OPERATION INTRODUCTION
This operation procedure guides you through a typical process on how to set a M.O.L.E.
thermal proler up for performing a data run. For additional detail, consult the Help
System in the software.
The M.O.L.E. thermal proler depends on the MAP (Machine-Assembly-Process) software
to control how it collects and interprets data. Several kinds of data runs may need to
be performed to achieve desired information, or the same data run may be performed
repeatedly over time to monitor one process. Either way, each data run must be set up
at least once.
The MAP software includes wizards that help you get started quickly, even if you are a
beginner or infrequent user.

OPERATION SETUP INSTRUMENT
STEP 1: SETUP INSTRUMENT
1. Open the M.O.L.E. MAP software.
2. Connect the M.O.L.E. thermal proler to the
computer.
3. Make sure the M.O.L.E. battery is fully
charged. When a M.O.L.E. thermal proler is
selected, the software status bar displays the
current battery voltage.
4. Set an Environment. Either open an existing
Environment Folder or create a new one.

When navigating through the
wizard, the step list on the left of
the dialog box uses a color key to
inform the user of the progression
through the wizard.

12. Verify the instrument status. This dialog box
displays the health of the M.O.L.E. thermal
proler such as battery charge, internal
temperature, thermocouple temperatures.
13. Select the Finish command button to
complete the Setup Instrument wizard.

Never permit the M.O.L.E. thermal
proler to exceed the absolute
maximum warranteed internal
temperature, as permanent damage
may result. The warranty will not
cover damage caused by exceeding
the maximum specied internal
temperature.

OPERATION DATA COLLECTION
STEP 2: DATA COLLECTION
1. Attach the thermocouple sensors into
the test product. Soldering is the most
common method. This process will vary
depending on the type of data you are
trying to collect.

When retrieving the M.O.L.E.
thermal proler and test product
use caution as it may be warm.

OPERATION DATA COLLECTION
2. Connect the M.O.L.E. thermal proler to
the sensors.
3. Press the “ON” button.
4. Place the M.O.L.E. thermal proler in the
appropriate thermal barrier and press
the “Record” button.
5. Close the thermal barrier making sure
the sensor wires do not get pinched and
the latch is secure.
6. Pass the thermally protected M.O.L.E.
thermal proler, and test product
through the process.
