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 fluid 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 sure 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 o u tlet. All heated
valves, manifolds, and heaters are equipped with an
8-pin mating connector.

.
4. Make sure there is easy access to an appropriate
electrical power source. The National Electrical
Code requires 3 ft (0.9 m) of open space in front
of the electrical panel. Comply with all local
codes and regulations.
5. For hydraulic rams, locate the hydraulic power
supply in an area that has:
• easy access for servicing and adjusting the
hydraulic pressure on the su pply unit.
• sufficient clearance for the hydraulic lines that
attach to the pump.
• easy access to read the hydraulic fluid level
gauge.
Install System
Refer to Dimensions, page 108 for mounting and
clearance dimensions.
Follow all Location Requirements, page 16,when
selecting a location for the ram.
1. Apply 50 psi download pressure to ram.
2. Wrap the bar with the lifting sling.
3. Lift the system off the pallet using a crane or a
forklift and place in desired location.
Location Requirements
1. Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance
for the pump and ram w hen the ram is in the fully
raised position (approximately 110 in. (280 cm).)
2. If you are installing a vent hood, make sure there
is sufficient horizontal clearance for it. Locate the
ram near a connection to the factory ventilation
system.
3. Make sure the air regulators for the pump and
ram are fully accessible, with room to stand
directly in front of the pneumatic control panel
and the electrical control panel.
4. Level the base of the ram, using metal shims.
5. Bolt the ram to the floor, using anchors that are
long enough to prevent the unit from tipping.

1. Fill displacement pump wet cup 2/3 full with
Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL™) for Butyl and
PSA materials.
Note
Use IsoGuard Select® (IGS) (part
no. 24F516) for PUR or reactive
Polyurethane material. IGS is
designed to dissolve and suspend the
Polyurethane materials. IGS will solidify
after a period of time and should be
replaced once the solidified lube does
not return to liquid form after heating.

Connect PLC
A PLC can control and monitor all items
shown in the Customer Digital Inputs and
Outputs shown on the Diagnostics screen. See
Appendix A— ADM, page 97.
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 until communication 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

their setpoint temperature.
Purge System
NOTICE
Use fluids that are chemically compa tible with
the equipment wetted parts. See Technical
Specifications in all of th e 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 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 drum 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 drum 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 drum if purge material was used.
See Change Drums, page 38.
