Getting Started

We have organized this Guide to provide setup and testing procedures for the 1500 Series dispensers.

If you have the 1500XL, 1500XL-15 or 1500XL-CA, first review pages 8 - 11 which illustrate how to hook up the dispenser and what the controls do.

For the 1500DV or 1500DV-15, review pages 12 - 15.

If you have the 1500D, review pages 16 - 19.

Next, pages 20 - 21 show how to dispense the thick paste-like test material included in the Test Kit. These instructions are common to the 1500XL, 1500DV and 1500D dispensers.

Finally, pages 22 - 23 illustrate how to dispense low viscosity fluid using the vacuum control. These instructions are common to the 1500XL, 1500XL-15, 1500XL-CA, 1500DV and 1500DV-15 dispensers.

The rest of the information in this Guide applies to all of the 1500 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 and 6.9 bar). If you are not using an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755, be certain your plant air is properly filtered

and dry and a regulated, constant air pressure is supplied to the dispenser.

Note: Model 15000XL-CA is supplied with an EFD five-micron filter regulator with coalescing filter (#2000F756).

Bottled nitrogen can be used.

Warning: If high pressure bottled air or nitrogen is used, a high pressure regulator must be installed on the bottle and set at 100 psi maximum. The 2000F755 filter regulator is not recommended.

Check the voltage label to be certain it is set to the available power.

Third: Now is a good time to ACTIVATE your extended Ten (10) 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. You are then assured of complete protection for 10 years.

Testing the Dispensers

Making Timed Deposits of Medium to Thick Fluids

(1500XL, 1500DV and 1500D)

You are now ready to test the prefilled, nontoxic, blue test fluid. This material is representative of thick, non-leveling fluids like sealants, pastes or greases.

Check your initial settings:

A) Air gauge reads 30 psi.

B) Timer is set at 0.25 (refer to page 6

for complete details on the microprocessor controls).

C) Green tapered tip is on the test barrel.

D) Press the timer bypass button once so that dashes

appear in the display segments.

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, re-press the timer bypass button and the dashes will be replaced by the dispense time previously set.

Correct angle for consistent deposits.

Take the Dot Test sheet and put the tip on a 1/4" circle, holding the barrel as shown. Press the foot pedal. Check the dot size. Make several more similar dots and note the size consistency.

Changing Deposit Size, Drawing Stripes

The dot size is determined by the tip diameter, the output air pressure 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 output air pressure, or increase tip size, or both.

To make stripes, press the timer bypass button . Dashes replace the time indication. With the tip in contact with the test sheet, press and hold down the foot pedal while making a bead or stripe.

Remember - always bring the tip into 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.

How to Use the Vacuum Control

Making Timed Deposits of Watery-thin Fluids

(1500XL, 1500XL-15, 1500XL-CA 1500DV, 1500DV-15)

The vacuum control allows low viscosity liquids, even water, to be consistently dispensed without dripping between cycles. The vacuum exerts a negative pressure on the liquid in the barrel and prevents dripping.

Remove orange end cap

Insert LV Barrier

Air gap

™

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 blue LV Barrier.™ Allow an air gap as shown.

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 the time at 0.14

(Fig. 1)

4. Press the timer bypass button (dashes appear).

5. With the barrel pointing downward over a container, unsnap the safety clip. Then press the foot pedal to fill the tip.

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 adjust vacuum as necessary. Normally, only 1 to 2 psi of vacuum pressure is necessary.

7. Press the timer bypass button to return to the preset dispense time

(Fig. 1)

8. Take the barrel and place the tip on the test sheet. Press the foot pedal. Check the dot size. Increase or decrease by adjusting pressure or time.

014

(Fig. 1)

Remove tip cap

Three things to remember

If you do not use the piston when dispensing thin fluids:

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, fill about 2/3 full with your fluid.

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.

Do not tip the barrel upside down or lay flat. This will cause the liquid to run into the dispenser.

When changing tips or attaching a tip cap, snap the safety clip completely closed to prevent any dripping or bubbling.

Use an EFD filter trap (#1000FLT-Y). This filter trap will impede the flow should the low viscosity liquid be sucked back towards the dispenser.

IMPORTANT

Regardless of the fluid viscosity, using the correct EFD piston will give you better results. White SmoothFlow™ piston for most fluids, blue LV Barrier™ for watery-thin fluids and orange flat wall piston for thick, stringy fluids. See pages 24 - 25 for a complete description of how EFD pistons work and the benefits they can bring to your operation.

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 adjusting the time for different deposit sizes. Contact EFD if you have any questions.

Advanced Dispensing System

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 in 3cc and 10cc sizes.

For Cyanoacrylates or Watery-thin Fluids

Blue LV Barrier™ for improved control of very low viscosity fluids.

Note: The LV Barrier ™ works best with an air gap between the barrier and fluid.

Maximum 1/2 fill

For Thin Fluids

SmoothFlow™ piston prevents fluid backflow.

Fumes cannot escape.

No air gap when using the SmoothFlow™ piston.

Note: If you choose not to use a piston, please refer to page 23 for instructions.

Loading the Barrel Reservoirs

Caution: Do not completely fill barrels. The optimum fill is a maxi-

mum 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 24). 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.

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 prefilled 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 #940BL Barrel Loader.

2. For fast, accurate volumetric filling, the 8000BF Barrel Filling Station can be used with any pressure reservoir or cartridge. Recommended for high production barrel filling.

3. 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.

How the 1500 Series Dispensers Work

With the air connected and the power on, here’s what happens when you press the foot pedal.

(1) The digital solid-state timer is energized and begins dispense cycle

countdown.

(2) The timer opens a solenoid and closes the vacuum pressure for all

1500 Series dispensers except the 1500D, allowing preset air pressure to flow to the barrel reservoir.

(3) The air pressure pushes the liquid out the dispensing tip.

(4) At the end of the preset time, the timer shuts off, closing the solenoid

and exhausting the air in the barrel.

Note: For all 1500 Series dispensers except the 1500D, the vacuum is created by air pressure bleeding through the vacuum transducer. The amount of vacuum is controlled by a vacuum control.

This completes the pulse cycle.

When the timer bypass button is pressed and the display shows dashes, the microprocessor switches to direct solenoid control by the foot pedal. As long as the foot pedal is pressed, the solenoid remains open, providing a bypass flow of liquid for filling or striping.

Suggestions & Reminders

1. Always use an EFD piston to make barrel loading, dispensing and handling cleaner, safer and more accurate.

Caution (for all 1500 Series dispensers except the 1500D): If you dispense watery-thin liquids and do not use LV Barriers™—do not increase vacuum pressure rapidly and do not tip the barrel. Vacuum may pull fluid into the air hose; or when tipped, fluid may run 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. To ensure smooth fluid flow from the tip and to make consistent deposits, always have the tip at about 45° to the work surface.
