Function Description Setting Limits
Alarms Active Offers a selection table which allows
you to decide how any of the following
alarm conditions should affect the
system:
- High Temperature Alarm
- Low Temperature Aarm
- Zone Alarm
- Power Alarm
Options for Alarm actions are:
Console - which displays the alarm
condition in the lower Status Panel.
Beacon - extends the alarm to activate
an attached Alarm Beacon and Sounder.
Mould Protect - puts the console into
Stop Mode. All zone heaters will , as a
result, cool down.
Injection Disable - sends out a shut-
down signal from the IO Card which
may be externally congured to stop the
moulding machine.
Alarm Time
(seconds)
Congure a brief delay between an
alarm condition being detected, and an
external alarm being sent.
The maximum setting for Alarm Time is
999 seconds.
Maximum Set-
point Setting
Sets the highest permitted set-point for
the zone(s).
The highest Maximum Set-point
temperature that you can set is 450°C or
850°F.
Minimum Set-
point Setting
Sets the lowest permitted set-point for
the zone(s).
The lowest Minimum Set-point
temperature that you can set is 0°C or
0°F.
Maximum
Power Setting
Sets the highest permitted power
level for the zone(s). This will work in
either open loop (Auto) or closed loop
(Manual) conguration. However, it is
not effective for 4MODS cards working
Seki-Spear probes.
The highest Maximum Power Setting that
you can set is 100% power.
T/C Offset
Value
Sets a proportional offset between
measured and displayed temperature
to compensate for a probe where the
T/C may not be sufciently close to the
tip.
The highest T/C Offset temperature is
±75°C or ±135°F.
Speed Select, or over-ride, the Auto-
Speed setting to determine the
control characteristic for the zone
temperature.
Note: The Ultra settings force the
controller to stay in phase angle ring
all the time. These settings are used
where a very small nozzle could show
temperature instability in burst red
mode.
Sensor Select temperature sensor for the
zone(s) (J or K type) for Heater Control
cards or Analogue sensors for AI
cards. Analogue sensors read 0-20 mA
and may be used for ow, pressure or
other device.
