Failure to heed the information can result in property damage as well as minor or moderate personal injury! NOTE Denotes general information, useful advice to users and work recommenda- tions, which, however, do not have any influence on the safety and health of personnel. General Safety Information 1 RT100 Control System...
Regloplas. Intended Use The Regloplas control system is built according to the current state of the art and the generally accepted principles of safety engineering. The con- trol system is intended solely for the normal use for heating and/or cool- ing of injection and die casting moulds, extruders, calenders, mixers and other consumers in areas in which there is no risk of explosion.
If the temperature control unit is damaged, it must not remain in use; the defective part must be replaced or repaired immediately. Only original Regloplas replacement parts may be used. Damage due to use of third- party parts voids any and all warranty claims.
The corresponding additional doc- uments are included with special versions of devices. Any additional doc- uments supplement and/or replace the descriptions contained in these instructions, which are then either invalid or only conditionally valid. 4 General Safety Information RT100 Control System...
No external, third-party devices may be connected to the 24 VDC supply and the AC supply of the base module! Operation Concept The RT100 Control System is equipped with an RCD control knob. It can be used for navigation in the user interface through simple rotating and pressing.

RT100 Control System - Displays Operation and Status Displays In the off state of the RT100 Control System, the message OFF appears in the display area. Upon switching on with the button ON/OFF, the addi- tional display is shown. The top left part of the display shows the set- point temperature SP1 or SP2 (SP = Set point).
Powering Up Upon switching on the main switch, OFF appears in the display. The RT100 Control System is now ready for operation and is switched on by pressing the ON/OFF button, or by the timer, through a digital input or an interface.
In the case of pressurised water units, the pressure release valve closes 5 °C above the run-on temperature value (max. 85 °C) and opens at the programmed run-on temperature value during the cooling process. Design and Function 9 RT100 Control System...
It is earnestly recommended that an operator password should be set up when commissioning the temperature control device. Operation with Timer The RT100 Control System has an integrated real-time clock. If the op- tion Timer is present, the device can be switched on and off with this op- tion.
