v 2.3 — September 2015 Altanium Delta3
90 Automatic Thermocouple Rewiring
8.2.2 Automatic Thermocouple Rewiring
Thermocouples can be inadvertently cross-wired in the mold, where the thermocouple for
one heater becomes connected with another heater, and vice versa.
The Altanium wiring test checks the thermocouple/heater wiring and determines whether
the wiring is correct. When the test is complete and if an error was found, the zone with the
error will have an x displayed in the wiring column. Also, the Re-Wire button on the Test
Results screen will be enabled.
To automatically rewire thermocouples, do the following:
1. On the Diagnostics Results screen, touch the Re-Wire button to automatically reassign
the mold thermocouples to their correct zones.
NOTE:This information is saved with the current mold setup.
Wiring The wiring test tests for correct zone sensor assignment. This test
determines whether sensor assignments match. If a sensor assignment
does not match, the cross-talk findings test will fail.
Wiring values are displayed as follows:
• Check mark: indicates the zone passed the wiring test.
• X: indicates the zone failed the wiring test.
Iso. This test calculates cross-talk data that is used to describe how well a
zone is isolated from adjacent zones. When heating one zone, adjacent
zone temperatures should not increase.
Iso. values are displayed as follows:
• 1 = Excellent isolation
• 2 = Good isolation
• 3 = Moderate isolation
• 4 = Fair isolation
• 5 = Poor isolation
E/L The earth leakage test tests for a earth leakage in each zone. Earth
leakage values are displayed as follows:
• Question Mark: indicates the earth leakage for the zone was not
tested.
• Check Mark: indicates there is no earth leakage for that zone.
• X: indicates there is a earth leakage for that zone.
B/O The bake out test tests for moisture in each heater. Bake out values are
displayed as follows:
• Question Mark: indicates the bake out for that zone was not tested.
• Check Mark: indicates the zone passed the bake out test.
• X: indicates the zone failed the bake out test.
Time Time taken to test each zone.
