Introduction
The DP2600 is an automatic solder paste dispenser featuring a precise XYZ movement table driven by stepper motors, allowing for additional tool attachments.

Notes and Warnings

• Ensure the machine is powered on before software initiation.
• Software units are in stepper motor steps, not physical measurements.
• Keep the platform clear to avoid needle obstruction.
• Avoid placing fingers under the dispensing needle.
• Use the emergency button or power off in case of malfunction.
• The machine is inoperable if the emergency button is engaged.
• Retain the shipping crate for warranty returns.

Setup Instructions

1. Position the dispenser machine, controller box, and QK982B dispenser controller on a stable surface.
2. Connect the RS232 cable from the computer to the machine controller.
3. Attach stepper motor and emergency stop cables to the machine controller.
4. Connect the relay cable to the FOOTSWITCH connector on the QK982B dispenser controller.
5. Attach the air hose from a compressor to the AIR IN connector on the QK982B.

Software Installation and Interface

• Install the software on a dedicated Windows XP computer.
• Disable auto-backup or updates during operation.
• Install by copying DP2600.exe and DeskWinAPI.dll to the desired folder and create a shortcut.

Operations

1. Power on the machine and start the DP2600 program.
2. Familiarize with the software before mounting the solder paste syringe.
3. Load a PCB file to display the design and adjust the view.
4. Generate a dispensing list directly on the PCB design.
5. Mount the syringe when the Z direction is down.
6. Adjust the offset to align the needle with PCB positions.

Paste Dispenser Options

• Settings include air pressure, syringe pressure, vacuum settings, dispensing speed, needle size, and solder paste grade.
• Experimentation is needed for optimal settings.
• Store the paste syringe in a refrigerator when not in use.

Needle Height Adjustment

• The distance from the needle tip to the circuit board should match the needle's inner diameter.

Dispensing Options

• Dispense a single item using the Dispense Item button.
• Dispense selected sequential items using the Interactive Disp button.
• Dispense a complete list using the Run Dispensing button.

New System Note

• If not using a PCB file, manually position the needle and set it as X1, Y1.

Specifications and Procedures

1. Manually adjust the needle to center it on the item to be dispensed and set the position as X2, Y2.
2. Calculate offsets: X-offset = X2-X1; Y-offset = Y2-Y1.
3. To add a new item, manually move the needle to center it on the item. For a dot, set Start X, Stop X as X, and Start Y, Stop Y as Y, using calculated offsets. For a line, determine Start X, Stop X, Start Y, and Stop Y, applying the same offsets.

Troubleshooting

• If the machine does not move, check the RS232 cable, power supply, and stepper motor cables. Ensure the emergency button is up.
• For home positioning issues, verify X, Y, and Z home switches.
• If no paste is dispensed, check for clogs, try a larger needle, or adjust air pressure.
