1.1. Marking
The Inobox control module is intended to be installed in category II (according to EN 61010-1).
This marking indicates that this control module is associated equipment that can be installed in
zone 22 and which contributes to the safe operation of the Inogun M or Inogun A equipment
installed in EXplosible ATmosphere connected to it. The operation of the equipment is stipulated
in the operating manual of the projector or spray gun.
The X sign behind the EU type examination certificate number indicates that:
•this equipment is subject to a special condition of use concerning the ambient tempera-
ture of use which must be between 0°C and 40°C.

1.2. Precautions for Use
This document contains information that all operators should be aware of and understand
before using the Inobox control module This information highlights situations that could result in
serious damage and indicates the precautions that should be taken to avoid them. .
WARNING : Before any use of the Inobox control module, check that all operators:
• have previously be trained by the compagny SAMES KREMLIN,or by their distributors
registered by them for this purpose.
• have read and understood the user manual and all rules for installation and operation, as
laid out below.
It is the responsibility of the operators’ workshop manager to ensure these two points and it is
also his responsibility to make sure that all operators have read and understood the user
manuals for any peripheral electrical equipment present in the powdering area.
1.3. Warnings
WARNING : This equipment can be dangerous if not used in compliance with the safety regulations.
WARNING : It is the customer’s responsibility to verify which local fire and safety standards are
applicable for use of the Inobox.
WARNING : This equipment may be hazardous if it is not used, disassembled and reassembled
in accordance with the rules indicated in this manual and in any applicable European Standard
or national safety regulations.
• The Inobox control module must not be installed outdoors.
• The ambient temperature around the Inobox control module must be no greater than
40°C.
• The Inobox module must not be altered from its original condition.
•OnlySAMES KREMLIN spare parts, or a repair performed by the SAMES KREMLIN
repair department, are able to ensure and guarantee the operational safety of the
Inobox module.
• Turn off the electrical power supply to the Inobox module before disconnecting the
connectors from the module.
• Any repairs on the Inocontroller module with the power supply still on can only be perfor-
med by personnel certified and trained for electrical repairs.

2. Introduction
The Inobox is a control module designed to pilot the Inogun M spray gun or the Inogun A pro-
jector. The function of the Inogun M spray gun or the Inogun A projector is to project the elec-
trically charged powder by means of a high voltage unit integrated in the barrel which delivers
up to 100kV and 110 μA.
The Inobox control module manages, by means of a microcontroller, the piloting of the high
voltage unit and three or four proportional solenoid valves depending on the version. In return,
a reading of the high voltage voltage and current is taken, as well as the flow or current of the
three or four proportional solenoid valves.
The Inobox is controlled manually via its display or by a PLC-type network in the case of a CAN
link.

4.3. Starting
• Connect the peripheral equipment (spray gun or projector, powder pump, PLC, vibrator,
etc.) (see § 4.2 page 12).
• Connect the air and fluid supplies(see § 4.1 page 11).
• Connect the mains plug to the control module (see § 4.2 page 12).
The control module can then be started by pressing the key
The control of the Inobox module is done through the different screens or with the help of a PLC
in the case of a CAN connection.
Remarks:
If the spray gun is not connected when the module is switched on, the control module will wait
(see start screen) until a piece of equipment is connected to it.
4.4. Functions available from the Inobox control module
The control module allows the display of the various operating parameters (voltage, current,
powder flow rate, etc.) and their settings by means of the various keys available on the front
panel of the module.

Index revision : A 14 7145
5. Use of the various menus of the Inobox control module
5.1. Start screens
When the module is switched on by pressing the key , one of the following three welcome
screens appears:
• The Inobox is connected to a Inogun M spray gun.
Then after a few seconds the Inobox automatically switches to the next screen.
• The Inobox is connected to a Inogun A projector.
Then after a few seconds the Inobox automatically switches to the next screen.

• The Inobox is not connected (neither to an Inogun A projector nor to a manual gun).
The module did not recognize the equipment to which it is connected (manual gun or auto-
matic projector) or that no equipment is connected.
It is therefore necessary:
1 Switch off the module
2Checkconnections.
3 Switch the module back on.
