General Description Read this manual carefully before operation to prevent damage of the machine or personal injuries. The STM-O series standard oil heater are used to heat up the mould and maintain this temperature, although they can be used in other similar applications. High temperature oil from the mould is returned to the cooling tank and cooled by indirect cooling.
1.1 Coding Principle 1.2 Feature l Controller adopts 3.2" LCD for easy operation. l Equipped with the design of 7-day automatic start/stop timer. LCD screen can be converted between Chinese and English. The unit of temperature can be converted between oF and ℃. l P.I.D multi-stage temperature control system can maintain mould temperature with accuracy of ±0.5℃.

Do not touch the switch with wet object or hands. Do not use the machine before fully aware of its performance. Be careful not to touch or hit the switch or sensor. Please keep enough operation space, and keep away obstacles. To avoid producing statics, clean the floor from oil or water to keep a dry environment.
1.5.2 Signs and Labels Please according to schedule to make regular maintenance. Oil outlet valve: oil discharge outlet for renewing oil. High liquid level: the highest oil level to which machine can reach under room temperature. From mould: connector for circulating water/oil coming from mould.
1.5.4 Transportation and Storage of the Machine Transportation 1) STM series standard oil heater are packed in crates or plywood cases with wooden pallet at the bottom, suitable for quick positioning by fork lift. 2) After unpacked, castors equipped on the machine can be used for ease of movement.
Page 15
Storage 1) STM series standard oil heater should be stored indoors with temperature kept from 5℃ to 40℃ and humidity below 80%. 2) Disconnect all power supply and turn off main switch and control switch. 3) Keep the whole machine, especially the electrical components away from water to avoid potential troubles caused by the water.
The following statements clarify the responsibilities and regulations born by any buyer or user who purchases products and accessories from Shini (including employees and agents). Shini is exempted from liability for any costs, fees, claims and losses caused by reasons below: 1) Any careless or man-made installations, operation and maintenances upon machines without referring to the Manual prior to machine using.
Structure Characteristics and Working Principle 2.1 Working Principle Picture 2-1: Working Principle The high temperature oil returns to the machine and then be pressured by pump to the heater. After being heated, oil will be forced to the mould and continue the circle.
3. Installation and Debugging 3.1 Installation Space During installation of the machine, keep at least 500mm installation space around the machine as shown by the picture. Do not install the machine in a position crowded with other objects. This would cause inconvenience to operation, maintenance and repair.
Notice: Cooling water inlet and outlet are as below, pay attention to the direction! Picture 3-3: Mould and Water Coupling 2 2) Connect cooling water inlet with water supply and cooling water outlet with a drainage pipe. After that, turn on water supply. 3.3 Power Supply Make sure that power supply is the same as required before installation.
4) Install Teflon to copper joint. Note: For the operating temperature not higher than 200 ℃ , Teflon with temperature resistance 200 ℃ is usable; for the operating temperature from 200 to 300 ℃ , must use Teflon with temperature resistance 300 ℃ . 3.4.2 Installation Steps for Options Water Manifold (Welding) 1) Install copper joint to the level valve.
