8.1.3 Setting the Maximum Test Time
On some molds, if there is a thermocouple wiring problem, a heater could be damaged during
test. Specifically, some heaters in some configurations may not support the peak temperatures
reached when full power is applied for the default test time. An extreme example is testing a
hot runner without the cavity plate in position. If the heater is large, a short test time may not
be long enough to heat up and result in a failed test. Operators can set the maximum test
time for each zone to accommodate different types of heaters.
To set the maximum test time, do the following:
