Operating instructions SATAjet 3000 B RP (DIGITAL)
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 Suffi cient 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 diame-
ter in antistatic, silicone-free and pressure-resistant version. Blow out the air
hose before attaching it to the air connection (G 1/4 ext.). The air hose must
be pressure-resistant for min. 145 psi and solvent-resistant. Total electric
resistance: < 100 million Ohm, non-resistant against petrol and oil.
part. no. 53090 (Length 10m)
4.3 Air micrometer/Exchange Manometer
For maximum air flow, fully open integrated Micrometer, i.e. put into vertical
position III (not necessary when using a DIGITAL version). Pressure can be
adjusted directly at the spray gun. By means of the variable adjustable air
micrometer the spray gun internal pressure can be set. 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
micrometer fixing screw, pos. 9, must not be removed. When the fixing
screw is removed, the spray gun must not be put into operation.
