8.2.2 Automatic Thermocouple Rewiring
Thermocouples can be inadvertently cross-wired in the mold, where the thermocouple for
one heater becomes connected with another heater, and vice versa.
The Altanium wiring test checks the thermocouple/heater wiring and determines whether
the wiring is correct. When the test is complete and if an error was found, the zone with the
error will have an x displayed in the wiring column. Also, the Re-Wire button on the Test
Results screen will be enabled.
To automatically rewire thermocouples, do the following:
On the Diagnostics Results screen, touch the Re-Wire button to automatically reassign the
mold thermocouples to their correct zones.

The wiring test tests for correct zone sensor assignment. This test
determines whether sensor assignments match. If a sensor assignment
does not match, the cross-talk findings test will fail.
Wiring values are displayed as follows:
•
Check mark: indicates the zone passed the wiring test.
•
X: indicates the zone failed the wiring test.
This test calculates cross-talk data that is used to describe how well a
zone is isolated from adjacent zones. When heating one zone, adjacent
zone temperatures should not increase.
Iso. values are displayed as follows:
•
1 = Excellent isolation
•
2 = Good isolation
•
3 = Moderate isolation
•
4 = Fair isolation
•
5 = Poor isolation
The earth leakage test tests for a earth leakage in each zone. Earth
leakage values are displayed as follows:
•
Question Mark: indicates the earth leakage for the zone was not
tested.
•
Check Mark: indicates there is no earth leakage for that zone.
•
X: indicates there is a earth leakage for that zone.
The bake out test tests for moisture in each heater. Bake out values are
displayed as follows:
•
Question Mark: indicates the bake out for that zone was not tested.
•
Check Mark: indicates the zone passed the bake out test.
•
X: indicates the zone failed the bake out test.
Time taken to test each zone.
This information is saved with the current mold setup.
