Installation Ventilation DuraBlue II melters are cooled by forced air. Air is drawn in through by the ventilation fan and is exhausted out of the ventilation slots at the top of the melter. CAUTION! Do not block the fan air intake openings or the exhaust ventilation slots.
The melter must be installed where it will be in conformance with the ventilation requirements specified in the Safety Data Sheet for the hot melt being used. The melter should not be exposed to excessive vibration. Part 1126931_01 E 2018 Nordson Corporation...
Before starting the installation, remove the melter from the pallet, locate the installation kit, and inspect the melter for damaged and missing parts. Report any problems to your Nordson representative. Moving the Unpacked Melter When moving the melter, always support the melter by placing any lifting device under the chassis.
Installation Configuring the Electrical Service DuraBlue II melters are shipped from the factory without an attached power cable. To configure the melter to function in your facility, you must connect a properly rated power cable. The maximum power draw of the melter for any supported service code is 86 A.
