Overview Overview Grounding The valve uses the air-opened, spring closed mode of operation. It uses a three-way exhausting solenoid to control the piston inside the valve. Fluid is filtered through the manifold filter before entering the valve The equipment must be grounded to reduce the fluid inlet port.
Installation Installation Mounting 2. Connect the cordset (M) to the hose. 3. Connect the hose inlet to the melter system Mount manifold on a 1/2 in. (12 mm) diameter bar outlet. See the heated hose manual for using mounting clamp (H) to hold the gun assembly installation guidelines.
Installation Connect Triggering Device 5. Place the gasket on the housing and connect the electrical connector into the solenoid valve (J) with the mounting screw. See Fig. Identify if your model uses a 24 VDC or 110 VAC solenoid valve. Connect solenoid valve to 24 VDC or 110 VAC signal.
Operation Install Nozzle Use 1/2 in. wrench to install nozzle. See Kits and Accessories, page Operation Pressure Relief Procedure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Material inside the module and hose may still whenever you see this symbol. be near setpoint temperature. Wear protective clothing to avoid severe burns.
Maintenance Maintenance 2. Remove dirty filter (16) from manifold (1). Material inside the applicator can be near setpoint temperature. Wear protective clothing to avoid severe burns. Daily: Clean hot melt and char from exterior of gun. Weekly: Inspect the applicator, fluid lines, cordset, and solenoid cable for wear or damage.
