7-6 7-USING THE DISPENSER
COROB™ TATOCOLOR
Whilst a timed process is in progress, the machine can still be used (dispensing or other
process from the management application program). The process in progress will be suspended
and restarted after a few seconds that the machine is inactive.
7.5 Refilling the canisters
Before using any colorant, carefully read the SAFETY DATA SHEET that the dealer
or manufacturer of the product is required to provide, and observe all of the safety
instructions provided. When compulsory, use personal protection equipment for eyes
and hands.
COROB™ management programs control the level of colorant in the machine canisters to
ensure the hue of the paint being produced. By knowing the initial level for each colorant, the
program can decrease the level based on the amount dispensed.
The update of colorant level from the program is consistent with the actual level of colorant in the
canisters only if the quantities added are correctly recorded in the program itself.
An incorrect recording of colorant quantities may empty the canisters after dispensing, leading to
mistints and lack of machine's performance, due to circuit emptying.
It is essential to avoid letting the level of colorant fall too low or, worse yet, allowing the
machine canisters to empty completely.
Using the COROB™ management programs, a reserve level is set for each canister in
proportion to its capacity, to prevent it from emptying; when the colorant in a canister reaches
the reserve level, the program prevents all formulas involving the colorant in reserve from being
dispensed.
Scrupulously follow the safety precautions and the instructions for use given on the
colorant package; when compulsory, use personal protection equipment for eyes and
hands.
When using colorants containing volatile solvents the canister top up must be carried
out sequentially, opening one canister at the time.
If during this operation, some colorant should spill out of the canister, immediately shut
down (electrical stop) the machine before cleaning.
If "SOLVENT FREE" colorants are used, or those that dry out quickly, we recommend that
you keep the canisters full at all times by topping up frequently. For more information on
this matter, refer to chapter 10.
To add colorant to a canister, proceed as follows:
1. Shut off the machine temporarily, by pressing the ON-OFF button to prevent the
recirculation and stirring processes from being automatically activated while you are topping
up.
2. Lift the canister section cover where the canister to be filled is located.
3. Remove the lid of the canister to be filled.
4. Add the desired amount of colorant to the canister carefully to avoid spattering or creating air
emulsions in the colorant.
