OVERVIEW
Model DC100 Digital Dispenser
The DC100 digital dispenser, with its versatile design, makes it perfectly suited for a wide
variety of dispensing applications; from microdot deposits, to large potting and filling.
•Adjustable air output pressure and vacuum function with digital display.
•A multi-purpose, programmable alarm timer to disable the machine after a specific amount of
time – useful for automated applications and materials with shortened shelf life and/or pot life
(i.e. two-component, pre-mixed frozen, etc.).
•Tolerance on the input air pressure can be set to ensure consistent pressure throughout the
dispensing process.

Do not operate the machine in excess of its maximum ratings / settings.
Make sure that the input air supply is clean and dry.
A 5 micron air filter/regulator (part number 560567) is recommended to ensure
the input air supply is clean and dry.
If corrosive or flammable fluids are being used, an inline filter must be installed
to help prevent the fluids from being sucked back into the machine.
The fluid being dispensed may be toxic and / or hazardous. Refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet for proper handling and safety precautions.
Do not smoke or use near an open flame when flammable materials are being
dispensed.
Do not expose the machine directly to sunlight.
Avoid cleaning the machine with aggressive solvents – neutral detergents are
preferred.
Do not overfill the barrel and/or lay the barrel on its side. This will prevent fluids
from flowing back into the machine – refer to figures A& Bbelow.
DC100 Malfunction
If the machine malfunctions, shut down the machine immediately. This can be
done by either pressing the power switch or disconnecting the power cord.
Always use a piston with the barrel to prevent fluids from flowing back into the
machine
When dispensing low viscosity fluids that require the vacuum be aware not to
increase to a point where fluids begin to run back into the air line potentially
reaching the control box. The vacuum should not be set too high or it will cause
material to creep backwards.
SAFETY

Inappropriate Use
If the machine is used in a way other than described in this manual, it may cause damage
to self or property.
Do not use any components with the machine other than Fisnar authorized
components.
Do not use incompatible materials.
Do not make any modifications to the machine.
All repairs are to be done by Fisnar trained employees.
Do not operate the machine in excess of its maximum ratings / settings.
Fire Prevention
Refer to the following instructions to avoid any fire or explosion.
Access your surroundings and the location of the nearest fire extinguisher and
Emergency Exit.
Do not smoke or use near an open flame when flammable materials are being
dispensed.
Immediately disconnect power if any sparking or smoke appears.
Do not expose the machine directly to sunlight.
Maintenance
The DC100 is generally a maintenance free machine. However, to ensure smooth
operation please follow the below instructions.
Only use non-woven cleaners on the LCD.
Avoid cleaning the machine with aggressive solvents – neutral detergents are
preferred.
Ensure that compressed air supply to the machine is clean and moisture free.
Do not lay the barrel on its side. This will prevent fluids from flowing back into
the machine.

DISPENSE SETUP
4. Fill the barrel (with barrel tip cap on the barrel) with material to be dispensed. Attach barrel to
barrel adapter head as shown below. See FIG. 3.
Do not overfill the barrel and/or lay the barrel on its side. This will prevent fluids
from flowing back into the machine – refer to figures A& Bbelow.
5. Connect the barrel adapter air tube with the “Air Out” port on the front of the machine. (4)
See FIG. 2.
6. Do not use the Male Adapter with the machine. Cut the adapter off from the hose and insert the
hose directly into the air outlet in the front of the machine.
7. Use adapter 5779K712 push to connect air fitting (1/4” stem x 5/32” tube O.D.) with the air-line
when installing the hose into the air out fitting in the front of the machine.

TIMED MODE
,
Use the key to switch to TIMED mode.
TIMED mode allows the operator to dispense material at a fixed time interval.
Press the keys to change the time values.
Press the key again to choose which decimal place to edit, including the
position of the decimal point.
Press and hold the key to save.
Press the foot pedal or the key to start the machine. The machine will
continue dispensing until the set time is satisfied.
Pressing the key will stop the dispensing regardless of whether the set
time is up or not. This shot will be considered “incomplete” and will not count
towards the cumulative dispense counter. The timer will reset to the original
programmed time value.

DISPENSE MODES
FIG. 9: Dispense Modes
TIME+ MODE
Use the key to switch to TIME+ mode.
TIME+ mode allows the operator to program a second timed shot, useful for
making slight adjustments on the dispense time without changing the original
value in TIMED mode.
This mode is suitable for sensitive (temperature, humidity, short pot life, etc.)
materials that require tweaking of the timed value (or pressure) over time to
achieve consistency on the dispensed amount.
Press the keys to change the value. Pressing
simultaneously will reset the time.
Press the foot pedal or the key to start the machine. The machine will
continue dispensing until the set time is satisfied.
Pressing the
key will stop dispensing regardless of whether set time is up or
not. This shot will be considered “incomplete”
and will not count towards the
c
umulative dispense counter. The timer will reset to the original programmed time
value.
The time value saved under TIME+ mode will not affect the values in other
modes (i.e. TIMED, INT). However, changing the time value in other modes will
also change the value in TIME+ mode

DISPENSE MODES
FIG. 10: Dispense Modes
INT INT MODE
,
Use the key to switch to INT mode.
INT mode allows the operator to control the
material being dispensed within the
programmed dispense time interval. This combines the precision of a timed shot with
the flexibility of an operator control shot.
Press the keys to change the time values.
Press the key again to choose which decimal
place to edit, including the
position of the decimal point.
Press and hold the key to save.
Press the foot pedal or the key to start the machine. Release to stop. The timer
will continue to count down until, either: (1) the foot pedal is released, or; (2) the set
time is satisfied.
The timer will only reset to the original programmed time value once it reaches zero
(0).
A full shot cycle is counted towards the cumulative dispense counter whenever the
timer reaches zero (0).
