Section 11 - Water Manifolds
WARNING
Ensure you have fully read "Section 3 - Safety" before installing or
connecting systems to the controller.
11.1 Introduction
The M2 Plus controller provides a compact system for monitoring the coolant
system within a mold.
The standard system includes a controller cabinet with the following:
• analogue input cards
• other control cards as required
• one or more water manifolds with ow sensors and / or pressure
sensors
• su󰀩cient data cable to link the manifolds to the cabinet
11.2 Installation
CAUTION
The coolant system should be plumbed in by a qualied tter ensuring that
the exible coolant pipes are not trapped by moving parts or kinked by
being stretched around corners or similar obstructions.
There should be a main ow and return shuto󰀨 valve provided so that the
water manifolds may be easily isolated for repair or maintenance.
Do not use any liquid sealant that may contaminate the coolant circuits.
CAUTION
The water manifolds should be rmly mounted in a position that will not be
subjected to excess heat, vibration or other undue stress.
The cables that connect the water manifold to the controller are marked for
identication and should be connected to the appropriately marked sockets
on the sensors and the controller.
The cables should be adequately supported using suitable cable tray or
individual cable cleats in accordance with the current IEEE Regulations for
Electrical Installations.
