How The Batch Dispense
Systems Works
Usage
The standard BDS can proportion most two, three or
more component epoxy or polyurethane paints, sol-
vents, inks and a variety of other materials. Depending
on the model selected, up to 20 different fluids (compo-
nents) can be dispensed automatically, and any num-
ber of other materials (liquids, powders, etc.) can be
added manually. The BDS is not for use with "quick–
setting" paints (those with a pot life of less than 15
minutes).
Fluid Supply
The system can be set up to dispense components
supplied from pressure tanks or feed pumps. The
materials can be transferred from their original contain-
ers or from central paint recirculating lines. Each
component material is supplied separately to the BDS
unit. The standard BDS is designed to accurately
dispense batches of 0.6 quarts (0.57 liters) to 55
gallons (208 liters), at average maximum flow rates of
1 GPM (3.8 LPM).
Controller Start Up Sequence
To turn on the BDS, turn the power switch (47) to ON
and make sure the E-stop button (7) is not depressed.
See figure 1. The controller (29) start up sequence
may take up to 5 minutes. The projects and all self
diagnostics are performed during this time. Please wait
for the Main Operating Screen to appear on the Indus-
trial PC (A) before doing anything else with the control-
ler. Any selections made on the screen during start up
may interfere with the process and cause inaccurate
dispenses.

startup and system configuration, the system is
shipped with "P" as the password.
