Emergency Shutdown
In case of an emergency or malfunction, push E-Stop (see Figure 2-1). E-Stop cuts power to
all system components. Generally, all system components are connected to the E-Stop outlet
except the computer system, monitor, Vision System and Needle Heater.
Emergency Shutdown Situations
All Asymtek dispensing systems are designed to provide the highest level of safety under
normal operating conditions. However, there are conditions under which E-Stop is vital to
preventing operator injury or mechanical damage.
When to press E-Stop:
•
If the operator is in immediate danger of being injured by either moving parts or
electrical shock.
•
If valuable components or parts are in danger of being damaged. This can include:
damage to the valve or fluid pump by unexpected dispense head movement,
damage to boards or parts due to overheating, or damage to the system due to
electrical failure.
To restore power after an Emergency Shutdown:
1. Clear the dispensing area of all boards and parts.
2. Twist the E-Stop button to the right until it pops back into position.
3. Press
SYSTEM RESET
on the Control Panel to bring the system back to a power-
on state.
Press the Main Power Switch
ON t
o turn the Century Series system back on
after you have turned the Main Power Switch
OFF
.
4. Press
FIND HOME
on the Control Panel.
5. Press
Start
on the Control Panel to restart the download program you were running
or from the Fluidmove Menu select
RUN
to restart the dispensing program that was
running when E-Stop occurred.
Failure to shut down total power to the Century Series system in an
emergency with both the E-Stop and the Main Power Switch risks
serious operator injury, including electrocution.
