R1: Ratio Low Error

To avoid serious injury follow all warnings and instructions in the manual. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

The mix ratio is lower than the set tolerance for an A to B component volume comparison.

  • Check that the system is fully loaded with material. 
  • Check that the supply pump’s cycle rate is set properly. 
  • Check that the spray tip/nozzle is properly sized for the flow and application, and that it is not clogged. 
  • Check that the fluid regulator is set properly.
Restrict gun needle travel to slow down the initial fluid delivery rate until fluid hoses are loaded with material. 
 

 

Adjust component A and B fluid supply regulator pressures until they are about equal. If the pressures are already about equal, verify that component A and B dose valves are operating properly. 

Manually operate the Dose Valve A1 (A2, A3) and B solenoid valves by pressing and releasing solenoid valve override buttons. Valves should snap open and shut quickly. 

 

Air Pressure to the valve actuators is too low.

  • Increase air pressure. Air pressure must be 75-120 psi (.52-.84 MPa, 5.2-8.4 bar); 120 psi is recommended.

Something is restricting the solenoid or tubing and interrupting valve actuation air.

  • There may be dirt or moisture in the air supply. Filter appropriately.

Dose Valve A1 (A2, A3) is turned in too far. Dose Valve B is open too far. 

  • Refer to Valve Settings, in manual, for adjustment guidelines.

Fluid pressure is high and air pressure is low.

  • Adjust air and fluid pressure. See recommended air pressure above.

Fluid seal in valve has failed. 

  • See corresponding valve manual for repair instructions.
