4 3A0231E

Isocyanate Conditions

Isocyanate Conditions
Spraying or dispensing materials containing isocya­nates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates.
Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS to know specific hazards and precautions related to isocyanates.
Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and atomized particulates by providing sufficient ventila­tion in the work area. If sufficient ventilation is not available, a supplied-air respirator is required for everyone in the work area.
To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate per­sonal protective equipment, including chemically impermeable gloves, boots, aprons, and goggles, is also required for everyone in the work area.

Material Self-ignition

Keep the ISO lube pump reservoir (if installed) filled with Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), Part 206995. The lubricant creates a barrier between the ISO and the atmosphere.
Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed for ISO, such as those supplied with your system.
Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed when not in use.
Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil or grease when reassembling.

Changing Materials

When changing materials, flush the equipment mul­tiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.
Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.
Check with your material manufacturer for chemical compatibility.
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS.

Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanates

ISO will react with moisture (such as humidity) to form small, hard, abrasive crystals, which become sus­pended in the fluid. Eventually a film will form on the sur­face and the ISO will begin to gel, increasing in viscosity. If used, this partially cured ISO will reduce performance and the life of all wetted parts.
NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystal­lization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the humidity, and the temperature.
To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:
Always use a sealed container with a desiccant dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Never store ISO in an open container.
3A0231E 5

Grounding

Grounding
This product must be grounded. In the event of an elec­trical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric cur­rent.
Metering valve: attach ground wire from grounding lug to true earth ground. See Component Identification starting on page 7.
Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive hoses.
Feed system components: attach ground wire from
grounding lug to true earth ground. See feed system manual for grounding points.
Fluid supply container: follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local code.
Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a nonconductive sur­face, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.

Optional Cycle Detection Spool Sensors

The spool sensors are magnetic reed switches and must be connected to an electrical control. An LED on the switch illuminates to indicate the shifting of the spool.

Overview

This single-component meter and dispense device accurately meters liquid and semi-paste materials.
The machine is ideal for a single-component application requiring very small and precisely mixed shots.
The ratio of the pneumatic cylinder area to pump shaft area provides the adjustable pressure intensification needed to move the separate liquids through the needle with a flow rate suitable for production requirements.
The complete system is enclosed. See Sequence of Operation on page 15.
