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.
3A1164B9
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.
Grounding
Grounding
Your system must be grounded. See the Grounding
instructions in your ProControl 1KS Installation manual.
Check Resistance
To ensure proper grounding, resistance between ProControl components and true earth ground must be
less than 1 ohm.
Have a qualified electrician check resistance between
each ProControl component and true earth ground. If
resistance is greater than 1 ohm, a different ground site
may be required. Do not operate the system until the
problem is corrected.
NOTE: If a Dose Time alarm (E-7, E-8) occurs, clear
the alarm.

Troubleshooting
NOTE: Refer to the Schematic Diagrams, page 26.
If the dispense or purge valves are not turning on or off correctly, it could be caused by one of the following.
CauseSolution
1. Air regulator pressure set too
high or too low.
2. Air or electrical lines damaged or
connections loose.
Check air pressure. 80-90 psi (550-630 kPa, 5.5-6.3 bar) is commonly used.
Do not go below 70 psi (490 kPa, 4.9 bar) or above 120 psi (0.8 MPa, 8 bar).
Visually inspect air and electrical lines for kinks, damage, or loose connections. Service or replace as needed.
3. Solenoid failureManually operate the valves by removing the Fluid Station cover and press-
ing and releasing solenoid valve override buttons. F
IG. 4.
Use the control board diagnostics to check the signals. If signals do not
occur correctly, go to Cause 4.
Valves should snap open and shut quickly. If the valves actuate slowly, it
could be caused by:
•Air pressure to the valve actuators is too low. See Cause 1.
•Solenoid is clogged. Make sure air supply has 10 micron filter installed.
•Something is restricting the solenoid or tubing. Check for air output from
air line for corresponding solenoid when valve is actuated. Clear restriction.
•A dose valve is turned in too far. See ProControl 1KS Operation manual
for settings.
•Fluid pressure is high and air pressure is low.
4. Solenoid, cable, or fluid station
control board failure.
Check voltage level to solenoid by pulling solenoid connector and checking
voltage between pins.
If voltage is 9-15 VDC, the solenoid is damaged. Replace solenoid or correct
electrical line problem.
