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 dispenser 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 all throughout the
dispensing.
OVERVIEW

DC100 Digital Dispenser Operating Manual

Do not operate the unit in excess of its maximum ratings / settings.
Make sure that 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 unit.
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 dispenser directly to sunlight.
Avoid cleaning the dispenser 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 unit – refer to figures A& Bbelow.
DC100 Malfunction
If the DC100 malfunctions, shut down the unit immediately. This can be done by
either pressing the power switch or disconnecting the power cord.

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.

TIMED MODE

DC100 Digital Dispenser Operating Manual
© 2015 Fisnar - 16 - DC100 Rev G
FIG. 9: Dispense Modes
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.
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 cumulative
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.

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).
