Emergency Shutdown
Your Century C-718 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 (see Figure 2-1). The
EMO vents all pressure in the pneumatic system, de-energizes the servo power supply capacitors, and cuts
power to all system components except the Computer and Monitor.
TIP If the operator or technician is unable to reach the EMO button, the Main Circuit
Breaker, which is located on the back of the system (see Figure 2-1), can be used
for emergency shutdown, but doing this will also shut down the Computer.

Emergency Shutdown Situations
WARNING! CAUTION!
In an emergency, failure to completely shut down power to the dispensing system
with the EMO can cause serious injury to the user and/or damage to the
dispensing system.
As a minimum, activate the EMO in the following situations:
• If anyone is in immediate danger of being injured by moving parts, hazardous materials, or
electrical shock.
• If valuable dispensing system components or the workpieces are in danger of being damaged.
This can include:
- Physical damage to the dispensing valve or workpiece by unexpected Dispensing
Head movement.
- Electrical damage to the dispensing system.
