Page 12: Cleaning And Maintenance
5.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE If the polymer material being used is in plentiful supply, the old material may be “purged” from the (6) cup by simple extruding the material rather than molding. Do this by following steps 1 through 15 without in- stalling a mold. -
Page 13: Procedure To Remove The Rotor
5.2 PROCEDURE TO REMOVE THE ROTOR Follow the instructions for removing the cup prior to removing the rotor. Remove the chrome plated hole plug located on the left side of the motor cover housing (see Fig- ure 1). In line with the hold is the motor/rotor coupling connecting the motor shaft and rotor shaft. -
Page 14: Appendix A: Tuning The Lmm Controller
APPENDIX A: TUNING THE LMM CONTROLLER AUTO-TUNING: Whenever you install a new programmed controller or heater in the LMM Laboratory Mixing Molder , or want the optimal PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) settings at the most-used temperature set point, you will need to auto-tune both the header and rotor controllers simultaneously. Auto-tuning will automati- cally calculate the values for Rate/Reset (-rt-), Heat Gain (-HG-), and Cool Gain (-CG-) on both control- lers. - Page 15 5. Press the INDEX key until the code for parameter #10 (Auto-Tune Damping), -At-, appears in the PROCESS display. Dynisco recommends selecting the High Damping option for the optimal PID set- tings for your instrument. Use the up or down arrows to select the code for this option, 02 in the SET POINT display, and press ENTER.
