1.3. Precautions for Use
This document contains information that all operators should be aware of and understand
before using the atomizer concerned. This information highlights situations that could result in
serious damage and indicates the precautions that should be taken to avoid them.
WARNING : Before any use of the Nanobell II equipment, check that all operators:
• have previously be trained by the compagny SAMES KREMLIN, or by their distributors
registered by them for this purpose.
• have read and understood the user manual and all rules for installation and operation, as
laid out below.
It is the responsibility of the operators’ workshop manager to ensure these two points and it is
also his responsibility to make sure that all operators have read and understood the user
manuals for any peripheral electrical equipment present in the spraying area.
1.4. Warnings
WARNING : Safety may be jeopardized if this equipment is not operated, disassembled and
reassembled in compliance with the instructions given in this manual and in any
European Standard or national safety regulations in force.
WARNING : Equipment performance is only guaranteed if original spare parts distributed by
SAMES KREMLIN are used.
WARNING : To guarantee an optimal assembly, spare parts must be stored in a temperature
close to their temperature of use. Should the opposite occur, a sufficient waiting
time must be observed before the installation, so that all the elements are assem-
bled in the same temperature.
Index revision : D - March 2019 7 7101
WARNING :
This equipment must only be used in spraying locations according to standard EN 50176 (§ 5.4
and 5.7). The equipment has to be used only within ventilated in order to reduce risks for the
health of the operators, fire or explosion. The efficiency of the extraction ventilation system has
to be daily checked.
Within explosive atmospheres produced by the spraying process, only appropriate explosion-
proof electrical equipment has to be used.
Before carrying out any cleaning or general work on atomizers in the spraying area, the high
voltage generator must be switched off and the atomizer HV circuit discharged to the ground.
The pressurised coating product or the pressurised air must not be directed towards people or
animals.
Appropriate measures have to be taken to avoid, during periods when the equipment is not
used and/or when the equipment is broken, the presence of potential energy (liquid or air pres-
sure or electric) inside the equipment.
The operator must wear shoes according to standard EN ISO 20344 and the insulation resistance
measured must not exceed 100 MΩ.
The protective clothes, including gloves, must conform to standard EN 1149-5 and the insulation
resistance measured must not exceed 100 MΩ.
Using individual protection equipment will limit the risks of contact and/or inhalation of toxic
product, gas, vapours, fog or dusts that can be produced while using the equipment. The user
has to follow the coating product manufacturer’s recommendations.
Electrostatic spraying equipment must be serviced regularly in accordance with the informa-
tion and instructions given by SAMES KREMLIN.
It is strictly prohibited to stick adhesive tape on the atomizer body.
Cleaning operations must be carried out either in authorised areas equipped with a
mechanical ventilation system, or using cleaning liquids with a flash point at least 15 °C higher
than room temperature.
Only metal containers can be used for cleaning liquids and they must have a reliable ground
connection.
Inside the booth it is forbidden to use a naked flame, glowing object or a device likely to pro-
duce sparks.
It is also forbidden to store inflammable products, or vessels that have contained them, close
to the booth.
The surrounding area must be kept clear and clean.
Index revision : D - March 2019 8 7101
WARNING : The use of very high voltage increases the risk of sparks. SAMES KREMLIN atom-
izers and high-voltage electrostatic generators are designed to minimize this risk. Although the
HV electrode is the only accessible part, a safety distance of X mm (refer to: Board see § 3.3
page 25) has to be maintained between the parts of the sprayer that are under high voltage and
all the parts that are grounded.
The distances authorized from application, specified in the user manual of the atomizer, are a
function overall length of cables HV (electric capacities). HV connection of the atomizer to the
well of the HVU is authorized only by the use of a HV cable only one length, no adapter is not
authorized
In addition, a careful check must be made to ensure that any conducting or semi-conducting
part closer than 2.5 m to the atomizer is correctly grounded.
If it is not, electrical charges capable of causing sparks could build up on it. Operating person-
nel must wear anti-static shoes and gloves to avoid this risk.
All metal parts of the booth and parts to be painted must be correctly grounded. Ground resist-
ance must be less than or equal to 1 MΩ (minimum measurement voltage 500 V). This must be
checked regularly.
Grounding is mandatory for all the conductive envelops of the electrical equipments and for
all the conductive components within explosive atmospheres by conductive connection with
the ground terminal.
Finally, for the same reasons, the spraying area must have an anti-static floor, such as concrete,
metal duckboard, etc.
It is essential to provide sufficient ventilation in the spraying booths to avoid the build up of
inflammable vapors.
The effectiveness of the overcurrent protection (di/dt) must be checked every day. This check
must be carried out in an area with no explosive atmosphere by placing a ground device near
the electrode of the atomizer when the atomizer is switched on (the operator must be con-
nected to ground): the control module must switch to the fault state.
Additional equipment has to be placed outside the dangerous area and its starting device has
to be servo-controlled to the running mode of the booth aspiration fan. The correct working of
the servo-control has to be checked once a week.
A warning board has to be placed in full view close to the sparing area.
An excessive turbine speed can engender major damages on the turbine as well as a loss of
connection bell/turbine; this represents a risk for persons and equipment. The maximum speed
indicated in this user manual must not be exceeded (see § 3.2 page 24).
Index revision : D - March 2019 9 7101
1.4.1. Regulatory tests to be carried out on the equipment according to standard EN 50176
The tests must be carried out on the spraying equipment. The tests must be carried out by com-
petent personnel and include the tests described below (see § 6.3 table 3 in standard EN
50176).
Type of test Requirements
The fixed inflammable coating liquid material
electrostatic coating must be tested to ensure it is
safe for workers.
In this context, and particularly for the disconnec-
tion threshold, the overload current Iü and the
minimum voltage Umin must be defined and
documented in relation to the operational and
local conditions (see also § 5.2.2 in standard
EN50176).
Forced ventilation effectiveness (air extraction
systems) See §5.4.4 in standard EN50176
The safe high voltage disconnection must be
tested for operation under controlled voltage
and under constant voltage.
See 5.2.2 and 5.2.2.1 in standard EN50176.
The disconnection threshold Iü must be defined
and documented in relation to the operational
and local conditions.
It must be tested if the high voltage is discon-
nected and if there is an unacceptable increase
in the operating current Ib and if the disconnec-
tion threshold Iü is reached.
In this context, the disconnection threshold Iü
defined during the initial test must be checked.
A disconnection threshold Iü that may increase
the possibility of dangerous discharges or electri-
cal flashovers between the parts under high volt-
age and the grounded parts if the safe distance
falls below its permitted value is not permitted.
3G category devices See 5.2.2 and 5.2.2.1in standard EN50176
2G category devices See 5.2.2, 5.2.2.1 and 6.4 in standard EN50176
For the operation at constant current, the safe
disconnection of the high voltage electricity sup-
ply must be tested.
See 5.2.2 and 5.2.2.2 in standard EN50176.
The disconnection threshold Umin must be
defined and documented in relation to the oper-
ational and local conditions.
Checks must be carried out to ensure that the
high voltage is disconnected if the high voltage
falls unacceptably below the disconnection
threshold Umin.
In this context, the disconnection threshold Umin
defined during the initial test must be checked.
A disconnection threshold Umin that may increase
the possibility of dangerous discharges or electri-
cal flashovers
between the parts under high voltage and the
grounded parts if the safe distance falls below its
permitted value is not permitted.
3G category devices See 5.2.2 and 5.2.2.2in standard EN50176
Index revision : D - March 2019 10 7101
These tests must be carried out periodically The following maximum intervals between tests are
recommended (see § 7.2.3 table 4 in standard EN 50176).
2G category devices See 5.2.2, 5.2.2.2 and 6.4 in standard EN50176
Protection against discharge energy which is too
high See 5.2.3, 5.8.2 and 5.8.3 in standard EN50176
Protection against cleaning product inflamma-
tion See 5.2.4.in standard EN50176
Effectiveness of the protection measures against
direct contact See 5.5.2, 5.5.6 and 5.8.5 in standard EN50176
Effectiveness of the earthing measures See 5.7 in standard EN50176
Slaving / protection against inputs See 5.5.2 in standard EN50176
Effectiveness of the local fire extinguishing system
See 5.2.5 in standard EN50176
In addition to the location's protection system,
local fire extinguishing systems (fixed and dedi-
cated to the object) must provide effective
protection for the dangerous zone located
between the output from the coating material
and the part to be processed. It must be proven
for each individual case that the roles of the local
fire extinguishing systems and the location's pro-
tection systems may be satisfied by a single extin-
guishing system.

1.5. Important Recommendations
1.5.1. Compressed Air Quality
The air must be filtered to a level that will guarantee a long life time and prevent any pollution
during painting.
The filter must be installed as close as possible to the facility. The filter cartridges must be
changed regularly to ensure that the air is clean.
PTFE tape or glue should not be used between the filter and the bearing as glue residue or
pieces of PTFE may block the small holes of the air bearing and cause turbine failure.
The inside of hoses supplying air to the atomizer and the ports of the quick-disconnect plate
must be clean and free of any traces of paint, solvent or other foreign matter.
The guarantee does not cover faults caused by unclean, unfiltered bearing air resulting from
disregard of the previous recommendations.
WARNING : If the air is not correctly filtered, the bearing may become fouled resulting in a
turbine operating fault. The filtering system used must prevent particles greater
than 5 µm in diameter from reaching the bearing.
WARNING : The guarantee does not cover damage caused by foreign matter such as paint,
solvent or other substances entering the air circuits of the Nanobell II.
1.5.2. Product Quality
The paint must be filtered to prevent any damage to the atomizer.
The maximum permissible particle size in the atomizer is 200 µm.
1.5.3. Bearing Safety
The compressed air connection to the air bearing must be made directly to the supply circuit
without the use of an isolating valve.
During operation, the air bearing must be continuously under pressure, otherwise considerable
damage may be caused. A sudden cut in the air supply could destroy the air bearing of the
turbine. Wait until the turbine has stopped completely before cutting off the bearing air.
Procedure for cutting off air to the air bearing:
• Switch off the turbine rotation air supply
• Wait until the turbine has stopped completely (at least 150 s).
• Switch off the bearing air supply.
Running the turbine with bearing air pressure of less than 6 bar at the atomizer inlet can dam-
age the bearing. The standard bearing air pressure is 6 bar at the air control cabinet.
All these pressure values are measured at the atomizer inlet. If the bearing pressure drops below
6 bar at the turbine or atomizer inlet, cut off the air supply to the turbine.
In addition, a 25-liter air reserve should be available so that the turbine brakes gradually if the
main air supply is cut off suddenly.
WARNING : The guarantee does not cover faults that occur if the turbine is operated with in
sufficient bearing air pressure.

1.5.4. Locking
Do not atomize the product if the bellcup is not turning at a speed of at least 15000 rpm. At
lower speeds, paint or solvent may enter the turbine, bearing and control circuits. Opening the
head valve, injector rinsing valve and bellcup exterior rinsing valve must be prohibited when
the bellcup is not turning. Only qualified personnel are authorized to by-pass this locking system
for flow rate checks.
WARNING : If the turbine is not already operating, wait, after starting it up, until the bellcup
reaches at least 15000 rpm before opening the head valve. The recommended
minimum waiting time is 2 seconds.
1.5.5. Shaping Air
Do not atomize the product until the shaping air rate is at least 80 Nl/mn (i.e. 0.3 bar at the
atomizer inlet). If it is less, there may be a feedback of atomized product which fouls the outer
cover and the inside surface of the air shroud resulting in application faults.
1.5.6. High Voltage
Disable the high voltage if the Nanobell II is not operated for a prolonged period (conveyor
shutdown, no objects to be painted, slack periods, etc.) to prevent ionization of the air.
WARNING : Rinsing cycles (bellcup exterior and injector) must be carried, beforehand switch-
ing off the high voltage power supply.
1.5.7. Maximum Speed
Excessive turbine speed can result in serious damage to the turbine and loss of connection
between the bell cup and turbine, presenting a risk to persons and equipment.
The speed must
not exceed 45,000 rpm.
WARNING : The guarantee does not cover damage resulting from a rotation speed greater than
45 000 tr/min.
1.5.8. Vibrations
If the atomizer vibrates more than usual, the cause is generally unbalanced rotating parts.
There may be dry paint deposits on the bell cup or rotor. If any of these situations arise, it is essen-
tial to correct them. Excessive unbalance may damage the turbine resulting in failure to oper-
ate or even loss of the bell cup / turbine connection, presenting a risk for persons and
equipment.
WARNING : The guarantee does not cover damage caused by unbalance of the rotating parts.
1.5.9. Bell Cup / Turbine Fitting
The bell cup must be correctly fitted on the turbine, a snap must be heard; the two cylinders
must fit on top of each other without any foreign matter between them. If fitting is incorrect, the
connection may be lost and the bell cup thrown out still spinning, presenting a risk for persons
and equipment.
Index revision : D - March 2019 14 7101
1.5.10. O-ring Seals
Use the seals recommended in this manual. For solvent-based products, seals in contact with
the product must be chemically inert seals resistant to swelling or chemical attack. The Nano-
bell II is only guaranteed to operate correctly if it is used with seals whose size and material con-
form to this manual.
1.5.11. Ventilation
Do not begin applying paint with the Nanobell II before starting up the ventilation system in the
spraying booth. If the ventilation is cut, toxic substances such as organic solvents or ozone may
remain in the spraying booth, resulting in a risk of fire, poisoning or irritation.
1.5.12. Residual pressure
Before all maintenance or repair operations, remove paint and solvent from the atomizer,
switch off the high voltage power supply and cut the paint, solvent and air supplies, then
release residual pressure in each supply system. Residual pressure may lead to component
damage and expose personnel to
serious injuries. Paint or solvent dispersion may also lead to poisoning or irritation.
1.5.13. Safety devices
During installation of the Nanobell II, it is important to set up safety devices enabling high volt-
age power, paint, solvent and air supplies to be cut immediatly if there is a problem.
• Detection of control system faults
• Detection of high voltage surges linked with the SAMES KREMLIN high voltage module.
• Detection of air pressure drops.
• Detection of ventilation failure.
• Detection of fire
• Detection of human presence.
• Detection of turbine rotation speed faults.
Failure to install safety devices could result in a risk of fire, expose the personnel to serious injury
and damage the equipment.
WARNING : The electrostatic projection systems must be equipped with an automatic fire extin-
guishing system (according to § 5.2.5 in standard EN 50176).
1.5.14. Restriction on robot wrist movements
In order to optimize the life time of the low voltage cable as well as the supply hoses, it is rec-
ommended to limit the movement of axis 6 to ± 0,5 turns compared with the axis 3.
1.5.15. Mechanical Collision
The guarantee does not cover damage resulting from the operating environment (for example
collision with the robot).
1.5.16. Ambient Temperature
The sprayer is designed to work normally under room temperature between 0°C and + 40°C.
In order to optimise application quality, it is advised to work under room temperature between
+ 15°C and + 28°C.
The storage temperature will never exceed +60°C.
1.5.17. Sound level
The accoustic pressure level, continuous, equivalent, weighted, equals to 59.7 dBA.
Conditions of measurement:
The equipment has been run at its maximum values, the measures have been made from the
operator desk of the paint test booth "API" (closed booth with glass walls) of the Research &
Development laboratory at SAMES KREMLIN Meylan France.
Index revision : D - March 2019 15 7101
Method of measurement:
The accoustic pressure level, continuous, equivalent, weighted (59.7 dBA) is given in LEQ value,
measured for observation periods of at least 30 seconds.
1.5.18. Specific maintenance provisions
The access of the booth, near the atomizer in operation, will have to be proscribed and con-
trolled by safety devices (see § 1.5.13 page 14) which will have to stop the equipment in case
of intrusion of people in the area.
Nevertheless, for maintenance operation, these safety devices will have to be arranged in
order to allow certain operations and checks (only for persons trained and entitled by
SAMES KREMLIN).
The turbine rotation with a bellcup, in all the cases, wil be prohibited with personnel in the area.

2.2. Function of the parts
Parts Function
Bell cup The bell cup atomizes all types of paint. It is selected
according to the type of product used.
Turbine
The rotation of the bell cup is produced by a pneumatic
motor. Atomization results from the centrifugal forces gen-
erated by rotation of the bell cup. The size of sprayed
paint particles decreases as the speed of the turbine
motor increases.
Body
The body houses all the fluid circuits, product, air and sol-
vent microvalves and the injector / injector holder assem-
bly.
Shaping air assembly
(outer cover / shaping air
shroud)
These parts control the size and pattern diameter and
transfer the particles to the parts to be painted. They pro-
tect internal components and allow easy cleaning.
Injector holder
Injector
Keeps the injector in the center of the bell cup. It also has
an opening to supply the microphone air.
The injector is used to regulate the paint flow rate into the
bell cup. The inner diameter of the restrictor is selected
according to the viscosity of the paint and the required
paint thickness
Microvalve
Air-controlled, 2-way, normally closed valves used for vari-
ous operations: paint supply, paint rinse, bell cup exterior
rinse, injector rinse
UHT 158
High voltage unit
Receives a low voltage supply that it converts into high
voltagefor charging the atomized paint particles; these
are attracted to the surface to be painted, which has a
ground connection
