Follow these guidelines when installing wiring to the unit:
SAllow enough room to route your electrical service line to the unit.
You can use either of the two access holes in the base of the unit for
electrical service. One hole is for rear access and the other is for
bottom access.
SRoute any wires away from AC power lines, solenoid output lines,
and electrical equipment such as motors, contacts, and relays.
SMake connections with the minimum length of wire needed. A long
wire can act as an antenna for electrical noise.
The power requirements of your hoses and guns must be determined to
make sure that you do not overload the unit. If your Nordson
representative has not already checked to see that your unit can support
all of the hoses and guns you plan to install, you need to calculate your
hose/gun power requirements now. You also need to check your
calculations if you change your system configuration or add new hoses
and guns.
To determine your hose/gun power requirements, refer to Calculating
Hose/Gun Capacity at the end of this manual. If you need help with this
procedure, contact your Nordson representative.

3. Decide where to install the first hose by referring to the following
table. Choose the instructions that apply to the type of manifold on
your unit.
Type of Manifold Instructions
Four-port manifold Use hose port number 1.
Six-port manifold Use hose port number 1 or 2. If
you plan to install six hoses
(either now or in the future), use
hose port number 1 for the first
hose(seeNoteA). Ifyouplanto
install less than six hoses, you
can use hose port number 2 for
the first hose.
NOTE A: To install six hoses, your unit must have the ability to heat
six hoses. Check to see if your unit has six hose electrical
receptacles. Units can be ordered with two, four, or six
receptacles.
CAUTION: Failure to connect the first hose as instructed
creates a dead area where char builds up, causing downtime.
WARNING: Hose ports that are unused must be closed with a
plug. Removing plugs can cause hot adhesive to spray or flow
from the port and injure operators.
4. Route the hose from the gun back to the unit. Make sure the hose
does not contact sharp or abrasive surfaces. Follow the hose-routing
guidelines shown in Figure A 1-8.
