CAUTION: Your coating system should be performing to specifications when you calibrate the spray monitors. If the coating system is operating poorly when you calibrate, the iTrax system will continue to allow the system to operate poorly and generate inaccurate faults.
Calibration collects operating data to use as an operational baseline. Each time a product is coated during normal operation, the actual base, fire, and delta pressures are compared to the calibrated (baseline) pressures. If the actual pressures are outside of permissible ranges around the calibrated pressures, a fault occurs.
During calibration, the Spray Monitor records the base and fire pressures of several sprays and determines valid warning and alarm conditions depending on the base and flow settings made during Spray Monitor fault setup.
Perform a calibration when you
Clean or modify the fluid system
Change nozzle size
Change the CO-plate
Change the base pressure
Change the spray duration
Replace a gun
NOTE: Before you perform a calibration, enter the nozzle flow rate and CO-plate designators into the OI.
You can calibrate either a single gun or multiple guns at the same time. Touch one of the links below to view instructions for running a calibration.
