6.2 Controller Installation
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 E-Multi controller should be located in such a way that the main
disconnect is easily accessible in case of emergency.
E-Multi 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 E-Multi 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 confirmation of the main supply requirements. If the
local supply is outside the specified 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 E-Multi injection unit into the
system.
•
DO NOT enter the cabinet without first ISOLATING the supplies OR
having a qualified person selecting the BYPASS SWITCH to ON, to
gain live access to the controller. 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 600VAC.
• With the BYPASS SWITCH set to OFF opening the high power section
of the controller will cause the circuit breaker to TRIP, disconnecting all
power to the cabinet.
• Voltage and amperage cables are connected to the controller and the
mold. There is also a cable connection between the servo motor and
the controller. Electric power must be shut off 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 floor between the controller and the mold machine or the
E-Multi.
