Normal Use
The automatic spray gun PILOT Signier is exclusively designed for use with spraya-
ble materials, especially:
•
paints and lacquers
•
greases, oils and corrosion preventives
•
adhesive compounds
•
ceramic glazes
•
pickling solutions
Aggressive media should generally not be sprayed. If your specific material is not
listed above, please contact us for further and detailed information.
Please note that sprayable material may only be applied to workpieces and/or similar
items. The model PILOT Signier is not designed for manual operation and must
therefore be installed in a suitable gun mounting device.
The temperature of the spraying material shall never exceed 80 degs. C.
The term normal use also implies that any and all safety warnings, operational hand-
ling details, etc., as stated in these Operating Instructions, are carefully read, under-
stood and duly complied with.
This equipment complies with the explosion protection requirements of Directive
2014/34/EU (ATEX) for the explosion group, equipment category and temperature
class indicated on the type plate. When using the equipment, the requirements spe-
cified in these Operating Instructions must be observed at all times.
The technical data indicated on the equipment rating plates and the specifications in
the chapter "Technical Data" must be complied with at all times and must not be
exceeded. An overloading of the equipment must be ruled out.

Technical Description
The model PILOT Signier is an all-automatic air-controlled gun operating in combi-
nation with a 3/2-way control valve in the form of hand-, foot- or solenoid-actuated
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 cylinder
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 permit,
for example, cleaning of a clogged material nozzle.
