolated fluid supply system.

As the applicator electrode approaches ground,
the power supply and applicator circuitry cause
the high voltage to approach zero while the current
approaches its maximum value.
