9.2 Filter Option
In countries where noise across power lines is a concern,
Mold-Masters
recommends that an inline filter is fitted. Please contact
Mold-Masters
for
details.
9.3 Alarm Output / Auxiliary Input
An optional cabinet connector provides an alarm output from an internal set
of relay contacts. Using an external power source, the cabinet can initiate
a number of warning devices whenever any zone goes into an alarm state.
This is commonly used for beacons, audible alarms or informing the molding
machine. In order to capture fleeting alarm conditions, the relay is held on for
about 15 seconds after the alarm condition is cleared. The contacts are rated
for 5A at 240V.
