1000 Series Specifications dures for the 1000XL and 1000D dispensers. Input voltage: Selectable If you have the 1000XL, first review pages 6 - 9 which illustrate how 100/120/220 VAC 50/60 Hz 16/13 VA to hook up the dispenser and what the controls do.
Air pressure should be between 80 and 100 psi (5.5 to 6.9 bar). (Bottled nitrogen can be used.) If you are not using an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755, be certain your plant air is properly filtered and dry.

1000XL -- Hookup Connect the air input hose to a plant air source. Set plant air supply within 80 to 100 psi (5.5 to 6.9 bar). Where required, use an EFD five-micron filter regulator #2000F755 (see Warranty). Attach the air input hose coupling to the dispenser. Pull back metal ring to attach to dispenser.

1000XL -- Setup for Testing Power switch should be off. The amount of material dispensed each cycle depends on the combination of air pressure, time of air pulse, viscosity of material and dispensing tip size. The first step is to remove the tip cap from the pre-filled barrel of blue test material (twist and pull).

The first step is to remove the tip cap from the pre-filled barrel of blue test material (twist and pull).
Testing the 1000 Series Dispensers Making Timed Deposits You are now ready to test the pre-filled, nontoxic, blue test fluid. This material is representative of thick, non-leveling fluids like sealants, pastes or greases. Check your initial settings: Pressure Timer A) Air gauge reads 30 psi B) Timer is set at #7 C) Green tapered tip is on the test barrel D) Power and timer bypass switches are on.
Page 15
Changing Deposit Size, Drawing Stripes The dot size is determined by the tip diameter, the air pressure output setting and the pulse time. For large dots, use a large tip, higher pressure and more time. Normally, you want to use as short a time pulse as possible.

Advanced Dispensing System If you dispense thick fluids, several problems may For Thick Fluids occur. First, the repetitive air cycles can bore tunnels through non-leveling fluids, causing spitting and inconsistent deposits. Second, thick Air Pressure Air Pressure fluids contain trapped air that leads to drooling and oozing.
Page 17
If you use low to medium viscosity fluids, the white For Thin Fluids ™ SmoothFlow piston has several advantages. First, vacuum adjustment is much less sensitive. Second, the piston prevents fumes from the fluid being exhausted into the work environment. Third, the piston prevents fluid backflow into the dis- penser if the barrel is inadvertently turned upside down.
How to Use the Vacuum Control (1000XL only) The vacuum control allows low viscosity fluids, even water, to be consistently dispensed without dripping between cycles. The vacuum exerts a negative pressure on the fluid in the barrel and prevents dripping.

Now the fluid is in proper balance. It does not bubble or drip. Repeat tests as before, keeping the air pressure low and adjust- ing the time for different deposit sizes. Contact EFD if you have Use an EFD filter trap (#1000FLT-Y).
Loading the Barrel Reservoirs Caution: Do not completely fill barrels. The optimum fill is a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when using the LV Barrier ™ If the fluid you are dispensing is pourable, take the barrel, twist on a tip cap and pour your fluid in.
Page 21
Here are a few suggestions that can help keep your work area clean, save time and reduce the chance of entrapped air in the fluid. 1. You could use the EFD #920BL barrel loader. Pack the fluid into the 12 ounce cartridge as shown. Then place the pre-filled cartridge into the barrel loader.
EFD in the USA. If you find you need more reservoir capacity than 55cc, consider the 2 1/2, 6 or 12 ounce cartridges. Contact EFD for assistance and specific recommendations based on your application. Tip Selection The EFD 5100 Component Kit included with the dispenser contains a complete selection of disposable tips.
1. Check to be sure timer bypass switch is off (yellow light out). TIMER SEEMS INOPERATIVE 2. Check DIP switch positions (see page 25). Note: The EFD timer is very reliable. Most questions about the timer are resolved by simply turning the timer bypass switch off (yellow light out).
Programmable Timer The heart of each 1000 Series dispenser is the EFD advanced solid- DIP Switch Settings state, digital timer with programmable time ranges and choice of Momentary (press the foot pedal once) or Maintained (hold foot 1 2 3 4 pedal down during time cycle) initiation modes.
Adapter hose support keeps air hose off the work area. 6. Depending on the type of work you are doing, it may be easier to bring the work to the barrel. Mount the barrel on the EFD stand #7300A.
