Personal Safety
To prevent injury follow these instructions.
SDo not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
SDo not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or
disarm any safety devices.
SKeep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing any
moving equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the equipment
comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the equipment to
prevent unexpected movement.
SRelieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or
servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out, and
tag switches before servicing electrical equipment.
SObtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials
used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe handling and use of
materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.
STo prevent injury, be aware of less‐obvious dangers in the workplace that
often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp
edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be
enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.
SNoise emissions according to EC/2006/42 maximum 85dBA, ear
protection must be worn.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
SDo not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable
materials are being used or stored.
SProvide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of
volatile materials or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material MSDS
for guidance.
SDo not disconnect live electrical circuits while working with flammable
materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.
SKnow where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire
extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in a spray booth, immediately
shut off the spray system and exhaust fans.
SClean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions
in your equipment documentation.
SUse only replacement parts that are designed for use with original
equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information
and advice.

Grounding
WARNING: Operating faulty electrostatic equipment is hazardous and can
cause electrocution, fire, or explosion. Make resistance checks part of your
periodic maintenance program. If you receive even a slight electrical shock
or notice static sparking or arcing, shut down all electrical or electrostatic
equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem has
been identified and corrected.
All work conducted inside the FeedCenter Housing is considered within an
ATEX Zone 22 and inside the Powder Hopper is ATEX Zone 20 Hazardous
location and must comply with EN16985, EN50177 and any local codes
latest conditions.
SAll electrically conductive objects inside the FeedCenter Housing shall be
electrically connected to ground with a resistance of not more than
1megohm as measured with an instrument that applies at least 500volts
to the circuit being evaluated. Personnel working inside the FeedCenter
must be grounded.
SThere is a possible ignition potential from the charged human body.
Personnel standing on a non-conductive surface or wearing
non‐conductive shoes, are not grounded. Personnel must wear shoes
with conductive soles or use a ground strap to maintain a connection to
ground when working with or around electrostatic equipment.
SConnect all disconnected equipment, ground cables, and wires after
servicing equipment.
Action in the Event of a Malfunction
If a system or any equipment in a system malfunctions, shut off the system
immediately and perform the following steps:
SDisconnect and lock out electrical power. Close pneumatic shutoff
valves and relieve pressures.
SIdentify the reason for the malfunction and correct it before restarting the
equipment.
Disposal
Dispose of equipment and materials used in operation and servicing
according to local codes.

Description
Introduction
The Nordson Spectrum HD Generation II Feed Center (SHD II) conditions
and supplies powder for up to 16 automatic powder spray guns in its
standard form, or up to 24 guns with additional Stand Alone HDLV units*.
This can be a combination of automatic and manual guns. It contains a High
Density sieving and powder feed system using the Nordson HDLV
technology along with ultrasonic sieve, level sensors, virgin feed and
electrical / pneumatic controls via a touch screen operator interface.
The SHD II provides quick color changes and automatic purge cleaning. The
HD Hopper is the heart of the SHD II Feed Center; receiving reclaim and
virgin powder, sieving and feeding powder to all guns using Nordson HDLV
pumps.
*If more guns are required, the Spectrum HD XXL offers the capacity of up to
32 Guns.

Description
2‐2
Part 7192568-03 E2020 Nordson Corporation
The feed center controls are designed to accommodate two HDLV transfer
pumps: a reclaim pump to transport over-sprayed powder from the booth
recovery system to the feed center, and a optional bulk feed pump that adds
virgin powder to the system as needed.
Both transfer pumps deliver the powder to the ultrasonic sieve, where it is
conditioned before delivery to the powder spray guns.
The color change operation is semi automatic. During a color change,the HD
Hopper cycles through a number of cleaning processes. High-pressure
purge air is pulsed through the powder feed pumps, hoses, and guns to clean
them of powder. This also cleans the sieve section and hopper itself leaving
minimal cleaning from the operator. The reclaim and virgin powder transfer
pumps can be purged manually, as required.
The Spectrum HD Gen II feed center requires a remote air extraction system
that provides a constant airflow through the enclosure, preventing powder
escaping into the spray room. The typical extraction system consists of an
afterfilter assembly consisting of an exhaust fan, primary cartridge filters,
pulse valves and controls, and final filters. A rectangular duct connection is
provided at the bottom rear of the feed center enclosure.
