Calibrating Multiple Spray Monitors

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, then the iTrax OI will continue to allow the system to operate poorly and generate inaccurate faults.

  1. Install the desired nozzle and CO-plate on the spray guns.

  2. For each Spray Monitor, if not already done, configure the calibration settings.

  3. Start the fluid pump and adjust the fluid pressure.

  4. Start the coating system and start spraying product.

  5. Adjust the fluid pressure for best results.

  6. Icon_TOOLS.JPG Touch this button on the main button bar. A drop-down menu appears.

  7. Icon_CALIBRATE.JPG Select Calibrate Multiple Spray Monitor Guns from the drop-down menu. The Calibrate Multiple Spray Monitor Guns window appears.

The top field is a drop-down list of existing Spray Monitor groups.

The bottom field lists the Spray Monitors in the currently selected group.

  1. Select the group that contains the guns you want to calibrate.

  2. Select the Spray Monitors you want to calibrate:

To select a Spray Monitor, touch its name.

To deselect a Spray Monitor, touch its name again.

  1. Icon_CALIBRATE.JPG Touch this button to start the calibration. The calibration process takes only a few seconds. The Calibrate Multiple Spray Monitor Guns status screen appears. When the calibration is complete, the Spray Monitor re-enables fault monitoring and returns to normal operation.

Inspect the product that was coated during the calibration. If the quality is not acceptable, inspect the operating pressures, CO-plate, and nozzle. Calibrate the Spray Monitors again if you change anything to improve the product quality.

 

NOTE: If the Calibration Timeout Period expires before the calibration is complete, an error message appears, the calibration is cancelled, and fault monitoring is enabled. Repeat this procedure to restart a calibration.
