26PEM-X1OPERATING MANUALVERSION 03/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 23260206.6 GROUNDINGNo Grounding!Risk of explosion and risk of electric shock.Electrostatic control units and the associated spray equipmentmay only be connected to mains supplies with a protectiveconductor connection (PE conductor)!DANGERHeavy powder mist if grounding is insufficient!Danger of poisoning.Insufficient paint application quality.Ground all device components.Ground the work pieces to be coated.WARNINGFor safety reasons, the control unit must be properly grounded. The ground connectionto the energy supply (socket) takes the form of the mains connection cable's protectiveconductor, while that to the work piece / system is via the knurled screw on the rear of thecontrol unit. Both connections are absolutely essential. If installed correctly as describedabove, the spray gun is grounded via the gun cable between the control unit and spraygun.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:Clean work piece suspension.Grounding of spray booth, conveyor system and suspension on the building side inaccordance with the operating manuals or the manufacturer's information.Grounding of all conductive parts within the working area.The grounding resistance of the work piece may not exceed 1 MΩ (megohm).(Resistance to ground measured at 500 V or 1,000 V).
