Operation

5.1 Connecting the Unit

1. Connect the power cord and foot switch to the back of the
   unit.

2. Connect the pumps to Ports C and D. The Left pump is typically
   connected to Port C and the Right pump is typically connected to
   Port D.

3. Connect Syringe air hoses to Ports A and B. Caution: Port A and
   B share the same regulated air source. If the viscosity of the
   resin is significantly higher than the hardener, please use an
   external regulated air source for the resin.

4. Press the Power switch to turn on the unit.

FAQ

1. 1. How do I connect the power cord and foot switch?

To connect the power cord and foot switch, locate the
corresponding ports at the back of the unit. Plug in the power cord
to the designated port and connect the foot switch to its
respective port.

1. 1. Which pumps should be connected to Ports C and D?

The Left pump is typically connected to Port C and the Right
pump is typically connected to Port D.

1. 1. What should I do if the viscosity of the resin is significantly  

   higher than the hardener?

If the viscosity of the resin is significantly higher than the
hardener, it is recommended to use an external regulated air source
for the resin instead of sharing it with Port A and B.

1. 1. How do I turn on the unit?

To turn on the unit, simply press the Power switch located on
the unit.

5.5 Pressure Sensor Calibration The pressure sensors are offered as optional accessories to measure the material pressure differential between the two pumps. When the mixing nozzle is restricted and started to clog, the material will flow upstream, causing cross-contamination. When this event occurred, the material pressure differential will increase significantly. The pressure sensors will send the signal to the controller shut down to pump.
Preparation
NOTE: In order for pressure sensing to be operational, the Max. Pressure Differential setting must be non-zero. Please refer to Section 5.10.
· Ensure the Pressure Differential value is set to a non-zero value. · External pressure sensors should be attached to the pumps and connected to
the rear panel.
· The pumps should be prepared to dispense as desired (Rate and Ratio). · Purge Mode should be selected.

The calibration is complete. The Micro-Meter Mix will now stop dispensing if the pressure differential (or absolute pressure) exceeds the values set on the external pressure page (page 6) of the Program Profile Setup. 5.6 Pressure Adjustment Note: Pressure on port A and B provides constant regulated pressure. These two pressure outlets can be used to pressurize the fluid reservoir to feed fluid to Pump 1 and Pump 2. Please note that the pressure output is the same on both ports. If the viscosity of the resin is significantly higher than the hardener, then use external pressure regulator to control the resin. 1. Rotate the pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase the pressure. 2. Rotate the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise to decrease the output
pressure. The output pressure will display in the A/B section located on the bottom left-hand corner.

5.9 The Pot Time Timer The Pot Time timer is used to help avoid material curing within the valve assembly. Set the Pot Time timer based on the “pot life” of your mixed 2K material. Pot life is the amount of time between when the two components are mixed, and the combined material is no longer dispensable. The timer is set to an amount of time less than the pot life of the combined material. When the timer is finished counting down, the pumps will purge, expelling the old material and replacing it with fresh. This process can be set to one (1) cycle or to repeat continuously. The Potting function will deliver either a second dispense after a user-initiated dispense (Single) or a repeating cycle of dispenses after a user-initiated dispense (Endless). To enable the Potting feature:
1. Select Shot Type “Single” or “Endless” (Figure 19 & 20) 2. Set a non-zero Potting Time (Figure 21)

5.10 Flush Function The Flush function is used to avoid 2-component material curing in the valve assembly. Material from one (1) of the valves is dispensed to “flush” the 2K mixer from the valve. Since only one component of the 2-component mixer is dispensed, the material in the mixer will not cure. When Flush is selected, the Potting Timer is disabled. Flush will dispense based on Flush Time, Selected Channel Pump. Flush Channel, and Mixer Size. To enable the Flush feature: (Figure 22)

9. Maintenance
The controller is designed and built to be relatively maintenance free. To ensure trouble-free operation, please follow the steps below:
· Make certain the air supply is clean and dry. · Avoid connecting the unit to excessive moisture or solvent saturation. · Avoid connecting air supply exceeding 100 psi (6.9 bars). · Use only amyl alcohol to clean the outside surface of the main housing. · Use only a soft cloth to clean the display screen.
10. Appendix: Dispense Correction in Certain Applications
Sometimes, due to the nature of fluid properties (especially viscosity) and the requirements for dispense time, it may be difficult to achieve correct ratios and/or correct quantities.
Section 5.11.5 identifies a tool to correct ratios, ‘P2 Adjust’. It fine-tunes the dispense rate of Pump 2. Pump 2 is most often the smaller of the ratio, so dispenses at a lower rate compared to Pump 1 for many pump mix/matches. The means adjusting its rate has a greater effect on overall dispense.
Please note that in Volume and Quantity mode, the dispense quantity is controlled by pump travel. Motor speeds are calculated and set such that each pump should deliver its own quantity, but that both pumps finish at the same time. Note that the moment one pump has reached its travel, both pumps must stop. Stopping just one pump will create an impurity in the stream of fluids.
Increasing Pump 2 speed will cause it to finish earlier, which will have the effect of stopping pump 1 earlier, and reducing its delivered quantity. Decreasing Pump 2 speed will cause Pump 1 to stop first, so Pump 2 will deliver less.
When the user resorts to using the P2 Adjust feature, it can throw the dispense quantity/volume off. In this case it may be necessary to manually adjust the dispense so that the desired quantity is achieved. This can be achieved by calculating the deficit or overage and increasing or decreasing the setting accordingly.

Micro-Meter Mix Controller USER GUIDE For example, if the user desires a volume of 3mL, and is getting 2.7 mL (by weighing the components and accounting for density) they might adjust the dispense volume upwared as follows: 3.0 / 2.7 = 1.11 Then: 3.0 1.11 = 3.33 Increasing the desired volume to 3.33 should yield a dispensed volume of 3.0 mL as desired. If the user desires a volume of 3mL, and is getting 3.5 mL (by weighing the components accounting for density) they might adjust the dispense volume downwards as follows: 3.0 / 3.5 = 0.857 Then: 3.0 0.857 = 2.57 Decreasing the desired volume to 2.57 should yield a dispensed volume of 3.0 mL as desired.
