    CALIBRATING THE HOPPER-EMPTY SENSOR

    The melter is shipped with the hopper empty sensor calibrated for standard PUR adhesive. If recalibration becomes necessary, follow this procedure. See Figure 5-3 1. Operate the melter normally until the reservoir is empty, but leave the empty foil bag in place in the hopper. 2. Loosen the hopper-empty sensor (1) and move it to the lowest position on the piston. (2) 3. Move the sensor up until its LED illuminates and then secure the sensor at this location.

    • NordsonPURBlueHopperEmptySensor.jpg

    CALIBRATING THE LEVEL SENSORS

    The melter is shipped with both level sensors calibrated for standard PUR adhesive. If recalibration becomes necessary, follow this procedure. 1. Operate the melter normally until the reservoir is empty. If the slug in the hopper is not empty, lift out the solid slug before pumping the adhesive from the reservior. 2. Remove all debris or cured adhesive from the sensor probes. Refer to "Cleaning the Reservoir and Level Sensors" earlier in this section, then return here to continue. 3. Ensure that the melter switch is on. 4. See Figure 5-4. Open the electrical enclosure and locate the two sensor amplifiers (items 1 and 2 in Figure 5-4) WARNING! Risk of equipment damage, personal injury, or death. This procedure requires you to perform work inside the electrical enclosure with the power on. Follow electrical safety procedures and observe all high-voltage indicators. 5. Remove the plugs that cover the sensor adjustment screws. 6. Turn each adjustment screw as follows: - clockwise until the LED turns yellow, - counterclockwise until the LED turns green - counterclockwise two(2) additional turns. NOTE: When a LED turns yellow, the system believes that adhesive is present. Because we know that adhesive is not present, turning an adjustment screw counterclockwise until LED turns green and then adding an additional two (2) counterclockwise turns calibrates the sensors.

    USING THE TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHART

    NOTE: To use the pump operating variables table, ensure that the PUMP MODE key LED is on and that the motor speed is at a setting other than 0. In addition, ensure that the reservoir is not empty. The flowchart, which is provided at the end of this section, is designed to assist you in diagnosing and correcting a complete or partial stop in hot melt output from the guns. The chart is organized in a simple question-action block format. If your response to a question is yes (+), continue downward in the chart to the next question or action block. If your response is no(-), continue to the right to the next question or action block. All diagnostic paths within the chart end with an action block that specifies one of the following courses of action: - Refer to information provided elsewhere in this manual - Refer to component. To return your melter to service as quickly as possible, the chart is designed under the assumption that it is preferable to immediately replace a faulty assembly as opposed to conduction detailed diagnostics and repair of the assembly while the melter is out of service. Use of the chart assumes that the melter is installed correctly and that it is set up to support the current manufacturing process. Refer to Section 3, "Installation" for information about installing and setting up the melter.

    • NorsonPURBluePumpmodekeyAB.jpg

    TROUBLESHOOTING QUICK-CHECKS

    Before using the troubleshooting charts confirm: - whether or not the service was recently performed on the melter or the melter's settings were recently adjusted. - the correct voltage plug is installed on connector X1 and/or X2. Refer to the Section 3, "Installation", for information about selecting the correct voltage plug. - External inputs (if used) are functioning properly. - the standby or clock functions are not turned on (if not required or expected at the current time).

    TROUBLESHOOTING - RETURNING THE MELTER SETUP TO FACTORY SETTINGS

    By returning the melter to its factory setting many common melter problems can be isolated to either a problem with the melter settings or the melter hardware. To return the melter to its factory settings, switch the melter off, simultaneously press the SETUP and RIGHT DISPLAY SCROLL DOWN keys, and then switch the melter back on, holding the SETUP and RIGHT DISPLAY SCROLL DOWN keys until the letters PUR appear on the right display. NOTE: If PUR does not appear upon a first attempt at factory reset, switch the melter back on, holding the RESERVOIR and CLEAR/RESET keys. and then switch the melter back on, holding the RESERVOIR and CLEAR/RESET keys until the letters PUR appear on the right display. This will reset the melter as a PUR melter.
