10OPERATING MANUALEDITION 05/2015 ORDER NUMBER DOC23191502.5 PROCESSIBLE WORKING MATERIALSLacquers containing solvents of explosion class II A can be processed with theGM 5000EAC spray gun.The spray gun basic version is suitable for processing sprayed substances with anelectrical resistance of > 150 kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale).Equipped with a special product hose for low-resistance sprayed substances (availableas an accessory), you can also successfully process sprayed substances with anelectrical resistance > 50 kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale).The application effectiveness is always dependant on the composition of the productbeing used, e.g., pigments or resin.Conversion of Paint ResistanceThere are paint resistance measuring devices available on the market that do not directlymeasure the specifi c paint resistance.Multiplying the result of the measurement with the device-specific cell constant (K), weobtain the specific resistance value of the product.Example:With WAGNER's paint resistance measuring device the cell constant is K =123.Measured value according to the WAGNER scaleSpecifi c resistance (RS)Note:Using sprayed substances with too low an electrical resistance, the application ofelectrostatics does not show any effect, i.e. there is no "paint wrap around" on the objectto be sprayed.The suitability of the spray product with regard to the charging ability can be read from theactual values for high-voltage (kV) and for the spray current (μA) shown in the illuminateddisplays either on the VM 5000 control unit or on the spray gun.High kV value, low μA value = okLow kV value, high μA value = excessive conductivity of the paintNo wrap-aroundPlease contact your local WAGNER dealer and the lacquer manufacturer if you encounterapplication problems.
