Input air Power Input Port The power input port is located at the top left corner of the Ultra 2400. The Ultra 2400 power pack automatically adjusts for 100 to 240 VAC. Use only the universal power pack provided with the Ultra 2400 workstation. The unit is shipped with four power plugs (one USA and three international plugs) and a 5.9 ft (1800 mm) length power cord.

Syringe Barrel Caution: Do not completely fill syringe barrels. The optimum fill is a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when using the EFD blue LV Barrier ™ piston. For best results, we strongly recommend that you use a piston as part of your dispensing system.
Note: For best results when dispensing watery-thin fluids, EFD recommends the use of the Vacuum Suck-Back Filter Trap (part #2435). This is guaranteed to prevent fluid from being sucked back into the dispenser. See page 26 for a sample drawing, or call EFD or email info@efd-inc.com for details.
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. Using air pressure, the barrel loader fills the syringe barrel (with a piston installed) from the bottom up.
Please follow these instructions to test each function. Use the convenient Dot Standards sheet included in your dispensing system kit. Setup for Testing 1. Attach an EFD syringe barrel filled with your assembly fluid to the adapter assembly as shown.

This password locks out the ability to change dispense time, clear the shot count and modify settings in Memory. The password is required to access the Security screen.

Voltage Initiate Circuit The Ultra 2400 workstation may be initiated with a 5 to 24 VDC signal across pins 1 and 2. The signal can be momentary (no less than 0.01 seconds) or maintained. A new cycle will begin once power is removed and then applied again.
Be sure that there is power at the wall receptacle. Note: there is a resettable internal fuse on the Ultra 2400 unit, so there is no need to ever replace the fuse. Allow unit to cool down, and it will reset itself as necessary.
5. Use EFD SmoothFlow pistons to make barrel loading, dispensing and handling cleaner, safer and more accurate. Caution: If you dispense watery fluids and choose not to use EFD pistons, do not increase vacuum pressure rapidly and do not tip the barrel. Vacuum may pull fluid into the adapter hose;...
