CAUTION! SP and P1 solenoids run at a maximum 24 VDC. If voltage exceeds 24

VDC, premature failure will occur.

SD Solenoid SP SolenoidP1 Solenoid

Figure 5: MiniBlue II Solenoid Valves

Table 3 Types of Module Air Actuation

Type of Actuation Description

Independent One solenoid valve directly actuates one module. (SP, SD, P1)

NOTE: SD is not available on retrofit applicators

Common One solenoid valve actuates all modules.

NOTE: SP multi‐module valves are the only option formulti‐module CA applicators configurations.

Programmed Two solenoid valves actuate two groups (left and right) ofmodules.

NOTE: An SP multi‐module valve is the only option formulti‐module PA applicators.

NOTE: Module performance will be sacrificed proportionately as more modules arecontrolled by a single solenoid valve (common or programmed actuation).

NOTE: SP valves are standard for single‐module applications. SD valves are used inapplications with limited mounting space.

NOTE: Solenoid response drift comparison:P1: <1.0 msSP Single: <2.5 msSD: <5.0 msSP Multi: <5.0 ms



Dispensing Module

Ball‐and‐seat modules are used in combination with Saturn nozzles, allowing easierchange‐out of nozzle sizes and eliminating the need to stock multiple reduced‐cavitymodules with different orifice sizes. Needle-and-seat modules are used in combination withSureBead nozzles. SureBead nozzles perform similar to reduced cavity and zero cavitynozzles. Because of improved design efficiency, adhesive bead volume may vary slightlyfrom equivalent Blue Series RC and ZC modules. Adjust the adhesive pressure tocompensate.

A MiniBlue II applicator may have 1-8 modules. Air is supplied constantly to a modulethrough a solenoid valve. When the applicator is not being triggered, air will flow through themodule's air‐close port to keep the module needle on its seat. When triggered, the solenoidvalve will direct air into the air‐open port, lifting the needle from its seat to dispense theadhesive.

EasyOn™ Feature

See Figure 6. All MiniBlue II applicators use the EasyOn feature. The EasyOn feature on themodule mates with the EasyOn feature on the applicator body. The EasyOn feature allowsthe module to be installed onto the applicator body, regardless of the orientation of theapplicator body.

Figure 6: EasyOn design



Hose Connector/Filter

Table 4 shows the filter options based on the style of applicator you have.

See Figure 7. All MiniBlue II applicators have a straight, 45‐degree, or 90‐degree hoseconnector and either an integrated or an inline Saturn filter. Saturn filters are available in 50,100 or 200 mesh screens to meet your requirements.

Replacing a Module1. Relieve system pressure, and then purge the applicator and hose. Refer to the melter and

applicator product manuals for additional information.

2. Disable the applicator driver.

3. Remove the M4 X 25 module retaining screws, and then remove the module.

4. Using a non−abrasive cloth, remove adhesive residue from the face of the applicatorbody.CAUTION: Risk of Burns! Applicator body may be hot! Use caution when cleaning it.

5. Insert the two O−rings for each pneumatic port, and the one O−ring for the adhesive port.

6. Apply an anti−seize compound (Nordson Corporation PN 900344) to the moduleretaining screws, and then install the new module. Tighten the screws to 1.7−2.2 Nm(15−20 in.−lb).



Replacing a Heater or RTD

RTDs are hardwired through the applicator cordset. If an RTD fails, Nordson recommendsthat the entire applicator cordset be replaced. Heaters are terminated inside the manifoldand can be replaced individually without replacing the entire cordset.

The following procedure describes the replacement of an RTD by replacing the entirecordset. Instructions for replacing a heater are also included.

De‐energize the system and disable the applicator. Refer to Safety.

Unplug the applicator cordset from the hose.

(Optional) Relieve system hydraulic pressure. Refer to Safety.

(Optional) Using two wrenches, disconnect the hose from the applicator.

NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 are not necessary if the applicator is easily accessible and canbe serviced without the need to disconnect the hose.

See Figure 17 or 18 as applicable.

1. Remove the applicator cover to access the RTD or heater and remove it from from theapplicator body.

2. Disconnect the cordset leads from the terminal block. If the heater is being replaced,disconnect the heater leads from terminal block.

3. Do one of the following:

To Replace the RTD

a. Disconnect the ground lead from the manifold and remove the cordset.

b. Install a new cordset and insert the RTD in the manifold.

c. Reconnect the ground lead to the manifold.

To Replace the Heater

a. If necessary, trim the leads of the new heater to match the leads of the old heater.

b. Crimp eyelets (P/N 972862) onto the end of the heater.

c. Insert the heater into the manifold.

d. Insert the heater leads in the terminal block and tighten the terminal block screws.

e. Insert the cordset heater leads in the terminal block and tighten the terminal blockscrews.

4. Reinstall the applicator cover. Refer to Replacing the Plastic Heater Cover (SlimLine

Applicators Only) as needed.

5. If the hose was removed earlier, use two wrenches to connect the hose to the applicator.

6. Plug the applicator cordset into the hose.
