etween the cavities.

System Set-Up Procedure
Mounting of Spray Unit:
The spray unit should e mounted or placed near the machine, in close
enough proximity that will allow the spray hoses and sensor ca le to
e mounted on the machine easily. The spray nozzles are designed to
e customer mounted using existing threaded taps on the mold lock
or using the optional magnetic ases (item # 43200M).
Mounting of the Proximity Sensor:
The proximity sensor may e mounted at the customer’s discretion. A
recommended mounting configuration would entail placing the sensor
on the machine such that when the mold platen was in the fully open
position, the platen is within ¼ inch of the face of the sensor.
Set-Up Sequence:
1) Position control ox on the machine in close proximity to the
area where the spray nozzles are to e placed.
2) Position or mount the spray nozzles on the machine or mold
using existing threaded taps or with optional magnetic ases.
3) Position or mount the proximity sensor to detect mold open
position (or to sense periodic movement in a non-molding
application).
4) Connect supply hose to giant aerosol cylinder. Alternatively, fill
the pressure pot and connect with the supply hose. If using
pressure pot, connect the pot to the compressed air source. Do
not exceed 50 psi of air pressure.
5) Open the cylinder valve (if using a cylinder).
