Setup and Service

When setting up and servicing mold cavity pressure sensors the following three steps are important: insulation testing, sensitivity testing and repair of the single-wire cables.

Insulation Testing

Pressure sensors are maintenance-free, however the insulation should be checked during a mold service. The following instructions must be observed:

• Ensure the connector is dry
• When cleaning, cover the mounting bore or keep it clean
• Use cleaning spray Type 1003
• Check insulation with the tester Type 5493:
Reference value >10¹³ Ω

Sensor Sensitivity

An incorrect installation of a sensor affects its sensitivity. The sensitivity of an installed sensor must therefore be tested, if possible before setting up the mold on the machine.

• Test the sensitivity of the sensor with the set Type 5993A...
