Introduction
This manual provides safety, installation, operation, service, and parts information for guarded safety
enclosures for all PROPlus, PRO, EV, E, and R Series automated dispensing systems. The safety
enclosure is shipped fully assembled in a large wooden crate, making installation and setup easy.
For installation in the European Union (EU) and areas with similar regulations, these CE-compliant
enclosures provide full compliance with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, essential for all production
requirements.
Nordson EFD safety enclosures easily integrate into existing production lines. Each enclosure features an
internal lockable electrical control box and integrated wireways that allow easy cable routing for faster,
safer setup. A safety light curtain at the front opening stops the dispensing cycle anytime an object
passes its sensing eld.
External controls, including START, EMERGENCY STOP, and RUN/TEACH, allow operators to control
the dispensing system from outside of the enclosure. An ergonomic, adjustable monitor bracket and
keyboard tray make it easy to program vision-guided systems at any height.

Nordson EFD Product Safety Statement (continued)
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 the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) 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 uids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release uid pressure before
adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure uid can cut like a knife and cause serious
bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
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 the following note.
• Tell the doctor what kind of material you were dispensing.
WARNING
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.
Qualified Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that EFD equipment is installed, operated, and serviced by
qualied personnel. Qualied personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained to safely perform

5. Open the DispenseMotion software and set “Out 8” to “Running.” Refer to the “I/O Pin Function Setup”
appendix in the robot operating manual for instructions.
NOTE: The system includes a relay switching pin that is connected to output 8 on the I/O terminal block.
When the output 8 signal exceeds 24V (goes “high”), the system breaks the circuit between EMG IN and
EMG OUT. When output 8 is high and the light curtain is broken, the Emergency Stop signal locks and
the robot enters a “hard lock” state. When Output 8 is low and the light curtain is broken, the Emergency
Stop signal is not triggered, meaning the robot is in a “soft lock” state. For the system to use this soft lock
feature correctly, output 8 (“Out 8”) in the DispenseMotion software must be set to Running.

Safety Enclosure for Automated Dispensing Systems
Operation
Once the robot is properly installed in the enclosure, follow these procedures for
routine operation to ensure personnel safety.
Starting the System
1. Turn the main disconnect switch located on the back of the safety enclosure
to the ON position.
2. Refer to the robot operating manual for additional robot-specic power-on
steps (such as switching on the DispenseMotion controller).
NOTE: When the system is powered on, the light curtain and all I/O
connections are automatically active. If the light curtain is interrupted by
any passing object (such as a hand reaching into the enclosure), the system
enters an emergency stop condition. An emergency stop may also be
triggered by a customer-specic I/O connection.
3. Press the EMERGENCY STOP button to test it. If an emergency shutdown
occurs, the system is operating properly.
4. Verify that the light curtain is functioning properly by moving a
test object into the light curtain eld. If an emergency shutdown
occurs, the system is operating properly.
NOTE: Nordson EFD strongly recommends performing the
following additional checks of the light curtain operation:
• Ensure that the safety enclosure is in a location that is free of
light interference, such as from uorescent lamps.
• Check the sheaths of the wiring connected to the light curtain
controller (inside the electrical box) for damage and replace
any damaged wiring. Refer to “Service” on page 21 for the
location of the light curtain controller.
About the RUN/TEACH Switch
The safety enclosure provides a RUN/TEACH switch that affects
system operation. The default position of the RUN/TEACH switch is
the RUN position, which allows normal operation. Placing the switch
in the TEACH position deactivates the light curtain, allowing the
operator to run the robot at a reduced speed (without dispensing) or
to service the robot. When the RUN/TEACH switch is in the TEACH
position, the system will not run a dispense cycle.
When the RUN/TEACH switch is in the RUN position:
• The light curtain is active — any object that passes the light curtain causes an
emergency shutdown condition.
• Pressing the green START button starts a dispense cycle.
When the RUN/TEACH switch is in the TEACH position:
• The light curtain is deactivated, allowing the operator to reach inside the
enclosure without triggering an emergency shutdown.
• The robot cannot execute a dispense program.
