208V Electrical Circuits
For 208V electrical supply, a qualified electrician can
install a 208V to 240V step-up transformer to improve
startup times.
Transformer Sizing
Minimum transformer rating can be calculated by taking
transformer output voltage times the ADM breaker setting.
Single Phase, 20A ADM Breaker Setting Example:
240 volts x 20 amps = 4800 watts
Three Phase, 20A ADM Breaker Setting Example:
240 volts x 20 amps x SQRT(3) = 8315 watts
Select ADM Settings
NOTE: See Appendix A - ADM on page 114 for
detailed ADM information, including general operation.
NOTE: An incorrect RTD setting will cause the system
to be incapable of maintaining the temperature setting.
NOTE: The supported RTD types are Ni, 100 ohm; Ni,
120 ohm; NiFe, 604 ohm; Pt, 100 ohm (385), Pt,
100 ohm (392); and Pt, 1000 ohm. An “Auto” selection is
available but should only be used when the specific
RTD type cannot be identified. Using the “Auto” RTD
setting may result in inaccurate temperatures.
To prevent fire and explosion, a qualified electrician
must determine the proper circuit breaker size to use
for the power supplied to the system.
4. On the System 3 screen:
1. Turn main power switch ON .
2. When the ADM is finished starting up, press

channel that has a heated hose and applicator
installed.
a. Enter the main circuit breaker size used. This is
the circuit breaker installed external to the system for the system power supply.
NOTE: The InvisiPac system limits the amount of power
it pulls based on the input circuit breaker size. This
impacts the startup times because it affects the heating
energy used to warm up the materials.
5. On the Advanced 1 screen, set the system date and
time.
b. Select the RTD type used on each installed
applicator. See applicator manual.

arrow push-buttons on the ADM keypad until is
next to the temperature setting to change then use the
numeric keypad to enter the desired temperature.
NOTICE
Set melter, hose, and gun to the same setpoint
temperature for best performance. Do not set the
hose temperature higher than the melter. Running
the hose at a setpoint higher than the melter is
unnecessary in this tank-free system and could
lead to adhesive degradation in the hose. Short
adhesive residence time in the melter eliminates
the need to set the melter at a lower setpoint than
other zones.

Operation
Heating and dispensing hot melt adhesive may create
potentially harmful vapors. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS to know specific
hazards and precautions. Ventilation of the work area
may be required.
Operation
Initial Startup and Prime
NOTE: All setup procedures must be completed prior to initial startup. See Setup on page 17.
NOTE: See Appendix A - ADM on page 114 for
detailed ADM information.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to soft key buttons, do not press
the buttons with sharp objects such as pens, plastic
cards, or fingernails.
NOTE: See Appendix B - USB Downloading, Uploading on page 120 for detailed USB information.
Overview
The system includes a vacuum transfer system that
pulls the adhesive pellets into the system as needed.
Once melted, the adhesive enters the pump where it is
pumped into the heated hoses then to the heated applicators. The applicator then briefly opens to dispense the
desired quantity of adhesive.
Even though the system rises to operating temperature
quickly, there is a Schedule function in the ADM that
eliminates waiting for the system to heat up. The Schedule function automatically enables the heating system at
the user-specified times so the system is ready to dispense when a shift begins. The Schedule function also
disables the heating system at user-specified times to
ensure the heating system is disabled when not being
used.
NOTE: Only 1/4 in. (6 mm) round hot melt adhesive pellets can be used in the InvisiPac system. PSA-type
adhesive pellets will not work in the InvisiPac system.
1. Direct the applicator into an appropriate waste
container.
2. Verify the shaker inlet is at the bottom of the empty
adhesive pellets container. Optional vibrating adhesive pellets container, part 24R136, is available.
See Accessories on page 100.
NOTE: The shaker inlet must be completely covered in
adhesive pellets to effectively pull pellets into the tube.
3. Fill adhesive pellets container with hot melt adhesive pellets.
4. Turn main power switch ON .
5. Open system air inlet ball valve.

Operation
6. Use pump air pressure regulator (C) to adjust pump
air pressure to 0.
E
C
FIG. 20
7. Use vacuum transfer air pressure regulator (E) to
adjust vacuum transfer air pressure setting to
40-100 psi (280-690 kPa, 2.8-6.9 bar). Recommended setting is 60 psi (414 kPa, 4.1 bar). See
F
IG
. 20.
NOTE: If using shaker accessory, regulator should be
set to at least 65% of air pressure connected to shaker.
NOTE: Vacuum transfer will not begin operating until
pump reaches operating temperature.
10. On new systems only: After the melter has reached
250°F (121°C) and the funnel is filled with pellets,
set the melter temperature back to the desired operating temperature. See Select ADM Settings on
page 24 for instructions.
11. Use separate pattern controller to open the applicators and keep them open.
NOTICE
In the following step, to prevent damage to the pump
due to pump cavitation, do not supply more than 20 psi
(140 kPa, 1.4 bar) air pressure to the pump until the
system is fully primed.
12. With the applicators open and the system up to temperature, slowly increase pump air pressure until
the pump begins to run very slowly. Approximately
20 psi (140 kPa, 1.4 bar) should be sufficient.
NOTE: Operation may be erratic below 20 psi (140 kPa,
1.4 bar).
13. Continue running the pump until clean, air-free
material is dispensed from each applicator.
14. When each applicator is fully primed, adjust pump to
desired pressure setting:
To prevent fire and explosion, never exceed the cleaning fluid’s rated temperature. If the system was just
flushed, residual cleaning fluid is still in the system
until the system is primed with adhesive. Do not raise
temperature above cleaning fluid rated temperature
until system is primed with adhesive.
NOTE: A new system may have residual oil due to testing at the factory prior to shipping. To prevent smoking,
make sure to perform the following step.
8. On new systems only: temporarily adjust the melter
temperature to 250°F (121°C). See Select ADM Settings on page 24 for instructions.
9. Press to enable the heaters and pump.
NOTE: When system is up to temperature, the pump will
be activated automatically, but will not start because
there is no air pressure supplied to the pump.
NOTE: When the melter is up to temperature, the
auto-fill function will initiate to fill the funnel with pellets.
a. Adjust pump pressure to between 20-100 psi
(140-690 kPa, 1.4-6.9 bar).
b. Use separate pattern controller to repeatedly
open and close each applicator while inspecting
the dispense pattern.
c. Repeat until desired dispense pattern is
achieved.
Manual Refill
NOTE: Use Automatic Refill whenever possible. The
system uses Automatic Refill by default and must be
manually changed to Manual Refill. Only use Manual
Refill if the Automatic Refill system is not functioning
properly and cannot be fixed in a timely manner. Perform service to automatic feed system as soon as possible to limit debris buildup on feed funnel.
