Operating and maintenance instructions

1 Introduction

Dear customer,
we congratulate you on buying your Dosing system. We are certain that it will fully meet your requirements. We wish you trouble-free and successful operation.
The dosing system eco-CONTROL EC200-K is made up of the dosing control and the 2K dispensers.
The Dosing system has been designed and tested for the most precise work with our dispensers. The Dosing system has a wide variety of setting options for the dosing quantity and time. All the values that are related to production can be saved and changed at any time. Operation is done via an intuitive operator guidance system using a graphic user interface. It is possible to operate two dispensers at the same time. It is possible to set it up for other dispensers at any time without noteworthy setting-up times.
The dispensers have been developed and tested for high-precision work with products ranging from low to high viscosity with extremely high repeat precision.
They are rotating displacement systems consisting of a rotor and stator and can be dismantled in no time. A number of voids are produced as a result of the various geometries of the conveying elements. Turning the rotor in the stator creates conveyance which is either proportional to the angle of rotation or rpm-dependent.
Since the direction of flow is reversible, the medium can be sucked back to allow a clean break of the thread. Self-sealing depends on the viscosity.
We would be glad of your help as part of our efforts to maintain our standard of quality at the highest possible level. Please tell us about any possible ways we can improve our product.

4 Safety

4.1 Informal safety measures

- The operating and maintenance manual must be kept, together with the operating and maintenance manual of the dispenser(s), at the site where the dosing system is used at all times.
- General and local regulations on health, safety and environmental protection must also be provided and complied with.

4.2 Use of symbols

The following symbols are used in these instructions:
Text in italics
-List
1. Numbered listing of a work flow sequence 1 Legend number in an illustration
Names of keys/buttons, connectors, chapters, screen displays, proper names and input boxes
Listing of the work flow sequence
Warning note. Failure to observe these notes may result in injury and damage to the Dosing system.
Reference to technical information about operation and / or about preventing damage.

4.3 Correct use, warranty

The Dosing system is designed for controlling our dispensers in non explosion-protected environments.
Any
- modifications and additions,
- use of non-genuine spare parts,
- repairs by persons or organisations not authorised by the manufacturer
- use without original sensors for monitoring dosing pressure
that are done without the explicit and written approval of the manufacturer, can lead to the warranty being rendered null and void.
The manufacturer shall have no liability whatsoever for damage resulting from failure to follow the Operating and maintenance instructions.
The chemical resistance of the parts which come into contact with the product (see the commissioning and maintenance manual of the dispenser) must be ensured prior to commissioning.

Operating and maintenance instructions

4.4 Qualifications of the operators and maintenance personnel

The operating organisation is responsible for ensuring that the operators and maintenance personnel are suitably qualified. The Operating and maintenance instructions must have been read and understood. The relevant technical rules and safety regulations must be complied with.

4.5 Organisational measures

The necessary personal protective equipment must be provided by the operating organisation. All safety devices that are fitted must be checked regularly. Safety glasses and overalls must be worn during operation and cleaning to provide protection against any splashes of chemicals.
All of the safety information contained in the respective Operating and maintenance instructions for the dispenser(s) that are connected to the Dosing system must be complied with.

4.6 Preparation for commissioning - visual inspection

The Dosing system must be visually examined each day before the start of work and before all shift changes. If there is any doubt as to the system's readiness for operation, it must be shut down immediately and inspected by a specialist before operation resumes.

4.7 Preventing material damage to the motors of the 2K-dispenser

The 2K-dispenser lead (connector 16, Chapter 5.2, Connections, on page 11) may only be connected and disconnected when the power supply is isolated. The electronics in the drive motor could be damaged if this precaution is not taken.
The 2K-dispenser should only be operated with the original pressure sensors connected, which have been adapted to the controller.

4.8 Sources of danger due to Dosing system

Failure to follow the instructions given below can result in damage to the unit and possible severe injury to persons in the vicinity.
- Very high dosing pressures can be produced, depending on the viscosity and the speed of rotation, and this could result in unintended spurting out of the medium. Check the
flow quantity in relation to the dosing needle used (needle cross-section).
- When it is started up for the first time and after being refilled, air bubbles that are included in the medium could cause an uncontrollable spurting out of the outlet nozzle.
Only start production operation once the Dosing system has been completely bled.
- Wear suitable protective clothing if chemical, corrosive or dangerous products are being used. Note and comply with the safety stipulations and the information from the manufacturer. Ensure sufficient bleeding or extraction of air. Take special safety precautions if working with dangerous media, for example, provide eye flushing facilities if working with corrosive chemicals.

5.4 Functional and operational schematic

The interaction of the screen displays, the input dialog and the function keys:
The control system has an intuitive input dialog. The selection or the change of a value is offered on the screen to suit the relevant program section. The corresponding area (A) on the screen is then shown as inverse or framed.
The status bar (B) provides plain text messages in accordance with the input dialogs.
NAVI wheel (See 5.1, Displays and controls, page 10) Enables rapid selection, input and confirmation of different functions.
The rotation of the NAVI wheel switches to the next or previous selection, depending on the direction of rotation, or changes a value.
A press of the NAVI wheel confirms a selection or a change in value that had just been made. (Alternatively, the Return key can also be used for confirmation)
The illumination of the NAVI-wheel signalises the following operating states: Blue = Ready for operation, Green = Dosing in progress, Red = Fault.
Changing a setting value
1. Select the value to be changed by rotating the NAVI wheel, the value is shown in inverse.
2. Press the NAVI wheel, numbered items can be selected individually.
3. Select a numbered item by rotating the NAVI wheel, the numbered item flashes.
4. Press the NAVI wheel, the numbered item is shown in inverse.
5. Change the value by rotating the NAVI wheel and press the NAVI wheel for confirmation, the numbered item flashes again. Another numbered item can be selected.
6. If further numbered items are to be changed, start again from 3., and if not, continue.
7. Press the PRG key to confirm the change, the value that has just been set is shown in inverse, if other values can be changed in the input dialog, these can now be reached by rotating the NAVI wheel.
Esc
Used to quit an input dialog. In some cases it also assumes other functions. If that is the case, this is shown in plain text in the status line.
