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:
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.
Holding the barrel as shown, rest the tip on a piece of paper. Press
the foot pedal until the tip fills and some fluid is pushed out onto the
paper. Repeat this whenever you change to a new tip.
With the tip filled, turn the timer bypass switch off (yellow light out).
Use the Dot Test sheet supplied, and press the foot pedal to activate
the timer. Check the dot size. Press the foot pedal again and note
the size consistency.
Remember—When the yellow timer bypass switch is on, a continu-
ous flow of material will occur as long as the foot pedal is pressed.
The yellow light must be off to make timed deposits.
Try different pressure settings. Continue to experiment by replacing
the green tip with the blue (22 gage) tapered tip included in the Dot
Test Kit. Note the effects of air pressure and tip size on the deposit.
