Introduction
How the Electrostatic Spray Gun
Works
The air hose supplies air to the spray gun. Part of the air
operates the turbine and the rest of the air atomizes the
fluid being sprayed. The turbine generates power, which
is converted by the power cartridge to supply high volt-
age current to the gun’s electrode.
The pump supplies fluid to the hose and gun, where the
fluid is electrostatically charged as it passes the elec-
trode. The charged fluid is attracted to the grounded
workpiece, wrapping around and evenly coating all sur-
faces.
Gun Overview
The electrostatic gun includes the following controls
(see F
IG. 1).
• FLUID adjustment valve. Adjusts fluid rod travel.
Use only in low flow conditions, to reduce wear.
• Fan AIR adjustment valve. Adjusts fan size and
shape.
• Atomizing air RESTRICTOR valve. Restricts
atomizing air flow. Replace with plug (included) if
desired.
• ES ON/OFF valve. Turns electrostatics ON (I) or
OFF (0).
• ES INDICATOR. Green when ES is ON (I).
