Modifying External Zone PID Types
You would only change an external zone PID Type association if you make
use of a different hardware component. Selecting the appropriate PID Type
provides optimum component performance.
NOTE: The Home screen displays the type of applicator this is currently
connected to the melter. The graphic does not change based on PID Type
selection.

NOTES:
S
It is recommended that you power down the melter when you change
external zone components.
S
You cannot mix handguns and automatic applicators.

Touch Custom PID to enter your own PID values. PID is an acronym
for Proportional, Integral, Derivative, which is a continuous feedback
loop that ensures optimum performance and accuracy. Refer to
textbooks or the Internet for proportional integral derivative or PID
Control for additional information
Term Description
P Controls how fast the system responds to changes.
I Controls the offset error between the set point and the actual.
D
Used
to

response
-

only
if
the
feedback signal is stable.
Note: Always leave the Derivative constant set to zero unless
the feedback signal is very stable and noise free; otherwise,
you
may
experience

Configuring the Pump
By default, you should be able to Enable/Disable the pump, change its
Operation mode (Manual or Gear-to-Line) and adjust its speed (RPM).
Use the Advanced pump settings to Calibrate the pump, enable/disable the
Auto Pump option, define Low Adhesive Timeout and hand applicator/pump
settings. Refer to the next chapter for more information.
Requirements for Running the Pump
The following lists the system requirements before you can run the pump:
S
The melter status must indicate Ready/OK.
S
The pump must be On.
S
In addition to the Platen, at least one external zone must be enabled.
S
The Master Heater Control must indicate On.
S
The Master Pump Control must indicate On.
NOTES:
S
The Master Pump and Heater Controls automatically switch Off,
when the melter is in a Fault condition.
S
You must wait until the melter status indicates Ready\OK before you
can manually or remotely switch On the Pump.
S
Use the Auto Pump option to automatically switch On the Pump
once the melter status indicates Ready\OK.
S
The state of a pump is independent of the overall status of the melter.
S
Make sure to save your changes to a recipe. Refer to Managing
Recipes for more information.
S
You can make use of standard or hand applicators in Manual or
Gear-to-Line pump operation modes.
S
If you connect a standard (automatic) applicator to one external zone
and a handgun to a different external zone, regardless of which you
connect first, the pump will operate in hand applicator mode. The
Home screen also displays both zones with a handgun icon,
