Gun Solenoid Wiring 
(con
ti
nued) 
Installation  3-13 
WARNING: Burns. Unexpected gun firing can occur during 
!  PC40 installation. 
The 
firing can be a response to trigger 
signals caused by foreign objects blocking the sensors, and 
by intentional and unintentional triggering that can occur 
during maintenance. Nordson recommends that you 
install 
quick-disconnect solenoid leads. Disconnect the leads 
during installation 
to 
disable the solenoid. Users 
may 
want to 
provide an additional measure of safety by disabling the 
trigger. 
4. Use 16-18 gauge 
electrical wire (customer supplied) to make the 
connections shown in Table 3.4. 
See Figure 3.9 for the location of 
terminal block 
P2.

{I) Some patterns require more than eight transitions. Two channel outputs can be connected in parallel to a 
solenoid. Then you can program both channels' transition 
va
lues 
in 
sequence for a total 
of 
16 transitions.

l If all four solenoid grounds are present, they will 
not 
all fit onto P2-3. Connect all the grounds together using a 
connector, wire nut, etc. before connecting to 
P2-3.
