Getting Started
We have organized this Guide to provide setup and testing procedures for the 1000XL and 1000D dispensers.
If you have the 1000XL, first review pages 6 - 9 which illustrate how
to hook up the dispenser and what the controls do.
For the 1000D, review pages 10 - 13.
Next, pages 14 - 15 show how to dispense the thick, paste-like test
material included in the Test Kit. These instructions are common to
both 1000 Series dispensers.
Finally, pages 18 - 19 illustrate how to dispense low-viscosity liquid
using the vacuum control provided on the 1000XL.
The rest of the information in this Guide applies to both of the 1000
Series dispensers.

First Steps
First: Unpack and use the checklist enclosed with the Dispenser Kit
to identify all items. If there is any discrepancy, please call us
immediately.
Second: Power and compressed plant air should be available where
the dispenser is to be set up. Air pressure should be between 80 and
100 psi (5.5 to 6.9 bar). (Bottled nitrogen can be used.) If you are
not using an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755, be certain
your plant air is properly filtered and dry.
Check voltage label to be certain it agrees with the available power.
Third: Now is a good time to ACTIVATE your extended Ten Year
No-fault Warranty. Please fill in and return the postage-paid
Warranty card. Or, if you prefer, call the appropriate toll-free number
listed below, provide the serial number of your dispenser and
respond to a few short questions.

Power switch 6 should be off.
The amount of material dispensed each cycle depends on the
combination of air pressure, time of air pulse, viscosity of material
and dispensing tip size.
The first step is to remove the tip cap from the pre-filled barrel of blue
test material (twist and pull). Replace it with an 18 gage (green)
tapered dispensing tip. Press the tip on and twist clockwise to lock.
Pull out air pressure regulator knob 1 until it "clicks" into the unlocked
position. Turn clockwise to adjust the air pressure to 30 psi (2.1 bar)
for the initial tests.
Always set the pressure desired by turning the air regulator knob 1
clockwise. To reduce the pressure, turn the knob counterclockwise
until the air gauge 2 reads a lower pressure than desired. Then
increase and stop at desired pressure. Push knob in to lock.
Set the time control 3 to #7. Dispense cycle time increases from
0.01 second minimum to 1.0 second as knob is turned clockwise.
Be sure vacuum control 4 is shut off. In the initial tests, the vacuum
pressure gauge 5 will indicate zero pressure. You may notice the
needle on this gauge (when turned off) will jump slightly after each
cycle. This is normal.
Press power switch 6 to turn on the dispenser. It will light green.
Press timer bypass switch 7. It will light yellow. In this operation
mode, the timer will be bypassed to fill the dispensing tip before you
begin testing. A continuous flow of material will occur as long as the
foot pedal is pressed.

B) Timer is set at #7
C) Green tapered tip is on the test barrel
D) Power and timer bypass switches are on.
Holding the barrel as shown, rest the tip on a piece of paper. Press
the foot pedal until the tip fills and some fluid is pushed out onto the
paper. Repeat this whenever you change to a new tip.
With the tip filled, turn the timer bypass switch off (yellow light out).
Use the Dot Test sheet supplied, and press the foot pedal to activate
the timer. Check the dot size. Press the foot pedal again and note
the size consistency.
Remember—When the yellow timer bypass switch is on, a continuous flow of material will occur as long as the foot pedal is pressed.
The yellow light must be off to make timed deposits.
Try different pressure settings. Continue to experiment by replacing
the green tip with the blue (22 gage) tapered tip included in the Dot
Test Kit. Note the effects of air pressure and tip size on the deposit.
Correct angle for consistent deposits.
Remember - always bring the tip in
contact with the work surface at
the illustrated angle. After the tip
is in position, press the foot pedal.
Release pedal and remove tip by
lifting straight up.
Changing Deposit Size, Drawing Stripes
The dot size is determined by the tip diameter, the air pressure
output setting and the pulse time. For large dots, use a large tip,
higher pressure and more time. Normally, you want to use as short
a time pulse as possible. To increase the dot size, slightly increase
the air pressure output, or increase the tip size, or both.

First, follow the settings illustrated on the left, and you will get dots
about the sizes shown. Try other times and pressures to see how
easy it is to get just the dot size you want.
Dot Test with Blue Tapered Tip
These tests show the effect of using a smaller diameter tip.
Replace the green tip with the blue (22 gage) tapered tip. Now, turn
on the timer bypass switch and press the foot pedal to fill the tip.
Then, turn off the timer bypass switch (yellow light out) and press the
foot pedal.
Making Stripes
Keep the settings at Test G (shown to the left) and turn on the timer
bypass switch (yellow light on). With the tip in contact with the test
sheet, press and hold down the foot pedal while drawing a line for
beading or striping.
Advanced Dispensing System
TM
If you dispense thick fluids, several problems may
occur. First, the repetitive air cycles can bore
tunnels through non-leveling fluids, causing
spitting and inconsistent deposits. Second, thick
fluids contain trapped air that leads to drooling
and oozing.
These problems are eliminated by using the
SmoothFlow™ piston. That's because the white
pistons prevent tunneling by providing a barrier to
the pulsed-air cycles, and prevent oozing by
responding to the pressure of trapped air with a
slight suck-back movement after the dispense
cycle.
The white piston is used for most fluids.
However, if you are applying RTV silicone and
find that the piston bounces and causes stringing,
switch to the orange, flat wall piston.
The SmoothFlow™ pistons make barrel filling
easier, too. As you load the fluid in, air is trapped
in the bottom and throughout the fluid. Simply
insert a SmoothFlow™ piston and gently press
down on the fluid as far as possible. This action
forces out most of the air and results in consistent
deposits.

No drip
or ooze.
If you use low to medium viscosity fluids, the white
SmoothFlow™ piston has several advantages.
First, vacuum adjustment is much less sensitive.
Second, the piston prevents fumes from the fluid
being exhausted into the work environment. Third,
the piston prevents fluid backflow into the dispenser if the barrel is inadvertently turned upside
down. Fourth, using the piston makes it easy and
safe to change tips without dripping.
Note: If you use watery-thin fluids such as solvents,
cyanoacrylates and anaerobics, specify the ULTRA
System™ with the blue LV Barrier™. Available only
in 10cc size.

Note: If you choose not to use the piston,
please refer to page 19 for instructions.
How to Use the Vacuum Control (1000XL only)
The vacuum control allows low viscosity fluids, even water, to be
consistently dispensed without dripping between cycles. The vacuum
exerts a negative pressure on the fluid in the barrel and prevents
dripping.
For these tests, you will use the test barrel with the clear fluid.
1. While holding the barrel upright in one hand, remove the orange
end cap and insert the white SmoothFlow™ piston. Carefully
press the piston down to contact the liquid.
Be sure to push it far enough to remove all air, but notinto the
fluid, since this will force the fluid up along the sides of the piston.
2. Attach the barrel to the 10cc adapter. Snap the safety clip tightly
closed to prevent any dripping or bubbling. Remove the tip cap
and attach the 25 gage (red) tip.
3. Set air pressure at 5 psi and timer to #5, then turn on timer bypass.
4. With the barrel pointing downward over a container, press the
foot pedal to fill the tip.
5. Turn off the timer bypass switch (yellow light out).
6. If a drop begins to form at the end of the tip, slowly turn the
vacuum control knob counterclockwise to stop the drop from
growing. Wipe the tip and slowly adjust vacuum. Normally, only
1 to 2 psi of vacuum pressure is necessary.

7. Take the barrel and place the tip on the test sheet. Press the foot

Three things to remember
If you do not use the piston when
dispensing thin fluids:
Do not tip the barrel upside down
or lay flat. This will cause the
liquid to run into the dispenser.

or bubbling.
If you choose not to use the piston, please follow these instructions carefully:
1. While holding the barrel upright in one hand, twist on an
orange tip cap. Using the small funnel supplied, fill about
2/3 full with your liquid.
2. Open the safety clip and attach the barrel to the 10cc adapter.
3. Close the safety clip as tight as possible.
4. Increase vacuum by turning vacuum control knob counterclockwise and set to 1.5 on the vacuum pressure gauge.
5. Then, without tipping the barrel upside down, remove the tip
cap and attach the 25 gage (red) tip.
6. Open the safety clip. Your material may begin to bubble.
Reduce vacuum by turning vacuum control knob clockwise.
7. If a drop begins to form at the end of the tip, slowly turn the
vacuum control knob counterclockwise to stop the drop from
growing. Wipe the tip and adjust vacuum as necessary.
Now the fluid is in proper balance. It does not bubble or drip.
Repeat tests as before, keeping the air pressure low and adjust-
ing the time for different deposit sizes. Contact EFD if you have
any questions.

Loading the Barrel Reservoirs
Caution: Do not completely fill barrels. The optimum fill is a maximum
2/3 of the barrel capacity and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when using
the LV Barrier™.
If the fluid you are dispensing is pourable, take the barrel, twist on a
tip cap and pour your fluid in. If appropriate, insert the SmoothFlow
piston (see page 13). Carefully press the piston down until it contacts
the fluid. The barrel is now ready for use.
If you are dispensing solvents, cyanoacrylates or anaerobics, use
the LV Barrier™. Place barrier in the top of the barrel reservoir. Allow
air between barrier and fluid. Do not contact the barrier to the fluid.
If your fluid is thick or non-leveling, you can spoon it into the barrel
with a spatula. Or, if the fluid comes packed in a 1/10 gallon cartridge,
try loading the barrel with a caulking gun. Then, press in the
SmoothFlow™ piston to move the fluid to the bottom of the barrel and
to remove trapped air.

Filling the cartridge
for the barrel loader.
EFD offers productive alternatives to traditional barrel-loading methods. Here are a few suggestions that can help keep your work area
clean, save time and reduce the chance of entrapped air in the fluid.
1. You could use the EFD #920BL barrel loader. Pack the fluid into
the 12 ounce cartridge as shown. Then place the pre-filled
cartridge into the barrel loader. Using air pressure, the barrel
loader fills the barrel (with piston) from the bottom up.
If the fluid comes packed in a 1/10 gallon (300 ml.) caulking type
cartridge, use the EFD #930BL barrel loader.
2. If you receive frozen epoxies or other fluids in medical type
syringes with a manual plunger, request our luer-to-luer fitting
#2160 to transfer the material.
Please call an EFD Product Specialist for additional assistance.

Barrel Reservoir Selection
Remember, each barrel must use the proper size adapter head. Five
sizes of barrels and four sizes of adapter heads (30cc and 55cc
barrels use the same size adapter head) are provided with this
dispenser—3cc, 5cc, 10cc, 30cc and 55cc.
The most comfortable size barrel is the 10cc. But if you plan to make
very small dots, we recommend the 5cc or even the 3cc size. For
large dots or encapsulating work, use the 30cc or 55cc size.
If you find you need more reservoir capacity than 55cc, consider the
2 1/2, 6 or 12 ounce cartridges. Contact EFD for assistance and
specific recommendations based on your application.
Tip Selection
The EFD 5100 Component Kit included with the dispenser contains
a complete selection of disposable tips.
The appropriate tip for your application will increase assembly
production. Refer to the enclosed booklet with the Component Kit for
helpful recommendations.

Time and Pressure Settings
When establishing settings for your material, keep the time as short
as possible, the tip as large as possible and air pressure as needed
to produce the dot size you require.
Rule of Thumb: Start with a short pulse time. Use the dispensing tip
size appropriate for the size dot required. Vary air pressure. For
more output, gradually increase pressure.
Caution: Use of high air pressure with low viscosity material and a
small gage tip can expel the material some distance.

Momentary
The DIP switch that controls the timer has been set at the factory for
a time range of 0.01 to 1.0 second, with the initiation set to
MOMENTARY contact. (See top diagram.)
Experience shows this is the most often used initiation mode and
time range.
For larger deposits that require longer time, it may be advantageous
to set the initiation to MAINTAINED contact. The operator must then
keep the foot pedal pressed throughout the time cycle.
Four time ranges are provided so that you can have fine-time
adjustment in the range you select.
For extremely small dots of low viscosity, watery fluids, you may want
to select the 0.005 to 0.04 second range. For slow filling, a longer
time range will provide the time that's needed for flow control.

Suggestions & Reminders
1. Always use an EFD SmoothFlow™ piston or LV Barrier™ to make
barrel loading, dispensing and handling cleaner, safer and more
accurate.
Caution (1000XL only): If you dispense pourable fluids and choose
notto use SmoothFlow™ pistons, do not increase vacuum pressure
rapidly and donot tip the barrel. Vacuum may pull liquid into the air
hose; or when tipped, liquid may flow back into the dispenser.
2. Always use new barrels and tips. Carefully dispose of after use.
This procedure ensures maximum cleanliness, prevents contamination and provides proper safety.
3. Do not completely fill the barrel. The optimum fill is a maximum
2/3 of the barrel capacity with the SmoothFlow™ piston and 1/2 of
the barrel capacity when using the LV Barrier™.
4. Properly filtered, clean, dry plant air should be available where
the dispenser is to be set up. (Bottled nitrogen can be used.) Use
an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755 where required.
5. Use the EFD DispenStand™ #DS1400 to help organize bench
space. Adapter hose support keeps air hose off the work area.
6. Depending on the type of work you are doing, it may be easier to
bring the work to the barrel. Mount the barrel on the EFD stand
#7300A.
7. To ensure smooth fluid flow and consistent deposits, always
have the tip at a 45° angle to the work surface.
