equipment in accordance with ATEX are compliant with the necessary require-
ments.
The operator must provide corresponding safety measures for all applications in
which the breakdown of the equipment might lead to danger to persons. If any

ted.
Grounding / Equipotential Bonding

2 Technical
Description
The model PILOT Signier is an all-automatic air-controlled gun operating in com-
bination with a 3/2-way control valve in the form of hand-, foot- or solenoid-actua-
ted valves.
Actuation of the 3/2-way valve directs control air into the cylinder inside the gun
so as to open - in sequence - the atomizing air and the material input.
Closing of the 3/2-way valve is followed by the control air escaping from the cylin-
der inside the gun, upon which the spring-loaded material control needle returns
to its initial position, where it shuts the material and atomizing air input off.
The material inlet duct of the PILOT Signier can be opened manually so as to per-
mit, for example, cleaning of a clogged material outlet nozzle.
