3 GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1 Unpacking and inspection
GD30I is a dispenser in the Flexicon Multi Filling System (FMFS). The GD30I cannot do fillings by
itself, but must be connected to Flexicon's control unit, MC12, or to a PC with RS485 multidrop
communication.
Please check that all ordered items have been received and that no it em s were damaged during
transport. In case of any def ects or omissions, please contact Flexicon A/S or your supplier
immediately.
When ordering spare parts or accessories for the GD30I, please state the serial number stamped.
The serial number is stamped on the label on the bott om of the GD30I.
Please check that the connected mains plug is of the correct type with the correct earthed switch.
If this is not the case, the cor r ect type of plug must be mounted with the following connections.
Yellow/green - earth
Blue - neutral
Brown - phase
ALWAYS REMEMBER that this machine must be ear thed.
3.2 The Dispensing Principle
GD30I operates with a pump of positive displacement rot ar y type. The volume at the inlet
increases when the gears rotate and the product ids drawn into the pum p. I t is then transported in
the space between the gears and the periphery of the body to the discharge side. The volume
between the gears is reduced here and the product is f or c ed out through the outlet.
The gears operate without metallic contact with casing. The pumps have gears in AISI 316 acid
resistant steel (PTFE impreg nated). This gives an efficient per formance and gentle handling of
liquids products.
The gaskets are made of EPDM.
THE PUMP MUST NOT RUN DRY.
The best performance is reached with a positive product suppor t.
The pump needs a filling nozzle with cut off valve.

OPERATORS MANUAL
3.3 Installation
GD30I must be placed on a stable bedplate, and all electrical connect ions ar e on it s r ear.
Machine Type:
GD30I
Fig. 3.1
The cable with plug (1) is connected to an earthed switch.
The communication cable from MC12 (type 3) comes fitted with two 4-pin DIN plugs. One is
connected to the "net 1" socket ( 2) on t he GD30I, and the other plug is connected to the " net"
socket on MC12.
The terminator supplied with MC12 (4-pin blind DIN plug) is connected t o the "net 2" (3) socket on
GD30I.
Should the system be operating with more than one GD30I, t he " net 2" socket (3) is to be
connected to the "net 1" socket ( 2) on t he next G D30I by a communicat ion cable ( t ype 3). The
terminator is connected to the last G D30I on t he line.
Address "1" is the factory setting of GD30I. In case you want to change this setting, please consult
section 1.4 in this manual.
GD30I is now ready to be switched on and to be programmed from t he MC12.

3.4 Addressing of filling station
Fig. 3.2
Address "1" is the factory setting of GD30I.
If the GD30I is one of several filling stations in a system, none of t he st ations may have the same
address and it must therefore be changed.
Change of address is perfor m ed via a dip-switch placed at the bot tom of the GD30I. This change
may only be carried out when the machine is turned off at t he main switch.
Addresses between 1 and 16 may be chosen, and Fig. 3.2 shows the various combinations.

The dimension of tubes mounted at t he inlet and discharge side should minimum be 7/8" and 1/2"
respectively.

If the product is of high viscosity, it is necessary to mount a hopper for g ood pr oduct suppor t of the
pump - see Fig. 5.2.
The dispenser head is now ready for operation.

6 PROGRAMMING
6.1 Programming principle
In the following, a parameter will be the value of a single function, e.g. volume, or acceleration.
A program will be a complete set of par am et ers which together will constitute the GD30I work
instructions.
The actual programming will be made on the MC12 and ref er ence is m ade to the MC12 manual.
6.2 GD30I parameters
1. Volume
Value: ml
Range: 10 - 9999 ml
GD30I can dispense from 10 to 9999 ml, but for volumes exceeding approx. 1000 ml, the capacity
will drop significantly.
If the volume is changed, a recalibration should be made.
2. Velocity:
Range: 30-750 rpm
The velocity must be adjusted to the viscosity of the product , and Fig. 6.1 gives a guideline for th is.
Fig. 6.1
In case of large velocity changes or big changes in the dispense volume a recalibration should be
carried out.
GD30I OM 1.01 EN Ver 1.01 Date 24-08-2006 Page 10 of 15
OPERATORS MANUAL
3. Acceleration/deceleration
Value: An integral number
Range: 1 - 100
The acceleration and the deceleration will always be the same. The lowest value (1) will give the
slowest acceleration, and the highest value (100) will give the fastest acceler ation.
If the acceleration is changed, a r ecalibration should be made.
4. Reversing (back suction)
Value: An integral number
Range: 0 - 10
If the pump is moved a little backwards (r eversing) after the completion of fillings, a minor back
suction will be created. This can prevent dripping f rom the filling needle.
The value "0" will give no reversing, but the value "10" will give maximum r evers ing.
ALWAYS make a recalibration if the revers ing value is altered.
For other programming possibilit ies, reference is made to the MC12 manual.

7 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
7.1 Daily cleaning
Daily cleaning will not be necessary except for the normal routine cleaning of production
equipment. Liquids must NO T be splashed onto GD30I. It may only be cleaned with a damp piece
of paper or cloth.
7.2 Maintenance
As all movable parts in GD30I are maintenance-free, no maintenance is required apar t from
normal cleaning of the eq uipm ent .
If service should be needed, please contact your supplier or Flexicon A/S.
