Operating & Servicing Instructions The Precision LV Nozzle bodies are identical in design, but differ in length, diameter and head style. All Precision LV nozzles feature: unique sleeve heater design; Type "J" thermocouple; 36" teflon wrap - 600 Volt leads; right angle lead exit; and 6" fiberglass sleeving. Start-up/Operating Procedures If the temperature controller does not utilize "soft start" technology, set the controller to 200°F (93.3°C) in automatic or 10% in manual. Allow bushing to "soak" for 15 minutes before increasing to processing temperature. This step will allow the unit to dissipate any moisture and prolong heater life. Tip Removal/Installation Removal 1) Secure the bushing firmly using a "V" block on the diameter or a vise against the flats machined on the head of the bushing 2) Use standard 9/16", 3/4", or 1-1/8" socket and remove tip by turning counter-clockwise. Installation 1) Place bushing in "V" block and secure it firmly at the bushing head. 2) Apply anti-seize sparingly onto male threads of tip. Note: Excess anti-seize may contaminate the resin being processed. 3) Use standard 9/16", 3/4", or 1-1/8" socket and install tip by turning clockwise. 4) Torque to 30 ft./lbs. (41 Newton-Meters) Power Requirements • 240 Volts AC - 15 amp fuse • Grounding - Fast Heat bushings utilize the direct contact of the bushing, mold plates, and machine platens to establish a path for grounding. *WARNING* I There must be a ground present between the Mold "Hot Half" and the temperature control system or damage may occur to the bushing, thermocouple and/or temperature control system. |
