Safety Instructions.
.
1. Install the gun on the parent machine in proper alignment with the
substrate. If the mounting retainer is used for this purpose, use a 0.5
inch (13 mm) diameter bar. Guns may be installed either vertically or
horizontally.
NOTE: For optimum control of bead position, optimum response time,
and minimum heat loss, Nordson recommends that, wherever possible,
nozzles should be positioned about 0.5 inch (13 mm) from the
substrate (see Figure 3.4).
NOTE: The gun mount should be protected from vibration and secured
so that the gun will not change position during application.
NOTE: Nordson recommends the installation of a heated or a
nonheated inline filter between the gun and hose and the installation of
insulation on the fittings that connect the hose to the gun.
NOTE: Refer to the installation instructions provided with the hose
before performing any installation of hoses.
2. Mechanically connect the hose to the gun (see Figure 3.5).
3. Electrically connect the hose to the gun by connecting the plug on
the gun to the receptacle on the hose (see Figure 3.5).

Gun Connections
NOTE: Save the dust cap. It is needed to perform some of the electrical
troubleshooting procedures described in Section 6 or to operate the
unit with a gun removed. Without either a gun plug or the dust cap
connected to the hose receptacle, the unit will sense an open circuit in
the gun channel and shut down automatically.
4. Connect a filter/regulator and solenoid valve (both supplied by the
customer) to the gun.
NOTE: The solenoid valve should be placed as close as practical to the
gun to prevent introduction of lag time between solenoid valve
actuation and gun operation.
