Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum components.
Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum and explode, causing injury, death,or property
damage. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more of the following elements:
Element Symbol Prefix
Fluorine F “Fluoro-”
Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”
Bromine Br “Bromo-”
Iodine I “Iodo-”
Check your material MSDS or contact your material supplier for more information. If you must use
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your EFD representative for compatible EFD components.
High Pressure Fluids
High pressure fluids, unless they are safety contained, are extremely hazardous.Always release fluid
pressure before adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment.A jet of high pressure fluid can cut like
a knife and cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death.Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause
toxic poisoning.
Warning: Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured or even suspect
an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
• Show the doctor this note.
• Tell the doctor what kind of material you were dispensing.
Medical Alert–Airless Spray Wounds: Note to Physician
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as
possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity.Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings
injected directly into the bloodstream.

Dispensing
System
Setup
Deposit size is controlled by time, pressure and tip size.
Please follow these instructions to test each function. Use the convenient Dot Standards sheet included in
your dispensing kit.
Using Steady Mode to Dispense a Dot or Stripe or Fill a Cavity
1. Start with pressure set to zero.
2. Place the syringe barrel over a piece of paper or test surface.
3. Place the unit in “Steady” mode.
4. Unsnap the safety clip. Depress and hold the foot pedal for the remainder of setup.
5. While resting the tip on the paper (test surface), increase the air pressure by 1-2 psi (.069-.138 bar)
using the keypad until you have reached the desired fluid dispensing flow rate.
Note: Always use the lowest possible pressure and the largest possible tip size.The combination of the
lowest possible output pressure + largest possible tip size + longest possible dispense duration =
most consistent and accurate deposits.
6. Release the foot pedal.
7. Retest the dispensing rate a few more times. Fine tune as required by making small changes in
pressure.
Correct angle
for consistent
deposits.
Remember - always
bring the tip in contact
with the work surface at
the illustrated angle.
After the tip is in
position, press the foot
pedal. Release pedal
and remove tip by lifting
straight up.
DISPENSING SYSTEM SETUP

Dispensing
System
Setup
Using Timed Mode to Make Repeatable Deposits
1. Refer to the previous section to purge your dispense tip of air and fill it with fluid.
2. Place the unit into “Timed” mode.
3. Set the dispense time.The dispense time or duration may be set in one of two ways:
• Using the Up/Down Arrows to set time. Refer to the“
Features and Controls ” section.
• Using the Program/Teach button to set time. Refer to the “
Features and Controls ” section.
4. Press the foot pedal/finger switch to activate the dispense cycle.The dispenser will now continuously
dispense for the pre-set duration of time. Once the time has expired, the dispenser will stop dispensing
and await another triggering signal from the foot pedal/finger switch or signal from the host controller.
Note: The foot pedal/finger switch only needs to be pressed for a moment.
If the foot pedal/finger switch or contact closure I/O signal is initiated at any time during the dispense cycle,
the dispenser will immediately abort and stop dispensing.This is a unique safety feature to prevent
accidental dispensing.
Using the Vacuum Control Feature for Low Viscosity Fluids
The Vacuum Control feature allows you to dispense low viscosity fluids consistently without dripping
between cycles. The vacuum overcomes head pressure on the fluid within the barrel,
which prevents dripping.
1. Make sure that you have attached an EFD syringe barrel filled with the fluid
intended for dispensing, and that the air pressure is set all the way to zero. EFD
recommends the use of a Blue LV Barrier piston for watery, low viscosity materials.
2. Make sure the barrel adapter safety clip is closed.
3. Remove the tip cap and replace it with an appropriate EFD dispense tip.
4. Set the air pressure at 2 psi (0.1 bar)
5. While pointing the tip over a container or resting it on a test surface, release the
safety clip on the adapter/Optimeter™ hose assembly.
6. Place the dispenser in “Steady” mode.Depress and hold the foot pedal until a drip
begins to form at the end of the tip.
7. Release the foot pedal.At this point, fluid will continue to exit the tip.
8. Increase the vacuum using the keypad by 0.5 to 1.0 inches of water until the fluid
deposit size stabilizes without growing.
Note: Do not increase the vacuum to the point where the deposit is actually drawn back into the tip or to
where bubbles form in the barrel. Excessive vacuum causes inconsistent dispensing.
9. Lift the tip off the test surface, wipe the tip end and retest by pressing the foot pedal momentarily.
The deposit should stay at the intended size and not increase or decrease in size. If it does, repeat
steps 4-8 to fine-tune the vacuum control.
10. Once vacuum is properly set increase air pressure to the desired production setting before beginning
your dispensing process.

Air gap

Filling the Syringe Barrel
Caution: Do not completely fill syringe barrels.The optimum fill is a maximum 2/3 of the barrel capacity
and 1/2 of the barrel capacity when using the EFD blue LV Barrier™piston.
For best results, we strongly recommend that you use a piston as part of your dispensing system.
The white EFD SmoothFlow™piston is appropriate for most fluids and has several advantages.
• First, vacuum adjustment is less sensitive.
• Second, the piston prevents fumes from the fluid being exhausted into the work environment.
• Third, the piston prevents fluid backflow into the dispenser if the syringe barrel is inadvertently turned
upside down.
• Fourth, the piston makes it easy and safe to change tips without dripping.
For watery solvents and cyanoacrylates, request the blue EFD LV Barrier piston, available in 3cc, 10cc,
and 30/55cc sizes. If you are dispensing an RTV silicone and find that the piston bounces and causes
stringing, request EFD’s assistance in selecting a suitable piston.
Remember
For best results, EFD strongly recommends the use of a
piston as part of your dispensing system.
Do not tip the barrel
upside down or lay flat.
This will cause the liquid
to run into the dispenser.
If you choose to not use a piston when dispensing
thin fluids, remember these important points.
Fumes cannot escape.
No air gap when using
the SmoothFlow
piston.
SmoothFlow piston
prevents fluid backflow.
Correct method
✔
When changing tips
or attaching a tip cap,
snap the safety clip
completely closed to
prevent any dripping
or bubbling.
