Component Identification Component Identification Slim model shown on the left. Dual Low Profile model shown on the right. . 1: Hot Melt Applicator Component Identification Key: Module Mounting Clamp (1/2 in, diameter bar) Fluid Outlet Solenoid valve (24 VDC) Fluid Filter Air inlet (1/4 in.
Overview Overview Grounding The applicator uses the air-opened, air-closed mode of operation. It uses a five-way exhausting solenoid to control the piston inside the valve. Fluid is filtered through the manifold filter (C) before entering the valve The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk fluid inlet port.
Installation Installation Mounting 2. Remove the existing clamp and replace the bottom part with the new clamp A. NOTICE 3. Before mounting to the rod, loosely thread screw C To prevent heat transferring into other components of into block A and thread screw D through block B into the packaging line, ensure that the insulator is the assembly.
Installation Recommended Air Setup Connect Triggering Device 1. Connect tubing from the air filter (Graco part no. All GM100 valves use a 24 VDC solenoid valve. If the 106148) to the air regulator. voltage to the solenoid exceeds 24 VDC, premature failure will occur.
Installation Flush Install Nozzle Use a 1/2 in. wrench to install the nozzle. See Kits and Accessories on page 37. NOTE: Do NOT cycle the module until the temperature setpoint has been achieved. Cycling the module below the temperature setpoint may cause premature seal leakage.
Operation Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection and splashing fluid, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
Clean hot melt from the exterior of the applicator. To establish a preventative maintenance cycle tailored to Weekly: your environment, Graco recommends inspecting filters Inspect the applicator, fluid lines, cordset, and solenoid every 4 weeks after installation and replacing when cable for wear or damage.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11 before checking or repairing the applicator. 2. Check all possible problems and causes before disassembling the applicator. Problem Cause Solution No adhesive or incorrect amount of Plugged manifold filter Replace the manifold filter.

Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution Speed has reduced on one module Low air pressure to solenoid valve Check the air supply. Low fluid pressure Check the adhesive delivery system. Low applicator temperature Check the heat operation. See the “Applicator will not heat” section on page 14.
Troubleshooting Check Module Check Nozzle and Module Check the module operation to verify if the module has Trigger the applicator without the nozzle to determine if failed and needs to be replaced. the nozzle of the module is clogged. 1. Disable the applicator assembly. See Before 1.
Troubleshooting Check Heater Table 1: 24W087, 24X039, 24X760, or 25E783 Pt 100 (385) RTD Cordset Check the continuity of the heater to verify proper Description resistance. If there is no continuity, the heater has failed Thermal Cutoff and needs to be replaced. Ground 1.
Troubleshooting Check RTD Check Thermal Cutoff Check the continuity of the RTD to verify proper If working properly, the cutoff will trip at 500° F (260° C) resistance. If here is no continuity, the RTD has failed and rest at 420° F (216° C). If failure is suspected, allow and needs to be replaced.
