5.1.1 Login
1. Touch the Login icon to enter the login screen
2. Enter “0000” in Password window
The password can be disabled by check the box next to it.
3. Touch the Green Check Mark icon to save and exit

5.1.2 Pressure Calibration
Note: Pressure calibration must be performed when the unit is activated for
the first time.
1. Using a pressure gauge, verify that the input pressure line is delivering
approximately 100 psi
Note: If input pressure is not 100 psi, calibration will result in a
mismatch between the display pressure and the actual pressure on output
port B
2. Once you have verified input pressure, touch the Calibration icon
to enter calibration screen.
Please keep in mind that the exact pressure being fed must be indicated
correctly in this menu prior to calibrating the pressure. Not doing so may
cause the pressure display to show the incorrect pressure.
3. Turn pressure adjustment knob counterclockwise until the wheel can no
longer be turned.
4. Touch the 0 icon to set the pressure to 0
5. Turn pressure adjustment knob clockwise until display output pressure is
100 psi
6. Touch the 100 icon to set the pressure to 100
Warning: Do not turn knob all the way clockwise. 100 psi upper bound should
be set as soon as display output pressure goes from 99 to 100 psi. Continuing
to turn knob clockwise despite pressure on display already being set at
100psi will result in incorrect output pressure readings if the 100 icon were to
be pressed at that time.

Note: The digital values shown at “0” and “100” icons are for reference only.
The actual calibrated values will be different
7. Touch the Reboot icon to save the settings and reboot the system
8. Wait until the system completes the rebooting sequence and the home
screen is displayed
The unit is now calibrated and ready to operate
5.1.3 Controlling Mode
The TS555R can be used as stand-alone controller or integrated to any
robot/automation system.
A. To use as Stand-Alone Controller:
Go to setup screen to check for controlling mode. If the icon “C” is
showing, then it is already set as stand-alone controlling mode. If the
icon “R” is showing, press this icon to change to “C”
B. To use as integrated controller to robot/automation
Press icon “C” to change to “R”
Note: Users will experience inconsistent dispensing and intermittent
behaviors with their dispensing valves if attempting to run the TS550R
in controller mode when interfacing with the robot.

5.2 DISPENSING
5.2.1 Pressure Adjustment
Note: Pressure in Port A is not regulated. It has the same pressure as the
supplied pressure. Port A is used for valve activation pressure. Make sure
the supplied pressure is set at least 70 psi (4.8 bar). Pressure in Port B is
regulated. It provides constant pressure to feed fluid to the valve.
To adjust pressure in port B:
1. Touch the “Pressure B” icon to enter the pressure setup screen
2. Touch the Up and Down arrows to set desired fluid feed pressure
3. Touch the Check Mark icon to save and exit
5.2.2 To Change Pressure Unit Display
Note: The default pressure unit is PSI. To change pressure unit to BAR,
follow the instructions below.
1. Touch the Setup icon to enter the setup screen

11
2. Press the “BAR” icon to change pressure unit to BAR
3. Touch the X icon to save and exit
5.2.3 Manual/Purge Dispense Cycle Setting:
1. Touch the Purge icon to select the purge cycle.
The Purge icon will turn to green color.
2. Press and hold down the foot switch to activate the purge dispense cycle.
Alternately, touch and hold the Run icon on the display to activate the
purge dispense cycle.
5.2.4 Automatic Dispense Cycle Setting
1. Touch the “Timed” mode icon to set the dispense cycle in pre-set dispense
time. The icon should turn to green color.
2. Touch the Dispense icon to enter the setup screen
3. Touch the Up and Down arrows to set the desired dispense time.
Note: The minimum activation time is 0.008 second

12
4. Touch the Check Mark icon to save and exit
5. Press the foot switch to activate the “Timed” dispense cycle.
Alternately, touch the run icon on the display to activate the “Timed”
dispense cycle.
Note: The unit has an “Interrupt” mode feature. In this mode, the
“Timed” dispense cycle can be disrupted if the foot switch is released and
resumed when the Foot Switch is depressed again.
6. Touch the “Interrupt” icon to activate “Interrupt” mode. The icon should
turn to green color.
5.2.5 Teach Mode Setting
In the teach mode, the dispense time will be accumulated as long as the
foot switch is depressed. This is helpful in determining the required
dispense time when the dispense output is known.
1. Touch the “Teach” icon to enter the teach mode
2. Touch the “Time Reset” icon to set timer to zero
3. Press and hold down the foot switch, the dispense time will be accumulated
4. Release the foot switch when the desired amount of fluid has dispensed
5. Touch the “Timed” icon to transfer the accumulated dispense time to
“Timed” mode
6. The unit is now set to repeat this “Timed” cycle
5.3 Stored Program in Memory cell
The unit has 50 memory cells to store all dispense parameters. The controller can
activate all memory cells in sequence mode.
5.3.1 To store dispense parameters
1. Touch the forward or backward arrow to select the desired memory cell.
2. Enter all the desired dispense parameters then touch the “Save” icon to save
the data

13
5.3.2 To run in Continuous Mode
The controller can be setup to repeat the run continuously.
1. Touch the Setup icon to enter the setup screen
2. Touch the “Run Method” icon

14
3. Enter the delay time (ex. 5000 ms)
NOTE: The minimum delay time is 15ms
4. Touch the “Continuous Run” icon
5. Touch the Check Mark icon to save
6. Touch the X icon to exit
The screen will look similarly to the screen below:
Note: If the controller is set to activate memory cell 1 and the delay time is
set at 5000 ms, the controller will activate memory 1 continuously with
5000 ms delay between each activation.
5.3.3 To run in Single Sequence Mode
