(item #43200JP)
The new Freedom automatic spray unit is easy to program and works
autonomously from all your equipment. You just plug it in and spray.
A proximity sensor placed near the mold cavity detects when the mold
opens and signals the unit to deliver release. Nozzles can e attached
with rackets (included) or optional magnetic mounting locks (item #
43200M). You are free to position them anywhere to spray release to
any point, such as trou le spots in the cavity, the entire face of the
mold, oth mold cavities, or even to create a ""cloud"" of release
etween the cavities.
The extremely compact control unit has protective ru er feet so it can
sit on any flat surface, or it mount directly to the machine. And it can
e plugged directly into any 110V, 15-amp circuit.
The Freedom unit comes complete with: easy-to-program control unit,
two 10-ft spray hoses and with a spray nozzle affixed to each hose, 6-
ft cord and proximity sensor, 10-ft hose to connect to the aerosol
cylinder or pressure pot, and 10-ft power cord. The aerosol spray
cylinder, liquid/ ulk formula, or pressure pot are additional purchases.
**When utilizing the Freedom Spray Unit, it will also be
necessary to purchase the Slide product of your choosing in the
giant aerosol cylinder or bulk/liquid format The Freedom
Spray Unit is engineered to be chemically compatible with
Slide’s formulations If you choose to use this spray system
with a non-Slide product, we cannot guarantee that your

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).
6) Plug unit into power outlet.
7) Turn PLC unit on and input desired timer and counter values y
following the operation and programming steps elow.

Choose the Set Parameter option y highlighting and clicking OK.
The next screen (shown elow) will display Counter 1-3, Delay Time 1-
3, and Spray Time 1-3.
The factory settings for all of the Counter features will e set at 3
cycles (as measured y the proximity switch).
The factory setting for all of the Delay Time features is set at 3
seconds (to allow parts to e ejected from the mold cavity efore the
spray is applied).

spray heads).
If the User desires to change or alter the factory settings, enter the
Program feature as descri ed a ove and update the settings
accordingly y using the arrow uttons.
Each #1 feature is for spray head 1, and each #2 feature controls
spray head 2. Each spray head can e set up and controlled with
individual settings for the Counter, Delay Time, and Spray Time. The
standard Freedom unit is delivered with 2 spray heads, so there is no
need to adjust any of the #3 settings.
Adjust the On setting to the User’s desired count. There is no need to
adjust the Off, Cnt or STU settings.
To complete programming and return to the previous or home screens,

Delay Time setting to expire and then spraying for the duration of the
Spray Time setting. This will repeat indefinitely.
Proper Automatic Sequence of Operation
1. The proximity sensor detects machine cycles as they occur (mold
open).
2. The control ox PLC tracks the num er of cycles (Counter 1 &
Counter 2) etween applications of material through the spray
nozzles.
3. When the num er of cycles selected is reached (and the
proximity switch detects the mold open), the Delay Time 1 &
Delay Time 2 egin timing efore the spray nozzles actuate and
release the spray.
4. Upon reaching the set Delay Time, the spray head valves will
open and release the spray for the duration of time called for y
the Spray Time 1 & Spray Time 2 settings.
The Red Indicator Light on the top of the spray unit serves two
functions. When the pressure in the supply cylinder ecomes low, the
red light will turn on and illuminate steadily. This indicates that the
cylinder is nearing empty and needs to e replaced. Depending on the
Spray Time duration setting, there will e approx. 15-20 sprays
remaining when light turns to a steady red. The Red Indicator Light
will also illuminate when the spray heads are releasing spray. The
light will turn on solid when the pressure pot is empty (if using the
pressure pot option).
For Manual Spray Head Activation
From the main Time/Date screen, hit the left arrow utton and
release.
The elow screen with 4 arrows will display on the screen. The top
