A brownout in your Nordson Industrial Equipment indicates that the plant power dipped and then recovered. Typically, this requires no action unless the system isn't operating correctly or various messages appear. In such cases, perform a cold stop/start of the melter.
How to troubleshoot high temperature in Nordson AltaBlue Industrial Equipment zone?
If the internal or external temperature for a zone in your Nordson Industrial Equipment has risen above the defined setpoint threshold, it's likely because the actual temperature of the component has risen above the set temperature limit. Check for conditions that may cause an increase in ambient temperature, or consider replacing the component.
How to fix Nordson Industrial Equipment when the temperature drops below the setpoint?
If the internal or external temperature for a zone in your Nordson Industrial Equipment has dropped below the defined setpoint threshold, it's likely because the actual temperature of the component has dropped below the set temperature limit. Check for conditions that may be causing a drop in ambient temperature, or consider replacing the component.
Why is my Nordson AltaBlue dispensing too little material?
If your Nordson Industrial Equipment is dispensing too little material, here are some potential causes: * The material supply or pump suction hole may be partially clogged. Detach the pump and clean these holes. * The filter cartridge may be partly clogged. Clean or replace the filter screen. * The pressure control valve may be defective. Clean or replace it. * The processing temperature may be set too low. Correct the temperature setting. * The pump block may be worn. Replace the pump. * The safety valve may be defective. Replace the safety valve. * The pump may be defective. Replace the pump. * The pressure control valve setting may be too low. Adjust the pressure control valve.
Why is there no material coming out of my Nordson AltaBlue Industrial Equipment and the pump is not rotating?
If your Nordson Industrial Equipment is not dispensing material and the pump isn't rotating, it could be due to these reasons: * The melter may not be ready yet, still in the heat-up phase; wait until it heats up and the green light is on. * The melter might be under temperature during operation; wait until it heats up. * The motor may not be enabled; enable the motor. * The speed (rpm) may not be set; set the speed. * The system might be in standby mode; exit or wait until the standby period expires.
Why is the material pressure too low in my Nordson AltaBlue?
If your Nordson Industrial Equipment shows 'Material Pressure Too Low', it could be due to several reasons: * The pump might be worn, requiring replacement. * The pressure control valve may not be closing or is dirty, requiring replacement or cleaning. * The pressure control valve setting might be too low; in this case, set it to the default value.
Why is there no material coming out of my Nordson AltaBlue Industrial Equipment, even though the motor is rotating?
If there is no material flow from your Nordson Industrial Equipment, even though the motor is rotating, consider the following: * The tank might be empty, so fill the tank. * The filter cartridge could be clogged; clean or replace the filter screen. * The material supply or suction hole to the pump might be clogged; detach the pump and clean these holes. * The pressure control valve or safety valve might be defective; replace the respective valve. * The pump itself could be defective, requiring replacement. * The pressure control valve setting might be too low; adjust the pressure control valve.
What to do if material pressure is too high in Nordson AltaBlue Industrial Equipment?
If your Nordson Industrial Equipment is showing 'Material Pressure Too High', it could be due to a dirty or defective pressure control valve. Try the following: * Disassemble and clean the pressure control valve. If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, replace the valve.
