Section 5 - Installation
5.1 Introduction
WARNING
Ensure that you have fully read “Section 3 - Safety” before connecting or
operating the controller.
It is the responsibility of the integrator to understand and follow international
and local standards for safety of machinery when integrating the controller
with the molding system.
The E-Multi controller should be located in such a way that the main
disconnect is easily accessible in case of emergency.
The E-Multi controller is shipped with a power cable which is a correct size
to run the system. When you install a connector on the cable, ensure that
the connector can safely withstand the full system load.
The E-Multi controller supply should have a fused disconnect or main circuit
breaker according to local safety codes. Refer to the serial plate on the
controller cabinet for conrmation of the supply requirements. If the local
supply is outside the specied range, please contact Mold-Masters for
advice.
WARNING
-
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
It is crucial to comply with these warnings to minimize any personal danger.
• Ensure that all energies are properly locked out in the controller and
molding machine before installation of the controller into the system.
• DO NOT enter the cabinet without rst ISOLATING the supplies OR
having a qualied person selecting the BYPASS SWITCH to ON, to gain
live access to the controller. There are unguarded terminals inside the
cabinet which may have a dangerous potential across them. Where a
three-phase supply is used, this potential may be up to 600VAC.
• With the BYPASS SWITCH set to OFF opening the high power section
of the controller will cause the circuit breaker to TRIP, disconnecting all
power to the cabinet.
• Voltage and amperage cables are connected to the controller and the
mold. There is also a voltage cable connection between the servo motor
and the controller. Electric power must be shut o󰀨 and lockout / tagout
procedures followed prior to installing or removing any cables.
• Integration should be done by properly trained personnel based on local
codes and regulations. Electrical products may not be grounded when
removed from the assembled or normal operating condition.
• Do not mix electrical power cables with thermocouple extension
cables. They are not designed to carry the power load or list accurate
temperature readings in each other’s application.
WARNING
-
TRIP HAZARD
The integrator should ensure that the controller cables do not present a trip
hazard on the oor between the controller and press or the E-Multi.
