Magnum Venus Plastech PVSensor - Manual (Page 4)

PVSensor Instruction Manual. Issue-08 25/06/2008 Page 4 of 8
With the now standard Universal Insert laminated into the rear face of the LRTM tool, screw the
PVSensor clockwise into the Universal Mould insert Adapter supplied in the kit. It is important that
the PVS is screwed tightly down on the adapter so that it seals cleanly on the O ring; therefore
ensure that the top surface of the adapter is clean and smooth. - A little silicon grease smeared
onto this surface and the Sensor’s PTFE threads will help to achieve a good vacuum seal. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN as the PTFE Threads could become stripped.
Push the adapter firmly into the Universal mould insert and use the spring clip to retain the
adapter in the mould insert. (If desired, the old style PVS Insert # 1772 can still be used in place
of the Universal insert and adapter.)
Connect the four way PVSensor socket to the Sensor’s four pin, top plug and secure firmly in
position using the central retaining screw.
If the Sensor is not required to be used in the mould, then the Dummy Plug supplied can be used
to blank off the PVS adapter, and the Sensor can be moved to another mould.
NOTE: - For a long Sensor service life:
•
DO NOT - Operate in an inverted position, or at an angle greater than 30º off vertical.
•
DO NOT - Push any implement / tool into the Sensor’s PTFE cone.
•
DO NOT - Allow release agents to flood the Sensor cone. NOTE: It may be necessary to protect
the open end of the Sensor during mould preparation and release coat application.
•
DO NOT - Operate on automatic machine control without first confirming the safe set-point
pressure. (Simply check the set-point by pressing the left hand button on the unit and adjust
accordingly).
•
DO NOT - Change the set-point when the Green LED is illuminated, as it will NOT provide an
accurate setting, therefore only change this setting when the Green LED is OFF
•
ALWAYS - E nsure that the Sensor socket is firmly screwed to the Sensor during production use.
