Section 5 - Setup
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 MT controller should be located in such a way that the main disconnect
is easily accessible in case of emergency.
MT Series controllers are 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 MT 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 conrmation of the main supply requirements. If the
local supply is outside the specied range, please contact Mold-Masters for
advice.
WARNING
-
ELECTRIC 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
mold machine before installation of the controller into the system.
• DO NOT enter the cabinet without rst ISOLATING the supplies.
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 415VAC.
• Voltage and amperage cables are connected to the controller and the
mold. 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 the mold machine.
