Smart Flow Mode
The Smart Flow LED lights when the
controller is configured for Smart Flow mode.
sets the powder flow rate (Flow Air %).
sets the powder velocity (Total Flow).
Setting values for both are 0−99%.
Press the + and − buttons to select the desired
setpoint. The longer a button is pressed the faster the
units change.
Set Total Flow first to obtain the desired pattern size
and velocity, then set Flow Air % for the desired
powder flow.
NOTE: If either Total Flow or Flow Air are set to 0%
then the controller cannot output any air when
triggered and no powder is pumped.
Classic Flow Mode
To use Classic Flow mode, the controller must be
configured for it. Refer to your system manual for
configuration settings.
sets the flow air pressure as a percentage
of maximum pressure.
sets the atomizing air pressure as a
percentage of maximum pressure.
Setting values for both are 0−99% of maximum air
pressure. Press the + and − buttons to select the
desired setpoint. The longer a button is pressed the
faster the units change.
System Operation
NOTE: Allow powder in the feed hopper to fluidize
for several minutes before spraying powder.
Spraying Powder: Point the spray gun into the booth
and pull the spray trigger.
Purging the Gun: Release the spray trigger and
press down on the purge trigger. Pump air and
electrostatic voltage turn off and P appears on the
displays.
Electrode air wash air turns on and off automatically
as the gun is triggered. The air flow prevents powder
from collecting on the electrode.
Purge Trigger
Spray Trigger
The box feeder vibrator motor turns on when the
gun is triggered on. When the gun is turned off the
vibrator motor stays on for a set period of time (0−90
seconds, factory default is 30) to prevent rapid on-off
cycling of the motor during production.
Fluidizing air for box feeders turns on when the gun
is triggered. Feed hopper fluidizing air turns on when
the controller is turned on and remains on until the
power is turned off. Adjust the fluidizing air flow with
the needle valve on the rear panel of the controller.
The powder should boil gently.

Maintenance
Clean the spray gun nozzle and powder path, and
pump nozzle and venturi throat, in an ultrasonic
cleaning machine, using Oakiter BetaSolv or an
equivalent emulsion cleaning solution. Rinse with
clean water and dry before re-installing.
Do not immerse the spray gun electrode assembly in
the cleaning solution or rinse. Remove all O-rings
before cleaning. Do not allow the O-rings to come in
contact with the cleaning solution. Refer to your
system manual for more information.
