1. General Notes

• Sensor ø4 mm may not be machined
• Front of sensor must be clean and without notches
• Only use recommended installation accessories
• Do not use cable to pull sensor out of hole

2. Important Areas of Sensor Hole

Be aware of the following important areas of the bore:
1. Sensor contact surface must be flat and perpendicular
2. H7 hole to center sensor
3. Chamfer protects O-ring during installation
4. Not to be used to center sensor
5. Sharp edges reduce witness mark on part

3. Hole

3.1 Unmachined Sensor
For use in flat cavity wall with sensor fitted at right angles
to cavity
• Hole and thread must be free of debris and shavings
• Accessories set Type 1300A81 may be used

3.1.1 Sensor with Mounting Nut Type 6457

Electrical discharge machine (EDM), mill or precision grind H7
hole in hardened tool steel. Check centering and alignment.
Clean thread of debris and shavings.
6190C_002-433e-08.08

3.1.2 Sensor with Spacer Sleeve Type 6459

EDM, mill or precision grind H7 hole in hardened tool steel.
Check centering and alignment. Clean thread of debris and
shavings.

3.2 Hole for Cavity-Wall Matched Sensor

This sensor has a thermocouple welded into the front face.
The sensor cannot be machined to match the cavity wall.
• Sensor CANNOT be machined

4. Cable Channeling and Connector

• Install cables in channels to simplify mould assembly
• Do not route cables next to hot runner cartridge
• Chamfer all sharp edges
• Cover open channels/slots
4.1 Single-Wire Technique
The single-wire technique uses the tool steel of which the mould
is made to ensure an electrical shielding of the sensor signal.
Thus the wiring can be run through drilled holes or channels.
• Single-wire cable must be completely enclosed in
the mold
• Single-wire cable may not be run together with
power cables
4.1.1 Single-wire Connector Type 1839 and Temperature Con-
nector
A sensor supplied with assembled connectors is run in a chan-
nel with a recess for mounting plate.
• Ensure radii are machined in channels
• Cover open channels to prevent cable damage
4.1.2 Multi-channel Single-Wire Connectors and Tempe ra-
ture Amplifier
Sensors Type 6190CAG/G1 or sensors in the set Type
6833A..., which are all connected to 4-channel connector
Type 1708A... and temperature amplifier Type 2205A...,
require the following channels and recess.
Recess for 4-channel connector Type 1708A..., temperature
amplifier Type 2205A... and adapter plate Type 5700A25
