The PEA-T3 spray gun is used for industrial powder coating in automatic plants and can be
operated with individual control units or with control cabinet modules, which have a Tribo
current display.
The PEA-T3 Tribo manual spray gun is used for powders suitable for friction loading.
Caution
The user must ensure, that the PEA-T3 gun is only connected to Wagner equipment!
High ambient temperatures must be avoided; in particular, the hoses must not be
routed through factory areas exposed to direct sunlight!

1. Safety regulations
1.1 Safety hints
010101_ .doc
Warning
This equipment can be dangerous if it is not operated in accordance with this
operating manual!
There might be additional regulations to be observed, put into effect by
governmental, state or other official agencies or local security (fire)
departments!
Warning
Under no circumstance may persons with a cardiac pacemaker come close
to the area between the tip of the spray gun and the work piece to be
coated!
The following rules must be observed in order to ensure a safe and efficient use of the
equipment:
The user has to observe particularly the safety
guidelines of the VdS, the local professional and
security institutions.
Trained and qualified personnel may only
operate the electrostatic coating equipment.
The spray gun may only be operated in powder
coating booths or on powder coating stands that
are equipped with a ventilation system.
The user has to make sure, that the average
powder/air concentration does not exceed 50%
of the LEL (maximum allowed concentration of
powder in air). If a reliable LEL value is not
available, the average powder/air concentration
may not exceed 10 g/m³.
Over sprayed powder must be reliably collected.
Adhere to the instructions given by the
manufacturers and to the prevalent local laws on
the
environment when disposing of waste coating
powder.
The main power connection for operation of the
Wagner powder equipment must be electrically
interlocked with the exhaust system of the
powder coating booth.
In the event of faults or defects, repair work is to
be performed at the user's discretion.
The user must conduct periodic checks of the
powder spray equipment (at least every year)
with regard to explosion-protection.
Repairs may only be carried out by trained
technicians and may never be carried out in an
explosion hazardous area. Protective measures
against explosions must still be installed.
The work area must have an electrostatically
conductive floor (measured in accordance with
EN 1081).
All conductive parts in the work area must be
electrostatically grounded (work area = 1 m
around every spray location or opening in the
booth).
All persons inside the work area must wear
electrostatically conductive footwear.
Spray guns should be operated with bare hands!
If gloves are used they must be made of
conductive material.
Guideline 94/9/EG: The device is suited for the
applications it was designed for, even in
explosion-hazard areas.

Wear suitable work clothing
Use breathing protection or a vizard for work
which produces powder and when
developing solvent steams:
Avoid health dangers by inhalation and skin
contacts of solvent steams and lacquer
aerosols; Cornea injuries by splashes in the eye.
Check the equipment for damage
Before operating the system, check if slightly
damaged parts still function correctly. Check
whether the moving parts operate properly,
whether they jam and whether parts are
damaged.
Damaged parts should be repaired or
replaced by a Wagner customer service.
Warning
For your own safety, use only accessories and equipment listed in the
operating manual. The use of individual parts other than those
recommended in the operating manual may create a hazard to personal safety.
Use only original Wagner replacement parts!
Alteration or repair of Wagner original spare parts may cause fatal
accidents or explosions in the coating system!

Note that the installation dimensions Z(as described on page 2) changes when using finger
nozzles. The finger nozzle has a length of: Z1 = 315 mm.
The following result applies to the PEA-T3: Z= 340 - 46 + Z1 = 294 + 315 = 609 mm

2.2 Connecting the spray gun
Before you commence connecting the gun, switch off the powder feed. For information on this
activity refer to the related operating instructions for the control units and control modules.
Hint
Use the parts listed in chapter 9"Accessories" for connecting and fastening the spray
gun.
The spacing between the spray guns when fitted must be at least 300 mm.

Mount the spray gun on the hanger and secure both, for example on the gun holder of the
reciprocator. If an oscillator is being used, the spray gun must be fixed with a clamping
element (see accessories).
Connect the spray gun to the Tribo current measuring or display module with the electrical
cable E.
Connect the powder feed hose P to the spray gun.
Connect the hose for Tribo air Tand the hose for atomizing air A to the spray gun.
Hint
By using a Wagner PI-F1 powder injector and a suitable control unit, it is
possible to blow out or flush the spray gun automatically each time before it is switched
off.

2.3 Grounding
For safety reasons, the spray gun must be properly grounded. This occurs through the gun
mounting.
0203_ .doc
Good grounding of the work piece is also necessary for optimum powder coating.
A poorly grounded work piece causes:
dangerous electric charging of the work piece
back-spray onto spray gun and user
uneven coating
very bad wrap around
Warning
Sparks between conveyor, conveyor hooks (hangers) and work piece can occur
if electric contact points between conveyor, conveyor hooks (hangers) and
work piece are not sufficiently cleaned and therefore the work pieces are not
sufficiently grounded!
These sparks can cause heavy radio frequency interference.
