Gun Overview
Gun Overview
How the Electrostatic AA Spray Gun
Works
This is not an air spray gun. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, and splashing fluid, read and follow the
Skin Injection Hazard Warnings on page 5.
The air-assisted spray gun combines airless and air spraying concepts. The spray tip atomizes and shapes the fluid into a fan pattern, as does a conventional airless spray tip. Air from the air cap further atomizes the fluid and completes the atomization of the fluid tails to produce a uniform pattern.
As the gun is triggered, part of the regulated air operates the alternator turbine and the rest of the air helps atomize the fluid being sprayed. The alternator generates power, which is converted by the power cartridge to supply high voltage to the gun’s electrode.
The gun’s internal power supply provides high voltage. The fluid is electrostatically charged as it passes the electrode. The charged fluid is attracted to the grounded workpiece, wrapping around and evenly coating all surfaces.
The regulated air that is directed to the air cap can be further controlled using the gun’s atomizing air adjustment valve. This valve can be used to restrict air flow to the air cap while maintaining sufficient air flow to the alternator. The atomizing air adjustment valve does not control pattern width. To change pattern width, use a new tip size, or use the fan adjustment to narrow the pattern width.
The high working fluid pressure of this gun provides the power needed to atomize higher solids materials.
NOTE: For airless atomization, if desired, turn the gun’s atomizing air adjustment valve completely off.
Closing this valve does not affect alternator operation.
Spraying Waterborne Fluids
Electrostatically
This electrostatic air-assisted spray gun is designed to spray only waterborne fluids which meet the following flammability requirements:
• FM, FMc Approved:
Material does not sustain burning in accordance with the Standard Test Method for Sustained
Burning of Liquid Mixtures, ASTM D4206.
• CE-EN 50059 Compliant:
Materials which cannot be ignited, in any mixture with air, by an energy source of less than 500mJ.
When connected to a voltage isolation system, all of the fluid in the spray gun, fluid hose, and isolated fluid supply is charged to high voltage, which means that the system has more electrical energy than a solvent-based system. Therefore, only non-flammable fluids (as defined under
Models, page 3 ) can be sprayed with the system or
be used to clean, flush, or purge the system.
Precautions must be taken when using electrostatic waterborne equipment to avoid potential shock hazards. When the spray gun charges the isolated fluid to high voltage, it is similar to charging a capacitor or a battery. The system will store some of the energy while spraying and retain some of that energy after the spray gun is shut off. Do not touch the gun nozzle or come within 4 in. (102 mm) of the electrode until the stored energy is discharged.
The amount of time it takes to discharge the energy depends on the system design. Follow the
Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding Procedure, page 25
before approaching the front of the gun.
The Graco warranty and approvals are void if the electrostatic spray gun is connected to a non-Graco voltage isolation system or if the gun is operated above 60 kV.

• Operating Mode
• Diagnostic Mode
Operating Mode
Bar Graph
See Fig. 2, and Table 1 on page 11. The Operating
Mode displays gun data during normal spraying. The display uses a bar graph to show the voltage level in kiloVolts (kV) and the current level in microAmperes
(uA). The bar graph range is from 0 to 100% for each value.
If the uA bar graph LEDs are blue, the gun is ready to spray. If the LEDs are yellow or red, the current is too high. See
Electrical Troubleshooting, page 45
.
Hz Indicator
The Hz indicator functions the same as the ES indicator on standard guns. The indicator lights to show the alternator speed status, and has three colors:
• Green indicates the alternator speed is correct.
• If the indicator changes to amber after 1 second, increase the air pressure.
• If the indicator changes to red after 1 second, reduce the air pressure.

System Requirements
A Graco voltage isolation system must have the following features:
• An isolation enclosure that prevents persons from making contact with the high voltage components before the system voltage is discharged. All components of the isolation system that are charged to high voltage must be contained within the enclosure.
• A bleed resistor to drain off the system voltage when the spray gun is not in use. A metal part of the fluid supply unit must be electrically connected to the bleed resistor.
• A safety interlock that automatically discharges the system voltage when anyone opens the isolation enclosure.
NOTICE
The system should not have any severe arcing occurring when the isolation mechanism opens and closes. Severe arcing will shorten the life of the system components.
NOTE: The Graco warranty and approvals are void if the electrostatic spray gun is connected to a non-Graco voltage isolation system or if the gun is operated above 60 kV.
Install the System
Installing and servicing this equipment requires access to parts which may cause electric shock or other serious injury if work is not performed properly.
• Do not install or service this equipment unless you are trained and qualified.
• Be sure your installation complies with local, state, and national codes for the installation of electrical apparatus in a Class I, Div. I
Hazardous Location or Group II, Zone I
Explosive Atmosphere Location.
• Comply with all applicable local, state, and national fire, electrical, and other safety regulations.
Fig. 12 shows a typical electrostatic air-assisted spray system. It is not an actual system design.
For assistance in designing a system to suit your particular needs, contact your Graco distributor.
Ventilate the Spray Booth
Warning Sign
Mount warning signs in the spray area where they can easily be seen and read by all operators. An
English Warning Sign is provided with the gun.
Provide fresh air ventilation to reduce the risk of fire or explosion caused by the buildup of flammable or toxic vapors when spraying, flushing, or cleaning the gun. Do not operate the gun unless ventilation fans are operating.
Check and follow all local, state, and national codes regarding air exhaust velocity requirements.
High velocity air exhaust will decrease the operating efficiency of the electrostatic system. The minimum allowable air exhaust velocity is 60 linear ft/min (18.3
linear meters/minute).
3A2497A 15
Installation
Air Supply Line
1. See Fig. 12. Install an air line filter/water separator (M) on the main air supply line to ensure a dry, clean air supply to the gun. Dirt and moisture can ruin the appearance of your finished workpiece and can cause the gun to malfunction.
2. The WB3000 system includes a bleed-type air regulator (N) on the gun air supply line (P), to control air pressure to the gun.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or other serious injury, you must use the red-colored
Graco Electrically Conductive Air Hose for the gun air supply, and you must connect the hose ground wire to a true earth ground. Do not use the black or gray-colored Graco air hoses.
3. Connect the red-colored Graco Electrically
Conductive Air Hose (P) between the gun air regulator (N) and the gun’s air inlet. The gun air inlet fitting has a left-hand thread. Connect the air supply hose ground wire (Q) to a true earth ground.
Trapped air can cause the fluid supply unit to cycle unexpectedly, which can result in serious injury, including splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin. Do not operate the equipment without the bleed-type air valve (B) installed.
4. The WB3000 system includes a bleed-type air valve (B). The bleed-type air valve is required to shut off all air to the system and relieve air trapped between the valve and the fluid supply unit after the air regulator is shut off. Connect the main air supply line (A) to the bleed valve.
5. Install an additional bleed-type air valve (CC) upstream of the air filter (M) to isolate the filter for servicing.
Ground the Cabinet
Connect the main ground wire (V) to a true earth ground.
16 3A2497A
Installation
Connect the Waterborne Fluid Hose
Always use a Graco waterborne fluid hose between the voltage isolation system fluid outlet and the gun fluid inlet.
Before connecting the waterborne fluid hose to the gun, blow it out with air and flush with water to remove contaminants. Flush the gun before using it.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only one continuous Graco waterborne hose between the isolated fluid supply and the gun. Do not splice hoses together.
1. Remove the gun air inlet fitting (21).
2. Make sure the barrel fluid inlet is clean and dry.
Apply dielectric grease to the threads of the barrel connector (101a) and screw it into the fluid inlet.
3. Apply dielectric grease to the threads of the hose (101) and screw it into the barrel connector
(101a).
4. Align the bracket (B) holes with the air inlet and exhaust outlet. Secure with the air inlet fitting
(21).

Grounding
• Object being sprayed: keep the workpiece hangers clean and grounded at all times.
When operating the electrostatic gun, any ungrounded objects in the spray area (people, containers, tools, etc.) can become electrically charged. Improper grounding can result in static sparking, which can cause a fire, explosion, or electric shock. Ground all equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in or close to the spray area. Resistance must not exceed 100 ohms. Follow the grounding instructions below.
•
The following are minimum grounding requirements for a basic electrostatic waterborne system. Your system may include other equipment or objects which must be grounded. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions. Your system must be connected to a true earth ground.
Voltage Isolation System: Electrically connect the voltage isolation system to a true earth ground.
See
• All electrically conductive objects or devices in the spray area: must be properly grounded.
•
•
•
Fluid and waste containers: ground all fluid and waste containers in the spray area. Do not use pail liners unless they are conductive and grounded.
When flushing the spray gun, the container used to catch the excess fluid must be electrically conductive and grounded.
Air compressors: ground the equipment according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
All air lines must be properly grounded. Use only grounded hoses with a maximum of 100 feet (30.5
m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity.
• Electrostatic Air-Assisted Spray Gun: ground the gun by connecting the red-colored Graco
Grounded Air Hose to the gun, and connecting the air hose ground wire to a true earth ground. See
Check Gun Electrical Grounding, page 23 .
3A2497A 21
Gun Setup
• The floor of the spray area: must be electrically conductive and grounded. Do not cover the floor with cardboard or any non-conductive material which would interrupt grounding continuity.
• All persons entering the spray area: must wear shoes having conductive soles such as leather, or wear personal grounding straps. Do not wear shoes with non-conductive soles such as rubber or plastic. If gloves are necessary, wear the conductive gloves supplied with the gun. If non-Graco gloves are worn, cut off fingers or palm area of gloves to ensure your hand contacts the grounded gun handle.
• All solvent pails: use only approved, grounded metal containers, which are conductive. Do not use plastic containers. Only use non-flammable solvents. Do not store more than the quantity needed for one shift.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Installing and servicing this equipment requires access to parts which may cause an electric shock or other serious injury if the work is not performed properly. Do not install or service this equipment unless you are trained and qualified.
Follow the
Fluid Voltage Discharge and Grounding
before checking or servicing the system and whenever you are instructed to discharge the voltage.
To reduce the risk of a skin injection injury, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 26 ,
whenever you are instructed to relieve the pressure.
NOTE: Check all possible remedies in the
Troubleshooting Chart before disassembling the gun.
Voltage Loss Troubleshooting
Normal spraying voltage for a system using the waterborne gun is 40–50 kV. The system voltage is lower due to spraying current demands and voltage isolation system losses.
A loss of spraying voltage can be caused by a problem with the spray gun, fluid hose, or voltage isolation system, since all of the system components are electrically connected through the conductive, waterborne fluid.
Before troubleshooting or servicing the voltage isolation system itself, you need to determine which component in the system is most likely causing a problem. Possible causes include the following:
Spray Gun
• Fluid leakage
• Dielectric breakdown at the fluid hose connection or fluid packings
• Not enough air pressure for the alternator turbine
• Faulty power supply
• Excessive overspray on gun surfaces
• Fluid in the air passages
Waterborne Fluid Hose
• Dielectric failure of the hose (pin-hole leak in the inner layer)
• Air gap in the fluid column between the gun and the isolated fluid supply, causing a low voltage reading on the isolation system voltage meter.
Voltage Isolation System
• Fluid leakage
• Dirty interior
40 3A2497A
Troubleshooting
Visual Checks
First, check the system for any visible faults or errors to help isolate whether the spray gun, fluid hose or voltage isolation system has failed. A voltage probe and meter, part no. 245277, is helpful for diagnosing voltage problems and is required for some of the troubleshooting tests that follow.
1. Check that all of the air and fluid tubes and hoses are properly connected.
2. Check that the voltage isolation system valves and controls are properly set for operation.
3. Check that the interior of the isolated enclosure is clean.
4. Check that the spray gun and voltage isolation system have sufficient air pressure.
5. Check that the gun ES ON/OFF valve is in the
ON position and that the gun ES indicator light is on. If the ES indicator light is not on, remove the spray gun for service and complete the
6. Check that the voltage isolation system's enclosure door is closed and that any safety interlocks are engaged and working properly.
7. Make sure the voltage isolation system is in the “isolate” mode, where it is isolating the fluid voltage from ground.
8. To eliminate air gaps in the fluid column, spray enough fluid to purge the air out between the voltage isolation system and the spray gun. An air gap in the fluid hose can break the electrical continuity between the spray gun and the isolated fluid supply and cause a low voltage reading on a voltage meter connected to the isolated fluid supply.
9. Check the spray gun cover and barrel for accumulated overspray. Excessive overspray can create a conductive path back to the grounded gun handle. Install a new gun cover and clean the exterior of the gun.
10. Inspect the entire system for any visible fluid leakage and repair any fluid leaks that are found.
Pay special attention to the following areas:
• Packing area of the spray gun.
• Fluid hose: check for leakage or any bulges in the outer cover, which may indicate an internal leak.
• Internal voltage isolation system components
3A2497A 41
Troubleshooting
Tests
If you still have no voltage, separate the spray gun and hose from the voltage isolation system and check whether the gun and hose alone will hold voltage with the following test.
1. Flush the system with water and leave the lines filled with water.
2. Discharge the system voltage (see
Discharge and Grounding Procedure, page 25 ).
3. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 26
.
4. Disconnect the fluid hose from the voltage isolation system.
Avoid allowing any water to leak out of the fluid hose as that could cause a significant air gap in the fluid column up to the gun electrode, which can break the conductivity path and conceal a potential failure area.
5. Position the end of the hose as far as possible away from any grounded surface. The end of the hose must be at least 1 ft. (0.3 m) from any ground. Make sure that no one is within 3 ft. (0.9
m) of the end of the hose.
6. Turn the ES ON/OFF valve to ON and trigger the gun just enough to turn on the air to the gun but not the fluid. Measure the voltage at the gun electrode with a voltage probe and meter.
7. Discharge the system voltage by waiting 30 seconds and then touching the gun electrode with a grounded rod.
8. Check the meter reading:
• If the meter reading is 40 to 50 kV, the gun and fluid hose are okay, and the problem is in the voltage isolation system.
• If the meter reading is below 40 kV, the problem is in the gun or fluid hose.
9. Flush the fluid hose and gun with enough air to dry out the fluid passages.
10. Turn the ES ON/OFF valve to ON and trigger the gun. Measure the voltage at the gun electrode with a voltage probe and meter.
• If the meter reading is 40-50 kV, the gun power supply is okay, and there is probably a dielectric breakdown somewhere in the fluid hose or gun. Continue with step 11.
• If the meter reading is below 40 kV, do
Electrical Tests, page 36 , to check the gun
and power supply resistance. If those tests show the gun and power supply are okay, continue with step 11.
11. A dielectric breakdown is most likely in one of the following three areas. Repair or replace the component that is failing.
a. Fluid hose:
• Check for leakage or any bulges in the outer cover, which may indicate a pin-hole leak through the inner layer. Disconnect the fluid hose from the gun, and look for signs of fluid contamination on the outside of the inner portion of the fluid tube.
• Inspect the end of the hose connected to the voltage isolation system. Look for cuts or nicks.
b. Fluid needle:
Remove the fluid needle from the gun
(see
Fluid Needle Replacement, page 51
), and look for signs of fluid leakage or any blackened areas, which would indicate arcing is occurring along the packing rod.
c. Fluid hose connection to the spray gun:
A breakdown at the fluid hose connection joint would be caused by fluid leaking past the hose fittings. Remove the hose at the gun connection and look for signs of fluid leakage.
12. Before reassembling the gun, clean and dry the gun fluid inlet tube. Repack the inner spacer of the fluid packing rod with dielectric grease and reassemble the gun.
13. Reconnect the fluid hose.
14. Check the gun voltage with the voltage probe and meter before filling the gun with fluid.
