The DGIPRO-505 Digital Pressure Gauge is an intrinsically safe device designed for use with DV1 sprayguns, either as a retrofit kit for existing units or factory-installed. It is approved to ATEX regulations 2014/34/EU, with a protection level of II 2 G Ex ia IIC T4 Gb, making it suitable for use in hazardous zones 1 and 2.
The digital pressure gauge provides precise pressure readings for the DV1 spraygun, enhancing control and accuracy during spraying operations. It is powered by a long-life battery, offering an expected operational life of two years under normal shift working conditions, following a maximum two-year shelf life. The gauge displays pressure readings in 0.05 bar (0.7 psi) increments, starting from 0.2 bar (2.9 psi). This granular display allows operators to fine-tune the airflow to achieve the desired pressure value, which is adjusted via the air flow valve. The device is designed to be compatible with both water-based and solvent-based coating materials, offering versatility across various applications.
Before operation, users must ensure that all safety, operation, and maintenance information provided in the manual is read and understood. The device is intended for use with solvent and water-based materials. It is crucial to inspect the equipment daily for any worn or broken parts and to avoid operation if its condition is uncertain. The gauge should not be used with highly corrosive and/or abrasive materials.
The start-up sequence involves several steps to ensure proper operation. First, the spreader valve (10) should be turned anti-clockwise until fully wound out. Next, the air flow valve (12) at the bottom of the spraygun should be turned clockwise until fully wound in. Once the hose is connected, the air supply can be turned on. To open the air flow valve (12), it should be turned anti-clockwise, and the spraygun triggered (air only). The gauge will then display pressure readings, which can be adjusted by the flow valve to achieve the required pressure.
The gauge must be connected to a hose made from a conductive material and properly earthed with a resistance of less than 1MΩ. This minimizes the risk of static electricity from air and/or fluids passing through it, preventing potential fire, explosion, or electric shock hazards. Users should always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses with side shields, to prevent serious injury. A respirator is also recommended, and its type should be compatible with the material being sprayed.
It is imperative not to modify the equipment unless written approval from the manufacturer is obtained. Equipment misuse can lead to rupture, malfunction, or unexpected starts, resulting in serious injury. High pressure can cause severe injury, so all pressure must be relieved before servicing. Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into the body, causing extremely serious injury. Operators must be trained before operating finishing equipment.
The digital pressure gauge is designed for ease of maintenance, although certain restrictions apply. The battery is not replaceable, and the complete gauge assembly must be replaced once the battery is discharged. Under no circumstances should the gauge be dismantled or serviced by the user.
For cleaning, the gauge can be cleaned in a gun wash machine while attached to the spraygun. However, it is essential to consult the manufacturer of the gun wash machine to confirm its suitability with this product. To prevent premature degradation of parts, DeVilbiss recommends washing the digital gauge with a neutral cleaning solution (pH 6 to 8). The gauge is not designed to be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath. If there is any doubt about the suitability of a specific cleaning material, users should contact their DeVilbiss Distributor or DeVilbiss directly.
Regular inspection of the equipment is crucial. If the gauge is physically damaged, its use should be stopped immediately. Similarly, if the plating is damaged and exposes the base metal, the device should not be used in a hazardous (zoned) area. The product should not be used or stored below 0°C (32°F). Using non-original spare parts may create hazards, so only spares and accessories detailed in this bulletin should be used. Adherence to these maintenance guidelines ensures the longevity and safe operation of the DGIPRO-505 Digital Pressure Gauge.
