4.3 INFORMATION ABOUT SAFE DISCHARGES

Nozzle

Electrode

Luminous discharge

Work piece
P_01698

With the high-voltage switched on, a luminous or corona discharge occurs at the electrode
tip; this can only be seen in the dark. This physical effect can be seen when the electrode
is brought near the grounded work piece. This luminous discharge does not involve any
ignition energy and has no effect on system handling. When the electrode approaches the
work piece, the control unit automatically reduces the high-voltage to a safe value. If you
touch plastic parts of the spray gun with your finger, harmless discharges may occur due to
the high-voltage field around the spray gun (so-called brush discharges). However, these
do not contain any ignition energy.

4.4 PROTECTIVE AND MONITORING EQUIPMENT

WARNING
Incorrect use!
Risk of injury and damage to the device.

Protective and monitoring equipment must not be removed,

modified or rendered unusable.
Regularly check for perfect functioning.
If defects are detected on protective and monitoring equipment,
the system must not be operated until these defects are
remedied.

To prevent electrostatic flashover, the union nut for securing the nozzles is designed in a
certain geometric shape.
This shape, together with the shape of the fan spray nozzle or deflector cone sleeve,
prevents the nozzles from coming loose unintentionally (see Chapters 8.3, 8.5, 8.8).
To ensure safety, only use genuine Wagner spare parts!

6.6 GROUNDING

DANGER
No Grounding!
Risk of explosion and risk of electric shock.

Electrostatic control units and the associated spray equipment

may only be connected to mains supplies with a protective
conductor connection (PE conductor)!

WARNING
Heavy powder mist if grounding is insufficient!
Danger of poisoning.
Insufficient paint application quality.

Ground all device components.

Ground the work pieces to be coated.

For safety reasons, the control unit must be properly grounded. The ground connection
to the energy supply (socket) takes the form of the mains connection cable's protective
conductor, while that to the work piece / system is via the knurled screw on the rear of the
control unit. Both connections are absolutely essential. If installed correctly as described
above, the spray gun is grounded via the gun cable between the control unit and spray
gun.

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,
very poor wrap-around,
uneven coating,
back spraying to the spray gun, i.e. contamination.

Prerequisites for perfect grounding and coating are:

14 DECLARATION OF WARRANTY AND CONFORMITY

14.1 IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING PRODUCT LIABILITY

As a result of an EC regulation effective from January 1, 1990, the manufacturer shall only
be liable for his product if all parts originate from him or are approved by him, and if the
devices are properly mounted, operated and maintained.
The manufacturer will not be held liable or will only be held partially liable if third-party
accessories or spare parts have been used.
With genuine WAGNER accessories and spare parts, you have the guarantee that all safety
regulations are complied with.

14.2 WARRANTY CLAIM

Full warranty is provided for this device:

We will at our discretion repair or replace free of charge all parts which within 24 months
in single-shift, 12 months in 2-shift or 6 months in 3-shift operation from date of receipt by
the purchaser are found to be wholly or substantially unusable due to causes prior to the
sale, in particular faulty design, defective materials or poor workmanship.
The type of warranty provided is such that the device or individual components of the
device are either replaced or repaired as we see fit. The resulting costs, in particular
shipping charges, road tolls, labor and material costs will be borne by us except where
these costs are increased due to the subsequent shipment of the device to a location other
than the address of the purchaser.
We do not provide warranty for damage that has been caused or contributed to for the
following reasons:
Unsuitable or improper use, faulty assembly or commissioning by the purchaser or a
third party, normal wear, negligent handling, defective maintenance, unsuitable coating
products, substitute products and the influence of chemical, electrochemical or electrical
agents, except when the damage is attributable to us.
Components that have not been manufactured by WAGNER are subject to the original
warranty of the manufacturer.
Replacement of a component does not extend the period of warranty of the device.
The device should be inspected immediately upon receipt. To avoid losing the warranty,
we or the supplier company are to be informed in writing about obvious faults within 14
days upon receipt of the device.
We reserve the right to have the warranty compliance met by a contracting company.
The services provided by this warranty are dependent on evidence being provided in the
form of an invoice or delivery note. If the examination discovers that no warranty claim
exists, the costs of repairs are charged to the purchaser.
It is clearly stipulated that this warranty claim does not represent any constraint on statutory
regulations or regulations agreed to contractually in our general terms and conditions.
