Introduction
Modes of Operation
DuraBlue melters operate in the following modes:
Automatic Scan (Normal Mode)
The melter automatically checks and displays the current temperature of the
tank, hoses, and guns to confirm that they are within their pre-defined
temperature range. By default, the melter is always in the automatic scan
mode unless it is placed into another operating mode.
Standby
The temperatures of the tank, hoses, and guns are reduced down from their
operating temperature (hereafter referred to as set-point temperature) by a
pre-set number of degrees.
Setup
The setup mode is used to configure melter control options and features
and to review stored operating data. To prevent unauthorized changes to
the melter’s configuration, the melter can be password-protected.
Fault
The melter alerts the operator when an abnormal event occurs.

customer-wired to the melter and then set up to provide one of the following
control options:
S
S
S
S
Place the melter into the standby mode
Turn the heaters on and off
Enable or disable a specific hose or gun
Turn the motor(s) on and off
Inputs are activated using a constant 10 to 30 VDC signal voltage, which is
supplied by the customer’s control equipment. The inputs are not polarity
sensitive.
WARNING: The operator can override the melter inputs by using the
control panel function keys. Ensure that the control logic for any external
device that sends an input signal to the melter is programmed to prevent the
creation of an unsafe condition in the event that the operator overrides an
external input to the melter.
To wire inputs to the melter
1. Route a 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-conductor signal cable from the control
equipment to the melter, through the smaller of the two PG-penetrations
on the back of the electrical compartment. Use rigid or flexible conduit or
a suitable strain relief to protect the cable from the sharp edge of the
conduit penetration.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of electrical shorting, route the cable so
that it does not touch nearby circuit boards.
See Figure 3-9.
2. Connect each pair of input wires to the appropriate terminals (8 through
14) on connector P/N 277909. If input number four is used, terminal 7 on
connector P/N 227908 must also be used. Both connectors are provided
in the installation kit. Table 3-1 lists the terminal numbers that
correspond to each input.

Setting Up the Melter
After physically installing the melter, it must be set up to support your
manufacturing process. Melter setup consists of enabling or making
changes to factory-set operating parameters that affect the use and function
of the melter. The operating temperature (set-point) of the tank and each
hose and gun is also established during melter setup.
The melter is shipped from the factory with the most commonly used
operating parameters already set up. The factory setup can be modified at
any time to suit your manufacturing process.
Quick Setup
Table 3-3 describes the most commonly used operating parameters and
their factory settings. Review the table to determine if the factory settings for
each parameter will support your manufacturing process. If the default
values for each of these operating parameters are appropriate for your
manufacturing process, then no melter setup is required. Go directly to
Set-point Temperature of the Tank, Hoses, and Guns later in this section to
complete the installation process.
If you need to make changes to the factory setup or if you want to learn
about other operating parameters, go to the next part in this section,
Operating Parameters.

Setpoint Temperature of the Tank, Hoses, and Guns
The melter is shipped from the factory with the tank set-point temperature at
175 °C (350 °F) and the hose and gun set-point temperatures at 0 degrees
(turned off).
Before the melter can be used, a set-point temperature must be assigned to
the tank, hoses, and guns. Assign set-point temperatures using any of the
following methods:
S Global—The tank and all hoses and guns are set to the same set-point
temperature.
S Global-by-component group—All of the hoses or all of the guns are
set to the same set-point temperature.
S Individual Component—The set-point temperature of the tank and
each hose and gun is set individually.
Since most manufacturing processes will require the tank, hoses, and guns
to be set to the same temperature, only the global method of assigning
set-point temperatures is described in this section. For information about the
other two methods of assigning set-point temperatures, refer to Section 4,
Adjusting Component Temperatures.
As with operating parameters, you can also save and restore set-point
temperatures and review past changes that were made to set-point

Heated Components
The melter contains three groups of heated components. These are the
tank group, which contains the tank and the pump, the hose group, and the
gun group. Component groups are represented on the control panel by the
component keys shown to the left.
Component keys
(tank, hose, and gun)
Heated components within each group are identified by their position
number. The position of the tank and pump is fixed at 1. Hose and gun
position numbers are automatically assigned based on the hose/gun
receptacle they are connected to. For example, the position numbers of a
hose/gun pair that is connected to the second receptacle would be hose
position 2 and gun position 2.
NOTE: In some installations, auxiliary devices (such as a heated air
manifold) may be connected to a hose/gun receptacle. In such cases, you
should label (or otherwise identify) the auxiliary device as to the hose or gun
position number that represents the device. The control panel will identify
such devices as a hose or gun, regardless of what the device actually is.

Seven-day Clock Key
Use the seven-day clock key to turn the melter’s clock feature on and off.
When the clock is on, the temperature of each heated component is
automatically regulated based on a set of user-defined schedules.
Seven-day clock key
To accommodate daily shift work and non-working days, four
clock schedules are available. Schedules 1, 2, and 3 are used to specify
when the heaters should turn on and off or when the melter should enter
and exit the standby mode. Schedule 0 is used to keep the melter in the last
condition dictated by the clock (heaters on or off, or standby).
When a clock schedule calls for the heaters to be on, the heaters
are regulated at their pre-assigned set-point temperatures. When the
clock activates the standby mode, the set-point temperature of each
component is temporarily reduced by a pre-set standby delta.
Refer to Appendix B, Operating Parameters, for information about setting up
the seven-day clock and the standby delta.
If the melter is switched off while the
clock is on, the clock will automatically
turn back on the next time the melter is
switched back on.
If the heaters are manually turned off at
the time that a clock schedule calls for
the heaters to be on, the heaters will
not turn back on until the next clock
schedule calls for them to be on.

melter is inactive helps conserve energy and allows heated components to
quickly return to their set-point temperatures when the melter is once again
needed.
Standby key
When the melter is placed into the standby mode, the temperatures of all
components are reduced down from their set-point temperature by a pre-set
standby delta. The melter will remain in the standby mode until the standby
key is pressed or the function of one of the operating parameters takes the
melter out of the standby mode.
If the melter was set up to use the manual standby timer (parameter 26),

S The coupling half shells must be tightened such that the gaps are the
same size (Refer to Fig. 7-7).
Extract from manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions:
S The drive shaft and output shaft should be parallel* to one another. If the
axes lean towards one another, excess load is applied to the edges of
the bearings, causing premature wear.
S The coupling may not be twisted axially. Intermediate disk should move
freely.
S The coupling should not be disassembled. Interchanging of coupling
links and disks, damaged sealing rings, polluted bearings, etc. can
cause premature malfunctioning.
S All three coupling disks must be aligned to the dimension** of the shaft
offset. If the intermediate disk is extremely off-center − meaning that the
coupling links are no longer parallel − the coupling may be destroyed
upon startup.

General Instructions Regarding Working with Application Materials
A-1
Appendix A
General Instructions Regarding Working with
Application Materials
Definition of Terms
Application materials can be e.g. thermoplastic hot melt materials, adhesives, sealants, liquid adhesives and similar application materials. They are
referred to as materials.
NOTE: The materials that may be processed with your Nordson product
are described in the manual under Intended Use and Unintended Use.
When in doubt, please contact your Nordson representative.
Manufacturer Information
Materials may be processed only when the manufacturer’s product descriptions and Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are observed.
They provide information, amongst other things, on correct processing of
the product, transport, storage and disposal. Information regarding reactivity
and potentially hazardous decomposition products, toxic properties, flash
points, etc. can also be found there.
Liability
Nordson is not be liable for danger or damage resulting from the materials.
Risk of Burns
There is a risk of burns when handling heated materials. Work carefully and
wear appropriate protective clothing/equipment.
DuraBlue
P/N 397056J
A-2
General Instructions Regarding Working with Application Materials
Vapors and Gases
Ensure that vapors and gases do not exceed the prescribed limits. If necessary, exhaust vapors and gases and/or provide sufficient ventilation of the
work space.
Substrate
The substrate should be free of dust, grease and moisture. The suitable material, optimum working conditions, and possible pre-treatment of the substrate must be determined by testing.
When materials require heating, adherence to the prescribed processing
temperature is imperative to ensure the quality of the application. It may not
be exceeded! Overheating can cause material coking or cracking, resulting
in malfunctioning or unit failure.
Material should always be melted gently. Extended, unnecessary temperature load should be avoided. The temperature should be reduced during
breaks in work. The temperature in the tank should be attuned to the material consumption. Thus it is close to the prescribed processing temperature
for high material consumption and lower for lower consumption.
When materials are processed cold, take into consideration the shear heat
and the ambient temperature; cool if necessary.

Seven-day clock
Before setting the clock, refer to Function Keys in section 4, Operation, to
familiarize yourself with the function and use of the clock feature.
If you are unfamiliar with the procedure for accessing and editing operating
parameters, refer to section 3 Installation, Setting Up the Melter.
To Set the Clock
1. Enter the current day of the week with parameter 50.
2. Enter the current time of day with parameter 51.
3. Create schedule 1:
a. Set parameters 55 and 56 to the time of day that the heaters should
turn on and off.
b. Set parameters 57 and 58 to the time of day that the melter should
enter and exit standby mode.
4. Repeat step 3 to create schedules 2 and 3 with parameters 60 to 68.
5. Determine which of the four schedules should be used on each day of
the week with parameters 71 to 77. Up to three schedules can be
assigned for each day (to support three work shifts). Each of the eight
control options (0 to 7) available in parameters 71 to 77 offers a different
combination of the three schedules. Option 0 is used to hold the melter
in the state dictated by the last clock transition until the next clock
transition occurs.
In order for the clock to operate continuously
throughout the week, a valid schedule must be
assigned to every day of the week (parameters 71
to 77).
To prevent unintentional activation of the clock, the
standard setting for parameters 71 to 77 is schedule
0 (no times set). If the clock key is touched
unintentionally when the standard setting is schedule
0, the melter is not affected.

Advance Distance
Distance between initiator and gun/application head.
Angel Hair
Fine threads of adhesive that are created when adhesive is incorrectly
transferred from the nozzle to the substrate. This could be caused e.g. by
poor shaving of high viscosity material at the nozzle.
Application Head
Refer to Gun.
Application System, Hot Melt
An arrangement of units and components that melt, feed, meter and apply
hot melt adhesive, e.g. bulk melter, melter, gear metering pump station, gun,
coating stand and heated hoses.
Application Weight
The weight (grammage) of the application material applied to a surface unit
of the substrate.
Determining the application weight: A circle cutter is used to cut several
100 mm2 sized circles from the uncoated substrate. The cut out sections
should be evenly distributed on the substrate. The samples are each
weighed to exactly 0.01 g, and the average weight is calculated. The same
is done with the coated substrate. The number of samples taken depends
on how much the weights of the samples differ. The application weight is the
difference between the coated and uncoated substrate. The application
weight is usually stated in g/m2.
Assembly Handgun
Manually operated system component used to apply material as a bead,
dot, surface or spray application.
bar
Legal unit for pressure. The SI unit is Pascal (Pa). The unit commonly used
in the USA is psi. Refer to Conversions.
