Technical Note
This is a guide to help prepare the X-Series Dispensers (X-SMART / X-PROTINT) to normal operation after a
prolonged period of non-use.
Before trying to dispense colorant, please follow the steps below:
Tools
•
Paper towel / cloth / wet wipes for cleaning and/or to remove dried colorants
•
Anti mould spray if appropriate
•
Gloves and/or any other personal protective equipment recommended by site, employer, etc.
Procedure
1.
Press E-Stop button on the dispenser
2.
Check if the brush is clean, and that there is correct amount of cleaning liquid (water / solvent) in the
brush container
3.
Visually check the pump nozzles one by one. Wipe with a wet cloth / paper towel to ensure the
nozzles are clean
4.
Open the canister lid one by one and check the colorant condition. If colorant is hardened, thickened
or mould has grown, take appropriate actions. You may need to contact the colorant supplier / paint
supplier for further instructions
5.
If dispenser is not connected to the power, connect to the power supply
6.
Release the E-Stop button on the dispenser
7.
Start up the PC if not yet done
8.
Start up the dispenser software (e.g. PrismaPro). This should initialise the dispenser, and turn table
should turn one or two times
9.
After the initialization, the dispenser will automatically start agitation. If not, start agitation from the
dispenser software (NOTE: for X-PROTIN, the front door needs to be closed to for agitation to initiate.
Once agitation starts, then you can open the top cover to check if the stirrers are turning)
10.
While dispenser is agitating, open the canister lid one by one and check if the stirrer blades are
turning.
a.
If none of the stirrer is turning, the agitation did not start successfully. You may need to
consult with your service contact
b.
If some stirrers are turning but others are not, stirrer may be damaged, or some other issues
exist. You may be able to replace the stirrer if readily available or take other actions. You
may need to consult with your service contact.
11.
From the dispenser software, go to the fill canister option, and check each canister to ensure
sufficient amount of colorant is in the canister, and that the software reflects the correct amount
