15 Description Functioning The functioning of the unit is described here. The operation of the individual components is described in the manual for the component (refer to Index of Documentation). Melting Process and Hot Melt Material Supply The adhesive is placed in the tank. There it is heated to the processing temperature stated by the manufacturer or to the temperature set by the user. The melted material flows to the gear pump. The gear pump driven by a motor feeds the material to the hose connection fitting. From here the material flows through the heated hose to the hot melt material application head or to the hot melt material handgun. Motor The motor (in this case a torque motor) drives the gear pump (also refer to manual Motor). NOTE: Torque motors function in a special way. They do not run constantly at a set speed; instead their purpose is to supply torque at standstill or at any partial speed. In practice this means that the motor comes to a standstill when the nozzle of an adhesive application head is closed and begins operation again when the nozzle is opened. Because of this, the safety valve that is standard on Nordson adhesive application units is not part of this unit (also refer to Safety Valve [Option] ). NOTE: The motor is first ready for operation when the undertemperature locking device has been released or when the unit has almost reached the set nominal value temperature. NOTE: The motor can also be turned on/off externally (refer to section Installation and Wiring Diagram). Gear Pump The gear pump, which is driven by a motor, feeds the adhesive to the hose connection fitting or to the unit outlet (also refer to manual Gear Pump). NOTE: Nordson gear pumps may not be operated without hot melt material. Before switching on the motor, make sure the tank is filled. Safety Valve (Option) This unit is equipped with a torque motor. Thus for technical reasons a safety valve is not necessary. On this unit the optional safety valve serves as a pressure control valve for setting and stabilizing the desired adhesive pressure. NOTE: The lead sealing described in the manual Safety Valve is omitted when the safety valve is used as a pressure control valve.

16 2-6 Description Heating and Temperature Control The melting zone is heated with cast in heating elements. They provide optimal heat conduction and energy utilization. The temperature is measured by sensors and regulated electronically by the temperature controller. Undertemperature Locking Device The undertemperature locking device prevents the unit or system from starting up when the hot melt material is too cold. It is activated until the nominal temperature value minus undertemperature value has been exceeded. On initial heating of the unit, the locking device is first released when the actual temperature is 3 C below the nominal value temperature. The undertemperature locking device locks the motors, solenoid valves and, in some cases, other components of the hot melt material application system. Refer to the wiring diagram to determine which components are locked. Overtemperature indication / shutdown The independently operating overtemperature shutdown mechanisms protect the unit and adhesive from overheating. For overtemperature shutdown, the heating and motor are switched off. The red indication lamp collective fault lights up. Overtemperature indication through temperature controller: Switches relay output collective fault when setpoint temperature value plus overtemperature value has been reached and the red indication lamp lights up. The unit remains ready for operation. Overtemperature shutdown through temperature controller: The overtemperature shutdown value is set automatically 30 C above the highest temperature setpoint value. Overtemperature shutdown through thermostat(s): Serves as an emergency switch OFF in case the overtemperature shutdown of the temperature controller does not function properly. Refer to section Specification for shutdown value. NOTE: Depending on the adhesive used, the overtemperature thermostats of the tank and possibly of the optional can receptacle may need to be adapted to the maximum processing temperature of the adhesive (This may mean that the overtemperature thermostats have need to be replaced). However, the switchoff value of the thermostat may not exceed the max. operating temperature of the unit! For thermostats see section Specifications. WARNING: When the overtemperature shutdown is triggered, there is either a fault in settings or unit malfunction. Switch off the unit and have the fault eliminated by qualified personnel. Temperature Setback Serves to protect the hot melt material and save energy during interruptions in production or work stoppages. Setback value and setback period are adjustable.

17 Description 2-7 Inert Gas Equipment See also manual Inert Gas Equipment and manual Temperature Controllers. CAUTION: Use only suitable inert gas. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet of the material or contact the material supplier. The inert gas prevents the material in the tank from reacting with humidity. It displaces the air in the tank and thus protects the material from an undesired reaction which may cause the material to harden sooner than it should. Inert gases are e.g. nitrogen (N) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The advantage of carbon dioxide is that it is heavier than air and literally floats on top of the material in the tank. NOTE: A diaphragm compressed air dryer, including preceding high performance compressed air filter, for conditioning compressed air such that it can be used as inert gas, can be purchased from Nordson. The inert gas supply is carried out: Automatically during operation as set on the Control System (inert gas injection interval and duration of injection). Automatically after the tank hood is closed. The duration of injection can be set on a timer relay. Manually by pressing the Purge button as an additional Inert gas flush, e.g. when the tank has been filled. An empty gas bottle is indicated by the lighted symbol Inert gas bottle empty. CAUTION: When the main switch is set to 0/OFF, the inert gas equipment is turned off and the tank is deaerated. This can lead to hardening of the adhesive in the tank (Also refer to Daily Shutdown).

33 Operation Operating Elements All of the operating elements are described in Section 2, Description. 3. Setting Temperatures Refer to manual Temperature Controllers. NOTE: Processing temperature is also referred to in the description of the Control System as nominal value temperature. NOTE: The temperature setting is determined by the processing temperature prescribed by the hot melt material supplier. Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature of the unit or heated system components. Nordson assumes no guarantee and/or liability for damage caused by incorrect temperature settings. NOTE: Depending on the adhesive used, the overtemperature thermostats of the tank and possibly of the optional can receptacle may need to be adapted to the maximum processing temperature of the adhesive (This may mean that the overtemperature thermostats have need to be replaced). The switchoff value of the thermostat may not exceed the max. operating temperature of the unit! For thermostats see section Specifications. General Values Heating zone / Temperature / Time The values in the table are general values for temperature settings.

Setting Inert Gas Control Refer to manual Temperature controllers.

34 4-4 Operation 5. Setting Adhesive Output Quantity The amount of adhesive necessary (application weight) depends on the customer s hot melt material deposit and must be determined through experimentation. Without Pressure Control Valve The adhesive output quantity or the torque is set with the torque controller (9, Fig 2 2) within a range of 0 to 100 %. The selected setting should be locked in to avoid accidental resetting. NOTE: Torque motors function in a special way. They do not run constantly at a set speed; instead their purpose is to supply torque at standstill or at any partial speed. In practice this means that the motor comes to a standstill when the nozzle of an adhesive application head is closed and begins operation again when the nozzle is opened. With Pressure Control Valve (Option) On units that are equipped with the optional safety valve used on this unit as a pressure control valve a more even adhesive output quantity can be set. The pressure control valve (20, Fig 2 1) is located between the tank and the gear pump. Setting range 0 to 7.0 MPa 0 to 70 bar 0 to 1015 psi Factory setting 3.5 MPa 35 bar 508 psi Turning to the right Turning to the left Increases adhesive pressure / output quantity Decreases adhesive pressure / output quantity 1. Set torque controller to the necessary value. 2. Set the pressure control valve such that the motor speed remains nearly stable when the application head nozzle is closed. 3. Alternately set the torque controller and the pressure control valve in order to set the adhesive output quantity as evenly as possible. 4. Lock torque controller.

43 Maintenance External Cleaning External cleaning prevents pollution created by production from causing unit malfunctions. CAUTION: Observe the unit s Degree of Protection when cleaning (see Specifications). CAUTION: Do not damage or remove warning signs. Damaged or removed warning signs must be replaced by new ones. Only remove hot melt material residues with a cleaning agent recommended by the hot melt material supplier. Pre heat with an air heater if necessary. Vacuum up dust, fluffs etc. or remove them with a soft cloth. 5. Inspection for External Damage WARNING: When damaged parts pose a risk to the operational safety of the unit and/or safety of personnel, switch off the unit and have the damaged parts replaced by qualified personnel. Use only original Nordson spare parts. 6. Electrical Cabinet Fan Maintenance The electrical cabinet fan is maintenance free. The filter may have to be cleaned or replaced depending on dust emission. A dirty filter can be recognized by its dark color. Clean the filter by tapping out the dirt.

44 5-4 Maintenance 7. Changing Hot Melt Material Type Remove the old material from the unit by operating until empty or draining from the unit. NOTE: Before changing the material type, determine whether the old and new hot melt materials can be mixed. If mixing is possible: Residues of the old material can be flushed out using the new material. If mixing is not possible: Thoroughly flush the unit with a cleaning agent recommended by the hot melt material supplier. NOTE: Ensure proper disposal of the old hot melt material according to local regulations. Flushing with a Cleaning Agent CAUTION: Only use a cleaning agent recommended by the hot melt material supplier. Observe the Material Safety Data Sheet of the cleaning agent. Residues of the cleaning agent can be flushed out of the unit by the new hot melt material before production begins. NOTE: Ensure proper disposal of the cleaning agent according to local regulations.

49 Troubleshooting 6-1 Section 6 Troubleshooting WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. WARNING: Some troubleshooting activities may have to be carried out when the unit is energized. Observe all safety regulations concerning energized parts (active parts). Failure to observe can result in electric shock. 1. Temperature Controller The temperature controller offers the following troubleshooting aids which are described in the manual Temperature Controllers: Indication lamps Diagnosis program Automatic fault display LEDs on the modules and boards 2. Helpful Tips Before beginning with systematic troubleshooting activities, check the following points: Are all parameters correctly set? Do all plug connections have sufficient contact? Have fuses been activated? Are external, inductive loads (e.g. solenoid valves) equipped with freewheeling diodes? The freewheeling diodes must be directly allocated to the inductive load, e.g. through luminous sealings. 3. Safety Valve The safety valve mentioned in some of the charts is an option and is used in this unit as a pressure control valve.

50 6-2 Troubleshooting 4. Indication Lamps The indication lamps show the following operating modes: Red (15) = Collective fault indication. The red lamp indicates that the temperature controller has recognized a fault. See troubleshooting table Red indication lamp is lit. White (14) = Switched ON. After switching on and during the heating phase, at first only the white indication lamp is lit (normal condition). A fault has first occurred when the temperature does not increase (observe temperature display) and when the green indication lamp is not lit after the heating phase has ended (1 hour and longer). See troubleshooting table Only the white indication lamp is lit. Green (13) = Ready for operation. The green indication lamp lights when all channels have reached their nominal value temperatures C F XXCO082L065B0199 Fig. 6-1 (For position numbers see also manual Temperature Controller)

51 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Tables The troubleshooting tables serve as an orientation for qualified personnel. They cannot, however, replace targeted troubleshooting with the help of wiring diagrams and measuring instruments.
