2. Immediately soak the affected area in clean, cold water until the hot melt
has cooled.
3. Do NOT attempt to remove the solidified hot melt from your skin.
4. In case of severe burns, treat for shock.
5. Seek expert medical attention immediately. Give the SDS for the hot melt
to the medical personnel providing treatment.
Section 2
Introduction
Intended Use
AltaBlue™ adhesive melters may be used only to melt and convey suitable
materials, e.g. thermoplastic hot melt adhesives.
Any other use is considered to be unintended. Nordson will not be liable for
personal injury or property damage resulting from unintended use.
S In defective condition
S Without insulation blanket and protective panels
S With electrical cabinet door open
S With tank lid open
S In a potentially explosive atmosphere
S When the values stated under Technical Data are not complied with.
The melter may not be used to process the following materials:
Residual Risks
In the design of the unit, every measure was taken to protect personnel from
potential danger. However, some residual risks can not be avoided:
Key Components
Figure 2‐1 provides the name and the location of key melter components.
Electrical Components
Modes of Operation
AltaBlue melters operate in the following modes.
Standby
All internal and external zones are reduced, by the default 50°C (90°F) down
from their setpoint temperature.
Fault
The melter alerts the operator when an abnormal event occurs.
Gear‐to‐Line Capability
The melter is capable of delivering an adhesive output that is geared to the
production line speed. A line‐speed signal generator must be installed if you
want to use the gear‐to‐line capability.
Melter Identification
You will need the model and part number of your melter when requesting
service or ordering spare parts and optional equipment. The model and part
number are indicated on the equipment identification plate that is located on
the front of the melter and a backup on the bottom of cabinet.
Section 3
Hardware Installation and Setup
Overview
AltaBlue melters are factory‐configured for each order and require only the
assembly and set up tasks described in this section.
The melter is shipped from the factory with an installation kit that contains
components that must be assembled onto the melter by the customer. Some
additional materials must also be supplied by the customer to complete the
installation.
If optional equipment was ordered with the melter, refer to the documentation
provided with the optional equipment for installation and operating
instructions.
Additional Information
This section presents installation procedures in their most commonly used
form. Procedural variations or special considerations are explained in the
additional information table that follows most procedures. Where applicable,
some table entries also contain cross‐reference information. Additional
information tables are indicated by the symbol shown to the left.
Installation Tasks
The installation sequence is as follows:
Installation Requirements
Before installing the melter, ensure that the desired installation location
provides the required clearances, environmental conditions, and utilities.
Clearances
Figures 3‐1 through 3‐3 illustrate the minimum clearances that are required
between the melter and surrounding objects.
Clearances (contd)
Ventilation
AltaBlue melters are cooled by forced air. Air is drawn in through by the
ventilation fan and is exhausted out of the ventilation slots at the top of the
melter.
CAUTION! Do not block the fan air intake openings or the exhaust ventilation
slots.
Electrical Power
Before installing the melter, ensure that the melter will not be overloaded and
that the plant's electrical service is rated to handle the power required by the
melter and the hoses and applicators that you plan to use.

Figure 3-7 Location of service wiring strain relief and terminal block
To connect hoses
See Figures 3‐9 through 3‐12 to properly connect the hose hydraulic fittings
based on the manifold configuration. If hoses are not connected properly, the
melter will not operate correctly.
If applicable, connect a return hose (see Figure 3‐8). To do this, remove the
O‐ring fitting from the return hose port and install the hose connector fitting
from the ship‐with kit. The return hose port is located on the rear of the melter
at the top of the hopper.
S For information about choosing the correct Nordson hot melt hose for
your manufacturing process, refer to the latest edition of Nordson's hot
melt dispensing equipment Replacement Parts Catalog or contact your
Nordson representative.
S Refer to the user's guide provided with each Nordson hose. The guide
contains important information about routing and installing the hose.
S Save all of the port plugs removed from the manifold. A port plug will
need to be reinstalled into the manifold if a hose is later removed.
Figure 3-9 Connecting hoses—one/two-pump melter manifold with one single-stream (1 SS) pump
Figure 3-10 Connecting hoses—one/two-pump melter manifold with two single-stream (2 SS) pumps
To connect applicators
Observe the following guidelines:
S AltaBlue melters with 120‐ohm nickel sensors support all Nordson T‐style
applicators. AltaBlue melters with 100‐ohm platinum sensors support all
Nordson M‐style applicators.
S For information about choosing the most appropriate Nordson hot melt
applicator for your manufacturing process, refer to the latest edition of
Nordson's hot melt dispensing equipment Replacement Parts Catalog or
contact your Nordson representative. Refer to Appendix A, Calculating
Melter Power Requirements, for information about how to calculate the
power required by Nordson hot melt applicators.
S Refer to the user's guide that is shipped with each applicator for
information about installing the applicator and connecting a hose to the
applicator.
NOTE: AltaBlue melters are shipped with a 0.2 mm hot melt filter installed in
the manifold. Order the appropriate applicator nozzle based on this filter
mesh size.
Setting Up Inputs/Outputs
AltaBlue melters are equipped with four standard inputs. Each input is
customer‐wired to the melter and then set up to provide one of the following
control options:
WARNING! The operator can override the melter inputs by using the touch
screen buttons. Ensure that the control logic for any external device that
sends an input signal to the melter is programmed to prevent the creation of
an unsafe condition in the event that the operator overrides an external input
to the melter.
NOTE: Use a signal cable suitable for NEC class1 remote control and
signaling circuits. To reduce the possibility of electrical shorting, route the
cable so that it does not touch nearby circuit boards.
2. Connect each pair of input and output wires to the appropriate terminals
on I/O connector. Refer to table below for the terminal numbers that
correspond to each input.
Figure 3-14 Location of the quick connector (-17X21) for connecting input/output wiring
To set up inputs/outputs
Set up the parameter control option for each input and output that you
connected to the melter. Table 3‐2 lists the available control options.
Wiring
To use the motor run status monitoring capability, connect wiring from the
parent machine to the appropriate terminals on I/O connectors on right panel
of the electrical enclosure. See Figure 3-14 for the location of I/O connectors.
Refer to Table 3-2 for the terminal numbers that correspond to each
input/output
Programming
Use the keypad located on each pump drive inside the electrical enclosure to
set up the pump run status monitoring.
Disposing of Melter
When your Nordson product has reached the end of its useful life, dispose of
it in accordance with local regulations.
Section 4
About the Touch Screen Display and
User Interface
Overview
The touch screen display replaces the membrane control panel used on
previous Nordson melters. With a touch of your finger on the display screen,
you can navigate the graphical user interface to setup, operate and maintain
this melter.
The melter is shipped from the factory with most software settings
preconfigured and ready to use. However, there are some settings that you
must configure and finetune to best fit your manufacturing process.

Set up:
Available line pressure (approx. 6 bar) is being put on the pressure regulator
and into the solenoid input. The outlet pressure of the regulator is adjusted
according to the desired recirculation flow setting. The pressure gauge is
installed after the pump into the stream that goes to the hose connector
fitting. The actuation signal for the solenoid is being supplied externally via
connector and in accordance to the trigger signal of the applicator.
Function:
When the applicator is open the system is run in volumetric mode, which
means that no material does circulate through the pneumatic pressure
control valve. In this mode the flow is determined by the motor rpm setting,
respectively the key to line signal. To achieve this a trigger signal (e.g. the
trigger signal for the applicator) is send to the solenoid for the pneumatic
pressure control valve, which does close with maximum air pressure (e.g.
available line pressure of 6 bar). In cases of overpressure the safety pressure
valve would operate. When the applicator is closed, a trigger signal (e.g. the
trigger signal for the applicator) does operate the solenoid for the bypass
valve. This allows the regulated (reduced) air flow to open the pneumatic
pressure control valve and to adjust recirculation pressure according to the
air pressure setting. The major goal is to reduce/ eliminate the burn-through
(hammerhead) effect by adjusting the pressure during applicator closed. The
applicator or nozzle pressure in this mode is usually the same as during
applicator open.

Calculating Melter Power Requirements
(Including Heater Specifications)
Before locating the melter on the production floor or attaching hoses and
applicators to the melter, you must calculate the electrical power required by
the hoses and applicators and confirm that the required power does not
exceed maximum allowable wattages. Properly calculating melter power
requirements will prevent damage to the melter and identify the maximum
allowable distance between the melter and the point at which the hot melt is
dispensed.
S add a new hose or applicator to the melter that was not factored into
the original wattage evaluation
S replace an existing hose with a longer hose or an existing applicator
with a larger applicator
