Grounding

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, and serious injury, proper electrical grounding of every part of your system is essential. Read the warning section Fire and Explosion Hazard on page 4, and follow the grounding instructions below.

The following grounding instructions are minimum requirements for a basic dispensing system. Your system may include other equipment or objects which must be grounded. Check your local electrical code for detailed grounding instructions for your area and type of equipment. Your system must be connected to a true-earth ground.

DPump: ground the pump by connecting ground wire and clamp as described in your separate pump instruction manual.

DAir compressors and hydraulic power supplies: ground the equipment according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

DFluid hoses: use only grounded fluid hoses with a maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the electrical resistance of your fluid hoses at least once a week. If your hose does not have a tag on it which specifies the maximum electrical resistance, contact the hose supplier or manufacturer for the maximum electrical resistance limits, replace the hose immediately.

DDispensing valve: ground the valve by connecting it to a properly grounded fluid hose and pump.

DFluid supply container: ground according to your local code.

DFlammable liquids in the spray area: must be in approved, grounded containers. Do not store more than the quantity needed for one shift.

DAll solvent pails used when flushing: ground according to local code. Use only metal pails, which are conductive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the grounding continuity.

DTo maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure, hold a metal part of the valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the valve.

How to Use the Valve Trigger Safety

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

To prevent accidental triggering of the

gun and reduce the risk of a serious injury, including fluid injection or splashing in

the eyes or on the skin, lock the gun trigger safety when you stop dispensing.

1.If you are using one of the hand-held versions of the valve, lock the valve trigger safety by turning the latch to a right angle with the gun body. See Fig. 2.

2.To unlock the valve trigger safety, push the latch out and turn it parallel with the gun body.

Operation

WARNING

COMPONENT RUPTURE HAZARD

To reduce the risk of over-pressurization, which can cause component rupture and serious injury, never exceed 3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar) fluid pressure, or 120 psi (0.84 MPa,

8.4 bar) air pressure to the valve.

Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually relieved to prevent the system from

starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid under high pressure can be injected through the skin and cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you:

Dare instructed to relieve the pressure

Dstop dispensing

Dcheck or service any of the system equipment

Dinstall or clean the nozzle

1.Shut off the air to the dispense valve, if applicable.

2.Shut off the air to the supply pumps.

3.Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in your system).

4.Hold a metal part of the valve firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the dispense valve to relieve pressure.

5.Open the fluid drain valve (required in your system), having a grounded metal container ready to catch the drainage.

6.Leave the fluid drain valve open until you are ready to dispense again.

If you suspect that the dispense needle or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the needle retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the needle or hose.

Electric Switch Hand Held Valve

DBe sure the air supply lines are connected correctly to the OPEN and CLOSE valve air ports.

DTo open or close the valve and maintain the open or closed status, a minimum of 40 psi (280 kPa, 2.8 bar) air pressure must be supplied and maintained at the OPEN or CLOSE port.

DThe trigger only activates the electrical switch in the handle, which turns the remote solenoid on and off.

DTrigger the gun to turn the solenoid on. Release the trigger to turn the solenoid off.

Machine Mount Valve

DBe sure the air supply lines are connected correctly to the OPEN and CLOSE valve air ports.

DTo open or close the valve and maintain the open or closed status, a minimum of 40 psi (280 kPa, 2.8 bar) air pressure must be supplied and maintained at the OPEN or CLOSE port.

To open the valve:

1.Apply air pressure to the OPEN air port on the valve, and remove air pressure from the CLOSE air port on the valve.

2.Maintain air pressure on the OPEN air port to keep the valve open.

To close the valve:

1.Apply air pressure to the CLOSE air port on the valve, and remove air pressure from the OPEN air port on the valve.

2.Maintain air pressure to the CLOSE air port to keep the valve closed.

8 308876

Operation

Air Switch Hand Held Valve

The valve operation is such that there are only two valve conditions: either fully open or fully closed.

The valve is opened and closed by the internal air control valve. Trigger the gun to open the valve. Release the trigger to close the valve.

Shaft Stroke Adjustment (Models 965766, 965767, 965768, and 965786 only)

Adjust the shaft stroke to balance the valve between “snuff-back” and “push-out”.

DA long stroke will give maximum snuff-back but it may cause push-out when the valve opens.

DShortening the stroke of the shaft will minimize the material pushed out when the valve opens and will also increase the material back pressure through the valve.

To adjust the shaft stroke:

1.Loosen the hex nut (44) from the adjustment nut (43).

2.Adjust the nut (44) along the adjustment shaft (42) to the desired position.

DThe valve is at full stroke when the hex nut

(44)is at the end of the adjustment shaft (42).

DAdjusting the nut (44) on the shaft (42) towards the valve, or clockwise, will reduce the stroke length.

DAdjusting the nut away from the valve, or counterclockwise, will lengthen the stroke.

3.Tighten the hex nut (44) to the adjustment nut (43) to set the adjustment.

Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance

There is a grease filled secondary seal/bearing area on the valve shaft. Every 10,000 cycles, or twice each month, new grease should be flushed across this area. Each valve has two flush grease fittings. A small grease gun is provided with each valve.

To grease the valve:

1.Remove the grease fitting from one side of the gun.

2.Pump grease (Part No. 115982) across the valve until clear grease comes out of the other side.

3.Reinstall the grease fitting.
