Isocyanate Hazard

6 313871E

Isocyanate Hazard

Material Self-ignition

Moisture Sensitivity ofIsocyanatesIsocyanates (ISO) are catalysts used in two componentfoam and polyurea coatings. ISO will react with moisture(such as humidity) to form small, hard, abrasive crystals,which become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a filmwill form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel,increasing in viscosity. If used, this partially cured ISOwill reduce performance and the life of all wetted parts.

To prevent exposing ISO to moisture:

• Always use a sealed container with a desiccantdryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere. Neverstore ISO in an open container.

• Keep the ISO lube pump reservoir (if installed) filledwith Graco Throat Seal Liquid (TSL), Part 206995.The lubricant creates a barrier between the ISO andthe atmosphere.

• Use moisture-proof hoses specifically designed forISO, such as those supplied with your system.

• Never use reclaimed solvents, which may containmoisture. Always keep solvent containers closedwhen not in use.

• Never use solvent on one side if it has been contam-inated from the other side.

• Always lubricate threaded parts with ISO pump oilor grease when reassembling.

Keep Components A andB Separate

Foam Resins with 245 faBlowing AgentsNew foam blowing agents will froth at temperaturesabove 90°F (33°C) when not under pressure, especiallyif agitated. To reduce frothing, minimize preheating in acirculation system.

Changing Materials• When changing materials, flush the equipment mul-

tiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.

• Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.

• Check with your material manufacturer for chemicalcompatibility.

• Most materials use ISO on the A side, but some useISO on the B side.

• Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener)side. Polyureas often have amines on the B (resin)side.

Spraying materials containing isocyanates createspotentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized par-ticulates.

Read material manufacturer’s warnings and materialMSDS to know specific hazards and precautionsrelated to isocyanates.

Prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, andatomized particulates by providing sufficient ventila-tion in the work area. If sufficient ventilation is notavailable, a supplied-air respirator is required foreveryone in the work area.

To prevent contact with isocyanates, appropriate per-sonal protective equipment, including chemicallyimpermeable gloves, boots, aprons, and goggles, isalso required for everyone in the work area.

Some materials may become self-igniting if appliedtoo thickly. Read material manufacturer’s warningsand material MSDS.

The amount of film formation and rate of crystalli-zation varies depending on the blend of ISO, thehumidity, and the temperature.

CAUTIONTo prevent cross-contamination of the equipment’swetted parts, never interchange component A (isocy-anate) and component B (resin) parts.

When temperature control is on but theassociated metering pump motor is off, the indicatorbelow will show “Permitted.” If the temperature control isoff for any reason, the indicator will display “not permit-ted” to show that the temperature control will not turn onwhen the metering pump motor is turned on.

The element temperature is the temperature measuredby the probe on the heater element. The Iso/Poly tem-perature is the material temperature measured by theprobe diretly upstream of the respective flowmeter.

Hose Temperature Control

These buttons are used to turn the hose temperaturecontrol on or off. The Low Temp and High Temp are thealarm limits for the respective hose temperature setpoint. The Output percent shows the output of the tem-perature controller to the heated hose. The TemperatureController automatically controls the output to theheated hoses. The Output percent displays the outputpercent of the temperature controller. When the Outputpercent is 100, the temperature controller is full on heat-ing.

Blocking Valve/Gun Close Delay

Sets delay time for blocking valve/gun close delay. Thisis used to offset any delay as the blocking valve or gunwears.

The blocking valve delay is the duration of time theblocking valve will wait to close after receiving a pourcommand. This is to account for the slower opening ofthe gun. The gun close delay is the delay after the signalis removed before the gun closes.

Poly High/Low Pour PSI

The poly pump is equipped with a pressure transducer,which monitors the outlet pressure of the poly pump.The poly high/low pressure are the maximum and mini-mum pressure settings and serve the same function asthe pressure switches found on the iso pump.

As a mechanical backup, a pressure relief valve islocated on the hydraulic power pack limiting the hydrau-lic pump. It is factory set to 850 psi which allows the polymaterial pump to build pressure up to 3200 psi.

Tanks

To ensure proper supply of material to the MixHead, themachine includes temperature conditioned and pressur-ized day tanks.

Temperature conditioning is accomplished by circulatingthe chemicals through a heat exchanger and optionalheater in the return line to tank. The operator-selectedtemperature is maintained by the program.

To assure adequate chemical pressure at the inlet to themetering pump, the tank must be pressurized with dryair to the specification listed in the table at the beginningof the Settings section on page 35.

The fluid level in the tank must be manually maintainedbetween 60% to 90% full to assure proper temperatureand aeration control, unless the optional Auto-Fill sys-tem is installed. A tank fluid level sight gauge (MH) isalso provided.

Should the pressure in a tank rise excessively while thetank is refilling, an operator adjustable pressure reliefvalve is provided to assist the regulator in bleeding thepressure. The recommended set point for this valve islisted in the table at the beginning of the Settings sec-tion on page 35.

Level Sensor

A sensitivity adjustment is provided for the level sensorsto compensate for various liquid properties. Turn clock-wise to increase sensitivity and counterclockwise todecrease sensitivity.

Metering Pump Inlet Filter

Air Pressure System

The air supplied to the machine must be dry. To removeexcess moisture and particulate matter from the shopair, a water separator is provided. For the day tanks only,a desiccant air dryer is provided to charge the day tanks.To prevent contamination of the air system by a reactionof the iso fumes with the poly fumes, the systems areisolated by means of separate check valves.

Adjust Day Tank Settings

See Day Tank Settings section on page 39 for moreinformation.

CAUTION

Relieving tank pressure may introduce moist air intothe system causing crystallization and damage to themachine.

The pumps must never be run dry. If the meteringpump is not properly supplied with fluid and pressureduring operation, cavitation will result. This will dam-age the pump and will lead to an “off ratio” condition.

CAUTION

The metering pump inlet filter prevents particulate mat-ter from damaging the precision metering pumps. Thefilter element is a basket type and should it becomeclogged, it will cause cavitation of the pump resulting indamage to the pump. Therefore, it is necessary that thefilter be properly serviced at all times. See Mainte-nance section on page 44.

The minimum recommended supplied dry air pres-sure is listed in the table at the beginning of theSettings section on page 35.

Setup

313871E 27

Setup

The machine is assembled on a heavy-duty steel framethat accepts all the major operating components. Themachine will arrive from the factory pre-assembled,completely tested and ready for installation. If the unitincludes a boom, the unit will come fully assembled withthe boom detached. Setting the unit in place, providingelectric service to the main electric console, connectingthe air supply, servicing the hydraulic and day tanks,connecting the hoses and gun, and, if included, install-ing the boom is required.

Prior to installing the machine, check for any damagethat may have occurred during transit. If any damage isfound, notify Graco immediately.

The machine is to be installed on a flat surface in anarea that permits easy access to all areas of themachine for maintenance and operation.

The metering unit was plumbed, wired and tested at thefactory. For transporting purposes, the unit was drainedof all fluids and the chemical hoses were detached.

The machine has been designed to prevent the acciden-tal connection of chemical hoses to the wrong source.The Iso pressure hose is color coded red for pressureand red/white for return. The Poly pressure hose iscolor-coded blue for pressure and blue/white for return.

Avoid breathing of vapors and contact with Isocya-nate as some people have severe allergic reactions.See Isocyanate Hazard on page 6.

Day Tanks

Tanks

Connect all hoses and slowly pressurize each tank whilechecking for any leaks. See Settings section on page35 for suggested pressure procedure.

Chemical Feed System

Each day tank has an inlet port on the back, where thechemical feed line gets connected.

Each tank has an auto-fill air solenoid valve located onthe center column between the two tanks. Air lines needto be run from these air solenoid valves to the properfeed pump.

Robot InterfaceThe following information is the typical sequence ofoperation for a Robot Dispense Command.

1. The Robot System is placed in the proper state forautomatic cycle.

2. The RC System is placed in the proper state forautomatic cycle (remote mode).

3. The RC System turns on the “RC System Ready forAutomatic Cycle” signal.

4. The Robot System turns on the “Robot High Pres-sure Request” signal.

5. The RC System goes into high-pressure recircula-tion mode and readies itself for dispensing

6. The RC System turns on the “RC System Ready forDispense” signal.

7. The Robot System turns on the “Robot System Dis-pense” command.

8. The RC System opens the spray gun (begins to dis-pense) and the “RC Dispensing” signal is turned on.

9. The Robot System turns off the “Robot System Dis-pense Command” signal.

10. The RC System closes the gun (stops dispensing)and turns off the “RC System Dispensing” signal.

11. At this point in the sequence, the spray process canbe repeated by returning to step 7 or the robot canreturn the RC System machine to low-pressurerecirculation mode by turning off the “Robot SystemHigh-Pressure Request” signal

Blocking ValveTo provide the ability to set the Iso and Polyol dispenserate and pressure, a blocking valve and back-pressureregulator valve are provided. When the signal is sent todispense and the RC machine is in the proper state, theblocking valve will close and the air solenoid will open toallow the gun to dispense. When the machine is inhigh-pressure recirculation mode, the pressure can beset with the back-pressure regulator. Since the gun isoperated by an air solenoid, a hydraulic power pack isnot installed in this machine and will differ from the stan-dard RC machine in this regard.

NOTE: To prolong the life of the back-pressure valve,remove the regulator handle and fill the cavity withMesamoll. Verify this monthly, more often dependingupon conditions and usage.

To provide greater temperature control of the Polyol andIso materials, a low-pressure re-circulation circuit is pro-vided. This bypasses the regulator and allows the mate-rial to be temperature controlled under low pressure.

Settings

Temperature ControlThe high and low temperature setpoints on the HMI areused to alert the operator of an out-of-limit condition.When these alarms are triggered, the pumps will stillfunction and pouring will not be stopped.

There is a mechanical heater switch that will shut offpower to the heater if the chemical temperature goesabove the setting. The pumps will continue to run if theheater is shut off so that the chemical can be cooled byflowing through the Heat Exchanger.

Built into the HMI program there is an absolute hightemperature alarm that will shut down the pumps whentriggered.

If a MAG drive motor is installed, a MAG drive over-tem-perature alarm is provided to prevent motor overheating.See table at beginning of this section for alarm setting.

Temperature Control On/Off

Temperature Control is turned on/off from the Tank Con-trol screen, see FIG. 6 on page 18. With TemperatureControl turned on, the heat exchanger and heater willwork to maintain each chemical temperature to the inputtemperature setpoint. The heat exchanger works to coolthe fluid with water from the inlet. Water inlet valves con-trol cooling by cycling open and closed as necessary.The heater works to heat the material by exposing thechemical to heated rods that are turned on and off asnecessary.

Temperature Setpoint

The temperature setpoint is the goal temperature for thechemical. The machine will automatically maintain thetemperature of the chemical within a reasonable rangefrom the input temperature setpoint based on the cur-rent gain settings, see Temperature Gains, page 36.

High Temperature Setpoint

The high temperature setpoint is the temperature atwhich the high temperature alarm will be triggered tonotify the operator that there is a problem and themachine should be inspected for the cause. This alarmis disabled for the first thirty minutes of operation toallow the chemical temperature to stabilize withoutunnecessary alarms. The suggested high temperaturevaries by chemical but should be the highest tempera-ture at which the chemical will react as desired whenmixed at the MixHead.

Low Temperature Setpoint

The low temperature setpoint is the temperature atwhich the low temperature alarm will be triggered tonotify the operator that there is a problem and that themachine should be inspected for the cause. The lowtemperature setpoint should be the lowest temperatureat which the chemical will as desired react at the Mix-Head.

Temperature Gains

Gains are shown on the Gains Control screen, see FIG.12 on page 24. This screen is accessed from the Scal-ing screen, see FIG. 11 on page 23. Gains control twothings: temperature fluctuation from the setpoint andheating time at startup. The default setting for all fourGains is “100”. This setting will maintain a reasonablemargin for temperature as well as a reasonable time forheating at initial startup.

If the temperatures are not controlled to your desire withthe gains set to the default settings of “100”, you may beable to adjust the gains to make the machine work betterfor your application. Things to consider when adjustingthe gains:

• It is recommended that all four gains be set to thesame number

• Higher gains will lead to faster heating at initialstartup but will increase the temperature fluctuation

• Lower gains will lead to smaller temperature mar-gins and slower heating at initial startup

• Lower chemical flow rates require higher gains tokeep the materials from overheating

• Higher flow rates may accept lower gains withoutoverheating

To adjust the gains, first turn off the chemical pumpmotors, then navigate to the Scaling screen and select“Temp Gains”. Ensure that all four gains are shown as“100.” If not, set them to the factory setting of “100”, turnon the chemical pump motors, and let the chemical tem-peratures stabilize into a pattern check whether adjust-ment is needed.

If you wish to change the gain settings, turn off thechemical pump motors, and alter the gain settings to getthe desired results as suggested in the previous para-graphs. Be aware of the temperatures while waiting forthe machine to stabilize into a pattern. If at any time thechemicals begin getting too hot, hit the Emergency Stopand reset the gains to 100. Repeat the procedure untilchemical temperatures are maintained as desired.

CAUTION

Adjusting the temperature gains should only be per-formed by a technician knowledgeable in the opera-tion of this machine. Incorrect adjustment of thetemperature gains can lead to overheating, erratictemperature control, and/or poor chemical reaction atthe MixHead during pours due to poor temperaturecontrol.

If the temperature gains have been altered andtemperature control is not performing as desired,reset all four gains to “100.”

If Night mode is used then the chemical tempera-ture is maintained, so higher gains are not needed.

CAUTION

Lowering the gains can lead to the materials andpumps overheating.

The procedure below will help to find gains that willmaintain temperature within a desired margin, butwill also effect warm-up time.

313871E 37

To check initial heating time, once the chemicals havecooled to ambient temperature turn on the pumps andheaters. If it takes too long to heat up, either raise thegains or consider using Night Mode to maintain chemi-cal temperature during down-time.

Heated Hose and Power ControlSystem

Please refer to the included heated hose manual,309572, for safety and warning instructions regardingthe installed heated hoses.

The Hose Power Control System automatically main-tains an optimum power setting for hose heat systemsbased upon the temperature value inputted by the oper-ator in the software. The system eliminates the need formanual adjustment of transformer tap settings or man-ual hose heat power control. The transformers and con-trollers are located inside the two side cabinets mountedto the main electrical enclosure.

When troubleshooting the system, input a temperaturethat is higher than the current hose temperature to turnthe hose heaters on. Referencing the following image,ensure the green signal light above terminal #4 is on.Also verify that the orange current limit light above termi-nal #5 is on.

As the hose reaches the commanded temperature, theorange current limit light will flicker off slowly, followed bythe green light.

If you have a true RMS AC current meter, you can checkone of the hose cables for 45 amps AC +/- 2 amps whilethe green signal light and orange current limit light areboth steadily on. The Hose Heat Output percent on theTemperature Control Screen should read 100%.

Pouring Settings

Iso, Poly Specific Gravity

Chemical specific gravities are entered from the Setupscreen, see FIG. 9 on page 21. This entry is used to cal-culate mass flow in grams by multiplying by the volumet-ric flow measured by the flow meter. It is very importantthat the chemicals’ correct specific gravities are entered,to ensure accurate pours.

Preset Pour Timers

Preset Pour Timers are presets that enable quick execu-tion of pours with specific durations. To execute a pourof a specific length, change one of the preset pour tim-ers on the Pour Time Editor Screen, see page 20 thenselect that channel on the Manual Control screen. Pressthe “Start” button on the Manual Control screen. Thechannel can be changed at any time and the next shotduration will be based on the preset time for the selectedchannel. If a channel has a time of “0.00” then no pourwill occur, but the pressure will build and hold in thesame manner as when a pour does occur.

Pressure Build Time

Pressure Build Time is set using the Setup screen, seeFIG. 9 on page 21. When a pour is initiated the machinewill build pressure to get ready to pour. Pressure BuildTime gives the machine time to stabilize pressure. Oncea pour is initiated the build timer begins and when thebuild time elapses if the machine has reached high pres-sure the pour will begin.

A new pour that is started before the machine goes outof high-pressure can begin pouring as soon as the pourpush-button is pressed. The time the machine stays inhigh pressure is called “High Pressure Hold Time.”

High Pressure Hold Time

High Pressure Hold Time is set using the Setup screen,see FIG. 9 on page 21. This is the time that the meteringsystem will stay in high-pressure after a pour has beencompleted. This time should be increased if shots are tobe performed in rapid succession, so the machine doesnot return to low pressure circulation. Allowing themachine to exit high pressure circulation between rapidshots will lead to a longer wait between shots.

Low Level Bypass On/Off

Low Level Bypass is turned on/off from the MachineControl screen, see FIG. 5 on page 17. Having LowLevel Bypass on or off determines whether the meteringpump motors will continue to run after the fluid level ineither or both tanks drops below the low level sensorduring an automatic mode shot.

During a pour with Low Level Bypass off, when the tanklevel drops below the low level sensor and that pourstops, the metering pump motors will stop.

During a pour with Low Level Bypass on, when the tanklevel drops below the low level sensor and that pourstops, the metering pump motors will continue to circu-late material.

Manual mode pours will always stop when fluid leveldrops below the low level sensor whether low levelbypass is on or off.

Pours will not be allowed to start when the fluid level ineither or both tanks is below the low level sensor.

Flow-Rate Display Filter

See FIG. 11 on page 23 for more information.

MixHead Settings

MixHead On/Off

The MixHead must be turned on to dispense chemical.When the MixHead is turned off, “dry cycling” will beenabled but will not occur unless all conditions requiredfor starting a pour are met. Dry cycling is when themachine does everything necessary to do a pour with-out opening the material piston so that material is notdispensed.

To “dry cycle” the machine, execute a pour without turn-ing on the MixHead. The machine will go through thenormal cycle for pouring, without dispensing material,and if anything is not running correctly an alarm will betriggered. Dry cycling is useful when an alarm has beentriggered and the cause of the alarm needs to be found.In that situation, reset the alarm, attempt to fix the prob-lem, and “dry cycle” the machine to test whether theproblem has been corrected, without wasting any mate-rial.

Chemical Flow Settings

Adjusting Chemical Line Pressures

Having pressure equal between the iso and poly lines isimportant for proper mixing. The usual guideline forproper mixing is to have the difference in pressures lessthan a few hundred psi. Whenever the pressures are notequal adjust the chemical line pressures, using the backpressure regulator valves.

CAUTION

Using low level bypass allows the pumps to continuerunning when an automatic shot is performed and thefluid level in one or both tanks goes below the lowlevel sensor. If your application will ever require per-forming an automatic shot that will dispense morethan four gallons from one of the tanks, be very cau-tious of fluid level before performing shots.

See Setup Screen on page 21 and Machine Con-trol Screen on page 17 for details about changingthe following settings.

• Main and Control Power on

• Night Mode must be off

• Appropriate Metering Pump Motors must be on

When the preceding requirements are met:

1. Select manual mode and high pressure override toput the machine into high-pressure circulation.

2. When the chemical line pressures are within200 psi, turn off the high pressure override.

Adjusting Metering Pump Motor RPM

If Variable Frequency Drive is installed then the meter-ing pump motor rpm can be adjusted individually forboth metering pump motors. This is done using the FlowControl Screen on the HMI, see FIG. 10 on page 22.

1. Navigate to the Flow Control screen.

2. Under the “Flow Control” heading, select “Manual”mode.

3. Under “Manual Mode Setpoints,” type in the desiredmetering pump motor percent for each motor.

Day Tank Settings

Adjusting Day Tank Air Pressure

1. Stop incoming air by closing the day tank incomingair valve.

2. Open day tank manual vent valve (MB).

3. Allow the day tank charge pressure to bleed to 5 psi(0.034 MPa, 0.34 bar).

4. Close the day tank manual vent valve (MB).

5. Open day tank incoming air valve (MK).

6. Adjust pressure regulator (MC) fully clockwise.

7. Set day tank pressure by turning pressure regulator.See the table at the beginning of the Settings sec-tion on page 35 for recommended setting.

8. Adjust the pressure regulator counter-clockwiseuntil it just starts to exhaust.

9. From this point, adjust the pressure regulator clock-wise one half-turn.

10. Lock valve knob in place.

The pressure for the two chemical lines should bewithin 200 psi to avoid chemical crossover at theMixHead. Chemical crossover will lead to chemi-cals mixing and curing within the MixHead and willrequire more frequent MixHead rebuilding.

Tank fumes will discharge when opening the day tankmanual vent valve.

CAUTION

Do not allow the pressure to drop below 5 psi as thismay introduce moist air to the system. This is espe-cially important during periods of extended shutdown.See Moisture Sensitivity of Isocyanates, page 6.

Calibrating Machine-Calculated Mass Flow

The following procedure describes how to adjust themass flowrate calculated by the machine. To calculatethe mass flowrate, the machine uses the chemical spe-cific gravities entered on the Setup screen, the volumet-ric flow measured by the flow meters, and the K-Factorinputs for each chemical.

The flow meters are calibrated at the factory and willnever need to be calibrated unless harmful materialspass through them, such as solvents or materials includ-ing abrasives, which are strongly discouraged for use inthe machine.

While this procedure adjust the K-Factor, its purpose isto fine-tune the calculated specific gravity of each chem-ical used. Because of this, it is very important to haveaccurate chemical specific gravities entered on theSetup.

Parts/Tools Required

• 5 Gallon Bucket to catch spilled material

• 5 Gallon Bucket to weigh dispensed material

• Weighing scale to measure weight of empty andfilled bucket

Relieve Pressure

1. Turn off all motors.

2. Turn the main panel power handle to the off positionand lockout.

3. Relieve air pressure, hydraulic fluid pressure, andchemical line pressure. See Pressure Relief Pro-cedure on page 43.

11. Place the calibration bucket in an appropriate loca-tion to catch the dispensed material.

12. Navigate to the Scaling screen and under “SingleStream Calibration Shots” press the button labeledas the chemical to be calibrated.

13. Press the pour start button. A shot lasting the presettime for the channel selected on the pour pendantwill begin.

Avoid breathing of vapors and contact with Isocya-nate as some people have severe allergic reactions.See Isocyanate Hazard on page 6.

This section applies only to systems with FlowMeters.

Scaling screen access is required for calibration.The Scaling screen can only be accessed whenlogged in using a specific username and passwordwhich is controlled by the owner of the machine.Before performing this procedure, ensure you canaccess the Scaling screen. To log in, navigate tothe Main Menu screen, select “Login” and type inthe appropriate username and password.

The specific gravities entered on the HMI at the fac-tory are for mesamoll which is used to test themachine before shipment. The specific gravities willneed to be updated every time new chemicals areused.

Before performing this procedure, verify the specificgravities entered on the HMI are accurate for thechemicals currently in each tank. See Iso, PolySpecific Gravity on page 37.

Because this procedure is for fine-tuning, havingeven a small amount of material splash out of thebucket will affect the calibration effectiveness. Thebucket should be held at an angle to prevent mate-rial splashing.

3. Walk around the machine and inspect for looseclamps and fittings.

4. Tighten clamps and fittings as necessary.

Check Hoses for WearLook for wear on all hoses where they come into contactwith anything. Over time, rubbing may wear down thehose and increase the chance for a hose rupturing.Replace all hoses with noticeable wear.

Replace the PLC battery

If a “PLC Battery Low” alarm is triggered, the battery willneed to be replaced.

1. Turn off main power.

2. If necessary, unlock the main panel door.

3. Open the main panel door.

Always relieve day tank pressure and close the tankbleed valve to prevent fluid flow to the metering pumpinlet filter. Failure to do this can lead to gettingsprayed with chemical when opening the filter.

CAUTION

Do not open the metering pump inlet filter cap imme-diately before leaving the machine at rest for a longperiod of time. This will introduce moist air to thechemical and may cause the chemical to react andnot mix properly when dispensed.

This procedure requires exposing the chemicals tomoist air. Have all necessary tools and parts nearbyto minimize the amount of time the chemicals areexposed to the moist air.

One indication that the metering pump inlet filterrequires service is the low inlet pressure alarmswhen there is adequate day tank pressure and fluidvolume in the tanks.

This procedure requires entering the main panelwhere the main power is routed. To avoid seriousinjury or death, disconnect main power source at thewall using breaker or by unplugging the machine.
