Instruction Sheet P/N 104 471B
Replacing a Gun Thermostat WARNING: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation.
1. Introduction
Thermostats are used to control the temperature of some Nordson applicators, hoses, and guns. This instruction sheet provides the procedure for replacing the thermostat in Nordson thermostat-controlled guns.
2. Replacing a Gun Thermostat
Use this procedure for thermostat-controlled guns only. The thermostat is usually mounted with two screws on the manifold body. WARNING: Hot! Risk of burns! Hot applicator parts, splashed hot melt material, and hot gun surfaces can cause severe burns. Wear long-sleeved, heat-protective clothing, safety goggles, and heat-protective gloves. Hot melt material may be released forcefully.
WARNING: Risk of burns. System or material pressurized. Air trapped in hoses and guns can spit out molten adhesive that can cause severe burns. Failure to relieve hydraulic pressure can result in serious burns. Relieve hydraulic pressure when instructed to do so.
WARNING: Even when switched off, Nordson applicators, hoses, and guns contain electrical potentials that can cause death. Disconnect and lock out line voltage to the applicator when instructed to do so.

3. Disconnect the gun electrically from the hose. 4. Use two wrenches to disconnect the hose from the gun. Place one wrench on the gun fitting and one on the hose fitting. 5. Remove the manifold body cover screws, then move the cover away from the manifold body. 6. Make a note of the wire connections for reference when installing the new thermostat. CAUTION: Be sure to connect the gun wiring correctly. Connecting the wiring incorrectly can cause equipment damage or system failure. 4201046

Type of wire connector
Procedure
Wire nuts
1. Twist the exposed wires together and secure them with wire nuts. 2. Make sure the new wire connections match the previous wire connections exactly (see Figure 3).
Terminal blocks and eyelets
1. Strip about 4.75 mm (3/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be connected. 2. Insert each wire into an eyelet (one wire per eyelet). 3. Insert the eyelets into terminal blocks. 4. Make sure the new wire connections match the previous wire connections exactly (see Figure 3). 5. Secure and crimp the eyelets by tightening the terminal block screws. Torque to approximately 70 in-oz.
NOTE: It does not matter which new thermostat wire is connected to which heater or cordset wire because the thermostat is not polarity-sensitive.

8. If desired, install the thermostat cover. The cover protects the thermostat from short circuiting. CAUTION: When reinstalling the manifold body cover, do not pinch the wires between the cover and the manifold body. Pinched wires can cause the gun to fail. 9. Replace the manifold body cover and secure it with the cover screws. 10. Use two wrenches to reconnect the gun to the hose. Place one wrench on the gun fitting and the other on the hose fitting. 11. Reconnect the gun electrically to the hose. 12. Restore the system to normal operation by following the instructions in the applicator manual.
