  • Page 14: System Operation

    10 EP2 Pump System System Operation See Figure 5. Coating material enters the pump inlet through a low-pressure gravity or siphon feed system. The pressurized coating material passes through the manifold and then is either routed to the spray system through the outlet fitting or, if the two-way ball valve is opened, through the drain rod to a waste container.

    Refer to the System Startup procedures on page 17. 1. Turn the back pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise to de-pressurize the system. 2. Turn off the EP2 pump. 3. If used, shut off the pressure feed. 4. Trigger the applicators.
  • Page 24: Shutdown

    Long-Term Shutdown CAUTION: To prevent damage to the fluid diaphragms and seals, consult a Nordson representative for types of solvents that can be left in the system for long periods of time. 1. If used, turn off the fluid heaters 12−15 min prior to shutdown. Refer to the heater manual for procedures.

    EP2 Pump System Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment WARNING: System pressurized! Use extreme care when making adjustments. The system pressure relief valve opens if the fluid pressure exceeds the valve setting to protect the system and the operators from excessive pressure. If the relief valve fails to operate correctly, replace it immediately.
