    • The TS9800 System can be used for dispensing fluids with a wide range of fluid viscosity. • Additional heating may only be carried out with a heating system from Techcon Systems • The usage of the TS9800 System can be carried out under laboratorial or production environment.
  • Page 5 • The TS9800 System is constructed modularly. If a defect occurs, the effected module should not be interchanged with other parts. The whole system needs to be sent back to Techcon Systems for repair. The cables can stay with the customer but need to be checked. Information of how to check the performance is available from Techcon Systems.

  • Page 6: Unpacking And Inspection

    UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Carefully unpack the valve and examine the items contained in the carton. These will include: Jet Valve TS9800 (version shown below is without heater) Jet Valve Controller TS980 Nozzle Insert (order separately) Actuator Cable (3-to-2 pin connectors) Sensor Cable (6-to-5 pin connectors) Heater Cable (4-pin connectors).

  • Page 7: Ts9800 System Description

    TS9800 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The TS9800 Series Jet Valve is a Piezoelectric driven, non-contact dispensing valve capable of handling fluid at different viscosities. Jet Valve offers a fast jetting action producing hundreds of accurate deposits less than one second. Every component of the valve was designed to the highest tolerances and manufactured to the strictest degree of precision insuring world class accuracy and repeatability in drop-to-drop dispensing volume.

  • Page 8: Setup Instructions

    SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Mounting & Connection The TS9800 Series Jet Valve should be used on an automated XYZ table. It is very important that the valve is mounted on the Z-axis gantry, in a secure manner, that will not allow loosening during dispense operation.

  • Page 9: Setup

    Figure 3: Connection 4.2 Setup WARNING: Before starting the Jet Valve System, carefully read through this user guide and pay attention to the warning and caution notices. Step 1: • Using the provided nozzle adjustment tool (1) to remove the nozzle adjustment nut/bushing assembly (2) and protective nylon washer...
  • Page 10 Step 3: • Install the nozzle insert (7) to the nozzle bushing. Caution: the smaller end of the nozzle inserts faces outward. • Place the bushing/nozzle insert assembly nozzle installation tool in the vertical position to prevent the nozzle insert from dropping out. Step 4: •...
  • Page 11 Step 7: • Mount the syringe bracket (8) by sliding it on the side of the valve, then use the 3mm hex wrench to install the provided M4 screw (9) to secure the bracket in place. • Insert the syringe into the bracket.

  • Page 12: Nozzle Calibration

    Step 10: • Turn on the controller by pressing the On/Off switch. Perform the calibration process; this process is to make sure the nozzle insert is placed at the correct position with respect to the tappet. (see next section instructions). 4.3 Nozzle Calibration The nozzle calibration process is to make sure that the nozzle insert is placed at the correct position with respect to the tappet.
  • Page 13 Step 3: Start the calibration procedure by touching the ‘Calibration’ icon Step 4: Use the nozzle adjustment tool to slowly and gently screw (clockwise) the nozzle unit onto the fluid manifold until it stops against the tappet. Then touch the ‘Start’ icon. Step 3: The system will warm up before starting the calibration computation.
  • Page 14 Step 4: Slowly and gently un-screw the nozzle unit (counter-clockwise), using the nozzle adjustment tool if necessary, to move the yellow circle to the center of the green zone. Note: values in the yellow circle are only for reference and it will vary from valve to valve. Caution: The value shown below the green zone does not make a significant difference for the precision of the dispense process if the yellow circle is inside the green zone.
  • Page 15 WARNING: Make sure the nozzle insert and nozzle bushing are properly installed in the nozzle unit before starting the calibration process. Never over-tighten the nozzle unit against the tappet since it can break the tappet or cause pre-matured wear on both tappet and nozzle insert. If the yellow circle can’t be moved to or stay inside the green zone, touch the ‘Accept’...
