9OPERATING MANUALEDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 23445002.5 PROCESSIBLE PRODUCTSWith the GM 5000EAC gun, paints can be applied which contain solvents ofexplosion class II A.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(available as an accessory) you can also successfully process sprayed substanceswith an electrical resistance > 50 kΩ (according to the WAGNER scale).The transfer efficiency is always dependant on the composition of the productbeing used, e.g. pigmentation 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 scaleSpecific resistance (RS)NoticeUsing 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 sprayed product with regard to the charging ability can be readfrom the indicators showing the actual values for the high-voltage (kV) and for the spraycurrent (μA) the actual values are shown either on the VM 5000 control unit or on thespray gun.high kV value, low μA value = ok.low kV value, high μA value = excessive conductivity of the paint-> no wrap-aroundIn the event of application problems, please contact your local WAGNER office and thepaint manufacturer.
