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 FmNT and saved on the computer hard drive. For more information on creating and
running dispensing programs, see the Fluidmove
®
for Windows NT Installation & 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.
> The workcell turns on after approximately a 60-second vent air time delay. Verify
that the red Vent Air LED on the membrane panel is blinking.
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 FmNT are open, close them.
10. Locate the FmNT icon on the Windows Desktop.
11. Double-click on the FmNT icon to start FmNT.

This takes about 1 minute.
