Getting Started

The 2000XL Series automatic fluid dispensers are designed to provide complete process control using advanced microprocessor circuitry. All microprocessor functions are accessed by push button.
Microprocessor features include:
• Push-button time setting input or one-touch time programming.
• Floating decimal, providing dispense time ranges of 0.001 to 9.999 and 00.01 to 99.99 seconds.
• Backlit LCD displays time settings, dispensing pressure and vacuum pressure.
• Dispensing pressure display is programmable for either psi or bar scale.
• Memory with storage for up to eight separate time settings.
Intelligent technology makes the 2000XL Series easy to set up and use. With one-touch setup, just press the pedal to determine the proper amount. The microprocessor remembers the time and repeats this amount with each cycle until you are ready to change it.
From microdeposits to volumetric filling, the 2000XL provides the ultimate in control and versatility for time/pressure-based fluid dispensing.

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. Input air should be set between 80 and 100 psi (5.5 and 6.9 bar). For model 2000XL-PR5, input air should be set between 10 and 50 psi (0.7 and 3.4 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 2000XL-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 required.
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 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.

Please follow these instructions in order to test each function. Use the convenient Dot Test sheet included in your Test Kit.
Setup for Testing
Press RUN/SETUP to set the dispenser into the RUN mode (RUN indicator light on).
Press PRESSURE/TIME and set display to pressure.
Pull out air pressure regulator knob until it "clicks" into the unlocked position. Turn clock­wise to adjust the pressure to 20 psi (1.4 bar).
Note: Dispensers with 5 psi or 15 psi gauges should be tested with the clear test fluid, using a lavender 30 gage tip and air pressure set at 5 psi. Refer to "How to Use the Vacuum Control" on page 16.
Always set the pressure desired by turning the air regulator knob clockwise. To reduce the pres­sure, turn the knob counterclockwise until the air gauge reads a lower pressure than desired. Then increase and stop at desired pressure. Push knob in to lock.
Attach the barrel containing the test material to the adapter assembly as shown.
Remove the orange tip cap from the end of the dispensing barrel and attach the green 18 gage tapered tip found in the Dot Test Kit. Place the barrel in the barrel stand.
Press STEADY/ TEACH to place the 2000XL into STEADY mode. (STEADY indicator light on.)

.
Holding the barrel as shown, rest the tip on the Dot Test sheet. Press the foot pedal for about one second. Notice that the display now shows the length of time the foot pedal was pressed.
Keeping the tip in the same place, press the pedal again for about two seconds and add to the first deposit. Now the display shows the total time for both deposits.
You can build up to the desired amount by simply pressing the foot pedal repetitively until the deposit is the proper size. If the deposit becomes too large, press STEADY/TEACH and start again. Press RUN/SETUP to save the setting and return to the RUN mode.
Program the Deposit Time with a Specified Time Setting
Set the dispense time when the desired time SET buttons below the display to scroll up and TIME SET buttons above the display to scroll down. The button on the right scrolls slowly for single digit setting; the one to the left scrolls fast.
Press STEADY/TEACH, then set the time to 1.15 seconds using the TIME SET buttons. Press RUN/SETUP to return to the RUN mode. Press the pedal and make a 1.15 second 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.
Note: The pedal needs only to be pressed mo­mentarily. The complete time cycle will run once the dispenser is initiated.
Press RUN/SETUP and toggle back to the SETUP mode. Press the TIME SET buttons and change the time to 2.30 seconds. Go back to RUN, press the foot pedal, and the dispenser will make a
deposit approximately twice the size of the first one.
Pressure—changes deposit size.
The dispenser should be in the RUN mode, the TIME setting should be 2.30 seconds and the
dispensing pressure should be 20 psi (1.4 bar). Increasing the pressure will result in larger depos-
its, decreasing the pressure will result in smaller deposits. Try this now and observe the results.
Tip Size—changes deposit size.
Tip size also affects deposit size. Without chang­ing the TIME or PRESSURE setting, try different tips and observe the results.
Don’t Forget!
Changes to the time settings can be
made only when the mode of operation is SETUP.
RUN mode locks out TIME SET and TEACH
control buttons. Use this to protect the setup from inadvertent changes.
Pressing STEADY/TEACH in SETUP mode
will clear all time settings within cell.
STOP immediately terminates the current
dispense cycle.
Use only dry, clean, filtered air.

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.
For Thick Fluids
Air Pressure

OFF
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 Maximum 1/2 fill
with an air gap between the barrier
and fluid.
For Thinner Fluids
SmoothFlow™ piston prevents fluid backflow.
Fumes cannot escape.
No air gap when using the SmoothFlow™ piston.
Note: If you choose not to use the piston, please refer to page 17 for instructions.

How to use the Vacuum Control

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 liquid in the barrel and prevents dripping.
For these tests, you will use the test barrel with the clear fluid.
Remove orange end cap.
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 30 gage (lavender) tip.
3. Set air pressure at 5 psi.
4. Press RUN/SETUP to go into SETUP mode and set TIME for 00.05 seconds. Press RUN/SETUP to return to RUN mode.
5. Press STEADY/TEACH (STEADY indicator light on).
6. With the barrel pointing downward over a container, unsnap the safety clip and press the foot pedal to fill the tip.
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.
8. To read vacuum pressure, press PRESSURE/TIME so that system air pressure is displayed. Hold toggle switch in the "up" position to view vacuum pressure. Release toggle to return display to system air pressure readout.
9. Press STEADY/TEACH (STEADY indicator light off).
Insert blue LV Barrier
Remove tip cap.
10. Take the barrel and place the tip on the test sheet. Press the foot pedal and release. Check the dot size. Increase or decrease by adjusting pressure or time.
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.
Open
Closed
When changing tips or attaching a tip cap, snap the safety clip completely closed to prevent any dripping 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, 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. Slightly increase vacuum by turning vacuum control knob counterclockwise.
5. Then, without tipping the barrel upside down, remove the tip cap and attach the 30 gage (lavender) 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.
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.
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.

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 14). Carefully press the piston down until it contacts the fluid. The barrel is now ready for use.
If you are dispensing watery 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 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. 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 Fluid Application Specialist for additional assistance.

Voltage Initiate Circuit
The 2000XL may be initiated with a 5 to 24 VDC signal across pins 1 and 2. The signal can be momentary (no less than 0.001 seconds) or maintained. A new cycle will begin once power is removed and then applied again.
Mechanical Contact Initiate
The 2000XL can be initiated via the closure of mechanical contacts such as a relay or switch using pins 5 and 7. Closure of the contacts can be momentary (no less than 0.001 seconds) or maintained. A new cycle will begin once the contacts are opened and then closed again.
End-of-Cycle Feedback Circuit
Upon completion of a dispense cycle, an open collector circuit closes and remains closed until the next dispense cycle. This circuit can be utilized to signal back to a host computer, start another device in sequence or other operations that need to be tied into the completion of the dispense cycle.
Upon closure, power from an external 5 to 24 VDC source is allowed to pass through the circuit to operate a load. Power consumption of the load must not exceed 250mA.
I/O Connection The 9 pin D connector and internal circuitry provide external initiate and end­of-cycle feedback signal. The pin connections are shown below.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a problem that you cannot readily solve, call EFD.
Trouble Possible cause and correction
No power. Be sure that there is power at the wall receptacle. Check the input
power fuse. If the fuse has failed, check the voltage value in the fuse cartridge window. Be sure that it matches the input voltage.
Auxiliary output is not Insure that the external voltage to the circuit is between 5 and 24 VDC functioning. and that the load does not exceed 250mA.
If the output has been overloaded, the fuse may be open. See sche­matic on page 23 and replace if necessary.
Inconsistent dots. 1. Check dispensing tip, barrel and material for possible clogging.
2. Check dispenser air pressure reading to be sure air pressure is not varying.
3. Air bubbles in the material can cause inconsistency. For best results, remove all air bubbles.
Timer seems inoperative. Check to be sure STEADY mode is off.
Note: The EFD timer is very reliable. Any failure will be total, so that no inconsistency is possible. Most questions regarding the timer are resolved by simply turning the STEADY mode off.
Material suck-back. 1. Use SmoothFlow™ pistons or LV Barriers™ to prevent this (see
pages 14 and 15).
2. If it occurs, attach an empty barrel, put in STEADY mode, place the barrel in a cup then press the pedal to expel the fluid.
3. If problem cannot be corrected, contact an EFD Product Specialist for assistance. Dispensers can be returned to EFD for repair.
Suggestions & Reminders
1. Always use an EFD piston to make your barrel loading, dispens-
ing and handling cleaner, safer and more accurate.
#DS1200 DispenStand
#7300A Barrel Stand
Caution: If you dispense watery-thin fluids and choose not to use
SmoothFlow™ pistons – do not increase vacuum pressure rapidly and do not 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. For most fluids, optimum fill is
a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity. For cyanoacrylates or watery-thin fluids, optimum fill is 1/2 of the barrel capacity.
4. Use the EFD #DS1200 DispenStand™ (supplied with model
2000XL-CA) to help organize bench space. Adapter hose support keeps hose off of the work area. See illustration.
5. Depending on the type of work you are doing, it may be easier
to bring the work to the barrel. Mount the barrel on a stand such as the EFD #7300A.
6. To ensure smooth fluid flow and to make consistent deposits,
always have the tip at about a 45° angle to the work surface.
