1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Congratulations on your choice of the Century C-740/C-741 Series Dispensing System! This manual is
intended primarily as a reference for production operators, process engineers, and service technicians.
However, others unfamiliar with Asymtek products may also find this manual useful as a general
introduction to the system.
The Century C-740/C-741 Series Dispensing Systems are designed to meet the diverse needs of the
conformal coating market. The C-740/C-741 systems provide consistent, uniform dispensing of a variety
of conformal coating materials for both conveyorized (C-740) and batch (C-741) coating applications.
Patented dispensing technology replaces traditional dip, brush, handgun, and aerosol spray systems with
field-proven, repeatable delivery of solvent-based and 100-percent solids materials. The system virtually
eliminates the requirement for labor-intensive board masking, providing accurately controlled patterns,
film builds, and production flexibility in an automated process. Film thickness is achieved in a single pass
with little or no masking and with virtually no overspray.

1.2 Safety First
Operation of your C-740/C-741 Dispensing System involves heat, air pressure, pneumatic devices,
electrical power, mechanical devices, and the use of hazardous materials. Read this manual in its entirety
before attempting any system or component operation. It is essential for all personnel working on or
around the dispensing system to fully understand the hazards, risks, and safety precautions associated
with operating the dispensing system. When properly operated and maintained, the dispensing system
should be safe and reliable. Refer to Section 2 - Safety for additional information.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all fluids used with the
dispensing system. The MSDS provides material usage instructions, disposal
instructions, and safety precautions.
