- Cone shape allows an even dispersion of adhesive in the tank
� Eliminates missed beads and poor bonding caused by empty tanks
System Description The FillMaster supplies granulated adhesive in response to a low levelsignal provided by the melter’s sensor control. Adhesive is supplied throughthe transfer hose, assisted by compressed air, in sufficient quantity into themelter tank. The FillMaster replenishes adhesive only when the melter is atoperating temperature, when there is sufficient air pressure, and if no alarmcondition is detected. An adjustable shot duration determines the quantity ofadhesive delivered with each cycle, ensuring that only sufficient quantities ofadhesive refresh the tank on a regular basis.

Main Unit The main unit is a stainless steel cabinet which is divided into two sections:
� upper portion which contains the adhesive reservoir.
� lower portion which contain the front panel, electrical cabinet, andpneumatic controls.
Front Panel
The FillMaster front panel contains LED indicators and an On/Off switch.FillMaster I has one row of LEDs and FillMaster II has two rows of identicalLEDs.

Part 1030629C� 2004 Nordson Corporation Manual 62-FILLMSTR-MA-02
The front panel LEDs indicate the following conditions:
� OK (system ready) LED: the melter is at the correct operatingtemperature, air pressure is set, and there is no alarm condition.When the melter sends a low level signal, the FillMaster transfersadhesive from the reservoir to the melter tank through the transferhose.
� Shot duration LED: adhesive delivery cycle.
The length of time that the venturi pump cycles is called shotduration. Shot duration is dependent on adhesive characteristics(size and shape) and transfer height and length. Shot duration mustbe long enough to move the adhesive over the highest point of thetransferring hose route. The recommended highest point of thetransferring hose is 2.5 m (8.20 ft).
� Alarm or fault condition.
� Power status on or off.
Electrical Cabinet
The electrical cabinet contains:
� A timer that controls shot duration, interval, and alarm. The timer ispreset at the factory but can be adjusted for different applicationsituations.
� A power supply that converts input power to DC voltage.
Pneumatic Controls
The pneumatic controls include:
� A Venturi pump that cycles air bursts (preset time duration) to transportadhesive from the reservoir through the transfer hose to the melter tank.
� An accumulator that supplies specific volume of compressed airrequired for each cycle of the venturi pump.
When a low level is detected from the level sensor in the melter, asolenoid valve opens, sending compressed air from the accumulator tothe venturi nozzle. Adhesive discharges from the adhesive reservoir intothe air passages, propelled by air bursts from the venturi pump. Thedesign of the venturi pump also deflects compressed air upward into theair passages from the reservoir, loosening adhesive particles andpreventing bridging or clogging.
� An air throttle that provides volume adjustment of air to cool the cone.
� A pressure regulator that is located at the back of the FillMaster. Thereis a pressure switch inside the pressure regulator that can be set toadjust and verify air pressure supply.
FillMaster� Adhesive Feed System18
Part 1030629C � 2004 Nordson CorporationManual 62-FILLMSTR-MA-02
Transfer Hose The transfer hose transports adhesive from the adhesive reservoir of theFillMaster to the melter tank. The transfer hose grounding strap must beconnected at both ends to avoid static charges.
Cone The cone attaches the transfer hose to a modified melter tank lid(purchased separately) precut to the dimensions of the cone. The new tanklid must be retrofitted to the melter before the cone is attached. The conecontains a screen that prevents fine particles and powder in the adhesive topermeate the ambient air. Air supplied to the cone prevents adhesivebridging by cooling the point at which the transfer hose connects to thecone.
NOTE: Bridging occurs when adhesive (usually pellets) heats up rapidly,and the layer directly above the heated adhesive heats partially to form abridge in the melter tank grid. This prevents the rest of the adhesive frommelting and being transferred from the adhesive reservoir to the melter tank.To prevent this, change to a lower-viscosity adhesive or to an adhesive formthat is less likely to bridge, or raise the tank operating temperature setpointto reduce viscosity.
Level Sensor and Sensor Control The level sensor (purchased separately) detects the level of adhesive in thethe melter tank. When adhesive falls below setpoint, the level sensortransmits a signal to the FillMaster, which transfers adhesive from thereservoir to the melter. FillMaster will not transport adhesive until it gets aready signal from the melter.

Adjusting Level Sensor Settings Adjustment of the level sensor settings is necessary when replacing thelevel sensor or the sensor controller. However, the adjustments must bemade after the level sensor is mounted in the melter and when the meltertank is empty. Refer to the Level Sensor Installation instruction sheet foradditional information.
There are two methods of adjusting the level sensor:
� Open sensor, and
� Switch point
1. Power (green)2. Full (on constantly) or
open sensor (blinking green)3. Low level (red)
Open Sensor Adjustment The adjustment should be made when the melter tank is empty so that thelevel sensor works at the highest sensitivity level.
1. Turn the melter on.
2. Turn the potentiometer 1 (or P1) twenty turns counterclockwise. In thissetting the sensor control receives minimum input and cannot detectadhesive levels. A reading lower than the minimum input will generate afault condition resulting in an open sensor condition (blinking LED).
