IDLE (Idle Setpoints)

properly, the Idle function "Idles" or lowers the selected zone's temperature to a user-specified value for a user-specified time period or can be set to be in IDLE for an indefinite amount of time. Once the user-specified period has timed out, the system is returned to the normal "run" mode. When maintenance needs to be performed on a mold in the press, the press is stopped and/or if for any reason plastic is sitting idle in the hot runner system for a long period of time, it is advisable to set the Pulse into Idle mode as to reduce material degradation in the hot runner system.

Idle can be initiated at any time during the RUN sequence, or can be initiated from STOP or from BOOST mode. Please note that if IDLE is being initiated from STOP the Startup Functions will be automatically initiated prior to decreasing temperature to the IDLE setpoints (reference the RUN section for the explanation of the Startup Functions).

Please Note: For more information on the IDLE function, please reference the Zone Boost/Idle SETUP section, page 25 of this manual.

Navigating, Changing and Copying Values

The Pulse display unit has a main cursor which is used to indicate a selected value that can be changed or copied. A set of navigation buttons moves the cursor throughout the screen when pressed. Once the cursor is moved to the desired location, the change value buttons decrease or increase the value.

To copy a value, highlight the desired value using the navigation buttons, then push the COPY button.
