0016rs75.jpg (56203 bytes) The CS33A controls three paint and three bead guns

Key Features:

Three guns for paint, three guns for beads.

Quartz controlled time and distance delays for accurate line lengths and perfect paint/bead alignment at any speed.

Four built-in footage counters.

Premark system for line premarking and job surveys.

Select English or Metric without recalibration, even while painting.

Fast, easy electronic calibration with built in pulse multiplication.

Precision speedometer is built-in.

Cycle-Track™ and Cycle-Lock™ ease retracing.

Automatic skip clock reset on skipline start.

Fast cycle change while painting.

Power off memory for all settings and accumulated data.

Easy-to-use menus for all settings.

Illuminated display for nighttime use.

Short circuit protected outputs with warning message.

Open solenoid circuit warning on display.



Specifications:

Power Input:   11-18 Volts DC, negative ground, 0.5 amperes plus solenoid draw. Fully protected against reverse polarity and voltage spikes.

Solenoid Outputs:  3 outputs for paint solenoids, 3 outputs for beads solenoids, each rated at 2 amperes, switching to ground. 5 ampere fuse supplied. Total draw not to exceed 8 amperes (fuse must be replaced for 8 ampere draw).

Sender Input: Inputs for zero-speed (NPN open collector) or self-generating (near-zero-speed) senders.  Power is supplied (12v) for zero speed senders.

Maximum operating speed: 40 MPH (64 km/hr).  Speed is generally limited by valve speed, control hose length and paint delivery rate.

Minimum operating speed: 0 MPH with zero-speed senders, 0.1 MPH with near-zero-speed senders.  When used with internal pulse multiplication of X4 or greater, minimum speed is 1.7 MPH (2.7 km/hr).

Timers: Time delays for Paint On, Paint Off, Beads On, and Beads Off (all 0 to 0.5 sec). One distance delay for the bead guns (0 to 5 ft (1.5m). These timers allow precise compensation of gun activation and release delays for precise line lengths and perfect bead alignment.

Front Panel: Switches are heavy-duty military standard sealed toggle switches. The display is a 16-character by two line illuminated alpha-numeric LCD. Pushbuttons are long-life sealed membrane switches.

Footage Range: Paint and cycle may be set in increments of 0.1 ft. (0.03m) from 1 ft. (0.304m) to 999.9 ft. (304.8m).

Footage Counters: One for each paint line and one odometer (total travel), with a maximum reading of 1,677,721.5 ft (511,369.5m). One footage totalizer for paint line lengths. Counters are individually resettable to zero.

Power-off Memory: Stores all settings and accumulated data. This memory is automatically updated when power is turned off, and requires no power or batteries for maintenance.

Temperature Range: 32ºF to 130ºF (0ºC to 55ºC). The effect of temperature on accuracy is too small to measure.

Cable supplied: 15 feet (4.5m) in each of four branches (Power, Sender, Centerline Solenoid, Edgeline Solenoid). Cables to any length are available for nominal additional charge.

The CS33A cabinet is heavy cast aluminum, painted with a semi-flat textured epoxy enamel that is water and solvent resistant.  The panel is non-glare polycarbonate, screened on the reverse side for long life. The CS33A is supplied with a steel mounting yoke with adjustable hand knobs for convenient mounting.
