Installing the System
2-4-1 Installing the pressure sensor
For the procedure for installing the sensor on the mold, refer to the
“Pressure sensor installation reference
diagram
” attached to the purchased sensor.
2-4-2 Installing the Junction box
Install the Junction box near the mold. The temperature limit is 70°C. Be careful not to expose it to temperature
higher than that.
The following three ways of installation are available. In any ways, install the box so that the sensor cable does
not get caught or is not pulled during movement of the mold.
①
Screw the box near the mold. (The customer is requested to perform M4 tapping.)
②
Fix the box using magnets (sold separately) near the mold.
* Magnets may come off and cause unexpected loss. Use them at customer's own risk.
③
Fix the box using mounting fixtures (brackets, L-shaped angles etc. to be prepared by the customer).
* When opening or closing the mold, be careful not to make the pressure sensor cable and the Junction cable
get caught in the mold.
2-4-3 Wiring the Junction cable
Wire the Junction cable in such a way that the cable connectors (on both ends of the Junction box and amplifier)
are not pulled while the mold is opened or closed. The temperature limit is 70°C. Be careful not to expose it to
temperature higher than that.
* It is convenient to use commercially available cable clamps (an example is shown in the photo below).
2-4-4 Installing the amplifier
Prepare a dedicated placing table and put the amplifier on the level surface. Operating temperature ranges from
0 to 50°C.
* Do not move the placing table. If it is moved during measurement, the cables are pulled, which could result
in not only measurement failure but also damage to the system.
