MULMULTI-FUNCTIONTI-FUNCTION
ELECTROSTELECTROSTAATIC METERTIC METER
The ITW Ransburg Multi-Function Electrostatic
Spray Meter uses one meter to serve multi
functions in electrostatic spray finishing. The
meter can be used to measure conductivity,
paint resistance, short circuit current, resis-
tance, and high voltage. The meter is available
in individual kits focused on each function or a
deluxe kit, which includes accessories to per-
form all the functions listed above.
The ITW Ransburg Multi-Function Electrostatic
Spray Meter is powered by a single 9V alkaline
battery. The solid state circuitry only requires
9V input to power the meter display and condi-
tion all the signals from the accessory items.

MEASUREMENT KITMEASUREMENT KIT
SprayabilitySprayability
The sprayability meter measures whether mate-
rials normally considered being electrically non-
conductive could be electrostatically sprayed or
whether they need to be treated with solutions
to make the surface conductive. The meter
measures the surface resistance and indicates
the degree of sprayability in MΩor GΩ. The
target being sprayed must be low enough in re-
sistance to dissipate the electrostatic charge.
In some cases the internal resistance of a target
is lower than the surface resistance. This might
allow a target that does not have a suitable sur-
face resistance reading to be coated electro-
statically without additional surface preparation.
An example of this is certain types of wood
which on the surface are not conductive but due
to moisture content (12%-13%) may be
sprayable.
Since many non-conductive products must be
pre-treated with a conductive solution to make
them sprayable, the ITW Ransburg Multi-Func-
tion Electrostatic Spray Meter is useful to moni-
tor and maintain consistency in that application,
once a suitable reading is determined.

OperationOperation
1. Set the meter dial to the MΩor GΩ
scale (see Figure 2). Check the meter calibra-
tion by touching the metallic end of the (2)
probes on the meter to the stripped bare ends of
a single 12" long wire (see Figure 2). (If desired
the continuity of the wire may be verified by us-
ing a Volt-Ohm meter). If the meter reads zero,
the meter is in calibration. If it does not read
zero, verify the continuity of the wire and re-per-
form the check. If the meter still does not read
zero, consult the factory for repair of the meter.
2. With the metallic part of the meter
probes pressed firmly and perpendicular against
the surface of the article to be tested, the meter
automatically reads the resistance of the part.
Table 1 lists the readings from an 8333-00
meter and compares it to the readings of the

The Ransburg Multi-Function Meter may be

kΩ, MΩor GΩ. Applications for the meter
range from measuring the resistance of a
70430-00 resistor to measuring the resistance
of a target to ground.

When using the Multi-Function Meter test leads
to measure resistance or current, ensure that
the sprayability probes do not come into contact
with any surface or the meter readings may be
altered.

OperationOperation
1. Set the meter dial to the MΩ scale (see
Figure 3). Plug the probe with (2) alligator
clamp leads into the side of the meter. Check
the meter calibration by touching the metallic
ends of the (2) probes together. If the meter
reads zero, the meter is in calibration. If it does
not read zero, verify the continuity of the probe
assembly and re-perform the check. If the
meter still does not read zero, consult the fac-
tory for repair of the meter.
2. For ground checks, attach one alligator
clip to a clean, non-treated surface of the target
to be sprayed. Attach the other alligator clip to
a known true earth ground. Set the dial to the
MΩscale. Read the resistance. If the resis-
tance is greater than 1.0 MΩthe part is not ad-
equately grounded (reference NFPA 77, NFPA
33).
3. For resistance checks, set the meter to
MΩscale (see Figure 4). Attach one alligator
clip to the electrode wire of a 70430-00 screwed
onto an 18865 needle shaft (or similar compo-
nent). Attach the other lead to the shaft of the
18865-needle shaft (or other end of a similar
component). The electrode reading should be
approximately 14.5 MΩto 19MΩ.

The Ransburg Paint Resistance measurement
kit using the multi-function meter is designed to
provide measurement of the electrical resis-
tance of paint formulations for all electrostatic
applications. Once the resistance of a paint is
determined and found to spray successfully,
measuring resistivity with this meter provides a
way to duplicate conditions. This is extremely
important when troubleshooting problems with
spray or rotational applicators. This meter has

3. If measuring the voltage on an electro-
static gun, line up the hole in the test probe and
the electrode. Slide the test probe straight over
the electrode wire of the gun. Be sure to push
the test probe tight against the nozzle to mini-
mize any voltage that may leak into the air dur-
ing the test.
NOTENOTE
Make sure all grounded objects are at least 2
feet away.
4. Holding the metal part of the high voltage
probe in your hand, trigger the gun so voltage
exists at the electrode.
5. Read the voltage displayed on the
meter.
6. Turn the voltage to the gun OFF, and
pull the test probe straight off the electrode.

1. Keep the test probe and the HV cables
clean to prevent contamination of the probe
sockets. Clean only with non-polar solvents.
2. Inspect the ground cable, its clamp and
connections for breaks or poor connections.
3. Do not bend or stress the white kV
probe assembly, as this may break the potted
high voltage resistor.

Battery ReplacementBattery Replacement
When required the battery will need to be re-
placed. It may be purchased locally and is a
standard alkaline type 9V battery. To replace
the battery, perform the following steps (refer to
Figure9).
1. Remove the sliding back cover of the
meter.
2. Remove the existing battery from the (2)
prong 9V connector.
9. Read the applicator high voltage
displayed on the meter.

CalibrationCalibration
The 76634-00 Multi-Function Meter is not field
repairable. The meter should be returned to the
factory for repair or recalibration.
ITW Ransburg recommends that the Multi-
Function Meter and its associated equipment
(Paint probe, kV Probe, and/or Test Leads) be
sent in together for recalibration at least once
per year.
NOTENOTE
For best recalibration results the Multi-Function
Meter and accessories (Paint Probe, kV Probe,
and/or Test Leads) should be sent in together
forrecalibration.
When shipped from the factory, and after each
calibration,the Multi-Function Meterwill be
sealed with a calibration sticker noting the next
date when calibration expires. Removal of this
seal will void calibration of the unit. A certificate
of calibration will also be shipped with each cali-
bratedunit.
3. Replace with new alkaline 9V battery.
4. Replace back cover.
5. Appropriately discard used battery.
NOTENOTE
The screen will go blank when the battery
needs to be replaced.
