You can enlarge the screen image with two fingers as you are used to on actual smartphones or tablet computers („pinch-to-zoom-function“). To facilitate reading and operation of the touchscreen, the frontpanel of the device (or its upper part for the higher casing types) is tilted. HASCO hot runner 17...
6.1 Homescreen The “Homescreen” is the start-up operation screen for all functions and programs of the HASCO touchscreen operation system, comparable to the desktop of a PC, smart- phone or tablet computer. From every screen, the “Home”-button will lead you directly to the homescreen, this button is always on the upper right corner of the screen.
The display field of the actual mould name is also a button to access directly the mould memory without passing trough the homescreen (see chapter 6.6). HASCO hot runner 19...

Activation of Boost– and Stand-By-function is indicated by orange colouring of the respective button, see example in chap.6.2.2 . If one of both functions is active, the other one is locked. Alternative : „Stand-By“ can also be activated with an external switching contact (see also chapter 4.4). HASCO hot runner 20...

Operation of the button arrays „Operational mode“, „Boost / Standby“ as well as „Settings“ is only possible for operators with user rights „Shift leader“ or higher. If this is not the case, those buttons are locked, indicated by a grey colour (see example next page). HASCO hot runner 32...
Operations manual H1281 6.3 Settings This button on the Homescreen leads you to the functions „Settings“ of the HASCO Touchscreen Operation System. The extent of the functions available here depends on the user right level of the operator (see below).

Control parameter - Temperature control configuration : Temperature control of your HASCO unit is fully automatic, that means with automatic adaptation to the characteristics of every connected heating zone. In rare cases of very unusual behaviour of an heating zone, this automatic adaptation can be switched off.

The leakage alarm does not influence the actual control behaviour, that means the alarm threshold value does not limit actual heating powersetting. If this shall be done, a powersetting limitation can be set, see chapter „zones configuration - setpoints“ HASCO hot runner 60...
The mould diagnosis is a separate function of the HASCO controller and can only be performed outside current operation. The continuous heating is switched off, no production can be run during mould diag- nosis.
