Operating instructions SATAjet 1000 B (RP/HVLP)
4. Putting into Operation
Before putting into operation, and especially after each cleaning and any repair work, check to
see that all screws and nuts are tight. This applies in particular for the material flow control screw
(counter nut), the round/flat spray control (pos. 5) as well as the fixing screw (pos. 9) for the air
micrometer. The paint spray gun has been treated with an anticorrosive agent before leaving the
factory and must therefore be flushed out thoroughly with thinner before use. For servicing/repair
work of any kind, the system must be devoid of pressure, i.e. disconnected from the air supply.
Failure to respect this safety warning may result in damage and injuries, even death at worst. SATA
does not take any responsibility for possible results of such failure.
4.1 Clean Spray air
...best obtained by using a combi fine filter unit with integrated pressure
regulator, for rough spray pressure adjustment. Due to high pressure drop in
the air hose/coupling, the actual dynamic air pressure should be checked and
fine-adjusted at the spray gun air inlet.
part. no. 92296
4.2 Sufficient air volume
...obtained by an appropriate compressor, large air line diameters and, to
avoid too much pressure drop, an air hose with minimum 9 mm inner diameter
in antistatic and pressure-resistant version and free from substances affecting
the painting result. Blow out the air hose before attaching it to the air connec-
tion (G 1/4 ext.). The air hose must be pressure-resistant for min. 145 psi and
solvent-resistant. Total electric resistance: < 100 million Ohm.
part. no. 53090 (Length 10m) - (non-resistant against petrol and oil)
4.3 Air micrometer/Exchange Manometer
For maximum air flow, fully open integrated Micrometer, i.e. put into vertical
position III. By means of the variable adjustable air micrometer the internal
spray gun presure can be set directly at the gun. Connect the spray gun to
the air supply, pull the trigger and adjust the requested spray gun internal
pressure.
Note:
- Micrometer in vertical position (position III - parallel to the gun body) =
maximum atomization and maximum internal spray gun pressure (identical
with spray gun inlet pressure)
- Position I or II (across gun body) = minimum atomization, minimum internal
spray gun pressure (for spot repair, speckling etc.)
Attention: While the spray gun is connected to the air supply, the air micro-
meter fixing screw, pos. 9, must not be removed. When the fixing screw is
removed, the spray gun must not be put into operation.
