Setpoint Temperature of the Tank, Hoses, and GunsThe melter is shipped from the factory with the tank setpoint temperature at175 C (350 F) and the hose and gun setpoint temperatures at 0 degrees(turned off).

Before the melter can be used, a setpoint temperature must be assigned tothe tank, hoses, and guns. Assign setpoint temperatures using any of thefollowing methods:S Global—The tank and all hoses and guns are set to the same setpoint

temperature.S Global-by-component group—All of the hoses or all of the guns are set

to the same setpoint temperature.S Individual Component—The setpoint temperature of the tank and each

hose and gun is set individually.Since most manufacturing processes will require the tank, hoses, and gunsto be set to the same temperature, only the global method of assigningsetpoint temperatures is described in this section. For information about theother two methods of assigning setpoint temperatures, refer to AdjustingComponent Temperatures in Section 4, Operation.

As with operating parameters, you can also review past changes that weremade to setpoint temperatures.

More about Heated ComponentsThe melter contains three groups of heated components. These are the tankgroup, which contains the tank and the pump, the hose group, and the gungroup. Component groups are represented on the control panel by thecomponent keys shown to the left.

Heated components within each group are identified by their positionnumber. The position of the tank and pump is fixed at 1. Hose and gunposition numbers are automatically assigned based on the hose/gunreceptacle they are connected to. For example, the position numbers of ahose/gun pair that is connected to the second receptacle would be hoseposition 2 and gun position 2.

NOTE: In some installations, auxiliary devices (such as a heated airmanifold) may be connected to a hose/gun receptacle. In such cases, youshould label (or otherwise identify) the auxiliary device as to the hose or gunposition number that represents the device. The control panel will identifysuch devices as a hose or gun, regardless of what the device actually is.

Using Melter Function KeysThe control panel provides the following standard and special function keys:

Standard function keysS HeaterS PumpS SetupSpecial function keysS Seven-day clockS Standby

CAUTION: Unintentionally activating function keys can, under thecorrect circumstances, have undesirable effects on the melter or themanufacturing process. Only personnel who are familiar with the melter’ssetup should use the function keys. Improper use of the function keys canresult in erratic process behavior or personal injury.

Heater KeyUse the heater key to manually turn the component heaters on andoff. Pressing the heater key overrides the control (on or off) of the heaters bythe seven-day clock feature. The LED on the heater key illuminates when theheaters are on.

When a fault occurs (refer toMonitor Melter Faults earlier in this section) theheaters automatically turn off. The heater key is used to turn the heaters backon after correcting a fault condition.

Pump KeyUse the pump key to enable, start, and stop the pump. When a triggeredhandgun is connected to the melter, pressing the pump key enables thepump so that it can turn on when the trigger is activated. When the pump isenabled and waiting for a trigger signal, the pump LED is yellow. When thepump is running, the LED is green.

If the automatic pump on feature (parameter 8) is disabled, then thepump key must be used to start the pump when the melter is ready.

Setup key

Seven-day clock key

Operation4-24

Part 1093491A03

Setup KeyUse the setup key to place the melter into and take the melter out ofthe setup mode. When the melter is placed into the setup mode, theautomatic scan stops and the left and right displays are used to select andread or edit operating parameters.

Seven-day Clock KeyUse the seven-day clock key to turn the melter's clock feature on and off.When the clock is on, the temperature of each heated component isautomatically regulated based on a set of user-defined schedules.

To accommodate daily shift work and non-working days, fourclock schedules are available. Schedules 1, 2, and 3 are used to specifywhen the heaters should turn on and off or when the melter should enter andexit the standby mode. Schedule 0 is used to keep the melter in the lastcondition dictated by the clock (heaters on or off, or standby).

When a clock schedule calls for the heaters to be on, the heatersare regulated at their pre-assigned setpoint temperatures. When theclock activates the standby mode, the setpoint temperature of eachcomponent is temporarily reduced by a pre-set standby delta.

Refer to Appendix B, Operating Parameters, Seven-day Clock, forinformation about setting up the seven-day clock and the standby delta.

If the melter is switched off while the clock is on,the clock will automatically turn back on the nexttime the melter is switched back on.

If the heaters are manually turned off at the timethat a clock schedule calls for the heaters to beon, the heaters will not turn back on until the nextclock schedule calls for them to be on.

The clock will still operate when the melteris faulting or is in the setup mode.

If F4 appears in the right display when you pressthe clock key, the internal clock function hasfailed.

Section 7, Troubleshooting

Standby key

Operation 4-25

Part 1093491A03

Standby KeyUse the standby key to manually place the melter into, and take it out of, thestandby mode. Using the standby mode during periods of time whenthe melter is inactive helps conserve energy and allows heated componentsto quickly return to their setpoint temperatures when the melter is once againneeded.

When the melter is placed into the standby mode, the temperatures ofall components are reduced down from their setpoint temperature by apre-set standby delta. The melter will remain in the standby mode until thestandby key is pressed or the function of one of the operating parameterstakes the melter out of the standby mode.

If the melter was set up to use the manual standby timer(parameter 26), pressing the standby key will place the melter in the standbymode for the period of time specified by the timer. After the manual standbytime has elapsed, the melter will once again begin heating all of thecomponents to their assigned setpoint temperature.

Using the standby key overrides the control of the melter (on or off) bythe seven-day clock or a remote input.

Refer to Section 3, Installation, Setting Up the Melter, and to Appendix B,Operating Parameters, for information about setting the standby delta andthe standby timer.

The melter may also be set up to automaticallyenter the standby mode using a variety ofoperating parameters.

Appendix B, Parameters 25, 26, 57, 62,and 67

Troubleshooting6-6

Part 1093491A03

Using the Troubleshooting Flow ChartThe flowchart, which is provided at the end of this section, is designed toassist you in diagnosing and correcting a complete or partial stop in hot meltoutput from the guns. The chart is organized in a simple question-actionblock format. If your response to a question is yes (Y), continue downward inthe chart to the next question or action block. If you response is no (N),continue to the right to the next question or action block. All diagnostic pathswithin the chart end with an action block that specifies one of the followingthree courses of action:S Refer to information provided elsewhere in this manualS Replace a componentS Complete a diagnostic procedure (DP.x)

To return your melter to service as quickly as possible, the chart is designedunder the assumption that it is preferable to immediately replace a faultyassembly as opposed to conducting detailed diagnostics and repair of theassembly while the melter is out of service.

Use of the chart assumes that the melter is installed correctly and that it is setup to support the current manufacturing process. Refer to Section 3,Installation, for information about installing and setting up the melter.

Troubleshooting Quick-checksBefore using the troubleshooting charts confirm:S whether or not service was recently performed on the melter or the

melter's settings were recently adjusted.S the standby or clock functions are not turned on (if not required or

expected at the current time).

Calculating Melter Power Requirements A-1


Appendix ACalculating Melter Power Requirements

Before locating the melter on the production floor or attaching hoses andguns to the melter, you must calculate the electrical power required by thehoses and guns and confirm that the required power does not exceedmaximum allowable wattages. Properly calculating melter powerrequirements will prevent damage to the melter and identify the maximumallowable distance between the melter and the point at which the hot melt isdispensed.

The following three maximum wattages must be considered when calculatingmelter power requirements.S Single-component maximum—The wattage of any single hose or

gunS Hose/gun pair maximum—The combined wattage of any hose and

gun (hose/gun pair)S Two hose/gun pair maximum—The combined wattage of hose/gun

pairs 1 and 2If your Nordson representative has already calculated the hose/gun powerrequirements and confirmed that the maximum allowable wattages will not beexceeded, then no further calculation is necessary. However, you shouldre-evaluate the hose and gun power requirements before you:S add a new hose or gun to the melter that was not factored into the

original wattage evaluationS replace an existing hose with a higher wattage hose or an existing

gun with a higher wattage gun

Calculating Melter Power RequirementsA-2


To evaluate the hose/gun power requirements

1. Identify all hose/gun pairs based on the hose/gun receptacle to whichthey are connected.

2. Examine the identification tag or plate on each hose and gun and recordthe wattage of each in Column A of Table A-1. Enter a zero for any hoseor gun that is not installed.

3. Add the wattages of each hose/gun pair and place the sum in Column Bof Table A-1.

4. Add the wattages of hose/gun pairs 1 and 2 and place the sum in ColumnC of Table A-1.

5. Compare each of the wattages tabulated in Columns A, B, and C of TableA-1 with the associated maximum allowable wattages in Table A-2 for240 VAC melters or Table A-3 for 120 VAC melters.

6. Do one of the following:S If each of the wattages calculated in step 5 do not exceed the

associated maximum allowable wattages listed in Tables A-2 andA-3, then the power required by the hoses and guns is withinacceptable limits.

S If any of the wattages calculated in step 5 does exceed an associatedmaximum allowable wattage listed in Tables A-2 and A-3, then theconfiguration or position of the hose/gun pairs must be rearranged,shorter hoses must be used, or lower power guns must be used inorder to reduce the power requirement.
