Emergency Shutdown

Your Century C-341 Series Dispensing System features an Emergency Machine Off (EMO) button that

the operator or service technician can use to immediately stop all dispensing operations in case of

emergency. This feature helps prevent injury to personnel and damage to the dispensing system and

workpieces being processed.

The EMO button is located on the Control Panel on the front of the dispensing system (

Figure 2-1). The

EMO vents all pressure in the pneumatic system, de-energizes the Robot motors, and cuts power to all

system components.

TIP If the operator or technician is unable to reach the EMO button, the Main Power

Switch, which is located on the back of the system (see

Figure 2-1), can be used

for emergency shutdown. The power cord can also be removed.
