Warning!
When the air is turned on, the slide may retract. Be sure to keep your hands and
other objects clear of the slide before resetting the emergency stop.
3.
If you have not already installed the valve, do so now. See Sections 4.3.2 through 4.3.4 for
instructions.
4.
Connect the dispense valve to the product reservoir following the instructions in valve and reservoir
manuals. It may be desirable to use a ¼” tee fitting (not supplied) to split the air in to supply both the
controller for the advancing slide dispense station and the product reservoir.
5.
Turn up the pressure using the “DISPENSE PRESSURE” knob. This will be the pressure that
opens and closes the valve. To adjust the pressure, you must first unlock the black regulator knob by
pulling it away from the controller with light manual pressure. It will click when it is unlocked. To
increase the air pressure, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease the pressure, turn the knob counter
clockwise. This pressure should be set at 80 psi for most valves. Check the valve manual for the
specific actuation pressure.
6.
Turn up the air pressure
on the dispense reservoir
. This pressure will control the amount of
adhesive dispensed by the valve. If the desired pressure is unknown, start with a 5-10 psi for initial
shots and increase the pressure as necessary.
7.
Test the dispense rate by using the “PURGE” button . The purge button is only displayed when in
the “AUTO” mode. Press the left most button on the keypad to cycle through modes. When in the
“AUTO” mode, the “PURGE” button will be the button on the right.
Notice:
A receptacle should be placed under the dispense tip to capture purged product.
Notice:
Vacuum suckback should not be used when valve dispensing.
