5.4. THERMOCOUPLE READINGS
Up to 8 thermocouple readings can be measured and dis-
played from the 8 thermocouple leads at the front of the SG1.
(SEE FIGURES 24, 25A & 25B)
NOTE: If a thermocouple is not connected; the reading
shown is that of the internal SG1 unit temperature.

6. Preparation
3. Connect the Blue Power Connector of the Sup-
ply Cable to the Power Main Input Receptacle on the
rear panel of the SG1. (See FIGURES 26A & 26B)
4. Lift the Platen Receptacle Covers on the rear panel of the
SG1 and connect the platen cables. (SEE FIGURE 27A &
27B) Press the plugs firmly into the receptacles and close the
latches to secure the plugs. When the cables are removed,
close the covers to protect the connector from contaminates
such as water or dirt.
5. Connect the pump or compressor if required. The connec
-
tors are keyed so that only an Almex pump with the correct
voltage can be connected. (SEE FIGURE 28A & 28B)
6. Connect the SG1 control cable to the power supply. Refer
to the electrical specifications indicated on the serial plate
and in the record of purchase. The SG1 will power on au
-
tomatically when connected to the power supply. To power
down (turn off) the SG1 control, simply disconnect it from
the power supply. (SEE FIGURES 26A & 26B)

6.1. UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the Switchgear control from the box and
inspect for damage. Any damage or shortage should be re
-
ported to the carrier and/or Shaw Almex Industries Limited
immediately.
6.2. CONNECTION ASSEMBLY
Safety: Ensure the voltage, phase and cycle on the
Switchgear control is the same as the power supply.
See serial number on rear panel of the SG1.
Safety: Never heat the vulcanizer unattended. Read
all safety information before turning on the SG1.
Safety: Do not turn power on until the SG1 and all
associated components are properly connected.
1. Ensure that the Auxiliary, Platen Set 1 and Platen Set 2 switch
-
es are in the OFF position.
2. Have a certified electrician install a suitable eletrical connec
-
tor to the non-terminated end of the power supply cable.
(SEE FIGURE 12) NOTE: For information on the voltage,
amperage and phase, refer to the electrical specifications,
located on the rear panel of the SG1.
