Check that the system is completely disconnected from the power source.
Clean up any water, oil, dirt, cleaning fluids etc. that may have spilled during a mold
change or since the last production run.
Check all of the cable connections between the system and the mold (if required). Make
sure all of the cables are free from wear or damage.
Check that the earth/ground connection is in good condition. Verify the system and the
mold have the same ground reference.
Connect the thermocouple and power output cables (if required).
Using an Ohmmeter, touch one test lead to the mold and the other to the mold ground
terminal on the system. Resistance must be less than 1 .
Check the main input power disconnect and make sure it is in the OFF position prior to
connection of the controller to the power source.
