Adhesive FlowThe melter pumps the adhesive through heated hoses to the applicator. Inthe applicator the material flows through the filter cartridges and the controlmodules to the surface nozzle. The nozzle applies the adhesive to thesubstrate. The nozzle has contact to the substrate.
A pressure sensor (accessory) monitors the pressure in the applicator.
Motor-driven Application Width Adjustment
Motors turn the spindles of the two pistons with the sliding plates. The slidingplates are guided into the nozzle application slot. Material escapes onlybetween the sliding plates.
Slide assembly(piston with sliding plate)
The application width can also be adjusted during application. The two sidescan be set continuously and independently of one another.
The minimum and maximum application width depend on the applicator(Refer to series overview). The number in the type designation indicates themaximum application width in mm.
NOTE: For longer breaks in production, the slides can be pushed together tothe minimum application width.
Filter CartridgeA filter cartridge prevents any impurities that the adhesive may contain fromgetting into the applicator. The adhesive flows from the inside of the filtercartridge to the outside. Thus dirt particles remain in the filter cartridge.
HeatingThe applicator is heated with electrical heater cartridges.
The heater cartridges form several zones. The temperature of each heatingzone is continuously measured by a temperature sensor and regulated by atemperature controller, usually located in the electrical cabinet of the melter.

P/N 7179884_02� 2014 Nordson Corporation TC-FS Gen.2
Control Modules
The electropneumatic control modules open and close the adhesive supplyto the nozzle by raising or lowering the nozzle stems. A compression springensures that the control module outlet is closed when control air pressuredrops, preventing adhesive from being applied.
Control Box
The control box provides the voltage supply to the applicator motors andsolenoid valves, and it serves as the connection to the operating unit. Alsorefer to control box wiring diagram.
Enable Solenoid Valves
The customer's control system must supply the signal Enable solenoidvalves as soon as production begins.
Interface Motor Enable / Operating Modes (XS2)
The melter supplies the signal Enable motors when all of the applicatorheating zones have reached their setpoint temperatures.
The piston can be adjusted only when the signal is received by the controlbox (contact closed). This prevents damage to seals from adhesive that isstill too cold.
Optional Field Bus Interface
The field bus interface is used to exchange data between the applicator andthe customer's control system. Refer to separate manual Field Bus onNordson Applicators.
Enable solenoid valves: In addition to the signal from the customer's controlsystem, bit 2 of Control also has to be set on the field bus.
Enable motors: In addition to the signal from the melter, bit 1 of Control alsohas to be set on the field bus.
Optional Grammage Control
Line Speed Input XS5Line Speed Output per Motor/Pump XS5.1 + XS5.2
Operating Unit
The operating unit contains an industrial PC (IPC) to control the applicator.
The applicator is essentially operated via the control panel (1) on theoperating unit. The control panel is a touch screen.

Heat Transfer and Heat Expansion
The applicator is secured with fastening bolts (1, Fig 6). The spacer boltsensure less heat transfer between the applicator and the bracket.
If the applicator is secured differently than intended, find a different way toensure heat insulation between the applicator and the bracket.
At 200 °C, heat expansion of the 1400 applicator is approx. 3.5 mm. So threeof the four fastening bolts should be fastened such as to be mobile in thedirection of applicator operation.

Connecting Pressure SensorNordson's intention is to integrate the measuring head into the cableharness.
If the measuring head is to be attached to a different place, the maximumambient temperature (-30 to +105 °C / -22 to +220 °F) must be observed.Ensure that the capillaries (arrow) are positioned such that they cannot bedamaged.
1. Connect the power cable to the melter (Refer to Fig. 11).
2. Refer to Calibration.
The pressure sensor supplies an analog output signal of 0 to 10 Volt.
Screwing In
� Apply high temperature grease to the thread (Refer to Processing
Materials�).
� If a brass washer has been or will be inserted, refer to Fig. 14.
� The sensor should only be screwed into an absolutely clean hole.
� The counterpart and the pressure sensor should be at room temperatureor at close to the same temperature before the pressure sensor isscrewed into place.
� Do not jam when screwing in (Strong resistance should not be felt).
Refer to Fig. 13: top wrong, bottom correct, because the screw plug (2) isused as a guide for the separating membrane (1).
� Recommended installation torque: 13.6 Nm / 120 lbinMax. installation torque permitted: 56 Nm / 500 lbin.
Fig. 13 Top wrong - bottom right
When a Brass Washer Has Been or Will Be Used
In addition to the instructions under Screwing In, observe the following:
� The brass washer seals by deforming. When removing the pressuresensor, ensure that the old brass washer is extracted from the bore.
� Use a new brass washer when inserting the pressure sensor. Insert thebrass washer as shown in the illustration.

CalibrationIf calibration is to be performed by the software, do not execute the followingsteps. In this case follow the calibration instructions in the melter manual.
Calibration Using Magnetic Pin
CAUTION: Calibrate the pressure sensor only when it is heated to operatingtemperature.
The pressure sensor has a magnetic contact in the measuring head. Whenthe magnetic pin touches the contact (see label, Fig. 15), various functionsare activated. The length of time that the pin touches the contact determineswhich functions are activated.
Fig. 15
Calibrating the Zero Point
Zero point calibration works only when the equipment is depressurized (0 to10% of the pressure sensor measuring range end value).
Calibration to 0 V
Hold the magnetic pin to the label for 1 to 10 seconds.
The pressure sensor zero point is calibrated to 0 V.
Fine Calibration
1. Hold the magnetic pin to the label for 10 to 30 seconds.
2. Remove the magnetic pin.
The offset can be set between �100 mV. The signal changes 6 mV persecond.
3. To stop, touch the label briefly with the magnetic pin.
NOTE: If the temperature deviates more than 10 °C from the temperature atwhich calibration was performed, Nordson recommends calibrating anew.
Resetting Zero Point
Hold the magnetic pin to the label for 30 to 60 seconds.
This resets the zero point to the factory‐set default; the end value remainsunchanged.
The default value can be found on the pressure sensor ID plate.

P/N 7179884_02 � 2014 Nordson CorporationTC-FS Gen.2
Resetting Zero Point and End Value to Default
Hold the magnetic pin to the label for longer than 60 seconds.
The default value can be found on the pressure sensor ID plate.
Screwing Out
ATTENTION: Hot! Risk of burns. Wear heat-protective gloves.
ATTENTION: Relieve melter/system of pressure before unscrewing thepressure sensor. Failure to observe can result in serious burns.
CAUTION: If the material bore is to be cleaned with a sharp object, firstremove the pressure sensor to prevent damage to the separating membrane.
CAUTION: The melter part and the pressure sensor must be at operatingtemperature when the pressure sensor is removed. Otherwise the separatingmembrane could tear.

Pneumatic Connections
Operation with Nonlubricated Compressed Air
When an applicator is connected to a compressed air system in which thecompressed air has previously been lubricated, simply ceasing to lubricatethe air is not sufficient. The oil remaining in the compressed air supply willreach the solenoid valves and the control modules and wash out the originallubricant/oil from these parts, substantially decreasing the service life of theunits.
To operate with non-lubricated compressed air, ensure that:
� The system has been converted to absolutely non-lubricated operation
� No oil from a possibly defective compressor can penetrate thecompressed air supply.
NOTE: Nordson will assume no warranty or liability for damage caused byunpermitted, temporary lubrication.
Conditioning Compressed Air
The quality of the compressed air must be at least class 2 as stipulated byISO 8573-1. This means:

Connecting Heated Hose
Using Second Open-end Wrench
Use a second open-end wrench when connecting and disconnecting theheated hose. This prevents the hose connection on the unit from turning.
If cold adhesive can be found in the hose connection, these components (1,2) must be heated until the adhesive softens (approx. 70 °C/158 °F,depending on the adhesive).
CAUTION: Nordson melters are usually subjected to extensive testing priorto shipment. There may be some of the test material, similar to adhesive, leftin the hose connection.
Connecting
ATTENTION: Hot! Risk of burns. Wear heat-protective gloves.
1. First connect the hose (3) electrically.
2. Heat applicator and hose until the adhesive softens.
3. Screw on heated hose.

Operation
ATTENTION: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks.Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all otherrelated documentation.
Polyurethane Application Materials (PUR)
It is imperative that the following guidelines are followed when processingpolyurethane application materials (PUR):
� Wear respiratory protection when the maximum permissibleconcentration of hazardous substances is exceeded.
� Reduce the temperature during production interruptions or breaksthroughout the day. Seal the nozzle slot with aluminum tape.
CAUTION: The adhesive tape is not compatible with every PURadhesive. Test it first.
If PUR adhesives are used that react quickly, a nozzle slot cover can beordered to close the nozzle slot for a few hours during brief productionstandstill. Refer to System Plans and Accessories (Examples) / NozzleSlot Cover (Accessory)
� Moving the slides together to reduce the application width is also a formof cleaning.
� When PUR adhesive is used, it must be prevented from reacting to thethermal load in the applicator. The applicator must be purged every daywhen work is completed. Set to the maximum width during purging. Rinseout cleaning agent just before beginning production again.
CAUTION: The motor has a torque limit. Unintentional stopping duringwidth adjustment may indicate that the slide is blocked (e.g. by charredmaterial). To prevent damage, do not continue to attempt to adjust thewidth. Proceed as described under Disassembling and Cleaning Nozzle.
� Before prolonged standstill of the application system, purge with asuitable cleaning agent. Use only a cleaning agent recommended by theadhesive manufacturer.
� Close open adhesive connections, e.g. hose connections, airtight.

b. With the pump switched off, go to the maximum application width(maintenance position).
c. Clean the screw (1), spindle (2) and nozzle slot (3) on both sides ofthe surface nozzle.
d. Purge at the maximum application width at high speed (withgrammage control: 50 % of Maximum pump speed threshold value)until the adhesive flows out free of bubbles and clots. Switch thepump off again.
If the adhesive supplier does not recommend otherwise and especially whenPUR adhesives are used, do not continue until right before the nextproduction:
6. With the pump off, reduce to the production application width.
7. Purge the system (melter, hose, applicator) with the material currently inuse to flush out the cleaning agent; continue until the adhesive flows outfree of bubbles and clots.
8. Switch off the pump and clean the outside of the nozzles.
NOTE: Properly dispose of the cleaning agent according to localregulations.

The ACTUAL value will deviate from the desired application widthdepending on the manufacturing tolerance and heat expansion.
6. Divide the ACTUAL value by 2 and enter the result for each slide in thecontrol panel screen.

Second Position Calibration for Each Slide Individually
Now the application width can be adjusted using setpoints. Refer to SettingApplication Section, Rough Adjustment.
Example Application width (SETPOINT): 1200 mm (600 per display)
ACTUAL distance from nozzle edge: XMotor1: 151 mm
ACTUAL distance from nozzle edge: XMotor2: 155 mm
The greater the application width discrepancy to the first position calibration, themore precise is the adjustment.

What Does the Software Do With the Values?
As a result of the first position calibration, the actual value [ACTUAL:2]became the reference point for further internal calculations. The theoreticalvalue is now the actual value.
However, the actual spindle pitch can deviate from the theoretical pitchsaved in the software, either because of heat expansion or manufacturingtolerances.
The second position calibration is needed to store the actual pitch in thesoftware. And since there are two spindles, this process must be performedfor each spindle.
To open from the actual 350.8 mm to the (theoretical) 600 mm, the softwarecalculates 207.67 revolutions with a theoretical pitch of 1.2 mm. However,because of the spindle tolerances, with this number of revolutions there areactually 599.8 for motor 1 and 595.8 for motor 2 instead of the 600revolutions. These values were calculated in step 11..
For motor 1, the actual spindle pitch is then (599.8-350.8):207.67 revolutions= 1.199 mm
For motor 2, the actual spindle pitch is then (595.8-350.8):207.67 revolutions= 1.179 mm
After step 13., these values are applied for all further internal calculations.
