� Set the key‐to‐line input according to the signal type you are using

(4-20 mA or 0-10 V).

� Adjust the set‐point temperature of the applicator to a maximum of

85 C (365 F).

� Set the motor speed to 50 percent.

� Set the system pressure to 400-600 psi (27.6-41.7 bar).

Module mounting screws



Test and Adjust the System 1. Bring the melter/applicators up to set point temperature.

NOTE: Check the adhesive MSDS to ensure that you do not exceed themaximum recommended operating temperature for the adhesive.

2. Ensure that all of the module mounting screws are secure.

3. Place a pan or box under the applicator nozzles to catch adhesive.

4. Cycle the purge switch on the HD4A applicator driver to check if adhesiveflows out of the applicator and cuts off cleanly when the applicator closes.

There should be little or no adhesive build‐up between the nozzles andno stringing or angle hair.

If the adhesive cut‐off is not clean, raise the temperature of all channelsby 12 �C (54 �F ). When all channel temperatures stabilize, again cyclethe the HD4A applicator driver and observe the adhesive cut‐off.

5. Continue testing until the cut‐off is clean.

6. Run the line to position a carton under the applicator so that the leadingedge of the carton flap is just under the nozzle plate.

7. Confirm that the carton flaps are parallel with the skid plate.

If the flaps are not parallel with the skid plate, adjust the height of theapplicator. Refer to Adjust the Applicator to the Manufacturing Line,presented earlier.

If the applicator is too low, it can distort the carton, tear the carton flaps.or distort the adhesive pattern.

If the applicator is too high, the outside portion of the adhesive pattern willbe clean and the inside portion of the pattern will be distorted.

8. Operate the line to apply adhesive to five cartons—stopping the line justbefore the last carton folds.

9. Check the adhesive pattern. If the pattern is not correct, refer to Adjustthe SureSeal Adhesive Pattern.



Adjust the SureSeal Adhesive Pattern It may be necessary to adjust one or more of the following system variablesto achieve a correct and repeatable SureSeal adhesive pattern.

� Application temperature (affects adhesive viscosity)

� Timing settings on the EPC‐30

� Horizontal and vertical positioning of the applicator
