Description of Components / Functioning (contd.)

Solenoid valveNOTE: The solenoid valves may only be triggered or activated when theapplication head has been heated up! Failure to observe may causedamage to the nozzle stem seals in the control modules.

The solenoid valves are operated by an electronic control unit that ensuresthat the solenoid valves open and close at the right times.

Control ModuleThe control module precisely opens and closes the adhesive supply to thenozzle by pneumatically raising or lowering the nozzle stem. A compressionspring ensures that the application nozzle is closed when pressure drops,preventing adhesive from being applied.

HeatingThe application head is heated with electrical heater cartridges. Thetemperature is continuously measured by temperature sensors and iscontrolled with electronic temperature controllers.

Temperature controllers are not part of the application head.

P/N 397191B� 2005 Nordson Corporation EP 30

Compressed AirNordson recommends using dry, controlled and non-lubricated compressedair.

Operating with Non-lubricated Compressed AirWhen an application head is connected to a compressed air system inwhich the compressed air has previously been lubricated, simply ceasing tolubricate the air is not sufficient. The oil remaining in the compressed airsupply will reach the solenoid valves and the control modules and wash outthe lubricant/oil from these parts, substantially decreasing the lifetime of theunits.

NOTE: It must be ensured that the compressed air supply to the applicationheads has been converted to absolutely non-lubricated operation.

NOTE: No oil from a possible defective compressor may be permitted topenetrate the compressed air supply.

NOTE: Nordson will assume no warranty/liability for damage resulting fromunpermitted, temporary lubrication.

Conditioning Compressed AirThe quality of the compressed air must be at least class 2 as stipulated byISO 8573−1. This means:

� Max. particle size 1 �m

� Max. particle density 1 mg/m3

� Max. pressure dewpoint −40 °C / −40 °F

� Max. oil concentration 0.1mg/m3.

Pneumatic Connections1. Connect customer’s air supply to to the inlet of the air conditioning unit.

Maximum air pressure:

10 bar 1 MPa 145 psi

2. Connect control modules to the air conditioning unit.

3. Set control air pressure:

Approx. 5 to 6 bar Approx. 0.5 to 0.6 MPa Approx. 72.5 to 87 psi

NOTE: The exact pressure must be determined for each application.
