Important Two-Component Material Information

Important Two-Component Material Information

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

Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanates

Isocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two component coatings. 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.
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.
Never use solvent on one side if it has been contam­inated from the other side.
Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oil or grease when reassembling.
Some materials may become self-igniting if applied too thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and material MSDS.

Keep Components A and B Separate

Cross-contamination can result in cured material in fluid lines which could cause serious injury or dam­age equipment. To prevent cross-contamination of the equipment’s wetted parts, never interchange component A (isocyanate) and component B (resin) parts.
3A1080C 9

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.
Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some use ISO on the B side.

cc/min. (0.02–1.0 gal/min.), pressures up to 4000 psi (28 MPa, 276 bar), and viscosi­ties of 20–3000 centipoise. The K-factor is approximately 0.119 cc/pulse.
G3000HR is a high resolution version of the G3000 meter. It is typically used in flow
ranges of 38–1900 cc/min. (0.01–0.5 gal/min.), pressures up to 4000 psi (28 MPa, 276 bar). and viscosities of 20–3000 centipoise. The K-factor is approximately 0.061 cc/pulse.
S3000 is a gear meter used for solvents in flow ranges of 38-1900 cc/min. (0.01–0.50
gal/min.), pressures up to 3000 psi (21 MPa, 210 bar), and viscosities of 20–50 centi­poise. The K-factor is approximately 0.021 cc/pulse.
Coriolis is a specialty meter capable of a wide range of flow rates and viscosities.
This meter is available with 1/8 in. or 3/8 in. diameter fluid passages. For detailed information on the Coriolis meter, see manual 313599. The K-factor is user-settable; at lower flow rates use a lower K-factor.
1/8 in. fluid passages: set K-factor to .020 or .061.3/8 in. fluid passages: set K-factor to .061 or 0.119.

ProControl 1KS Integration Specifics

ProControl 1KS Integration Specifics

Discrete I/O vs Network Communications

The ProControl 1KS system does not use a Booth Con­trol. Instead, it uses Discrete I/O or Network Communi­cations to drive the system. Each method can be used exclusively, or both at the same time.
In Automatic mode, the following fields can be set to “Discrete” or “Network” (see Configure Screen 6 on page 31):
Flow Control
Proportioning
Gun 1 Trigger
NOTE: In Semi-automatic mode, only the Proportioning field is available,
NOTE: The Manual Override function enables you to operate the system before the automation (PLC) is avail­able. Manual Override still requires some communica­tion through Discrete I/O or Network Communications. Although Manual Override is not intended to be the main mode of control, it can be used if proper Gun Trigger Input is provided.

Discrete I/O

Discrete I/O requires a 24 Vdc power supply which must be supplied on site. The ProControl 1KS does not sup­ply power for Discrete I/O.
See Table 4 on page 49, F 8 on page 59 for inputs and outputs. Understanding these inputs and outputs is necessary to properly inte­grate the ProControl 1KS to the automation.
Input and output connections are made at the Discrete I/O terminal strips (F (F
IG. 61) inside the EasyKey. Also see the System
Electrical Schematic on page 102.
Review the Color Change Charts (F understanding of the color change sequence is neces­sary to properly drive the inputs and monitor the out­puts.
See Advanced Setup Screen 7, page 38. This screen shows the actual status of all inputs and outputs. It is important to ensure that each input from local automa­tion (PLC) is received by the EasyKey and to verify that the ProControl 1KS is sending outputs to the automa­tion.

ProControl 1KS Integration Specifics
Digital Inputs
See Automation Flow Charts, pages 50-54.
Mix Start: This is a maintained input. When High, the
ProControl 1KS will attempt to enter Mix mode. This Mix Start input should not be attempted unless the Mix_Ready output is recognized. This ensures that there are no alarms and that the Mix Start input is appropriate.
This input stays High at all times when mixing on demand is required. When Low, the intent is to stop mix­ing material and perform a purge or recipe change.
Do not toggle this input to set the unit to Standby mode during short work stoppages. The ProControl 1KS will automatically go into Idle mode after 2 minutes of inac­tivity. When a Gun Trigger input is seen, the ProControl 1KS will automatically leave Idle mode and resume mix­ing material where it left off.
Purge Start: This is a maintained input. When recog- nized by the ProControl 1KS, the Purge Sequence will start, using the Purge Time from the active recipe. This will also include the Solvent Fill Time. Proper monitoring of the Purge/Color Change Output is required to ensure this function has begun. Once this output is removed, the system will immediately go to Standby mode.
Gun Trigger: When High, this input signals the ProCon­trol 1KS that the gun is actually triggered. It should be sent every time the gun is triggered. This input provides timing for alarm functions and also drives the flow con­trol functions. Without it, no flow control functions will start.
Job Complete: This is a momentary input, 100 msec minimum. When recognized by the ProControl 1KS, the Job totals are cleared and a time/date stamp is added for retrieval.
Remote Stop: Use this input when external equipment is used to stop the system. Clear any alarms before using this input. For more information about when this input is needed, contact your Graco distributor.
Alarm Reset: This is a momentary input, 100 msec minimum. When recognized by the ProControl 1KS it clears any active alarms and allows the automation to take the next step.
Common: This is not an input, but the ProControl 1KS expects to have the COM side of the 24 Vdc supply con­nected as shown in Table 8. This ensures proper opera-
tion of each input and output.
I/O Terminal Strip Detail
Color Change Start: This is a momentary input, 100
msec minimum. When recognized by the ProControl 1KS, the Color Change sequence will begin, starting at the Color/Catalyst Dump.
NOTE: If the new recipe has the same color as the active recipe, then the Color/Catalyst Dump and Color/Catalyst Fill times are skipped and the Color Change Sequence starts with the Purge. Also, the rec­ipe bit configuration for the Color Change must be loaded at least 100 msec before the Color Change Start input is turned on. The recipe bit configuration must remain on while the Color Change Start input is removed. Graco recommends the recipe bits stay active and do not change until a new color is required. The PLC should monitor the Purge/Color Change Output as well as the Fill Active Output to ensure the process hap­pens as required. A complete color change without errors (resulting in a Mix Ready Output state) is a com­pleted color change.
NOTE: This also applies if using the Modbus Registers (see the Modbus Map table in manual 312785).

Purge_CC_Active: This output will remain High during
the manual Purge or Color Change purge sequence. See the Color Change Charts (F ther information.
Fill_Active: This output will remain High while the Pro­Control 1KS is in the Mixed Material Fill at the end of a typical color change sequence.
Mix_Active: This output will remain High while the Pro­Control 1KS is in Mix mode. There may be alarm out­puts while this output is High; these are typically High/Low Flow Warnings. Always monitor this output and the alarm outputs to provide feedback of the actual status of the ProControl 1KS. (See the Modbus charts in the Graco Gateway manual 312785.)
Mix_Ready: This output will remain High while there are no alarms and the ProControl 1KS is ready to go to Mix mode.
General Alarm: This output will remain High when any alarm is active. See Table 13 on page 90 for a complete list of alarms.

Flow Command: This is the positive side of the 0 – 10
Vdc signal. (See Common under Digital Inputs, page
47.) This input corresponds to the Flow Range setting in Advanced Setup Screen 5, page 37. For example, if the setting is 0 – 300 cc/min, the 0 Vdc analog input is 0 cc/min, therefore the 10 Vdc analog input is 300 cc/min.

NOTE: It is important to monitor this output along with
Mix_Active to understand the alarm’s true meaning.
Alarm_Potlife: This output will remain High along with the Alarm output when the potlife time has been reached for the active recipe. The Mix_Active output will drop Low, even if the Mix_Start input is High. This output will remain High until the potlife volume is dispensed or the ProControl 1KS completes a Purge or a Color Change.

Stops the system (remove Mix input).
Purge
Purges the system, using air and solvent (apply Purge input).

Recipe (Color) Change

The process when the system automatically flushes out the old color and loads a new color. See pages 78-89.

Flow Control

NOTE: Flow control is not available with dynamic dos-
ing.
Flow control is an optional feature of the ProControl 1KS automatic system. Flow control regulates the flow of material to a manual or automatic air spray gun, to help ensure adequate coverage and avoid sags or runs in the finish coat. It is not for use with air-assisted or airless spray guns.
See F
IG. 68. The flow regulator (FC) is required to use
flow control in your system. Connect the fluid inlet and outlet lines, air line, and cable as shown.
Set Flow Control to “On” in Configure Screen 5 on page 31. Make the desired selections in Advanced Setup Screen 5, page 37.
See the Graco Gateway manual 312785 for Flow Con­trol Modbus addresses.

Typical PLC Interaction with ProControl 1KS

This section describes a typical interaction when a local PLC is directly connected to the Discrete I/O connec­tions of the ProControl 1KS.
See ProControl 1KS Integration Specifics on page 45 for a detailed explanation of inputs and outputs.
NOTE: Communications fields of Configure Screen 6 must be set to DISCRETE (see page 31).
Start Mixing
To start the mix process, the PLC will monitor and ensure the Mix_Ready output is High. This provides assurance it is ready to mix. PLC will drive High the Mix_Start input, keep it High and monitor the Mix_Active output to ensure the ProControl 1KS followed through on the request.
Stop Mixing
To stop mixing (to perform a purge or color change), remove the Mix_Start input (the status bar on the EasyKey will show STANDBY). Monitor the Mix_Ready output to ensure the Mix_Active output goes Low.
Color Change
To perform a color change, ensure there are no alarms (except the Potlife Alarm). If alarms are present, the Alarm_Reset input should be sent momentarily to clear the alarm (>100 msec).
During the short On state, the recipe will be read from this binary sequence and the status bar of the EasyKey will display COLOR CHANGE XX. The Purge_CC_Active output will be High for the duration of the color change purge process. During the Mixed Mate­rial Load portion at the end of the Color Change sequence, the Fill_Active output will be on, indicating that portion of the color change. These will not be on at the same time. Once the Mix_Ready output goes High with no alarms, then the PLC has assurance that the requested color change has taken place with the requested recipe being the current active recipe. If any error occurs during the process, the requested recipe will not be loaded, and the old recipe will remain active.
NOTE: It is not possible to read the active recipe through Discrete I/O alone. Only by monitoring net­worked registers through the Gateway is it possible to view the active recipe. Proper management of the alarm status outputs during the color change process will ensure the active recipe is what is expected.
Purge
To start a Purge (no color change), drive the Purge_Start input High (maintained) while ensuring Mix_Ready output is High (ensuring no active alarms). An exception is Potlife alarm (see Color Change above if alarms are present.) The Purge_CC_Active output is High for the entire Purge process. Ensure there are no alarms during this process. Fill_Active is High when Mix is on. When complete, Mix _Ready output will be High, indicating a completed purge.
NOTE: No change is made to the active recipe.
NOTE: Alarm_Reset will not reset a Potlife alarm. Only
dispensing the Potlife Volume or a complete Purge/Color Change will reset a Potlife alarm.
The Alarm Reset Input will silence the audible alarm. Turn the Color_Change_Start input on momentarily (>100 msec) while the proper sequence of recipe bits are set.
NOTE: The Recipe Bits must be presented at least 100 msec before the Color Change Start input is turned on and remain until a new recipe is required.
3A1080C 63
Gun Trigger Input
This input is sent and expected every time the gun is actually triggered, and this input is turned off when the gun is not triggered. Never tie this input with any other signal. Without this input, some critical mixing alarms are eliminated. This input should be provided through Discrete I/O only for flow control applications to ensure fast coordination with the flow control process. Applica­tions without integrated flow control can use Gun Trigger input through Network Communications or Discrete I/O.
NOTE: This has the same effect as the air flow switch used on manual ProControl 1KS systems.
System Operation
Alarm Monitoring/Reset (Discrete I/O)
Anytime an alarm occurs, the Alarm Reset input will reset the alarms and allow for processing of the next step by automation, except for the following condi-
tions:
Potlife Alarms cannot be reset by the Alarm Reset
input or through the EasyKey Alarm Reset key. Only a Purge/Color Change or spraying the Pot-
life volume will reset a Potlife alarm. (See Alarm_Potlife output information on page 49.)
When Flow Control is turned on (see Configure Screen 5 on page 31), the Flow_Rate_Alarm output will be High when the instantaneous flow rate is above or below the Flow Rate tolerance setting. (High Flow or Low Flow will be the condition, indicat­ing in the status bar of the EasyKey.) This output will be High along with the Mix_Active output. The PLC should monitor the amount of time this condition exists and take action at a predetermined time. With Flow Control there will be times (for example during flow rate changes) where the general alarm as described here will be High (typically momentarily). The PLC must read this Alarm output (i.e. general alarm), see if Mix_Active is still High, and if so, start a timer. A typical example would be to ensure all parts are sprayed within a specific flow rate range. A maximum predetermined time would be set to allow a Low or High flow condition to exist continuously.
Shutdown or go to Standby after the flow rate alarm time expires.
Job_Complete Input
For Applications with Dump Valves (for quick purges/color changes at or near the gun):
ProControl 1KS has four specials that can each be turned off and on twice throughout a color change sequence. See Advanced Setup Screen 8 on page 38 or Recipe Setup Screen 7 on page 42.
For example, a dump valve at a gun on a robot could be opened at the appropriate times to facilitate fast color changes. Another output could be used to automatically drive an air-operated fluid regulator High during the Purge or Color Change process.
NOTE: With integrated Flow Control, the flow control regulator automatically is driven High. See Advanced Setup Screen 5 on page 37 for specifics on setting up these values. Each of the specials can be monitored, but can only be controlled through the times entered within the setup screens of the EasyKey or by managing the proper registers on the network.
The following ProControl 1KS inputs should never be on (High) at the same time:
•Mix_Start
Purge_Start
Color_Change_Start
The Recipe Bits (0-6) are always on at the same time. The only time these bits are recognized is when the Color_Change_Start input is High. The Recipe Bits should be loaded and stay loaded for the current rec­ipe. Do not change the Recipe Bits until a color change is required again. Inconsistent results are possible if this is not followed.
Every time a momentary Job_Complete input is seen by the ProControl 1KS, a job log will be recorded, logging the A meter volume (cc) with a time and date stamp. The volume will then be reset to 0. (Volume totals are accu­mulated since the last reset.)
NOTE: A Color Change accomplishes the same Job Complete Reset functions. The Job_Complete input is commonly used to record material usage for a specific set of parts. These volumes are sprayed material vol­umes.

System Operation

General Operating Cycle

1. The system enters and loads the desired color.
2. The system enters Mix mode to begin operation.
3. The ProControl 1KS controller sends signals to acti­vate the solenoid valves. The solenoid valves acti­vate Dose Valve A. Fluid flow begins when the Gun Trigger input is seen.
4. Dose Valve A (DVA) opens, and fluid flows to the gun.
5. Flow Meter A (MA) monitors the fluid volume dis­pensed and sends electrical pulses to the ProCon­trol 1KS controller. The controller monitors these pulses and signals.
6. When the target volume dispenses, Dose Valve A closes.
NOTE: The dispense volume of component A is based on the mix ratio and dose size set by the user and calculated by the ProControl 1KS controller.
7. Component A is fed to the gun as long as the Gun Trigger input is seen.
8. If the Gun Trigger input is not seen for two minutes, the system switches to Idle mode, which closes off the mix manifold dose valve.
9. When the Gun Trigger input is seen again, the Pro­Control 1KS continues the process where it left off.
NOTE: Operation can be stopped at any time by going to Standby mode (remove Mix input).

Purging

Read Warnings, page 6. Follow the Grounding instructions in your system Installation manual.
To avoid splashing fluid in the eyes, wear eye protec­tion.
There are 4 purging procedures in this manual:
Purging Mixed Material (below)
Purging Using Recipe 0 (page 74)
Purging Fluid Supply System (page 74)
Use the criteria listed in each procedure to determine which procedure to use.
Purging Mixed Material
There are times when you only want to purge the fluid manifold, such as:
2. Set the solvent supply pressure regulator at a pres­sure high enough to completely purge the system in a reasonable amount of time but low enough to avoid splashing or an injection injury. Generally, a setting of 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) is sufficient.
3. If using a gun flush box, place the gun into the box and close the lid. Go to Purge mode. The purge sequence automatically starts.
If the gun flush box is not used, trig­ger the gun (manual or automatic) into a grounded metal pail until the purge sequence is complete.
When done purging, the EasyKey automatically switches to Standby mode.
4. If the system is not completely clean, repeat step 3.
NOTE: If necessary, adjust purge sequence so only one cycle is required.

System Operation
Purging Using Recipe 0
Recipe 0 is typically used in multiple color systems to purge out material lines without loading a new color.
To setup Recipe 0, go to Advanced Setup. Select the Recipe tab and change the Recipe to 0. The Recipe 0 Setup Screen appears. Set the chop times from 0-999 seconds in increments of 1 second.
1. Go to Standby mode (remove Mix input).
Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
If you are using a high pressure gun, engage the trig­ger lock. Remove spray tip and clean tip separately.
Purging Fluid Supply System
Follow this procedure before:
the first time material is loaded into equipment*
servicing
shutting down equipment for an extended period of time
putting equipment into storage
* Some steps are not necessary for initial flush-
ing, as no material has been loaded into the system yet.
1. Go to Standby mode (remove Mix input).
Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
If you are using a high pressure gun, engage the trig­ger lock. Remove spray tip and clean tip separately.
If using an electrostatic gun shut off the electrostatics before flushing the gun.
2. If using a gun flush box, place the gun into the box and close the lid.
3. Select Recipe 0 and press Enter .
4. If a gun flush box is not used, trigger the gun (manual or automatic) into a grounded metal pail until the purge sequence is complete.
5. The color change LED blinks while Recipe 0 runs and turns solid after purge sequence is complete.
6. If the system is not completely clean, you can repeat Recipe 0 by pressing Enter
.
If using an electrostatic gun, shut off the electrostatics before flushing the gun.
2. Attach solvent supply lines as follows:
Single color systems: disconnect the fluid
supply at the flow meter inlet, and connect regu­lated solvent supply lines.
Multiple color systems: disconnect the fluid
supply at the flow meter inlet and connect a reg­ulated solvent supply line.

Meter Calibration

Meter Calibration
Calibrate the meter:
The first time the system is operated.
Whenever new materials are used in the system, especially if the materials have viscosities that differ significantly.
At least once per month as part of regular mainte­nance.
Whenever a flow meter is serviced or replaced.
NOTE:
K-Factors on the Calibration Screen are
updated automatically after the calibration pro­cedure is completed.
4. On the EasyKey, press the Setup key to access setup screens.
5. Press the Right Arrow key to select the Cali- bration Screen. Press
Dose Valve A. Press the Down Arrow select Start from the menu. Start only one at a time.
the Enter key to select
key and
K-Factor values on the screen are viewable only. If needed, you can manually edit the K-Factors in Advanced Setup Screen 4 (see page 37) or Recipe Setup Screen 5 (page 42).
All values on this screen are in cc, independent of the units set in Configure Screen 1.
The controller will use the active recipe K-factors for meter calibration. The active recipe must be recipe 1 to recipe 60. Recipes 0 and 61 do not have K-factor values.
1. Before calibrating meter A, prime the system with material. For a color change system, make sure the color valve is open.
2. Shut off all spray or dispense devices connected to the ProControl 1KS.
3. Place the beaker (minimum size - 250 cc) to capture fluid from the gun.
6. Dispense a minimum of 250 cc into beaker; make sure enough material is dispensed to accurately read the volume with your beaker.
7. The volume that the ProControl 1KS measured dis­plays on the EasyKey.
76 3A1080C
8. Compare the amounts on the EasyKey to the amount in the beaker.
NOTE: For maximum accuracy, use a gravimetric (mass) method to determine the actual volume dis­pensed.
9. If the screen and actual volume are different, enter the actual dispensed volume in cc for A or Solvent
Volume field, and press the Enter key
.
If the value was substantially different, repeat the calibration process.
NOTE: If the screen and actual volume is the same or if for any reason you want to cancel the calibra­tion procedure, scroll to Abort on the Calibration
Screen menu and press the Enter key
.
10. After the volume for A or Solvent is entered, the Pro­Control 1KS controller calculates the new flow meter K-Factor and shows it on the Calibration Screen.
Meter Calibration
NOTE: K-Factor values on the screen are viewable only. If needed, you can manually edit the K-Factors in Advanced Setup Screen 4 (page 37) or Recipe Setup Screen 5 (page 42).
11. Before you begin production, clear the system of solvent and prime it with material.
a. Go to Mix mode.
b. Trigger the gun into a grounded metal pail until
mixed material flows from the gun nozzle.
c. To begin operation, see Start Up, page 67.

Color Change Procedures

Multiple Color Systems
1. Shut off air to the gun.
2. Place the gun in the gun flush box if used, and close the lid.
3. Go to Standby
4. Select the new recipe. Begin the color change sequence.
5. If a gun flush box is not used, trigger the gun (manual or automatic) into a grounded metal pail until the color change sequence is complete.
NOTE: The color change timer does not start until a Gun Trigger input is seen and fluid flow is detected. If no flow is detected within 2 minutes, the color change operation aborts. The system enters
Standby mode (remove Mix input) at the previ-
ous color.
6. When you are ready to spray, remove the gun from the gun flush box if used, and close its door (manual and semi-automatic systems only).
NOTE: The gun flush box door must be closed for the atomizing air valve to open.
mode (remove Mix input).

Color Change Sequences

FIG. 78 through FIG. 95 illustrate various color change sequences. See Table 12 to determine which figure to reference, based on the recipe change and system con­figuration. The time sequences are detailed in the fol­lowing paragraphs.
NOTE: See Setup Mode on page 25 to select purge sources and set desired purge, chop, and fill times.
NOTES:
The system uses old recipe data for the purge cycle. However, it opens the new color valve based on the new recipe data.
The system uses the new recipe data for the fill cycle.
For the one gun flush box (GFB) option, the spray gun must be inserted in the GFB during the entire color change cycle (purge and fill). The GFB trigger output will be on during the recipe change cycle.
For the two gun flush box (GFB) option, both spray guns must be inserted in the GFBs during the entire color change cycle (purge and fill). The system will turn each GFB trigger output on and off based on the preset time for each gun.
For Special Outputs options, the system will turn each output on and off based on the preset times. Each Special Output has two different start times and durations.
7. Enter Mix mode to start spraying.
For systems without dump valves, the First Purge begins after the Color Change steps are completed.
Single Color Systems
1. Follow procedure for Purging Fluid Supply Sys­tem, page 74.
2. Load the new color. See Start Up, page 67.
3. Enter Mix mode to start spraying.
78 3A1080C
When going from Recipe X to Recipe 0, only the purge cycle data from Recipe 0 is used.
When going from Recipe 0 to Recipe X, only the fill cycle data from Recipe X is used.
Color Change
Color Purge/Dump
Step P0-P1
This sequence flushes out the color with solvent, from the color valve to the Dump A valve.
The color change solvent valve and the Dump A valve open during the Purge Time.
The color change solvent valve closes when the Purge Time expires.
Color Fill
Step P1-P2
This sequence fills the line with the new color all the way to the Dump A valve.
The new color valve and the Dump A valve open during the Fill Time.
The new color valve and the Dump A valve close when the Fill Time expires.
First Purge
Step M0-M1
Select the First Purge Source (air, solvent, or 3rd valve) and First Purge Time. For most applications, air is selected.
Final Purge
Step M2-M3
Select the Final Purge Source (air, solvent, or 3rd valve) and Final Purge Time. For most applications, solvent is selected.
The system fills the line with solvent from the dose valves to the gun, using only the selected purge media (usually solvent). The selected purge valve opens during the Final Purge Time and closes when the time expires.
Fill
Step M3-M4
This sequence fills the line from the dose valves to the gun, and is also referred to as the mixed material fill. The system begins dispensing component A until the Fill Time expires.
Purge Active
Step M0-M3
The system turns on the Purge/Recipe Change Purge Active output during steps M0-M3.
Fill Active
Step M3-M4
The system turns on the Recipe Change Fill Active out­put during step M3-M4.
The system purges the old material from the dose valves to the gun, using only the selected purge media (usually air). The selected purge valve opens during the First Purge Time and closes when the time expires.
Chop Cycle
Step M1-M2
Select the Chop Type (air/solvent or air/3rd valve) and Chop Times.
The air purge valve opens only during the air chop cycle, and the solvent (or 3rd valve) opens only during the sol­vent chop cycle. The number of chop cycles is deter­mined by dividing the Total Chop Time by the sum of the Air and Solvent Chop Times.

1. Close all the manifold valves.
2. Turn on the circulating pumps and all the booth equipment (such as fans and conveyors).
3. Check if the ProControl 1KS is reading any fluid flow.
4. If the ProControl 1KS shows there is fluid flow and there are no leaks from the gun or any other seals or fittings, the flow meters are probably being affected by pressure pulsations.
5. Close the fluid shutoff valve between the fluid supply system and the flow meter. The flow indication should stop.
6. If necessary, install pressure regulators or a surge tank on the fluid inlets to the ProControl 1KS to reduce the fluid supply pressure. Contact your Graco distributor for information.

delay is required when switching from Mix to Purge or vice versa.
NOTE: The I/O alarm incorporates several sub-alarms relating to internal data issues, as detailed below. These alarms may not apply to all software versions.
Fluid Plate Reboot (FP Reboot): Occurs if the system detects a fluid plate control board reboot or power cycle not triggered from the EasyKey. The system reverts to Recipe 61, and mixed material may be in the lines.
Autokey Lost: Occurs if the Autokey is lost or changed after having been detected. (A short term loss of the Autokey will not be registered.) Some system functions may become unavailable. For example, an automatic system will not respond to PLC or robot control.
Illegal Source: Occurs if a recipe outside of the range 1-60 is detected as the source data for global recipe data copies. This is possible if an invalid configuration file is sent to the EasyKey.
2K/3K Error: Occurs if the recipe data is incompatible with the current Autokey setting (2K or 3K). This is possi­ble if the Autokey is changed or an invalid configuration file is sent to the EasyKey.
Init Error: Occurs if the recipe data codes specifying the type of machine they were made on are not what is expected. For example, a 3KS machine receives a con­figuration file originally made on a 2KS machine.
Config Error: Occurs if a configuration file sent to the EasyKey specifies a different hardware setup than what exists. For example, the configuration file specifies 2 color change boards but only 1 is present.
Flush the system or perform a color change. If possible, identify the origin of the reboot or power cycle.
Reinstall the Autokey, or verify that the Autokey is set properly.
Verify that the source data is from a valid recipe (1-60).
Verify that the Autokey is set properly or that the configu­ration file is valid.
