Table 8-1 Mold Diagnostics Screen Field and Button Descriptions
Field/Button Description
Validate Zone After The number of degrees that a zone must heat above its starting
temperature to pass a test.
Zone Cooling Time The amount of time to wait after completing a previous test before
starting the next test.
Maximum Test Time The maximum test duration.
Heaters Select the Test Heaters check box to test whether the selected zones are
drawing current. A heater test will test the following:
• During heating, will record the maximum current and voltage, and
will calculate the resistance.
• Test for any blown fuses.
Sensors Select the Test Sensors check box to test whether the selected zone’s
thermocouple sensor is functioning properly. A sensor test will test the
following:
• Test sensor operation. For example, if a thermocouple is lost or
reversed.
Wiring Select the Test Wiring check box to test whether, for the selected zones,
thermocouple and heater pairings are correct (1 to 1 and 2 to 2, etc.). A
wiring test will test the following:
• Before conducting the cross talk test, Altanium will wait for the
temperature to be below the threshold for the cross talk test.
• During heating, will record the maximum current and voltage, and
will calculate the resistance.
• Test for the effectiveness of cross talk.
Run Test Touch the Run Test button to start the selected tests. Only the selected
zones will be tested.
Stop Test Touch the Stop Test button to stop the test. A test that has been
completed will be persisted to the database. The test results can be
reviewed at a later time.
View Test Results Touch the View Test Results button to open the Test Results screen.
This can be done anytime during the test after the first zone has been
tested, or after the test is completed.
Test Status The current status of the test. During the test, it will display the zone that
is being tested.
Start Time The time that the test was started.
