Overview
A heated platen melts the sealant or adhesive and
directs the molten material to the pump inlet. The
material then travels through a heated pump and
heated fl u id moves to the application tool.
Air and Fluid Hoses
The Therm-O-Flow requires Graco single-circuit
material hoses rated at a maximum of 1250 watts.
Make s u re all air and fluid hoses are properly sized
for the system.
Heat Control Zone
The Therm-O-Flow has 4, 8, or 12 heat zones. Zones
for the heated drum platen and the heated pump
are not included in the zone count. Zones 1 and 2,
3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, and 11 and
12 are each available through 12-pin connectors.
The heated hoses have a 16-pin connector at the
inlet, and an 8-pin connector at the outlet. All heated
valves, manifolds, and heaters are equipped with an
8-pin mating connector.

Setup
Connect PLC
A PLC can control and monitor all items
shown in the Customer Digital Inputs and
Outputs shown on the Diagn ostics screen. See
Appendix A— ADM, page 94.
When the PLC has control of the system:
• Functionality is restricted from the ADM
• Automatic crossover is disabled. Rely on the PLC
and machine state indicators to know when to
cross over using the I/O.

Operation
1. Turn the main power switch ON. The Graco logo
will display u ntil comm unication and initialization
is complete.
2. Press the button. Verify the machine is
in “Warm Up” state, and that the temperatures
are increasing. Allow the system to reach the
“Ready” state before pumping. The pump will
automatically turn on, if autostart is enabled in
setup screens, when all the heat zones reach
their setpoint temperature.
Purge System
NOTICE
Use fluids that are chemically compatible with
the equipment wetted parts. See Technical
Specifications in all of the equipment manuals.
1. Select the material for the initial material load.
2. Verify whether the factory-test oil and the initial
material load are compatible:
a. If the two substances are compatible omit the
remaining steps in this procedure and refer
to the Load Material, page 31.
b. If the two substances are incompatible
perform the remaining steps in this procedure
to flush the system.
3. Select a pail of material that can eliminate the
factory-test oil from the system. If necessary,
check with Graco or the material supplier for a
recommended solvent.
4. Beforepurgingbesuretheentiresystem
and waste pail are properly grounded. See
Grounding, page 22.
5. Turn all heat zones’ setpoint temperature to the
material manufacturer’s recommended dispense
temperature, or a minimum of 100°F (37°C)
minimum.
Note
NOTIC
Purge the system before initial use and when
chemicals are changed to prevent material
contamination, which may cause the material to
fail or perform poorly. The system was factory-
tested using a light soluble oil, a soybean oil, or
some other oil as tagged. Flush the system to
avoid contaminating the material that has been
designated for initial material loading.
E
Remove any dispense valve orifices
before purging. Reinstall after purging
has been completed.
6. Purge the material through the system for
approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Remove the pail if purge material was used. See
Change Pail, page 38.
