Saving Test Data for Future Reference 59
User Guide v 1.4 — September 2015 Mold Diagnostics
8.2.2 Saving Test Data for Future Reference
The test results of a mold can be saved to compare them to another test at a later date. To do
this they are saved to the internal memory of the Neo2.
NOTE:Each mold setup can store its own set of saved Test data.
To save the test data to the internal memory:
• Touch SAVE following the completion of the Test. The values for all zones will be
transferred to the LAST column.
8.2.3 Automatic Thermocouple Rewiring
Often thermocouples can be inadvertently cross-wired in the mold, where the thermocouple
for one heater ends up connected with another heater, and vice versa.
The Neo2 Test checks the thermocouple/heater wiring and determines if it is correct or not.
When the Test is complete it will provide the operator with a possible re-wiring solution and
ask for confirmation. The operator may choose to ignore or accept its findings. If the Test
program finds a mis-wired zone, it will ask the operator if they want the controller to re-wire
the thermocouples to where it thinks they belong. If the Test determines that a
thermocouple is wired to the wrong heater, the Neo2 will display the information under the
WIRE column.
For example, if the thermocouple for heater number 5 was wired to heater number 1 and vice
versa, the Neo2 would display a 5 on zone 1 and a 1 on zone 5 under the WIRE column.
If the operator does not have time to physically re-wire the mold:
1. Touch and hold REWIRE.
2. Acknowledge the confirmation dialog box and the Neo2 will automatically reassign the
thermocouples to the correct location.
8.2.4 Viewing Amps, Volts, Watts and Ohms Data
During the Diagnostics Test, the Neo2 measures the amperage for each heater and displays
the value under the AMPS column. It also measures Volts, calculates Watts and Ohms for each
heater in the mold.
To view the Amps, Volts, Watts or Ohms data:
1. Touch VOLTS and Volts readings appear in the table.
2. Touch WATTS and the Watts readings appear in the table.
3. Touch OHMS and the Ohms readings appear in the table.
4. Touch AMPS and the Amps reading appears in the table.
Not all factories are equipped with the same supply voltage (240VAC) but most heater
wattage specs are based on 240 volts. If the operator wants to know what the wattage of the
heater would be based on 240VAC, the data displayed in the WATTS column is an accurate
representation of the actual wattage of the heater based on its supply voltage.
