Spray Area High
Voltage Equipment
Electrical Discharge
This equipment contains a
high-voltage device that can
cause an electrostatic induction
on ungrounded objects. This
electrical charge is capable of
igniting coating materials.
Insufficient ground will cause a
spark hazard. A spark can ignite
many coating materials and
cause a fire or explosion.
Operators in the spray area and the parts to be
sprayed must be sufficiently grounded.
All conductive objects inside the spray area must be
grounded.
Hold the parts that get sprayed on conveyors or
hangers that are correctly grounded. The resistance
between the parts and the earth-ground must not be
more than 1 MΩ. Refer to: NFPA-33.
Before the equipment is operated, ground all
operators. They cannot wear rubber-soled insulated
shoes. Wear ground straps on wrists or legs for
sufficient ground contact.
Operators must not wear or carry ungrounded metal
objects.
When used, operators must make complete contact
with the applicator handle and electrostatic gun. Use
conductive gloves or gloves with the palm section cut
out.
Operators must wear grounded footwear.
NOTE: REFER TO NFPA-33 OR SPECIFIC
COUNTRY SAFETY CODES FOR GUIDANCE TO
CORRECTLY GROUND THE OPERATOR.
Except for objects needed for the high-voltage
process, all electrically conductive objects in the
spray area are to be grounded. Supply a grounded
conductive floor in the spray area.
Always turn off the applicator voltage before the
system is flushed, cleaned, or when servicing the
spray system equipment.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous
locations, put all electrical equipment outside of
Class I or II, Division 1 or 2 hazardous areas in
accordance with NFPA-33, or outside of Zone 2 or
Zone 22 in accordance with EN standards.
Do not install an applicator into a fluid system if the
solvent supply is ungrounded.
Do not touch an energized applicator electrode.

Toxic Fluid or Fumes
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause
severe injury or death if splashed
in the eyes or on the skin, or if
inhaled or swallowed.
High-pressure fluid sprayed
from the gun, hose fittings, or
ruptured/damaged components
can pierce the skin.
While this injury can appear as
cut skin, this is a severe injury
that can result in the amputation
of the affected area.
Read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for instructions
to know and understand how to handle the specific
hazards of the fluids used, and the effects of long-
term exposure.
During the spray, clean, or servicing of equipment,
or when in the work area, keep the work area fully
ventilated.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
when in the work area or during equipment operation.
Refer to the Personal Protective Equipment warnings
in this manual.
Store hazardous fluid in approved containers and
refer to local, municipal, state, and national codes
governing the disposal of hazardous fluids.
Do not point or operate the spray gun at the body
part of a person.
Do not put your hand or fingers over the gun fluid
nozzle or fittings in the hose or Proportioner.
Do not try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand,
glove, body, or shop rag.
Do not blowback fluid, as the equipment is not an
air spray system.
Relieve pressure in the supply hoses, Proportioner,
and QuickHeat™ hose before the equipment is
inspected, cleaned, or serviced.
Use the lowest possible pressure to recirculate,
purge, or troubleshoot the equipment.
Examine the hoses, couplings, and fittings every day.
Service or immediately replace parts that leak, are
worn, or are damaged. Replace high-pressure hose
sections. They cannot be recoupled or serviced.

03.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The IntelliFlow has an emergency stop (E-Stop) pushbutton on the main operator panel. During an emergency, all
operations for the IntelliFlow will halt when the E-Stop is engaged. The operator must disengage the E-Stop and reset
the system to recover from this state.
Observe all local or municipal safety measures and wear approved protective equipment when servicing this equipment.
Clean all spilled chemicals and materials and do all work in a clean and organized environment to prevent personal
injury and equipment damage.
NOTICE
During the initial commission of the equipment and at periodic times throughout equipment life, visually examine all
fluid fittings for leaks.
Periodically, it is necessary to visually examine all pieces of this equipment for signs of noticeable degradation due to
chemicals or other conditions in the equipment’s environment.
CAUTION
Only operate the equipment after you have read this section.
DANGER
To prevent injury or electrocution while the system is under power, do not contact, disconnect, or manipulate electrical
connections or devices. The main disconnect on the right side of the controller can be locked out. Follow the proper
Lockout–Tagout (LOTO) procedures for internal controller electrical work.
Only qualified electrical personnel can perform the work if diagnosis and troubleshooting are not possible during
working conditions.
WARNING
To prevent possible chemical spillage when personnel are not on site, air and fluid supplies for the equipment must be
disabled when the equipment idles for an extended period, such as an end-of-day shutdown.
SAFETY
Obey local or municipal regulations that require installed fire suppression for equipment operation.

05.2.2 RM2 MP CORIOLIS GENERAL
INSTALLATION
Prepare the following components before installing the
flow meter:
• 240-5188 (2M) or 240-5187 (2M 90°) - RM2
communication cable (1)
• 4-6JIC JIC X NPS fitting (2)
• SSL-4SN-90 - 90° 3/8 NPS swivel X 3/8 NPS (3)
To install the standard Coriolis flow meter onto the MP
RM2:
1. Prepare connection with the MP RM2 color stack.
a. Install the 4-6JIC fitting into the color stack.
b. Tighten it to the recommended torque of 16–18 ft/
lbs (22–26 Nm).
c. Once the fitting is secure, thread the swivel nut
elbow onto the JIC fitting (4). Do not tighten.
d. Orient the elbow to face inward toward the
panel's opening hole (5).
e. Tighten the elbow snugly to ensure a secure fit.
WARNING
Do not place the flow meter cables closer than 12
inches to noise generation devices, including large
electric motors, fluorescent lighting, transformers,

07 OPERATION, SERVICING, AND MAINTENANCE
07.1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Coriolis flow meters operate on the principle of the Coriolis effect, where fluid flow through vibrating tubes generates
measurable deflections proportional to the mass flow rate.
These deflections are detected by sensors, which send signals to the controller. The controller processes these signals
to calculate mass flow, density, and temperature with high precision.
07.2 CALIBRATION ROUTINE
For applications requiring regular inspection or calibration, adhere to the relevant national standards and regulations.
07.3 SERVICING
The Coriolis flow meter does not contain parts that can be exchanged or repaired by the user.
Please contact Binks in case of a malfunction.
07.4 MAINTENANCE
The Coriolis flow meter does not require regular maintenance.
07.4.1 CLEANING
To clean the housing:
1. Moisten a cloth with water.
2. Apply a mild cleaning agent to the cloth.
3. Clean the outside of the housing, including the labeling and display window.
NOTICE
Shorten inspection and calibration intervals when using abrasive or fouling media.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Repairing explosion-protected devices is prohibited. Repair work may only be carried out by
personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents, such as acetone, to clean the flow meter housing. Aggressive
cleaning agents or solvents may damage the plastic parts or painted surfaces of the flow meter, and the labeling may
become illegible.
