There are five password levels:

Password Levels Level 0: Protected
When the unit is set to Level 0, only basic pattern settings can be entered
or changed. Level 0 provides the ultimate safety settings to prevent
unauthorized and/or accidental changes. This level can be set as the
“Default” level by someone with a Level 2 (Supervisor) password.
Level 1: Operator (No password required)
This is the “Default” level of operation when the unit is first turned on (unless
the “Default” setting has been changed to Level 0 by a Supervisor). Level 1
allows Operators to set patterns, pressures, load jobs, and enter basic
parameters necessary to run jobs.
Level 2: Supervisor (Default Password = 1234)
This is the highest user password level. At this level, the “Default” password
level can be set, individual valve settings can be viewed and changed, jobs
can be saved (as well as loaded), and the memory can be backed up. The
Level 2 password can be changed (this is explained under the heading
“Level 2 Password Options”).
Level 3: Service
This password level is reserved for Authorized Service Personnel.
Level 4: Programmer
This password level is reserved for Factory Programmers.

Level 2 Password A Level 2 Supervisor has the ability to place the unit into the Protected Level
Options Mode (Level 0) and to change the Level 2 password.
The Protected Level Mode (Level 0) increases security by changing the
Default Level of the unit from Level 1 to Level 0. This means that when the
Protected Level Mode unit is turned on, it will automatically be in Level 0 instead of Level 1 (until
the supervisor changes the Default Mode to Level 1). Only someone with the
Level 2 password can change the Default Level of the unit.
To change the Default Level of the unit, do the following:

Speed/Pressure Graphs -
Examples

The graph above illustrates two, three, and four points on the pressure curve
with Jog Mode off and on. The majority of projects will be fine with the Jog
Mode off and only two points on the pressure curve. If more control is
necessary, try adjusting the number of points on the pressure curve. Also
see the tips below.

The four pressures/speeds are dependent upon each other. For example,
Helpful Hints about
the first speed setting can never be greater than the second speed setting,
Pressures and the second speed setting can never be greater than the third, and so on.
Also, the second speed setting can never be less than the first speed
setting, the third speed setting can never be less than the second speed
setting, and so on. Therefore, if you cannot set speeds to where you want
them (the Plus/Minus Arrow Buttons will not increase or decrease the
setting), check all four of the settings. Use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow
Buttons to move through all pressures/speeds and check them. Reset them
as necessary using the Plus/Minus Arrow Buttons. You can also go back to
factory defaults by pressing the Erase Button until the setting will no longer
change.

 SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE

This section contains maintenance procedures for the Valco MCP-4 Control.
A regular maintenance program helps ensure longer life and efficient
operation of your system. A few minutes spent on maintenance greatly
reduces downtime.

Purging the The system should be purged of air at every startup or shift change. To
purge the system, follow these steps:
Adhesive 1. Install the applicator head onto the contact glue valve.

2. Purge adhesive until no air is present and the glue flows evenly.

The glue valves can be purged

manually using an activator located on
the valve itself, by a solenoid-operated
air valve, or they can be purged using
the toouchscreen panel and control.

When using any valve in the top-down

position for the first time, it might be
necessary to remove the valve and
hold it so that the applicator head is at
the top. The fluid pressure should then
be set to 4 bar, and the solenoid should
be fired until all the air is out and a flow
of glue is present.

Performing The type of downtime maintenance that is necessary for the MCP-4 Control
Downtime Unit depends on the length of time the unit is down.
During short periods of downtime, such as order changeover, follow these
Maintenance steps:

1. Apply lithium grease or petroleum jelly to the orifice of the

applicator head (contact extrusion valve) to prevent dried
adhesive from clogging the valve.

2. Wipe the valve clean before restarting production.

For longer periods of downtime, follow these steps:

1. Remove the applicator head from the contact glue valve.

2. Install a stopper onto the contact glue valve in place of the

applicator head.

3. Flush the applicator head with clean water.

Valco Cincinnati, Inc. 6-1

Section 6 - Maintenance MC075 - MCP-4 Control Unit

Performing Downtime Maintenance If the system is idle for 30 days or longer, follow these steps:
- Continued
1. Flush the entire glue supply system (including the pump or tank)
with clean water (see Flushing the Glue System in this section).

To flush the glue system, follow these steps:

Flushing the Follow the procedures for your system.
Glue System These are general guidelines only.

1. Turn on the tank and any hoses or valves that are to be cleaned.

2. Pump out the old hot-melt adhesive, and then fill the tank with
hot-melt purge. Allow it to heat to at least 350 degrees F.

If you use a glue that operates at 250

degrees F, the tank only needs to be
heated to the standard operating
temperature.

3. Once the tank is molten, turn on the pump and engage the
valves.

4. Flow the old adhesive and purge through the valves until only
purge is extruding from the valves. When you reach this point,
turn the system power OFF and remove air from the pump.

5. Next, remove the lid cover screws on the surface of the melt
unit. This allows you to remove the pump and heating grid from
the tank itself.

6. Once the screws are removed, use gloves to lift the lid and
pump assembly out of the molten tank.

7. Place the lid and pump assembly in a vertical position on a

clean, solid, flat surface and allow the excessive adhesive to
slowly drip off of the fins.

8. Take the pot, lifting from the edges, and pour the molten
material into a sealed corrugated box.

9. Use a clean rag to wipe the tank clean thoroughly and dispose
of the rag. Now, you can re-insert the lid and pump assembly
into the pot and tighten the lid cover screws. This completes the
“clean and flush” process.

MC075 - MCP-4 Control Unit Section 6 - Maintenance

To lubricate the system, follow these steps:

Lubricating 1. Use lithium grease on all machined threads and fittings when
the System servicing the system.

2. Grease quick-disconnect fittings frequently to prevent dried glue

from causing excessive wear.
