2 General

2.1 Notes for the User

The safety precautions and safety standards of this section have been compiled for your safety and in your own interest. For safe operation it is necessary that the user reads and understands all of the technical and safety literature. The user must be familiar with the function of the installation und must be aware of the hazards and risks that may occur with pressurized pumps, hoses, and equipment.

2.2 General Safety Standards

- DO NOT move, operate, maintain or service the installation before reading and understanding this service manual. If you do have any doubt or problem, contact your superior or our representative.

- NEVER leave tools or other mechanical components in the installation if it is in operation or if it shall be started.

- NEVER exceed the maximum pressure of the installation. The maximum pressure of the installation is defined by the component with the lowest maximum pressure. You will find the maximum pressure of the installation at the type plate.

- When replacing components ALWAYS exercise care that the new parts comply with the technical data regarding material and maximum pressure.

- ALWAYS ensure that the spray area is properly ventilated according to legal requirements.

- The equipment must ONLY be operated by authorized and adequately trained personnel who have read and understood local codes, appropriate legal requirements and this service manual. The personnel must wear personal protection clothes and use appropriate tools during operation and maintenance.

- Before attempting any work AWAYS ensure the pressure is relieved from all air and fluid hoses. Shut off pressure air supply to the installation and relieve all pumps connected to the installation.

- Before attempting any work at the electrical cabinet ALWAYS ensure the board is current less. It is not sufficient that the main switch is in OFF position.

You must interrupt the complete current supply to the board.

- When working with high-pressure spray equipment ensure that the guns are

NEVER operated without protection against accidental contact. ALWAYS activate the safety-locking lever when not using the gun, in order to prevent from unintended opening.

- When finishing maintenance and repair works replace ALL protection covers that have been removed from movable parts.

Page 6 of 66 Feb. 13

- The use of other than genuine spare and accessory parts will void warranties.

- After a longer period of shutdown check ALL components for leakage and proper function.

2.3 Reaction Hazard

All fluid conducting parts of the installation are made of stainless steel in order to avoid possible chemical reaction. However, in individual cases a chemical reaction might occur if aggressive or chemically active materials are being used, which might lead to dissolution or, in the worst case, to an explosion. If you want to use such materials, contact the fluid manufacturer prior to operation in order to check the compatibility of the fluid with different kinds of stainless steel.

2.4 Fire and Explosion Hazard

High flow rates of non-conductive materials may lead to an electrostatic charging.

This phenomenon frequently appears with airless systems because the flow rate is very high and the material will be sheared and burst off at a small gap. In order to avoid charging and spark discharge, all components must be electrically connected with each other and grounded. Use suitable clamps and clean the contact parts of spray mist, if necessary. Connect the clamps via suitable cable with sufficient mass potential (permanently installed tubes etc.). If an electrostatic charging occurs, check for proper grounding.

2.5 Toxic Solvents

Toxic and harmful vapors may be set free by the spray and mist of paints and other materials. Follow all safety instructions of the manufacturer, keep to the relevant lower toxic limit values and maintain adequate ventilation.

2.6 Injection Hazard

- Never let any part of the body come in contact with the tip of the spray gun.

- Never aim high-pressure spray guns at any part of the body or at other persons under any circumstances.

- The spray stream of high-pressure spray equipment can puncture the skin and cause great harm. If such an incident occurs, in spite of all safety precautions, seek medical care immediately and inform the doctor about the penetrated material (see material data sheet).

2.7 Hazard by Escaping Liquids

Never modify the connections of the installation without prior contact with a responsible person.

Regularly check the condition of hoses and connections. Take care that hoses are not crushed and bent below the allowed radius.

Never overstrain hoses and connections by high mechanical load. Immediately replace damaged hoses!

Page 7 of 66 Feb. 13

Check all connections prior to operation.

Never try to stop or deflect leaking material with your hands or other parts of the body.

2.8 Emergency Shutdown

In case of an accident or a hazardous situation turn the main switch in OFF position.

This will set all components of the panel current less and will close all valves.

2.9 Residual Pressure

Even after interruption of the air supply to the pumps, the lines fed by the pumps are still not depressurized, as pressure can only be relived into one direction. In order to depressurize the complete installation, open the spray gun und the relevant valves via the control device (if no relief device is installed at the pumps).

Page 8 of 66 Feb. 13

3 Description of the System

3.1 Functional Characteristics

The system is designed to meter two or three volume flows, in which the main volume flow (generally the main component) will be opened and all other components (e.g. the hardener) will be regulated on basis of the metered first volume flow according to the mixture ratio of the chosen recipe. All parameters and tolerance values that are necessary for the calculations will be deposited in the system settings.

In order to guarantee highest possible safety, the function of the metering sensors will be controlled on the one hand, and on the other hand the installation will be shutdown if the demanded mixture ratio has not been achieved (e.g. insufficient material).

On the basis of the high precision of the mixing and the controlled and economic treatment with solvents and paint materials the electronic mixing and metering installations are clearly superior to the mechanical metering installations.

3.2 Mixing

The installation is designed to regulate and inject the B component (optional also C) into the running volume flow of side A. To obtain a good mixing result it is necessary to connect a static mixer to the outlet of the installation (not included in scope of delivery of basic installation). Care must be taken that the static mixer complies with the maximum pressure of the complete installation. The length of the mixer, the number of mix steps, and the diameter are depending on the used paint material, the mixture ratio and the maximum volume flow. It may be necessary to insert a downstream hose mixer (e.g. at very high flow rates).

3.3 Material Supply

Material supply will be made either by piston pumps, double diaphragm pumps, and mono diaphragm pumps, or by pressure tanks. Care must be taken that all components are operating in a similar pressure range. The combined operation with pressure tanks and high ratio piston pumps is not recommendable.

It must be ensured that that the components of side B

(eventually also side C) have a higher pressure, approximately 10%, than side A-, in order to be metered and added on.

For proper operation of the installation at least the following equipment is necessary:

- One fluid supply for side A

- One hardener supply for side B

- One flushing agent supply (according to paint system two off are possible)

- If necessary, one thinner supply (for 3C installation)

4 Installation

4.1 Transportation

The installation consists – depending on the design – of one or two modules, which can be transported separate from each other. The transportation will be done on pallets. For the handling two persons are needed.

4.2 Storage

If the installation shall be stored, the control part must be protected against heat and humidity. In order to avoid condensation of water the installation must not be exposed to high temperature changes, otherwise the installation must be exposed to the new ambient temperature with flaps open for several hours prior to operation.

The material component is extensively resistant against external influence, however, for a longer period of storage it should be filled with preservative oil in order to take care of the packings and to guarantee proper operation.

Operate the supply pumps according to the relevant service manuals of the pumps.

4.3 Installation

Generally the industrial installations of Finishing Brands will be installed by own service technicians or service technicians of our representative. This is to avoid faults at the very beginning caused by defective installation or operation.

If installation shall not be made by an Finishing Brands service technician, check the completeness and the correct function of all components of the scope of delivery.

For installation always take care of the usability of the installation, the ambient conditions (e.g. EEx explosion proof), and the safety of the operator.

WARNING: the control cabinet cannot be located in the EEx area. If operation in the

EEx area is necessary, a remote control panel is optionally available.

Page 10 of 66 Feb. 13

4.4 Electrical Connections

The installation will be supplied via a central electrical input at the control cabinet.

Pay attention to proper grounding of the necessary shock-proof plug. In the basic version the fluid cabinet (material component) and the electrical cabinet will be delivered separately. The connection of the two parts will be carried out according to the description under Pos. 10.2 (Connect Material Component and Electrical

Cabinet).

4.5 Pneumatic Connections

The installation (in standard version) will be supplied via a central air connection. The pressure must be at least 6 bar and must not exceed 8 bar! Please provide clean industrial air and proper filtration and condensate separator. Use oil-free pressure air.

4.6 Material Connections

The material component must be supplied with at least – depending on the number of components – one main color, one hardener and one flushing agent. The outlet of the static mixer must be connected to the gun/the guns with a suitable fluid hose

(please refer to length and nominal pressure).

The hoses must be equipped with adequate hose connections according to the installation. The threads must be in proper condition and must seal under pressurized condition.

Page 11 of 66 Feb. 13

5 Operation of the Installation

5.1 General

5.1.1 Turn on the Installation

Turn on the installation by turning the main switch into position „ON“. Only turn the installation on if the control cabinet is closed (high voltage). Opening of the control cabinet at ON condition must only be done by qualified personnel and a service technician.

Generally it is not necessary to turn off the installation. If the installation is in the main menu and has been cleaned, the screen will independently turn off after an adjustable period of time (see system settings, value „Standby“).

Do not turn off the installation in filled condition, control of the pot life will than no longer be possible, resulting in the danger of material hardening in the installation.

5.1.2 Input of Numbers

To set the different parameters it is necessary to be able to enter numbers.

Generally this will be done by the input field shown below:

The value to be set is shown at the upper part on the left side. The value will be deleted by pressing the „DEL“ key (one decimal place each per key depression). The value will be entered into the system by pressing the number fields and by pressing the field „ENT“.

The name of the value (here „recipe“, i.e. recipe number), is described below the value.

Page 12 of 66 Feb. 13

5.2 Main Menu

5.2.1 Select Recipe

By pressing the recipe number (here „1“) you are asked to enter a new recipe number. Possible inputs are all recipe numbers from 1 to 50.

Below the recipe number, the name of the recipe will be displayed. On the icon

„Flushing“, the number of the stored flushing program (1-10) for this recipe will be displayed.

If you have chosen a recipe number, which has been deposited in the recipe administration as an inactive one, the display with the recipe parameters will flash.

You cannot start this recipe.

5.2.2 Start Spraying Procedure -

Press the spray icon – The icon activates the mixing procedure, provided that an active recipe was chosen before.

5.2.3 Start Flushing Procedure -

Press the flushing icon - The icon will activate the flushing procedure. The flushing procedure may be repeated as often as you wish (for example if several spray guns are connected, which shall be cleaned one after the other). If the icon flashes, the

Page 13 of 66 Feb. 13

installation has not yet been cleaned after the last mixing procedure and the remaining pot life will still be counted down.

The pot life will only be reset to the start value after a COMPLETELY PERFORMED flushing procedure!

The flushing program that was activated during the last mixing procedure will be selected by default. Therefore, it is not important which flushing program number is displayed on the icon but which recipe was started and stopped last.

5.2.4 Adjust Settings -

This icon will lead you to the system settings. Here you can change for example recipes, operating parameters and safety settings. According to the setting the different sections may eventually only be entered via passwords.

Page 14 of 66 Feb. 13

5.3 Painting / Mixing

During the mixing procedure, four different displays can be selected. By using the arrow keys on the bottom of the screen, you can change between the displays.

5 6 7

[1] On top of the screen (on all displays), the set value of the mixture ratio and the selected valves will be displayed.

[2] Below, you can read the actual values. The measured value for each component is displayed in milliliters and in percent.

[3] At this position, you can read the total consumption. This is important for, e.g., the filling quantity of the system or the resetting of the pot life.

[4] Remaining pot life. The basic pot life will be stored in the recipe. If not enough material is extracted, the pot life will run towards 00:00:00 and will subsequently set off an alarm. If the alarm is not acknowledged in time (within 5 minutes), an automatic flushing procedure will be started. IMPORTANT: In order to reset the pot life automatically, double the amount of the paint filling quantity has to be extracted from the system in order to ensure a complete exchange of the material. Example: If the filling quantity is determined at 200 ml and stored on the system (system settings), the pot life will be reset to the initial value after the removal of 400 ml, respectively.

[5] Using the arrow key, will take you to the previous display.

[6] By pressing the „Stop“ key, the mixing procedure will be stopped.

[7] Using the arrow key will take you to the next display.

Page 15 of 66 Feb. 13

[1] „strokes now“ = the total number of strokes of the material valves in this recipe since the start of the mixing procedure. The main component stays at „0“ because the valve will only be opened at the start and closed at the end. The number of strokes per volume provides information about the quality of the dosing. Many small hardener injections result in a better mixing result than a few large injections.

[2] „strokes total“ = the total number of strokes since the installation. This can be helpful for the servicing of the valve. Based on experience gained during the operation of the system, you can draw conclusions on the actual condition of the wearing parts on the valve.

[1] Monitoring of the gun: The number on the display indicates the time in seconds during which the gun has been open, however, did not receive any impulses of the metering cell. As soon as the volume sensor is measuring a material flow, the value drops back to „0“. If the value increases up to the stored value for the monitoring of the gun, the system will set off an alarm. The monitoring of the gun is performed via a sensor in the atomizer air. For automatic guns, the monitoring is performed via a potential-free contact, which is closed by the higher-level SPS.

[2] Volume flow: The bar displays the output frequency of the volume sensor. It is proportionally to the measured volume flow.

[3] Valve status: When the valve is activated, „ON“ will be displayed on the screen, otherwise „OFF“. The main component is permanently open.

Page 16 of 66 Feb. 13

By means of this display, hardware errors can be detected easily. If, for example, the valve is „ON“ but the value of the gun monitoring is increasing steadily, then the cause will be that no material is flowing or the metering cell is blocked or the flow sensor for the atomizer air is set incorrectly.

[1] Tank size: The value displays the capacity size, indicated in liters, for this container.

[2] Minimum level: The programmed value displays from which tank level the alarm output will be switched on.

[3] Level indicator: The value displays the actual material quantity in the tank.

„No level control“: The tank has not been activated for tank monitoring.

Up to 8 tanks can be monitored with their own alarm output via the optionally available „Standard Level“ output module. By this means, for example, eight alarm lights can be activated individually in order to see immediately which tank has to be refilled.

Page 17 of 66 Feb. 13

5.4 Flushing

3 4 5 6

7 8 9 10

[1] Actual flushing step: A flushing procedure may consist of up to 20 different steps.

All flushing steps, for which values are deposited, will be run in numerical order.

[2] To skip one flushing step: If the actual flushing step shall be skipped, press the key and skip to the next flushing step, for which values are deposited.

[3] Valve number: The actually opened flushing valve is displayed.

[4] Flushing value: deposited set value of the flushing program, alternatively in „ml“ or in „sec“ (see [5]).

[5] Dimension: Displays whether the actual flushing step will be done in milliliters or in seconds. Fundamentally the cleaning of the installation in milliliters is process safer. However, a quantity collection is not sensible for steps, which cause an air / solvent flushing. Therefore, the dimension can be determined for each flushing step separately (see flushing programming).

[6] Dump valve: It is possible to deposit for each step in the flushing program, whether the signal „Dump Valve“ shall be activated. This signal can then be used to activate a gun cleaning box, or whether the cleaning shall be carried out via an external dump valve.

[7] Begin loop: If a loop was programmed in the flushing program, which in wraparound manner carries out certain steps for a certain number of repeat options, then the first flushing step of this loop can be displayed here.

Page 18 of 66 Feb. 13

[8] Last step of the loop described under [7].

[9] Number of loop running (see [7]).

[10] - This key will truncate the flushing procedure and will close all valves.

WARNING: If the flushing procedure will be truncated, the installation is still regarded to be filled. The pot life is, therefore, still running!

For the refilling and flushing of several guns, an output module is available. You can connect up to 4 dump valves or gun extractor units. If the system recognizes this module during the switch-on, the operator will be prompted during the start-up of the spraying process to enter the spray guns that should be activated. When the system will be flushed at a later stage, the entered flushing procedure will run once for every previously filled gun. During each run, another extractor unit will be activated in order to ensure that every gun is flushed properly.

Page 19 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5 Settings

In the Tool Menu all installation parameters can be set. All settings can influence the mixture result and should, therefore, only be carried out by trained personnel or by service technicians! There is also the possibility to protect all sub-menus by passwords and to inform only selected persons (see

„Codes“).

Page 20 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.1 Recipes

Press the recipe key in order to enter the recipe administration (if necessary enter security code):

Press the key for the recipe number, on top left, to select the recipe to be modified.

In the centre of the screen, you can choose any name for the recipe with up to 15 characters. This name will be displayed in the main menu under the recipe number.

This will make it easier for you to assign the recipes to the connected colors.

Use the chart, on top right: For the selected recipe a material valve can be allocated to each metering channel (A / B / C), and the material portion for the recipe can be determined. Please note that the volumetric mixture ratio will be entered. It is of no importance whether, for example, for„A“ 4 portions and for „B“ 1 portion are entered, or whether the mixture ratio will be entered as 100 : 25. During the mixing procedure the main component will automatically be determined by the greatest portion of the total mixture and permanently opened, while the other components will be metered on.

Only enter values under „C“, if the installation is equipped as 3C installation.

Ensure that the entered valve numbers are really connected to the relevant metering cells.

Adjust the pot life of the relevant mixture under t(min) (in minutes).

Page 21 of 66 Feb. 13

If an automatic pressure adjustment kit (optional) is connected to the installation, you can determine the fluid pressure under p(bar), which will be adjusted after filling.

Under Flush, enter the flushing program that should be assigned to this recipe. You can select one of the ten flushing programs that you set up earlier.

Under Active you can determine whether it is an active recipe that can be started immediately. You can release recipes to the operator or close them off. Inactive recipes will flash when they are selected in the main menu and cannot be used.

The icon with the crossed out disk rejects all modifications and loads down again all

50 recipes from the system memory.

The icon with the disk stores all modifications and will lead you back to the tool menu.

ATTENTION: During the cancelling or saving process, the control unit requires a few seconds either in order to write the data of 50 recipes to the EEprom or to read them on the EEprom. For this reason, do not try, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, to speed up this process by pressing especially hard on the display!

Page 22 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.2 Administration of Flushing

Press the flushing program key in order to enter the administration of flushing (if necessary enter security code):

[3] Valve number: Number of the flushing valve which shall be opened in this step.

[4] Flushing value: set point value of this step which must run so that the installation skips to the next step, alternatively in „ml“ or in „sec“ (see [5]).

[5] Dimension: Displays whether the actual flushing step will be done in milliliters or in seconds. Fundamentally the cleaning of the installation in milliliters is process safer. However, a quantity collection is not sensible for steps which cause an air / solvent flushing. Therefore, the dimension can be determined for each flushing step separately.

Page 23 of 66 Feb. 13

[6] Dump valve: It is possible to deposit for each step in the flushing program, whether the signal „Dump Valve“ shall be activated. The signal can then be used to activate a gun cleaning box, or whether the cleaning shall be carried out via an external dump valve.

5.5.3 Valves

Press the valve key in order to enter the manual control panel for the connected valves, signal outputs (optional), and pressure regulator (optional):

The keys 1 – 32 control the relevant valves. For security reason one fluid valve only can be opened at the same time. If you want to close all valves again, press the key

„Valves OFF“.

The keys „S1“ – „S8“ control the special signals (output board with 8 power outputs in

24VDC optionally available):

S1: Mixing OK

S2: Ready

S3: Flushing

S4: Filling

S5: Dump Valve

S6: Filled

S7: Alarm

S8: HiFlow

Press the key “Signals OFF” to turn off all outputs.

You can test the optionally available pressure adjustment kit with the analogue regulator. With „-„ you will reduce the value by 0,1 bar, with „+“ you will increase the value by 0,1 bar. With „Analogue OFF“ you will reset the value to 0,0 bar.

Page 25 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.4 System Settings

In system settings important and security relating settings for the operation of the installation can be entered. The correct setting of these parameters is of great importance to the finish result and the trouble free operation of the installation.

Filling Quantity: On the one hand the filling quantity is important for the external signal „Filling“ to which, for example, a signal light can be connected which indicates the operator that the filling procedure has not been finished. On the other hand the filling quantity is needed to control the pot life. After removal of twice

as much filling quantity the pot life will be reset to start value. Removal of twice as much filling quantity is necessary in order to prevent mixing of already reacting and fresh material in the installation and in the hoses.

Incremental Size: The incremental size is necessary to control the accurate mixing of the materials. The deposited value indicates the maximum interval between two hardener metering injections in milliliters. Important: this value has no influence on the quality of mixing! It only serves the control function. The installation itself tries to meter the hardener in smallest possible injections. The cycle frequency

Page 26 of 66 Feb. 13

of the valve depends on overpressure of the hardener, needle stroke of the metering valve, flow rate, viscosity and many others.

Generally the incremental size should be adjusted in such a way that mixing of the material in the mixer can just be carried out. An incremental size of 100 ml for a static mixer with filling volume of 20 ml may have the result that the material will not be mixed accurately, but that the installation still operates without error signal.

Metering Cell Control: The indicated value indicates how long the spray gun may be opened without the metering cell having to move. The control of the gun opening in manual installations is generally carried out by the air flow control integrated into the atomizing air. For automatic installations this signal can directly be given by an external control.

When the painter opens the gun, the material flow should start shortly afterwards and activate the gear wheels of the metering sensors. As long as a movement will be recognized and impulses of the metering cells to the control of the mixing installation are given, the control of the metering cells will be reset. If, however, a metering cell is blocked because of contamination, so that it cannot recognize a volume flow, the installation will give an alarm signal after the here deposited time.

The time should be in the range of 5-10 seconds in order to guarantee that no unmixed material can escape the gun. However, the time should not be chosen too short (less than 3 seconds) since the painter is using the gun sometimes to blow dust from the object.

Display Brightness: Enter the value for the relative display brightness in percent (0- 100%). Attention: If the value is too low you might not be able to read the displays and will then not be able to increase the value!

Standby Time: The standby time in seconds indicates after which time period the display turns off for longer service life of the lightning cathode. The installation only switches to standby mode if it is flushed and if it is in the main menu

(all valves closed).

If the installation is in standby mode it is sufficient to touch the screen to return into the main menu.

5.5.5 Calibrate / Adjust K- Factors

5.5.5.1 K- Manual Adjustment of K-Factors

For quick operation of the installation and for the general control of functions it is generally sufficient, to enter into the system the construction wise given K-factors of the volumeter. They are generally entered when the installation is supplied.

To take account of the different physical characteristics of the fluid to be metered, an own K-factor can be entered for each valve and for each connected fluid. At the same volumeter a highly viscose solvent based paint will cause another K-factor than a cleaning thinner or a water based paint.

Press the single number fields (1 – 32) to read the deposited value. If you wish to change this value (e.g. after retrofit to another volumeter), you can do this by pressing the number input icon. ( ).

5.5.5.2 K- Determine K-Factors

To increase the accuracy of the mixing installation it is recommendable to calibrate all fluids. Follow the steps hereafter:

1. Press the icon with the mixing cup ( )

Page 28 of 66 Feb. 13

2. Select the volumeter that shall be calibrated:

3. Select the valve with which shall be calibrated:

Page 29 of 66 Feb. 13

4. Carry out the metering:

- The bar on the left side indicates the flow rate. If the bar does not deflect upwards when removing material, you have either selected a valve which is not allocated to the selected volumeter, or the metering cell is mechanically blocked.

- The number on top right indicates the count of impulses. Open the spray gun at first and remove material. The count-up counter must now display an increasing value.

- With the „START / RESET“- key you can reset the count-up counter to Zero.

Press the key after having filled the system with material, wait for some seconds and start the actual metering.

- Remove a well readable quantity of material into a metering cup. Close the spray gun and wait for some seconds until the count-up counter has come to standstill.

- Finally press the „OK“- key. You will then be asked to enter the volume of the removed material.

- The resulting K-factor will be displayed and will then be entered into the system.

Page 30 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.6 Container Control

The integrated container control serves the control of the container level without additional sensory mechanism. If a container shall be controlled it is necessary to deposit into the menu its level prior to use.

Starting from the metered consumed material quantity the system can give an alarm signal if a defined minimum level is reached, in order to avoid no-load operation of the pumps with the result of defective mixtures and failures.

With the buttons [1] – [32] the container will be selected which shall be adjusted or controlled.

With the button [MAX LEVEL] the size of the container will be determined, which it had when delivered.

[ACTUAL CONTENT] displays the actual container level. Press the button to refill the container numerically or to enter any new level.

[MIN LEVEL] displays the minimum level. An alarm signal will be given if the level falls under this value. Press the button to adjust the level.

[ACTIVE] resp. [NOT ACTIVE] will display whether the control shall be activated. If the button is in [ACTIVE] mode, an alarm signal will be given. If the button is in [NOT

ACTIVE] mode, the container level will be calculated, but the minimum level will be ignored.

Page 31 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.7 Printer Configuration

[UNIT ID] displays the name of the mixing installation which appears on the prints. It is therefore possible to distinguish between the prints of different installations. The name can have up to 10 characters.

[PRINTING AFTER … ml] displays in which intervals process information shall be printed. In the above shown case a print would be started after every removal of one liter material.

[PRINTING AFTER … sec] displays the intervals during the mixing procedure when prints shall be printed.

It is possible to activate the two print variants, but also only one or none of them. If you do not wish to have prints made, set the values to „0“.

Set the following parameters on the printer interface that is provided as standard

(serial):

Baud: 9600 (8 bit / no parity / 1 stop bit), no hardware handshake

Page 32 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.8 Reports

Use the keys [1] to [32] to select the valve, respectively the component where you wish to read the consumption.

[TOTAL] displays the total consumption of the component since installation of the system. It is not possible to reset this value.

[JOB] displays the consumption since the last reset of this value. It is, therefore, possible to collect the weekly consumption, for example. The operator can reset this value with the key [RESET JOB].

As well as at the count of total consumption, as at the job count the consumption of the component is listed and its VOC content. The relative VOC content in percent can be set in the VOC Menu (see 5.5.9).

Press the key [PRINT ALL] in order to print the consumption value of all components, as far as the optionally available printer is connected.

Page 33 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.9 V.O.C. Values

Press the keys [1] to [32] to select the valve, respectively the component where you wish to adjust the VOC value.

The VOC value (in %) will be displayed in the mid. Press the key [V.O.C.] to adjust the value for each valve separately. The value is needed in order to calculate for the consumption reports not only the consumption but also the VOC emission.

Page 34 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.10 Alarm Memory

The mixing installation stores up to 100 alarm messages in sequence of appearance.

You can scroll through the alarm history with the keys [ß] and [à]. If more than 100 errors were collected, the last 100 messages are still available.

Each alarm message is listed with date and time as well as with the reason for the alarm.

The significance of the alarm icons you will find in the Chapter „Alarm Messages“.

Page 35 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.11 Security Codes

When delivered all menus are accessible without code input. (Input „0“). After installation and initial operation all security relating settings should be secured against unauthorized access.

The setting of the passwords will be done in the same manner as an eventually later necessary adjustment of the codes.

To set a code you press the above shown key icon. You will be asked to enter the

“master code” which for reasons of security is not part of this documentation. It will be sent separately to you from Finishing Brands / Binks. After input of the code you press the field the menu of which you want to secure with a new password. You will see the input picture „new code“. Enter here your new secret number. The code will automatically be stored.

If you should forget or mislay your access code you can also use this procedure in order to find out the deposited code. But carefully keep the master code because it is an unchangeable part of the software of the control.

Page 36 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.12 Time

Press the key [SET CLOCK] in order to set the internal clock of the installation. The clock has a movement reserve of approximately 10-14 days. The clock is necessary to print reports and for storing alarm messages.

To change values you press the keys [+] / [-]. To store the modifications you press the key [OK].

Page 37 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.13 PLC Update (Software- Update)

The PLC should receive new updates in exceptional cases only, and only by authorized and qualified personnel. However, should you press this key, the installation switches into the so called „HOST Mode“, in which it is ready to receive new software. You can only return from this mode to the normal operating mode by turning off the power supply or by pressing the “Reset” key on the PLC main board.

5.5.14 Display Update (Software- Update)

The display, too, should receive new updates in exceptional cases only, and only by authorized and qualified personnel. However, should you press this key, PLC switches into the receive mode for new display software which in turn will be transferred to the display by PLC. The display signals „Waiting for data“.

You can only return from this mode to the normal operating mode by turning off the power supply or by pressing the “Reset” key on the PLC main board.

Page 38 of 66 Feb. 13

5.5.15 Optional Software (Only Available for Additional Hardware Options)

5.5.15.1 Control Flushing Pockets

If the option for the control of up to four flushing pockets for handguns is connected to the system, the following screen will appear after pressing the “Spray” key:

The guns 1 to 4 can be activated or deactivated individually (on = active / off = inactive).

The filling process will then be performed one after the other for via the corresponding flushing pocket for each activated gun.

When changing paints or flushing the system, only the guns that were active during the last spraying process will be cleaned one after the other. The defined flushing process will then run exactly once for each gun.

This mask will only be called up if the flushing process is started via the display. If the mixing process is called up via a remote control or a robot communication module, the last selected gun combination will be automatically applied again.

Page 39 of 66 Feb. 13

6 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning and Maintenance of the Material Component

Protect the material component from spray mist. If it is necessary to clean the area with thinner, the power of the installation must be turned off because the metering sensors of the standard version are not EEx-proof.

Generally the installation must be cleaned by a complete flushing procedure after end of operation or during a longer spray interval to avoid hardening of the paint material in the installation.

à See 5.2.3 Start Flushing Procedure

6.1.1 Cleaning of Hoses and Tubes

If the flushing procedures have been carried out properly, a special cleaning of hoses and tubes is not necessary. However, if reactions occur inside the system, replacement is recommendable in order to avoid solid parts coming off and entering into the system gradually.

6.1.2 Maintenance of Valves

If a color change valve has not been used for a longer period it is recommendable to disassemble the color supply unit and to flush the valve, otherwise solid parts might settle inside the valve.

If the valves do not operate properly or if air or fluid leaks occur, the seals must be replaced. Since the hardener valves are activated more frequently, a regular control of the valves is absolutely necessary. It is recommendable to service the valves in regular intervals.

You will find further details in Annex 10.5.

6.1.3 Maintenance of Metering Cells

Generally our metering cells are maintenance-free. If it should be necessary to clean blocked metering cells, please note:

Metering cells have to be treated according to the instructions of the manufacturer,

Annex (10.4).

The accuracy of the metering cells must be controlled in regular intervals (calibration), because the use of abrasive or pigmented fluids will lead to wear which influences the accuracy of the gear wheels.

6.2 Cleaning of Control Module

The control module must only be cleaned with a soft cleaning agent. There are no internal components or assembly groups which need cleaning or maintenance.

Page 40 of 66 Feb. 13

Cleaning of the touch-screen-display with solvents is not allowed. If you expect high grade contamination of the display there are slightly self-sticking transparent protection foils available which can easily be exchanged.

1. Connect the air outlet of the electrical control cabinet with the air inlet of the fluid cabinet (10 mm air hose).

2. Connect the metering cell cables (yellow) as follows:

Main color:

- black and brown lead onto +24V of the CNTO- insert card

- blue and silver lead (sheath) onto GND of the CNTO- insert card

- white lead onto CNT + of the CNTO- insert card

- connect also CNT- with GND via a cable jumper on the CNTO- insert card

Hardener:

- black and brown lead onto +24V of the CNT1- insert card

- blue and silver lead (sheath) onto GND of the CNT1- insert card

- white lead onto CNT+ of the CNT1- insert card

- connect also CNT- with GND via a cable jumper on the CNT1- insert card

3. Connect the control cable of the solenoid valve island as follows:

The solenoid valve island has a 25 channel cable (orange). The green/back lead builds the +24VDC reference connection, all other cables will be connected to the digital output cards of "Magic Flow".

The output cards have 10 connecting terminals:

GND ; 24V ; DO.O ; DO.1 ; DO.2 ; DO.3 DOA ; DO.5 ; DO.6 ; DO.7

Attention: GND will not be wired!

Frequently asked questions

Turn on the installation by turning the main switch into position "ON". Only turn the installation on if the control cabinet is closed (high voltage).

The pot life setting determines the time the mixed material remains usable before it starts to react and harden. It is important to consider the pot life when adjusting the filling quantity and for automatic flushing procedures.

A recipe defines the mixture ratio and other parameters for a specific paint, while a flushing program outlines the steps for cleaning the system after using a specific recipe, ensuring efficient cleaning and preventing contamination.

The container control monitors the level of material in the container. When the minimum level is reached, an alarm signal is activated to reduce the risk of operating the pumps without material.

Calibrating the K-factors ensures more accurate mixing of the materials by taking into account the different physical characteristics of the fluids being metered.
