Instruction Manual

5-2 Startup/Shutdown
Production Startup
The following procedure describes how an operator runs a dispensing program with a clean
fluid pump and/or a new syringe. The procedure assumes that the pump and syringe have
been installed on the dispensing head, and that a dispensing program has been created (using
either FMW or CADImport) and saved on the computer hard drive. For more information on
creating and running dispensing programs, see the Fluidmove for Windows Installation and
User Guide and the CADImport for Windows Installation and User Guide.
To start up after a production shutdown:
1. Verify power cord is connected to the dispensing system power manager.
2. Verify EMO button is released.
3. Verify doors and access covers are closed.
4. Verify Safety Interlock System key is in the ON (I) position for production.
5. Turn ON (I) the Main Power Circuit Breaker at the rear of the Century Series system.
6. Press the Start (I) Button on the Control Panel.
7. Turn ON (I) the computer and monitor.
" After a few moments, the Windows Desktop should appear.
8. Turn ON (I) the temperature controller (if needed, HT-1000/HT-2000 and HT-1200-
RTD only).
9. If any programs other than FMW are open, close them.
10. Locate the FMW icon on the Windows Desktop.
11. Double-click on the FMW icon to start FMW.

sure that no hardware changes have occurred since your last
programming session, skip Steps 12-16 and continue with Step 17.
