Introduction Introduction With a micro dispensing system of the MDS 1000 line from VERMES Microdispensing you have bought a high quality product. Due to the long-standing experience of the team in regards to modern devices and electronic controls, these products provide highest functionality and reliability.
VERMES Microdispensing does not accept any liability for material damages or personal injury originating from inappropriate use, violation of safety prescriptions, or any procedure inconsistent with the instructions of this manual.
In an emergency, a short reaction time may be crucial. If the system is transmitted to any other department or institution, this manual must accompany VTK-TR-BA-155e-A - User Manual MDS 1560-V Series...
Safety Notes 2.3 Contracted Use The system MDS 1560-V has been designed for ultra-precise contactless dispensing of fluids in a large range of viscosity (up to 2000000 mPas), in unfilled or filled state (also with abrasive extenders), to be operated stationary in a conveniently equipped industrial environment, which allows the positioning and controlling of the dispensing system.
Transient overvoltage tolerated, max. degree of soiling: 2 • Power cables must feature a protective conductor. In the case of cables not delivered by Vermes Microdispensing, the guarantee for the MDS is valid only up from the interface. • Power outlets must comply with common safety prescriptions.
The MDV is normally open, if the actuator pressure is turned off, and the transported liquid can flow (exception: normally closed function is activated, see paragraph 6.3.2, page 51). Before switching OFF the microdispensing system, do not forget to lower the cartridge pressure to atmospheric pressure. VTK-TR-BA-155e-A - User Manual MDS 1560-V Series...

For nozzle inserts, special steel, stainless steel and ceramics options are permanently in store, allowing for perfect tailoring of the configuration to the needs of the particular application. E.g. do we recommend using mounting bodies and tightening screws of stainless steel for very low viscosity media. VTK-TR-BA-155e-A - User Manual MDS 1560-V Series...
Be aware that you cannot switch the voltage of the PLC interface to 5 V, if you use the valve without MDC. Your PLC connection has to be designed to work with 24 V. VTK-TR-BA-155e-A - User Manual MDS 1560-V Series...
3 bar). In case the actuator pressure sinks below 1.5 bar, you get an error. If you reset the dispensing parameters to the factory settings (see paragraph 8.7 "Factory Settings", page 71), the target value for the actuator pressure is set to 5 bar.

6.3.2 Normally Closed What is a normally closed function? When working with the MDS 1560-V system, it is possible to use a normally closed function by adding mechanical parts in the pressure supply. This function is especially helpful in case the pressure supply is disconnected manually or accidentally, since the MDV 1560-V can stay closed for a longer time, thanks to the pressure supplied by the pressure tank.
4.5.6 "Submenus “Act. Pressure” and “Cart. Pressure”", page 36). When using a mechanical pressure regulator, it is important to check the actual pressure regularly, or to use the pressure alert (see paragraph 6.1.2 "Using the Pressure Alert", page 47), VTK-TR-BA-155e-A - User Manual MDS 1560-V Series...
