The retrofit kit adds adhesive to the sealed tank, reducing the possibility of char, contaminants, thermal shock and incorrect adhesive temperatures that result in poor adhesive bonding. The Fulfill system is shipped with the components illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2 Fulfill system components 1.
A capacitance sensor located in the melter detects low adhesive level, and then sends a signal to the Fulfill system control box. A delay timer prevents the fill system from frequently cycling on and off.
Refer to Figure 3 as you learn about the components of the DuraBlue/VersaBlue 25L and 50LL and 50L Fulfill retrofit assembly. Figure 3 Assembled DuraBlue/VersaBlue 25L and 50LL and 50L Fulfill retrofit assembly. (1). Adhesive Storage Bin Place adhesive in the adhesive storage bin. The bin contains a gasket that prevents debris from entering the bin.
The deflector distributes adhesive evenly in the tank. A safety interlock switch detects whether the melter tank lid is in place. If the tank lid is not in place, the fill system will not operate. Part 1105309A E 2010 Nordson Corporation...

60 seconds, but can be adjusted from 0 to 119 seconds. The factory sets the potentiometer at the 12 o'clock position, sufficient for the majority of applications. For reference, 9 o'clock is 20 seconds and 3 o'clock is 100 seconds. Part 1105309A E 2010 Nordson Corporation...
(7). Sensor The level sensor detects the level of adhesive in the melter tank. When the adhesive falls below the set point, the level sensor sends a signal to the Fulfill control box. For optimal performance based on specific applications, see the Level Sensor Adjustment and Calibration detailed later in the manual.
Prepare the Melter 1. De‐energize the system as directed in the Maintenance section of the DuraBlue/VersaBlue 25L and 50LL and 50L melter manual. CAUTION! Remove dirt and debris from the melter before proceeding with these procedures. Part 1105309A E 2010 Nordson Corporation...
