Flow Control
Flow control is an optional feature of the ProMix 3KS
automatic system. Flow control regulates the flow of
material to a manual or automatic air spray gun, to help
ensure adequate coverage and avoid sags or runs in the
finish coat. It is not for use with air-assisted or airless
spray guns.
See F
IG. 67. The flow regulator (FC) is required to use
flow control in your system. Connect the fluid inlet and
outlet lines, air line, and cable as shown.
Set Flow Control to “On” in Configure Screen 5 on
page 31. Make the desired selections in Advanced
Setup Screen 5, page 37.
