INSTALLATION
The following guidelines must be observed when
installing air lters for the Aerobell system (see
"Air Filtration Requirements Chart" for additional
information).
1. Use only recommended pre-lters and bearing
air lters as shown in "Recommended Air Filtration
Requirements" in this section. Additional system
air ltration (i.e., refrigerated air dryer) may also
be used if desired.
The Aerobell shipping container includes the basic
atomizer assembly with bell and manifold. Also
required with the system are 2 (or more) RPM-419
wrenches (ordered separately). The RPM-419
wrenches are used to remove the shaping air
cap and air ring, and the bell cup (wrenches not
required during installation as the cap, ring, and
bell are mounted in place). The optional CCV
Color Change Valve assemblies are ordered and
shipped separately.
Mount the Aerobell securely to a stationary or
reciprocating xture with the 3/4-inch diameter
stud provided.
2. Use one bearing air lter per Aerobell.
3. Mount the bearing air lter as close as possible
to the Aerobell (do not mount further than 30 feet
away).
4. Where possible, the pre-lter(s) and bearing
air lter(s) should be mounted where they can be
easily seen, so the user will see when maintenance
is required.
5. Standard black iron or galvanized piping may
be used prior to the HAF-515 or RPM-417 pre-
lters only. All piping after the pre-lter should be
brass, stainless steel, aluminum, or hose (poly,
nylon, nyliner, etc.).
6. Do not use tape, pipe dope, or other thread
sealant downstream of the bearing air lter. Loose
akes of tape or other sealant can break loose and
plug the very ne air holes in the turbine bearings.
7. Use clear see-through air tubing between the
bearing air lter and bearing air tting to clearly
indicate to the user if oil or moisture contamination
is getting past the lter.
8. If air heaters are used in the system (to mini-
mize the effect of excessively humid conditions),
and the heated air will exceed 120
o
F, the heaters
must be located after all lters to prevent damage
to the lter media.
> Risk of arcing/re hazard. The Aerobell
must be located a safe distance from the
object to be sprayed, as well as all other
grounded objects. The safe distance is at
least 1-inch per 10kV of electrostatic volt-
age. Example: If the Aerobell is used with
100kV applied voltage, it must be at least
10-inches from the object to prevent arcing.
