Fiber Optic Module 1 Fiber Optic Module Safety Read and follow these safety instructions. Task- and equipment-specific warnings, cautions, and instructions are included in equipment documentation where appropriate. Make sure all equipment documentation, including these instructions, is accessible to persons operating or servicing equipment. Qualified Personnel Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that Nordson equipment is installed, operated, and serviced by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained to safely perform their assigned tasks. They are familiar with all relevant safety rules and regulations and are physically capable of performing their assigned tasks. Intended Use Use of Nordson equipment in ways other than those described in the documentation supplied with the equipment may result in injury to persons or damage to property. Some examples of unintended use of equipment include using incompatible materials making unauthorized modifications removing or bypassing safety guards or interlocks using incompatible or damaged parts using unapproved auxiliary equipment operating equipment in excess of maximum ratings Regulations and Approvals Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which it is used. Any approvals obtained for Nordson equipment will be voided if instructions for installation, operation, and service are not followed. 2008 Nordson Corporation
2 Fiber Optic Module Personal Safety To prevent injury follow these instructions. Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified. Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices. Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the equipment to prevent unexpected movement. Relieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out, and tag switches before servicing electrical equipment. While operating manual spray guns, make sure you are grounded. Wear electrically conductive gloves or a grounding strap connected to the gun handle or other true earth ground. Do not wear or carry metallic objects such as jewelry or tools. If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical or electrostatic equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem has been identified and corrected. Obtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials used. Follow the manufacturer s instructions for safe handling and use of materials, and use recommended personal protection devices. Make sure the spray area is adequately ventilated. To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons. High-Pressure Fluids High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always relieve fluid pressure before adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning. If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical care immediately. If possible, provide a copy of the MSDS for the injected fluid to the health care provider. 2008 Nordson Corporation
Fiber Optic Module 3 The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created a wallet card that you should carry when you are operating high-pressure spray equipment. These cards are supplied with your equipment. The following is the text of this card: WARNING: Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured or even suspect an injury: Go to an emergency room immediately. Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury. Show him this card Tell him what kind of material you were spraying MEDICAL ALERT AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE TO PHYSICIAN Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the bloodstream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable. The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is on the body, whether the substance hit something on its way in and deflected causing more damage, and many other variables including skin microflora residing in the paint or gun which are blasted into the wound. If the injected paint contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide that damage the tissue s resistance to infection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatment that doctors recommend for an injection injury to the hand includes immediate decompression of the closed vascular compartments of the hand to release the underlying tissue distended by the injected paint, judicious wound debridement, and immediate antibiotic treatment. Fire Safety To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions. Ground all conductive equipment. Use only grounded air and fluid hoses. Check equipment and workpiece grounding devices regularly. Resistance to ground must not exceed one megohm. Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice static sparking or arcing. Do not restart the equipment until the cause has been identified and corrected. Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable materials are being used or stored. Do not heat materials to temperatures above those recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure heat monitoring and limiting devices are working properly. 2008 Nordson Corporation
4 Fiber Optic Module Fire Safety (contd) Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of volatile particles or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material MSDS for guidance. Do not disconnect live electrical circuits when working with flammable materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking. Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in a spray booth, immediately shut off the spray system and exhaust fans. Shut off electrostatic power and ground the charging system before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing electrostatic equipment. Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions in your equipment documentation. Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information and advice. Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum components. Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum and explode, causing injury, death, or property damage. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more of the following elements: Element Symbol Prefix Fluorine F Fluoro- Chlorine Cl Chloro- Bromine Br Bromo- Iodine I Iodo- Check your material MSDS or contact your material supplier for more information. If you must use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your Nordson representative for information about compatible Nordson components. Action in the Event of a Malfunction If a system or any equipment in a system malfunctions, shut off the system immediately and perform the following steps: Disconnect and lock out system electrical power. Close hydraulic and pneumatic shutoff valves and relieve pressures. Identify the reason for the malfunction and correct it before restarting the system. Disposal Dispose of equipment and materials used in operation and servicing according to local codes. 2008 Nordson Corporation
Fiber Optic Module 5 Description The Nordson Fiber Optic Module is used to convert an optical speed signal from a Nordson rotary atomizer into a square wave electrical signal which can be used by a RPM indicator or PLC controller to monitor and control rotary atomizer turbine speed. Figure 1 Fiber Optic Module Specifications Height: Width: Depth: Mounting (0.32-in. holes): (width, center to center) (height, center to center) Weight: Power Requirements: Fiber Optic Cable Length 22.9 cm (9.00 in.) 20.32 cm (8.0 in.) 5.08 cm (2.0 in.) 18.42 cm (7.25 in.) 25.1 cm (9.88 in.) 2.95 kg (6.5 lb) 15 Vdc, 100 ma max. 12.2 m (40 ft) Related Equipment and Manuals The following Nordson equipment is used with the Fiber Optic Module: Fiber Optic Cable RPM Indicator Rotary Atomizer The RA-20 Rotary Atomizer is equipped with a visible-light transmitter that sends light pulses through the fiber optic cable to the Fiber Optic Module. Refer to the manuals included with the above equipment for more information on the installation and operation of the optional fiber optic speed sensing system. 2008 Nordson Corporation
6 Fiber Optic Module Operation Description 4 1 2 3 Figure 2 Fiber Optic Module Operation 1. Magnets 2. Visible light transmitter 3. Fiber optic cable 4. Photoelectric sensor The fiber optic module is connected to the rotary atomizer by an optional 12 meter (40 ft) long fiber optic cable. The length of the cable allows the module to be mounted outside the spray area in a non-hazardous environment. One end of the fiber optic cable is connected to a ferrule secured by a set screw to the rotary atomizer interface plate and the other end is connected to the photoelectric sensor in the fiber optic module. A visible light transmitter assembly is installed in the rotary atomizer interface plate. The transmitter contains a coil and LED. Magnets embedded in the turbine wheel generate a pulsating current in the coil as they rotate past it. The LED converts the current into pulses of visible light. The fiber-optic cable transmits the pulses of light to the fiber-optic module. The light pulse is converted by the photoelectric sensor in the module into a 0-15 Vdc square wave output. For open-loop (manual) speed control, this output is used by a display device such as the RPM Indicator to display turbine speed. The operator manually adjusts air flow and pressure to control the turbine speed. For closed-loop (automatic) speed control, this output is used by a PLC controller and voltage-to-pressure or current-to-pressure transducers and regulators to monitor and control turbine speed. 2008 Nordson Corporation

Fiber Optic Module 15 Troubleshooting WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present during troubleshooting procedures. Failure to observe safety precautions may result in serious injury or death. CAUTION: Printed circuit boards are susceptible to damage due to electrostatic discharge. Make sure you are electrically grounded while handling printed circuit boards. Use a grounding strap. This section contains troubleshooting procedures. These procedures cover only the most common problems that you may encounter. If you cannot solve the problem with the information given here, contact your local Nordson representative for help. Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. RPM not displayed or is inaccurate 2. Power source not functioning Wiring between the fiber optic module and receiving device Check and repair loose connections or damaged wiring. 15 V not present Check wiring and the power source output. Repair or replace wiring or power source. Wiring between power source and fiber optic module Voltage is not toggling between 15 V and 0 V Check between GND and TB1-4 on the fiber optic module terminal block. Voltage should toggle between 0 and 15 Vdc as the cup spins. Replace the fiber optic module. Continued... 2008 Nordson Corporation
16 Fiber Optic Module Problem 3. LED lights in fiber optic module do not illuminate Possible Cause Fiber optic cable or visible light transmitter damaged, or photoelectric sensor misadjusted or failed Corrective Action Remove the cover from the fiber optic module. With power applied, bearing air on, and turbine air off, slowly spin the atomizer turbine by hand. The red LED on the sensor should turn on (light sensed) and off as the cup is spun slowly. The red LED on the bottom of the sensor will turn on and remain on when power is applied. Remove the fiber optic cable from the fiber optic module. Spin the cup by hand with bearing air on and the turbine off. Look into the end of the fiber optic cable as the turbine is spun by hand. If a blinking light is seen, adjust the sensor. If the sensor cannot be adjusted, replace it. If a blinking light is not seen, remove the cable from the rotary atomizer and rotate the cup by hand while looking for a red blinking light from the visible light transmitter. If a light is seen, replace the cable. If no light is seen, replace the visible light transmitter. Repair Repair of the fiber optic module is limited to the removal and replacement of the photoelectric sensor. Refer to Parts for the sensor and the fiber optic cable kit part numbers and ordering information. 2008 Nordson Corporation
