ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

 

Poor wrap±around.

*ES ON±OFF lever in OFF position.

Turn lever to ON.

 

 

Improper distance between gun

Adjust spraying distance to

 

 

and workpiece.

203±305 mm (8±12 in.).

 

 

Parts poorly grounded.

Clean hangers, check for proper

 

 

 

ground on conveyer or track.

 

 

High booth exhaust velocity.

Reduce within code limits.

 

 

Atomizing air pressure too high.

Reduce air pressure.

 

 

Fluid pressure too high.

Reduce fluid pressure.

 

 

Fluid viscosity.

Check supplier for proper fluid for

 

 

 

electrostatic spray.

 

 

Fluid resistivity too low.

Check fluid resistivity with paint

 

 

 

meter and probe.

 

 

*Turbine alternator not operating

Check if ES ON±OFF lever is ON.

 

 

(no audible whine).

Check air supply to gun. Check for

 

 

 

dirt or moisture in turbine. See

 

 

 

page 23.

 

 

Faulty gun resistance.

Check gun resistance. See page 16.

 

 

Faulty resistor stud resistance.

Check resistor stud resistance.

 

 

 

See page 17.

 

 

Faulty power supply resistance.

Check power supply resistance.

 

 

 

See page16.

 

 

Faulty needle electrode assembly.

Replace needle electrode assembly.

 

 

 

See page 18.

 

 

*Faulty turbine alternator.

Be sure plug is in place on back of

 

 

 

turbine alternator housing.Remove

 

 

 

and test turbine alternator. See

 

 

 

page 23.

 

 

 

 

 

Operator gets mild

Operator not properly grounded

Be sure floor is properly grounded.

 

shock.

or is in contact with ungrounded

Wear shoes with conductive soles

 

object.

and wear personal grounding straps.

 

 

 

 

 

Be sure operator is not in contact

 

 

 

with or carrying any metalic items

 

 

 

which could build up electrical

 

 

 

charge. If worn, a glove must be

 

 

 

conductive or modified as shown on

 

 

 

page 9.

 

 

Gun not properly grounded.

See Check the Electrical Grounding,

 

 

 

page 8. Be sure Graco air supply hose

 

 

 

is being used and is properly grounded.

 

 

 

 

 

Operator gets mild

Work piece not properly

Clean work piece hangers. Check

 

shock when touching

grounded.

for proper ground on conveyor or

 

 

track.

 

work piece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*ES indicator light not on when gun is triggered.
