coatings. ISO will react with moisture (such as humidity)
to form small, hard, abrasive crystals, which become
suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film will form on the
surface and the ISO will begin to gel, increasing in vis-
cosity. If used, this partially cured ISO will reduce perfor-
mance and the life of all wetted parts.
Spraying or dispensing materials containing isocya-
nates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and mate-
rial MSDS to know specific hazards and precautions
related to isocyanates.
NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystal-
lization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the
humidity, and the temperature.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and
atomized particulates by providing sufficient ventila-
tion in the work area. If sufficient ventilation is not
available, a supplied-air respirator is required for
everyone in the work area.
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
•
Always use a sealed container with a desiccant
dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Never
store ISO in an open container.
To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate
personal protective equipment, including chemically
impermeable gloves, boots, aprons, and goggles, is
also required for everyone in the work area.
•
•
Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for
ISO, such as those supplied with your system.
Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain
moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed
when not in use.
Material Self-ignition
•
•
Never use solvent on one side if it has been con-
taminated from the other side.
Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil
or grease when reassembling.
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied
too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings
and material MSDS.
Changing Materials
•
When changing materials, flush the equipment mul-
tiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.
Keep Components A and B
Separate
•
•
Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
Check with your material manufacturer for chemical
compatibility.
•
Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some use
ISO on the B side.
Cross-contamination can result in cured material in
fluid lines which could cause serious injury or dam-
age equipment. To prevent cross-contamination of
the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange
component A (isocyanate) and component B (resin)
parts.

Dose Valves A and B. Fluid flow begins when the
gun is triggered.
Purge
Purges the system, using air and solvent.
4. Components A and B are introduced into the fluid
integrator (FI) one at a time as follows.
Sequential Dosing
Components A and B dispense sequentially in the nec-
essary volumes to attain the mix ratio.
a. Dose Valve A (DVA) opens, and fluid flows into
the integrator.
b. Flow Meter A (MA) monitors the fluid volume
dispensed and sends electrical pulses to the
ProMix 2KS controller. The controller monitors
these pulses and signals.
Dynamic Dosing
In typical operation (ratios 1:1 and above), component A
dispenses constantly. Component B dispenses intermit-
tently in the necessary volume to attain the mix ratio.
c. When the target volume dispenses, Dose Valve
A closes.
NOTE: The dispense volume of component A and B
is based on the mix ratio and dose size set by the
user and calculated by the ProMix 2KS controller.
Recipe (Color) Change
The process when the system automatically flushes out
the old color and loads a new color.
d. Dose Valve B (DVB) opens, and fluid flows into
the integrator and is aligned proportionately with
component A.
Solvent Push
e. Flow Meter B (MB) monitors the fluid volume
dispensed and sends electrical pulses to the
ProMix 2KS controller.
The Solvent Push feature enables the user to save
some mixed material by pushing it out to the gun with
solvent. The feature requires an accessory solvent

NOTE: To control output from the static mixer to the
gun, install an optional fluid pressure regulator.
8. When the gun is triggered again, the ProMix 2KS
continues the process where it left off.

Overview
Dynamic Dosing System Parameters
Dynamic Dosing provides on-demand proportioning,
eliminating the need for an integrator and therefore min-
imizing undesired material contact. This feature is espe-
cially useful with shear-sensitive and waterborne
materials.
The following parameters affect dynamic dosing perfor-
mance:
•
Component A Flow: Ensure that the supply pump is
sized to provide sufficient and uninterrupted flow.
Note that component A provides majority of system
flow at higher mix ratios.
A restrictor injects component B into a continuous
stream of component A. The software controls the dura-
tion and frequency of each injection. See FIG. 52 for a
schematic diagram of the process.
•
•
Component B Flow: Ensure that the supply pump is
sized to provide sufficient and uninterrupted flow.
Component A Pressure: Ensure precise pressure
regulation. It is recommended that the component A
pressure be 5-15% lower than the component B
pressure.
•
Component B Pressure: Ensure precise pressure
regulation. It is recommended that the component B
pressure be 5-15% higher than the component A
pressure.
NOTE: When using dynamic dosing it is very important
to maintain a constant, well-regulated fluid supply. To
obtain proper pressure control and minimize pump pul-
sation, install a fluid regulator on the A and B supply
lines upstream of the meters. In systems with color
change, install the regulator downstream of the
color/catalyst valve stack.

System Operation
Balancing A/B Pressure
If component B pressure is too high, it will push the com-
ponent A stream aside during B injection. The valve will
not open long enough, causing a High Ratio alarm.
B Pressure
Too Low
B Pressure
Too High
If component B pressure is too low, it will not be injected
in sufficient volume. The valve will stay open too long,
causing a Low Ratio alarm.
Selecting the correct component B restrictor size and
balancing the A/B pressures will keep the system in the
proper pressure range, resulting in a consistent mix
ratio.

nent B pressure be 5-15% higher than the component A
pressure to keep the system in the control range, hold
the proper mix ratio, and obtain properly mixed material.
If pressures are not balanced (“B Pressure Too High” or
“B Pressure Too Low”), it may not be possible to hold
the desired mix ratio. The system will generate an off

System Operation
Operating Without Air Flow Switch
Air Flow Switch (AFS) Function
It is not recommended to run without an air flow switch.
If a switch fails, replace it as soon as possible.
Air or Air-assisted Guns
The air flow switch (AFS) detects air flow to the gun and
signals the ProMix controller when the gun is triggered.
The AFS functions with the flow meters to ensure that
system components are functioning correctly.
Airless Gun
It is not recommended to use an airless gun with the
ProMix 2KS. Two issues can arise from operating with-
out an air flow switch:
For example, if a flow meter fails or clogs, pure resin or
catalyst could spray indefinitely if the ProMix does not
detect the condition and intervene, which is why the
AFS is so important.
•
Without a gun trigger/air flow switch input the Pro-
Mix 2KS does not know it is spraying and will not
generate a Dose Time Alarm (E-7 or E-8). This
means there is no way to detect a failed meter. You
could spray pure resin or catalyst for 2 minutes with-
out knowing.
If the ProMix detects through the AFS signal that the
gun is triggered, yet there is no fluid flow through the
meter, a Dose Time Alarm (E-7 or E-8) occurs after 40
seconds and the system shuts down.
•
Since the ProMix 2KS does not know it is spraying
because there is no gun trigger/air flow switch input,
it will go into System Idle (E-15) every 2 minutes
when in Mix mode.
System Idle Warning (E-15)
This warning occurs if the ProMix is set to Mix
and 2 minutes have elapsed since the system received
a flow meter pulse.
,
AFS
TI13350a
In applications using the AFS, triggering the gun clears
the warning and you can start spraying again.
FIG. 60: Air Flow Switches
Without the AFS, triggering the gun does not clear the
alarm. To start spraying again, you must press Standby
, then Mix

System Operation
6. Adjust component A and B fluid supplies
as needed for your application. Use low-
est pressure possible.
Watch the fluid flow rate displayed on the Status
screen while the gun is fully open. Verify that the
flow rate of components A and B are within 10% of
each other.
7. Do not exceed the maximum rated work-
ing pressure shown on the system identification
label or the lowest rated component in the system.
If the fluid flow rate is too low: increase air pres-
sure to component A and B fluid supplies or
increase the regulated fluid pressure.
8. Open the fluid supply valves to the
system.
If the fluid flow rate is too high: reduce the air
pressure, close the fluid manifold dose valves fur-
ther, or adjust the fluid pressure regulator.
9. Adjust the air pressure. Most appli-
cations require about 80 psi (552
kPa, 5.5 bar) air pressure to operate properly. Do
not use less than 75 psi (517 kPa, 5.2 bar).
NOTE: Pressure adjustments of each component will
vary with fluid viscosity. Start with the same fluid pres-
sure for component A and B, then adjust as needed.
10. If using a gun flush box, place the gun into the box
NOTE: Do not use the first 4-5 oz. (120-150 cc) of mate-
rial as it may not be thoroughly mixed due to alarms
while priming the system.
and close the lid. Press the Purge
key on the
Booth Control. The purge sequence automatically
starts.
12. Turn on atomizing air to the gun. Check the spray
pattern as instructed in your spray gun manual.
If the gun flush box is not used, trig-
ger the gun into a grounded metal
pail until the purge sequence is com-
plete.
NOTE: Do not allow a fluid supply tank to run empty. It
is possible for air flow in the supply line to turn gear
meters in the same manner as fluid. This can lead to the
proportioning of fluid and air that meets the ratio and tol-
erance settings of the equipment. This can further result
in spraying uncatalyzed or poorly catalyzed material.
When done purging, the Booth Control automati-
cally switches to Standby mode.
11. Adjust the flow rate.
The fluid flow rate shown on the EasyKey Status
screen is for either component A or B, depending on
which dose valve is open. The fluid supply lines on
the screen highlight to show which dose valve is
open.

15V826 Fun Flush Box Kit. See manual 312784.
3. After waiting for the 2-minute Auto Dump time the
system will run the Mix Fill Push.
NOTE: On a one-gun system the gun must be in the
GFB. On a 2-gun system both guns must be in the
GFBs.
NOTE: If the gun is not in the box the Mix Fill Push fea-
ture will not operate.
NOTE: The Mix Fill Push operation will run every time
the Potlife alarm occurs with the gun in the box. Unat-
tended systems can therefore repeatedly perform this
operation as the potlife keeps happening.
4. If one of the guns in not in the GFB, the system will
not perform any of the Mix Fill Push or Auto Dump
operations. The system will retry every 30 seconds
in case the gun is then installed in the GFB.
Mix Fill Push requires a Gun Flush Box for the gun. If
two guns are used, each requires a Fun Flush Box for
this feature to operate. The second Gun Flush Box must
be configured as a Special Output. See Configure
5. With the guns in the GFBs, the system will propor-
tion mixed material through the guns in order to
reset the potlife volume.

First Purge
•
•
•
This sequence flushes out the color with solvent,
from the color valve to the Dump A valve.
Select the First Purge Source (air, solvent, or 3rd valve)
and First Purge Time. For most applications, air is
selected.
The color change solvent valve and the Dump A
valve open during the Purge Time.
The system purges the old material from the dose
valves to the gun, using only the selected purge media
(usually air). The selected purge valve opens during the
First Purge Time and closes when the time expires.
The color change solvent valve closes when the
Purge Time expires.
Color Fill
Chop Cycle
•
•
•
This sequence fills the line with the new color all the
way to the Dump A valve.
Select the Chop Type (air/solvent or air/3rd valve) and
Chop Times.
The new color valve and the Dump A valve open
during the Fill Time.
The air purge valve opens only during the air chop
cycle, and the solvent (or 3rd valve) opens only during
the solvent chop cycle. The number of chop cycles is
determined by dividing the Total Chop Time by the sum
of the Air and Solvent Chop Times.
The new color valve and the Dump A valve close
when the Fill Time expires.
Catalyst Purge/Dump
Final Purge
•
•
•
This sequence flushes out the catalyst with solvent,
from the catalyst valve to the Dump B valve.
Select the Final Purge Source (air, solvent, or 3rd valve)
and Final Purge Time. For most applications, solvent is
selected.
The catalyst change solvent valve and the Dump B
valve open during the Purge Time.
The system fills the line with solvent from the dose
valves to the gun, using only the selected purge media
(usually solvent). The selected purge valve opens
during the Final Purge Time and closes when the time
expires.
The catalyst change solvent valve closes when the
Purge Time expires.

Repair the valve (see valve manual 312782).
Sampling valve is leaking.
Tighten or replace valve.
Flow meter fluctuations caused by pressure pulsations. Check for pressure pulsations:
1. Close all the manifold valves.
2. Turn on the circulating pumps and all the booth
equipment (such as fans and conveyors).
3. Check if the ProMix 2KS is reading any fluid flow.
4. If the ProMix 2KS shows there is fluid flow and there
are no leaks from the gun or any other seals or fit-
tings, the flow meters are probably being affected by
pressure pulsations.
5. Close the fluid shutoff valve between the fluid supply
system and the flow meter. The flow indication
should stop.
6. If necessary, install pressure regulators or a surge
tank on the fluid inlets to the ProMix 2KS to reduce
the fluid supply pressure. Contact your Graco distrib-
utor for information.
Slow actuation of component A or B valves.

E-12: CAN COMM ERROR ALARM
Cause
Solution
Communication between the Color Change Module and
the Fluid Station is interrupted.
•
Verify that all cables are connected securely and that
the Color Change and Booth Control power LEDs
turn on. If the power LED does not turn on, the prob-
lem is probably caused by a bad connection. The nut
on the connector must make at least 5 complete
turns to ensure a good connection. If the power LED
still does not light, the cable or board is bad.
•
•
Check the color change board DIP switch settings.
See the Installation manual.
Check the fluid plate board DIP switch setting. An
incorrect setting will not cause E-12 alarms, but a
correct setting will help prevent E-12 caused by elec-
trical noise. See the Installation manual.
•
Check EasyKey software version (displayed at
power up for all versions and when the lock key is
pressed for version 2.02.000 and above). If older
than 1.06.002, upgrade. Be sure to save settings
through BWI or AWI before upgrading, as they will
be erased.

•
The sticker on the color change board shows the

replace the board.
If all software versions and DIP switch settings are
correct and you still have E-12 alarms, then the sys-
tem has a bad connection, bad cable, or bad circuit
board. Use a multimeter on the CAN connectors to
test whether there is a good connection between
systems. If there is, you have a bad circuit board. If
there is not, you have a bad connector, connection,
