DYNAMINI ASU Manual #20-25
Typical Start-Up and Shut Down of the DYNAMINI Application System
Start Up Procedures
1. Fill the ASU’s hopper with clean hot-melt adhesive as described on page 3-4. Close the
hopper lid immediately to prevent contaminants from falling in. (Cover your bulk supply of
adhesive to prevent contaminants also.)
2. At the control panel, turn ON the Main Power Switch. The controller will perform its initial
calibration cycle. The display will read “CAL”. Each of the five temperature zone’s LEDs will
flash as a lamp test.
3. Program your adhesive setpoints (see instructions on page 5-2) or use the factory settings listed
below. Allow adequate time (approximately 20-30 min.) for the adhesive to melt and the
temperatures of the temperature zones to stabilize.
Note:
When the ASU leaves the ITW Dynatec factory, it is programmed with the following
factory settings (unless special factory settings were requested):
Hopper:
150
°
C (300
°
F)
Hose:
177
°
C (350
°
F)
Applicator: 177
°
C (350
°
F)
Sequential Startup: ON
4. Once the ASU has reached temperature, turn ON the Pump ON/ OFF Switch. The ASU will
begin to pump adhesive.
5. a.
On piston pump units
: use the air pressure regulator, located at the rear of the ASU, to
regulate adhesive output.
b.
On gear pump units:
use the pressure relief valve, located on the filter outlet manifold, to
regulate adhesive output.
Shut Down Procedures
1. Turn OFF the Pump Switch.
2
.
Turn OFF the Main Power Switch.
