UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROLS
Suck Back Control –Keeps a steady pull of air pressure in the syringe when not dispensing. This will help with material
leaking from the syringe.
Pressure Gage –Shows the amount of pressure being used to dispense.
Pressure Regulator–Adjusts the amount of pressure being used to dispense. In order to reach a desired pressure
level, first to pull the knob out to unlock it so it will rotate. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to a
point below the desired pressure, and then turn the dial clockwise to reach the desired pressure.
Barrel / Valve Air Outlet –Air outlet where valve or barrel can be hooked up.
Digital Display –Displays information pertaining to the programming and use of the unit.
▲/SET –Used as an up scroll key and to begin the programming of a mode.
▼/MEM – Used as a down scroll key and to save / recall a program.
◄/SHOT –Used as a left scroll key and to begin dispensing.
MODE/EXIT –Used to toggle between dispensing modes and to exit some functions.
Operation Modes
-MANUAL –In this mode the unit will dispense as long as the foot pedal or SHOT button is pressed.
-TIME –The unit will dispense for a set amount of time regardless of how long the foot pedal or shot button is pressed.
-CYCLE –The unit will dispense and wait for a specified amount of time before dispensing again. It will cycle
continuously until the EXIT button is pressed.
Switching Between Modes

Manual Mode
Manual Mode allows the user to dispense for an unlimited amount of time by either pressing down on the supplied foot
pedal or pushing the SHOT button on the front of the SL101N unit. The material will continue to dispense for as long as
the user is pushing down on the foot pedal or pressing the SHOT button, as soon as either of these are released the
dispensing will stop.
The unit will also count the amount of time you are dispensing during a cycle which may be helpful in determining a time
to be used when programming the timer mode. If you need to adjust the decimal point to allow for the timer to show a
higher or smaller value press the SET button then use the ▲ and ▼ to adjust the position.
1. Press the MODE button to cycle to Manual Mode.
2. The SHOT button is located at the circled area below.

The Timer Mode allows the user to dispense for a set period of time despite how long the foot pedal is pressed.
For Example: If you would like to set the dispenser to dispense for 1 second follow the below instructions.
1. Press the MODE button until the Timer Mode is selected.
2. Press the SET button. The first digit on the right side of the display will start blinking.
3. Press the ◄ button twice. The third digit from the right should be blinking.
4. Press the ▲ button once to increase the value of this digit. The display should look like the one below. (To adjust

pedal.

Cycle Mode
Cycle Mode allows the user to create a repeating cycle of dispensing. This is programed by setting a wait time between
dispensing. This mode is reliant on the previous setting that was made in Timer Mode to determine the length of
dispensing during the cycle.
For Example: If you would like to dispense for 1 second then wait for 5 seconds and cycle these times over again you
would need to have already set your Timer Mode for 1 second (see previous page for these instructions). To set the 5
second wait time in your cycle follow the below directions.
1. Press the Mode button until the Cycle Mode is selected.
2. Press the Set button. The first digit on the right side of the display will start blinking.
3. Press the ◄ button two times. The third digit from the right should be blinking.
4. Press the ▲ button five times. The display should now show a 5 second wait time. (To adjust the decimal refer to
page 11)
5. Press Exit/Mode to save as current setting.
To use the cycle mode press the SHOT button on the SL101N to activate the cycle. To deactivate the cycle press the
EXIT button.

Saving to Memory
The SL101N has the storage capacity for up to 9 programs that can be saved to its memory for future recall. The memory
will always save your current settings for the particular mode you are in.
For Example: If you wanted to save your current Timer Mode setting to program 9 you would first need to select timer
mode then proceed with saving. You can also save your Cycle Mode settings to program 9 by following the same
procedure.
To save your current settings to memory address 9 follow the below instructions.
1. Change to the mode you would like to save then press and hold the MEM (Memory) key for 2 seconds until the
unit beeps.
2. The display will show Ld 1 (Load from Memory #1).
3. Press the MEM key again to change from Ld 1 to Sv 1 (Save to Memory #1).
4. Press the ▲key 8 times to get to memory address 9.
5. Press the EXIT key to complete the save.
To save your current cycle mode settings switch the mode to cycle and then continue with the above procedure.

Loading from Memory
After saving your Cycle Mode and Timer Mode settings to the SL101N memory you can then recall them to be used
again. Both the Cycle Mode and Timer Mode need to be loaded separately by switching to the mode you would like to
load.
For Example: To load the cycle time that was saved in memory 9 on the previous page follow the below steps.
1. Switch to Cycle Mode then press and hold the MEM (Memory) key for 2 seconds until the unit beeps.
2. The display will show Ld 1 (Load from Memory #1).
3. Press the ▲key 8 times to get to memory address 9.
4. Press the EXIT key to complete the load. Program 9 Cycle Mode settings are now in effect. The display should
show 5 seconds.
To load the timer mode settings switch to Timer Mode then follow the same directions.

Setting the Decimal Point
The decimal point is normally set at a default place between the second and third digits on the display. This can be
changed to allow for a longer or shorter dispense time. To change the decimal place position press the SET button then
the ◄ button 4 times. This will make the decimal point blink. When the decimal point is blinking you can then press the
▲or ▼ buttons to adjust its position.
Auto-Purge Function
The Auto-Purge function is used when a material is being dispensed that may cure in the dispensing needle if left sitting
for long periods of time. Before auto purging your material be sure to read over the material MSDS for any precautions
that may need to be taken. Also be sure that you have a proper storage container for the purged material.
In order to setup auto purge on the SL101N dispenser, the user must configure both the time it needs to dispense
(dispense time) and the time it pauses before dispensing again (wait time). The total time will be the time it takes the
dispenser to do the whole routine (cycle time).
Cycle time = Dispense time + Wait time
For example, let’s say you wanted to auto purge one second worth of material every five seconds for a total time of six
seconds. What you need to do is the following:
1. Set the Dispense time to 1 second.
2. Set the Wait time to 5 seconds.
