Safety Instructions General Safety Instructions All safety instructions shall be carefully studied before the operation of the Synventive Hot Runner System is initiated. When working with the Hot Runner System, all safety instructions contained here in must be followed. Noncompliance with safety notes and instructions could result in serious injuries. - Page 8 Clean all connectors with a spray-type commercial electrical contact cleaner / degreaser and allow them to dry fully before reconnecting. All Synventive Hot Runner Systems shall be fitted with a temperature controller to provide separate temperature adjustment for each heating zone; the controller shall have the Soft-Start function for gradual heat-up.

Failure to comply with the instructions may cause serious injury. ● All safety instructions shall be carefully studied before the operation of the Synventive eGate® Controller system is launched. The eGate® contains static sensitive components that can be damaged by incorrect handling. It is expected these products will be protected from hazardous or conductive materials and/or environments that could cause harm to the unit by damaging components or causing electrical shorts. - Page 10 “Off” position via the rear Power Switch. Before connecting or disconnecting any cables switch “Off” the rear Power switch to the unit; Cables in the eGate® system and the injection mold interfaces may still be energized. Failure to do so may lead to damage of the eGate® system or injury to personnel.

Page 20: Appendix 2 Screw Position Sensor Interface
The screw position sensors are analog transducers and must provide analog output signal voltages from 0 -10 VDC. The sensors should have an accuracy of about +/- 0.28 to +/- 0.15% FS. The eGate® Controller’s analog inputs are high impedance > 100 kOhms and should not pose a loading issue in typical user applications.
