Description
The ProBlue Fulfill Retrofit Kit converts a ProBlue 4, 7 or 10 melter into an
automatic fill system that maintains adhesive in the melter, improving
productivity and reducing maintenance. The retrofit kit adds adhesive to the
sealed tank, reducing the possibility of char, contaminants, thermal shock
and incorrect adhesive temperatures that result in poor adhesive bonding.

The Fulfill system is shipped with the components illustrated in Figure 2.

Theory of Operation
 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated
information.

Overview
The system adds small quantities of adhesive to the sealed tank at regular
intervals, reducing the possibility of adhesive char, contaminants, thermal
shock and incorrect adhesive temperatures that result in poor bonding.

A capacitance sensor located in the melter detects low adhesive level, and
then sends a signal to the system control. A delay timer prevents the fill
system from frequently cycling on and off.

At the end of the delay the control activates the vacuum via a solenoid valve.
Air pressure flows to a suction lance that is placed in the supplied bulk
adhesive container. Using vacuum, the system conveys adhesive from the
bulk container to the adhesive melter tank.

The controller activates the suction lance for a limited amount of time to
prevent over‐fill conditions. If the maximum fill time is exceeded, the
controller activates a fault that stops the system from filling.

3 1

Figure 3 Assembled ProBlue Fulfill retrofit assembly.

(1). Adhesive Storage Bin


Place adhesive in the adhesive storage bin. The bin contains a gasket that
prevents debris from entering the bin. For best results, break up the
adhesive as much as possible when emptying into the bin. Do not get the
adhesive wet.

(2). Air Pressure Regulator/Solenoid Assembly


The supplied air pressure regulator is permanently set at 65 psig, the optimal
setting for most adhesives.

The solenoid valve turns on after the sensor indicates level state and the time
delay has been reached. The solenoid directs compressed air to flow to the
suction lance.

Part 1121788_02  2013 Nordson Corporation


Fulfill Retrofit Kit − ProBlue 4/7/10 Melters 15

(3). Suction Lance


The suction lance draws adhesive from the adhesive storage bin. The
suction lance includes:

 A venturi pump to draw in and transport the adhesive.


 A vibrator to keep the adhesive in loose condition. The vibrator is active
as long as compressed air is supplied to the suction lance.
Air line tubing and the adhesive transfer hose are connected to the suction
lance. The lance is placed in the PVC pipe located in the adhesive storage
bin.

(4). Adhesive Transfer Hose


The adhesive transfer hose connects the suction lance to the lid assembly.
The transfer hose conveys adhesive from the adhesive storage bin to the
melter tank.

(5). Lid Assembly


The lid assembly includes the filter stack, lid, fill tube, baffle and deflector:
 The filter stack contains a replaceable filter sock to prevent adhesive
fines and talc/powder in the adhesive from being emitted into the ambient
air.
 The fill tube attaches to the adhesive transfer hose.
 The baffle prevents adhesive from entering the filter sock.
 The deflector distributes adhesive evenly in the tank.
Two thumb screws mount the lid to the melter. The thumbscrews can be
replaced by Allen head screws supplied in the ship with kit. Do not remove
the lid during operation, unless the system is disabled by turning power off at
the control box.

(6). Pump Inlet Screen (Not Shown)


The pump inlet screen is specifically designed for use with the fill system. It
easily snaps in place, and blocks any adhesive from flowing on to the sensor
from the return port in the ProBlue tank.

PCA
 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A,Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated information.

See Figure 5. The PCA is inside the control box:

Figure 5 PCA board (located inside the control box)


 Connect line voltage to the control box at the supplied terminal block
and ground. Power can be supplied from the plant service to the
control box or directly from the ProBlue melter using the optional
power harness kit.
 A potentiometer labeled ”Delay” is for a fill time delay. This delay is
the time duration between the level sensor calling for more adhesive
and when the fill system activates. The delay time prevents the
system from frequently turning on and off. The delay time is preset
from the factory at 60 seconds, but can be adjusted from 0 to 119
seconds. The factory sets the potentiometer at the 12 o'clock
position, sufficient for the majority of applications. For reference, 9
o'clock is 20 seconds and 3 o'clock is 100 seconds.

 2013 Nordson Corporation Part 1121788_02


18 Fulfill Retrofit Kit − ProBlue 4/7/10 Melters

PCA (contd)
 A potentiometer labeled fault limits the amount of filling time in case of
level sensor failure. t is only for overflow protection. The factory
setting is at the 12 o'clock position, sufficient in most applications.
The time can be adjusted from 5 to 115 seconds. For reference, the 9
o'clock position is 22 seconds and the 3 o'clock position is 98
seconds.
 A potentiometer labeled ”AIR” is a pre‐vibrate timer for the optional
storage bin vibrator kit. The range for this potentiometer is 0 to 20
seconds. When installed, this vibrator will activate up to 20 seconds
before the fill system activates and stay on until the level sensor is
satisfied. This kit is well suited for adhesives and plant conditions
that are prone to bridging.
 A dip switch labeled SW1 is preset at the factory. Position M1 should
always be OFF and position M2 should always be ON.
 A terminal block labeled ”XT2”. An optional light tower may be
attached here. The functions of the light tower are
‐ Fill (Blue) - visual
‐ Fault (Red) - visual
‐ Fault (Alarm) - audible.
NOTE: The fault outputs will engage simultaneously.

(8). Sensor
 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated
information.

NOTE: The Theory of Operation has been revised to reflect the new control
box, PCA and level sensor. Refer to Appendix A for the current Theory of
Operation as it pertains to the new control box and PCA.

The level sensor detects the level of adhesive in the melter tank. When the
adhesive falls below the set point, the level sensor sends a signal to the Fulfill
control box.

The sensor comes preset from the factory for an average application
whereby the tank is typically molten. For optimal performance based on
specific applications, see the Level Sensor Adjustment and Calibration
detailed later in the manual.

Level Sensor Adjustment and Calibration


 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A,Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated information.

The level sensor consists of a level probe and a control box. The level probe
permanently connects to the control box by a wire. The level probe has a
black line around its diameter near the tip to note the maintained adhesive
level.

CAUTION! Do not raise the fill line of the probe above 2 inches from bottom
of the probe holder. Doing so will degrade the level sensor's performance.

Figure 13 Adjustment potentiometer

See Figure 13. The LED indicator next to the adjustment potentiometer on
the control box changes color from green to amber, depending on the
adhesive level that the probe detects. When adhesive drops below the
desired level, the LED will turn green. When adhesive reaches or exceeds
the desired level, the LED will turn amber. The adjustment potentiometer
sets the sensitivity of the level sensor. Different adhesives require different
calibration settings. Adhesives that build up on the level probe require less
sensitivity, while adhesives that do not build up on the level probe require
more sensitivity. The level sensor should be recalibrated any time the level
probe's height is changed or the type of adhesive being used changes.

 2013 Nordson Corporation Part 1121788_02


26 Fulfill Retrofit Kit − ProBlue 4/7/10 Melters

Baseline Setting
 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated
information.

Upon setting the probe's height, calibrate the level sensor.

1. Remove the threaded plug on the front face of the level sensor control
box to reveal the adjustment potentiometer.
2. Fill the tank with adhesive and allow it to melt completely.
3. Adjust the liquid level to coincide with the black line on the level probe.
4. If the LED on the control box is amber, turn the adjustment potentiometer
counter‐clockwise until it turns green. If the LED on the control box is
green, turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise until it just turns
amber. The point at which the LED transitions from green to amber is the
switching point.
5. Once the switching point is found, rotate the adjustment potentiometer 1/2
turn clockwise and leave it at that position.

Final Setting
 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated
information.

1. Begin normal operation. Check the adhesive level in the tank after 30
minutes of operation.
2. If the adhesive level is satisfactory, the calibration procedure is complete.
Re‐install the plug over the calibration pot to discourage tampering.
3. If unmelted adhesive is piled up to the top of the tank or the system has
already faulted due to overfilling, rotate the adjustment pot 1/2 turn
clockwise to increase the level sensor's sensitivity. Wait 10 minutes and
check the adhesive level again. If the adhesive level is still too high,
repeat this process until the adhesive level is satisfactory. When
finished, reinstall the plug over the calibration potentiometer.
4. If unmelted adhesive has built up on the probe and the adhesive level in
the tank has dropped below the black line on the probe, rotate the
adjustment potentiometer 1/2 turn counter‐clockwise to decrease the
level sensor's sensitivity. If the adhesive level is still too low, repeat this
process until the adhesive level is satisfactory.

Operation
 NOTE: Refer to Appendix A, Retrofit Refill System With Nordson Level Sensor, for updated
information.

Once enabled, the fill system immediately begins operation. Maintain


adhesive level in the storage bin to maintain automatic operation.

NOTE: During warm‐up, the melter's ready-delay time may need to be


increased for the Fulfill to operate properly. The proper ready-delay time
depends on the tank size and shape, adhesive type, and application
temperature.

Time Settings
See Figure 14. There are three timers found on the PCA board in the control
box:

 Fault - The overfill timer. A fault is generated if the Fulfill unit dispenses
longer than the time allotted. Time range is 5 to 115 seconds.
 Delay - The time duration the Fulfill unit waits to transfer adhesive from
the storage bin to the melter once a signal from the level sensor has been
transmitted to the control box. Time range is 1 to 119 seconds.
 Air - Used only with the optional vibrator kit. The air timer signals the
amount of time the vibrator actuates once the filling process begins.
Time range is 0 to 20 seconds.

Figure 14 PCA timer settings (located inside the control box)

Use a flat head screwdriver to turn the timers clockwise to increase the time
settings, counterclockwise to decrease the timer settings.

Refill PCA Troubleshooting Diagnostic Instructions


Perform the following steps, in order, to either isolate the problem within the
PCA board or to eliminate the PCA board as a cause. These tests should
only be performed by personnel qualified to work on high voltage circuits.

1. Verify input power is reaching the PCA. Measure line voltage across the
input side (side of the fuse closest to the input connectors J1 and J2) of
fuses F1 and F2. The input voltage should be between 100-240 VAC. If
input voltage not present, correct input power.
2. Verify that the 24 VDC power supply on the Refill PCA board is working
by measuring the voltage between XT1 pin ”24V” and XT1 pin ”COM”. It
should be 24 VDC (+/- 5%). If not 24 VDC, verify fuses are not blown. If
fuses have been blown, replace fuses. If fuses blow again, replace Refill
PCA. If fuses OK but 24 VDC not present, replace Refill PCA.
3. Check to make sure the DIP switch settings have not been changed.
SW1 DIP switch settings: M1 should be OFF; M2 should be ON.
4. Make sure the timer potentiometers are set as expected:
 FAULT potentiometer adjustment range: 5 to 115 seconds (60
seconds at 12:00 position),
 DELAY potentiometer adjustment range: 1 to 119 seconds (60
seconds at 12:00 position),
 AIR (optional pre‐vibrator) potentiometer adjustment range: 0 to 20
seconds (10 seconds at 12:00 position).
5. Make sure the Refill PCA is enabled by verifying that the ”ENA” LED
close to the membrane panel connector (X1) is illuminated. If not, press
the ENABLE button on the membrane panel to enable the Refill PCA. If
the ”ENA” LED does not turn on with the membrane panel, the membrane
panel or PCA may be bad. With a piece of wire, briefly touch X1 pin 1 to
X1 pin 2 (the membrane tail will need to be unplugged to perform this
test). If the ”ENA” LED illuminates after this test, replace the membrane
panel. If not, then replace the Refill PCA.
6. To ensure that the level sensor signal is getting to the Refill PCA with the
level sensor calling for adhesive, verify that there is 24 VDC (+/- 5%)
between XT1 pin ”SIG” and XT1 pin ”COM”. If not, repair the level sensor
cable, recalibrate level sensor, or replace level sensor.
7. To ensure that the Refill PCA fill output is working correctly with the level
sensor calling for adhesive and after waiting the DELAY time duration,
verify that 24 VDC (+/-5%) is applied to the fill control output (XT2 pin
”FILL” measured to any ”COM” pin). Verify with the level sensor is NOT
calling for adhesive that the fill control output is 0 to 0.5V.

If the problem has not be isolated to this point, replace the Refill PCA and/or
membrane panel.

Appendix A
RetroFit Refill System with Nordson Level
Sensor

WARNING! Allow only personnel with appropriate training and experience to


operate or service the equipment. The use of untrained or inexperienced
personnel to operate or service the equipment can result in injury, including
death, to themselves and others, and damage to the equipment.

Sensor Features
The Nordson level sensor features include a wide sensing area, simplified
mechanical mounting, push button calibration, RTD temperature
compensation, new diagnostics to help identify sensor problems and a
separate low level output.

Wide Sensing Area


The Nordson level sensor has a wide sensing range that is the nearly equal
to the length of the sensor rod. The fill control point can be adjusted
electronically without the need to mechanically move the sensor.

Simplified Mechanical Mounting


The Nordson level sensor simply drops into the tank with no height
adjustments required.

 2013 Nordson Corporation Part 1121788_02


A-2 RetroFit Refill System with Nordson Level Sensor

Push Button Calibration


The Nordson level sensor uses two push buttons to set levels as opposed to
the previous level sensor’s potentiometer.

Two buttons on the Refill board provide two types of calibration. Information
on calibration can be found later in this section.

The level sensor uses the calibration points to control the level of adhesive in
the tank. The system determines the appropriate fill level based on the
calibration information. When the tank is less than this point, the fill system
turns on. When the tank level is higher than this point, the fill system turns
off.

RTD Temperature Compensation


Most capacitive sensor readings will vary with temperature. To minimize
sensor reading inaccuracies due to temperature effects, the Nordson level
sensor incorporates a RTD to accurately measure the probe temperature and
to compensate for changes in probe temperature.

Sensor Diagnostics
The Nordson level sensor offers several diagnostic functions not present in
the previous Fulfill level sensor. These new diagnostic functions are reported
with LED flash codes. The flash codes are displayed on the membrane
panel.

Low Tank Output


A low level output is generated when the adhesive level gets near the bottom
of the probe. It provides a warning to the user if the tank level becomes
abnormally low. For example, if the fill system is disabled while the pump is
running, the low level output would warn the user that the tank level is low
before the unit runs out of adhesive.

Delay Timer
The delay timer determines how long the Refill board waits when the sensor
calls for adhesive before the vacuum system is activated. The delay timer
potentiometer is adjustable from 1 to 60 seconds.

Overfill Fault Timer


The overfill fault timer determines how long the vacuum system is operated
while trying to fill the unit. If the level sensor is not satisfied before the overfill
fault timer expires, an overfill fault is generated. The overfill fault timer
potentiometer is adjustable from 5 to 300 seconds.

Part 1121788_02  2013 Nordson Corporation


RetroFit Refill System with Nordson Level Sensor A-5

Status Relay Contact Output


A form­C electromechanical relay contact output is available for to monitor
the fill system status. This relay provides a common (COM), normally closed
(NC), and normally open (NO) potential free contact. These contacts are
labeled COM, NC, and NO on the PCB and are located at terminal block
TB3.

If the fill system is working properly (powered, fill enabled, and no alarms
present) the COM contact will be connected to the NC contact and
disconnected from the NO contact. Any other system state will de­energize
the relay and change the output state.

The relay contacts are rated for 30 VDC maximum at 1 Amp maximum.

If a 24 VDC signal is desired instead of a potential free contact, connect 24


VDC to the COM contact and then use the NC and NO contacts. Use the NC
contact for a signal that supplies 24 VDC when the fill system is working
normally and the NO contact for a signal that supplies 24 VDC when a
problem with the fill system exists. See Figure A‐3.

Sensor Calibration
The following sections will describe the various methods available to
calibrate the level sensor. For all calibrations, the button(s) must be held for
5 seconds in order to be recognized. For best results, the unit should be at
application temperature when calibration is performed.

The sensor also detects if the calibration is done out of sequence. For
example, if a full calibration is attempted before an empty calibration was
performed, then the calibration is ignored and the STATUS and LOW LEDs
on the circuit board will turn red for 5 seconds after attempting the calibration
indicating a bad calibration attempt.

The unit can also report the last calibration successfully performed. If the
ENABLE and RESET buttons on the front panel are held simultaneously, the
panel LEDs will illuminate to indicate the last calibration. An illuminated
green Enable LED indicates that a basic (empty level) calibration was
performed and an illuminated blue FILLING LED indicates that a precision
(full level) calibration was performed.

Two levels are stored in non­volatile memory, the calibrated empty point and
the calibrated full point. The level at which the unit fills to is computed based
on the empty and full calibration points

Calibration Summary
The table below summarizes the different types of calibration available. The
different calibrations should be performed in the specific order shown below.
Order to Type Buttons Data Notes
Perform Calibration Used Points

Level) units will require.
2 Precision White Full only The empty calibration point is not changed, only
(optional) Calibration Button the full. Use this calibration (after an empty
(Full Level) (SW2) calibration) to provide more precise level
control than an empty calibration alone

Part 1121788_02  2013 Nordson Corporation


RetroFit Refill System with Nordson Level Sensor A-9

Basic (Empty Level) Calibration

CAUTION! Do not attempt empty calibration with a full melter. Doing so will
result in an overfill condition.

1. Allow tank to reach application temperature.


2. Adhesive level should be at or below the bottom of the probe.
3. Close lid.
4. Press SW3 (blue button) until all LEDs stop changing color
(approximately 5 seconds).

Precision (Full Level) Calibration


1. Allow tank to reach application temperature.
2. Hand fill the adhesive level so that the pellets are at the top of the probe.
3. Close lid.
4. Within 30 seconds, press SW2 (white button) until all LEDs stop
changing color (approximately 5 seconds).

melter chassis for stable operation. This connection is normally made from
the Refill PCA ground tab to the quick connect tab on the Retrofit mounting
bracket, but any terminal on the Refill PCA labeled “COM” can be used to
connect to the melter chassis.
