1INTRODUCTION
With a micro dispensing of the MDS 3000 line from Vermes Microdispensing you have bought a
high quality product. Due to the long-standing experience of the team in regards to electronic de-
vices and piezo controls, these products provide highest functionality and reliability.
Thank you very much for your trust in us.
We will now show you how to assemble and use the microdispensing system. In order not to im-
pair the inherent safety concept of the system, procedures described in this manual have to be fol-
lowed consequently during installation and operation.
Read this manual before you start the assembly and always consult it during the use of the
microdispensing system. Start with the chapter “Safety Notes” (see page 11). This will help to pre-
vent any problems for the user or the equipment. In the case of further questions, consult our
Technical Support.

The MDS 3000 Product Family
The MDS models are members of the MDS 3000 product family, specialized in most accurate dis-
pensing and designed for flexible use with substances of low, medium and high viscosity (up to
2.000.000 mPas).Applications can be found in the fields of SMT and in the production of electron-
ics, semiconductors and photovoltaic modules and many more.
Each microdispensing system belonging to the MDS 3000 product family is composed of a high pre-
cision valve based on a piezoelectric element (MDV series), a control unit (MDC series) and an op-
tional selectable supply unit.
Due to its compact modular design, the system can be integrated quickly into any existing produc-
tion environment without major preparatory work. A change in the production line (e.g. a modifi-
cation of the liquid to be processed) is easily possible, since all of the dispensing parameters are
adjustable in a large range. Fine-tuning of the sequence is therefore possible at any time. The sys-
tem allows for reproducible proportioning of hundreds of identical single dots (0,3 nl up to
> 200 µl)or beads within a few seconds.
A comprehensive choice of accessories is available, e.g. nozzle inserts, tappets, seals and supply
units, so that the system can easily be adapted to new challenges any time, without giving rise to
major investment.
Valves compatible with MDC 3200+
The base of each Microdispensing System of the MDS 3200+series is the control unit MDC 3200+,
which is then combined with a valve. This can be any valve of the series MDV 3200A or MDV
3200F. This is a complete list:
•MDV 3200F (Order no. 1012887)
•MDV 3200F-HS (Order no. 1013143)
•MDV 3200A-CA (Order no. 1012911)
•MDV 3200A-CP (Order no. 1012852)
•MDV 3200A-HS (Order no. 1012973)
•MDV 3200A-HS-UF (Order no. 1012986)
•MDV 3200A (Order no. 1012270)
•MDV 3200A-AC (Order no. 1012902)

2.3.1 MDT 301 Universal Tool
The tool MDT 301 comprises two subcomponents screwed to each other:
•“Sealmounter“ with a mandrel to insert and to remove the tappet seal (1.)
•“Adjustment grip“ with a receptacle for the nozzle adjusting nut (2.)
Intended Purpose:
1. Fixing and removing of tappet sealing and tappet centering piece
2. Holding nozzle insert to place it in the tappet guidance (sealmounter)
3. It may also be used to execute the general adjust (alternatively to tool MDT 302)
2.3.2 MDT 302 Nozzle Adjusting Tool
This part has a receptacle for the nozzle adjusting nut and a longer
lever to simplify the general adjust. It can also be used in combination with MDT 310, if a better
leverage is needed. The other end is an open-ended wrench (size 8 mm).
Intended Purpose:
1. Performing the adjust
2. Performing the MNL adjust
3. Fixing the tighting screw to the fluid box

2.3.3 MDT 303 Nozzle Insert Changing Tool
The MDT 303 is required for the exchange of the nozzle insert. The 3 pins of the
MDT 303 grip into the receptacle bores of the tappet guidance in order to un-
screw the tappet guidance from the nozzle adjustment nut.
Intended Purpose:
1. Screwing apart nozzle adjusting nut and tappet guidance when changing
the nozzle insert
2.3.4 MDT 304 Nozzle Insert – Squeezing Out Tool
The diameters of the end pieces of tool MDT 304 are not identical, as each of
them is used for a different purpose.

studs latch into the grooves of the tappet centering screw. Then the centering
screw can be inserted or removed by rotating the tool (while applying a light
constant pressure).
Intended Purpose:
1. Removing the present tappet and fixing a new one
2.3.6 Hexagon Socket Key Set
The set includes three socket keys (sizes 2, 2,5 and 3) for hex-screws, with
