Questions and Answers

    What to do if I see a COLOR/CATALYST FILL ALARM on my Graco Control Unit?
    • E
      Elizabeth RobinsonSep 14, 2025
      If the system detects no meter pulses, or the system must detect at least 10cc of material from each side throughout the Color/Catalyst fill time duration, check that meter cable is connected and clean or repair meter. Also, make sure that the gun, dump valve, or correct color/catalyst valve is open, and check fluid level and refill if necessary if the fluid supply is exhausted. Verify that color change board switches are set correctly if switch settings (S3-S6) on color change board do not match hardware configuration. Verify condition of fuses and replace if necessary if Fuse F1, F2, or both are blown.

    What should I do if my Graco Control Unit displays E-13 HIGH FLOW ALARM or E-14 LOW FLOW ALARM?
    • J
      Joseph MartinSep 14, 2025
      If your Graco Control Unit displays an E-13 HIGH FLOW ALARM or E-14 LOW FLOW ALARM, it indicates that the fluid system is producing too much or too little flow. Troubleshoot the fluid system for restrictions, leaks, exhausted fluid supply, incorrect settings, etc. Increase or decrease the flow rate, as required.

    How can I resolve the E-11 PURGE VOLUME ALARM on my Graco Control Unit?
    • D
      David PerezSep 13, 2025
      The E-11 PURGE VOLUME ALARM on your Graco Control Unit can be resolved by checking a few things. First, verify that the gun is not shut off and that the solvent flow switch is activated while purge is taking place, as the ProMix 2KS solvent flow switch might not be activated while purging. Also, the minimum flush volume might not be achieved; increase solvent supply or decrease minimum volume setting. Finally, there might be no meter pulses during Color/Catalyst Dump; in this case, check the Color Change setup, as the color change solvent supply might not be set up or functional.

    What does E-12 CAN COMM ERROR ALARM mean on my Graco Control Unit?
    • E
      elizabeth94Sep 12, 2025
      The E-12 CAN COMM ERROR ALARM indicates that communication between the Color Change Module and the Fluid Station is interrupted. Verify that all cables are connected securely and that the Color Change and Booth Control power LEDs turn on. If the power LED does not turn on, the problem is probably caused by a bad connection. The nut on the connector must make at least 5 complete turns to ensure a good connection. If the power LED still does not light, the cable or board is bad. The fluid control board fuse may be blown; verify condition of fuse and replace if necessary. It could also indicate that communication between the Booth Control and the Fluid Station is interrupted; verify that the cable is correctly connected.

    What to do if I get a potlife alarm on my Graco Control Unit?
    • M
      mestradaSep 7, 2025
      If the potlife time has been exceeded for the mixed material, press the Alarm Reset key to stop the audible alarm. Then, purge the system with solvent, fresh mixed material, or perform a color change. For solvent purge, the system purges until the preset purge time is complete. For new mixed material purge, go to Mix mode and spray the required volume to restart the timer. To perform a color change, follow the procedure on page 69.

    What does REMOTE_STOP_ALARM mean on Graco ProMix 2KS Industrial Equipment?
    • D
      Debra AndersonSep 7, 2025
      A REMOTE_STOP_ALARM indicates that automation has requested that the system abort all operations. Abort operations and troubleshoot the automation system.

    How to troubleshoot fluctuating gauge with no fluid flow in Graco Industrial Equipment?
    • K
      klewisAug 23, 2025
      If the gauge reading fluctuates with changes to the % Open value but the fluid flow remains constant or absent in your Graco Industrial Equipment, the problem is likely mechanical. This could be due to a restriction or plugged hose, a plugged gun tip, or a fluid regulator failure. To resolve this: * Clear any clogs. * Remove restrictions. * Clean and/or repair the fluid regulator.

    What does SYSTEM_IDLE_WARNING mean on Graco Industrial Equipment?
    • L
      Leslie StricklandSep 5, 2025
      A SYSTEM_IDLE_WARNING means the mix input is high, but the gun has not been triggered for 2 minutes. If you are not painting, clear the alarm and resume operation. If you are painting, shut down and inspect the fluid meter and air flow switch.
  • N
    Nicole WeaverSep 4, 2025
    What should I do when TANK_A/B/S_LOW_ALARM appears on my Graco Industrial Equipment?
    • W
      william00Sep 4, 2025
      When a TANK_A_LOW_ALARM, TANK_B_LOW_ALARM, or TANK_S_LOW_ALARM appears, it means the tank volume has reached the low-level threshold. Refill the tank volume to clear the alarm. Alternatively, you can select “Spray 25% of remaining volume” to resume mixing, but a second alarm will occur after 25% of the remaining volume is mixed, at which point you should refill the tank.

    What causes HIGH_FLOW_ALARM or LOW_FLOW_ALARM on Graco ProMix 2KS?
    • J
      James BarajasSep 3, 2025
      A HIGH_FLOW_ALARM or LOW_FLOW_ALARM indicates that the fluid system is producing too much or too little flow. Troubleshoot the fluid system for restrictions, leaks, exhausted fluid supply, incorrect settings, etc. Increase or decrease the flow rate, as required.
