    Installation Before using the equipment for the first time check it carefully for signs of external damage. If any shipping damage is found DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT – return it to your supplier immediately. 4.1 Environmental and Operating Conditions Keep the pneumatic hose to the dispense valve as short as possible for optimum dispense control.
  • Page 10: Connecting The Unit

    Use flexible pneumatic hoses and Loctite supplied product feedlines to prevent unnecessary loads on the fittings and to ensure compatibility. Ensure all pneumatic and product fittings are tight. No direct sunlight; no UV light. No condensing humidity. No splashing waters.
  • Page 11: Filling And Refilling The Product Reservoir

    If two dispense valves are used, remove blanking plug from the reservoir lid and replace with additional reservoir/tube fitting. 4.3 Filling and Refilling the Product Reservoir Warning! Never fill the product directly into the reservoir! The pneumatic and safety devices would become clogged and therefore ineffective! Warning! Before loosening the reservoir locking knobs (7), the EQ RC50 Integrated Dispenser I4.0 must be depressurized (pressure-free)!
  • Page 12: Operation

    • Loosen the reservoir knobs (7) and remove the lid (8). • Check that there is no condensed moisture at the bottle or the sensor surface. • Place the bottle in the bottle holder (see the right figure). • Check that the product bottle inserted in the bottle holder is pressed again the level sensor.
