Core means core in and core out movement. It also means the core should be inserted into the
mold waiting for injection with the help of hydraulic cylinder in the closing mold stroke. While
in the opening mold stroke, the core is retracted out and returns to its original form. This
function basically is used for a cannular mold platen. In Auto mode, injection and core move
forward at the same time to prevent the core from being contracted when injection occurs.
Therefore core and screw are not allowed to be used simultaneously.
Function ะ Selecting core mode, it is the normal core in/out movement. Selecting screw mode, it
means the products need to be manufactured with grains, to be used as position fixing control
of revolution in coordination with the oil pressure motor.(When using the functions above,

to set the desired upper and lower limits for each movement parameter. Once the actual
parameter exceeds the pre-set upper/lower limit, the machine will stop and the alarm will sound.
At the same time, the alarm screen will record the time and the mode of the alarm.
Machine Starts Running: When the machine starts running, until the production cycle count
equals the pre-set Auto Alarm Activation Count in auto mode, and the automatic monitoring
automatically changes to use, start monitoring.
Auto Alarm Activation Count: when setting Auto Alarm Activation Count, If it is equal to 0,
it will not be monitored. Set the Auto Alarm Activation Countin the parameters.
You can combine the actual production parameter in coordination with delta % and the delta
value to build the upper/lower limit. If you use % and delta value to get the upper/lower limit,
please calculate according to the formula below:
Upper Limit Explanation
RV+ (RV*X/100) + Y RV=Reference Value
Lower Limit x= Delta % (e.g. 10 for 10%)
RV- (RV*X/100) -Y Y= Delta Value
When the machine is turned off, the reference values will be lost. When you restart the machine,
the upper/lower limits will be re-established by using the previous mold’s parameters as the
new references after auto alarm function is activated again.
If you want to replace the original reference values with the current movement parameters, you
can set the Auto Alarm mode to "Resample”. The computer will use the parameters of the last
mold as the new reference values.
When the auto alarm system display "Use": auto alarm is open;

When an error occurs during the operation of the machine, not only the main screen will
display the error message, the alarm screen will also display at the same time. The difference is
that when other alarms occur simultaneously, then the main screen has the priority to display.
However the alarm screen could display 1 0 messages, awaiting for the user to eliminate one by
one. Below is the explanation of each alarm message and the elimination ways.
1.’’Temperature Error’’
Reason: When executing injecting, charging and nozzle, one or many stages’ real
temperature of the barrel is lower than this stage’s minimum allowable value or
higher than its maximum allowable value, which leads to unable to execute inject,
charge and nozzle.
Solution: 1) Check the setting and current temperature of the barrel. If the setting is OK,
please check whether there is something wrong with the heating hardware
circuit;
2) Check whether the heating coil, fuse, heating contactor or SSR failure causes
no heating;
3) If there is a section of 970 or 988, please check whether the thermocouple is
disconnected or not connected properly. If the circuit is normal, the computer
board is faulty. Please contact our company;
4) All segments display 970 or 988, please check whether the power supply of
the T1 015 transformer is normal, and the voltage between the yellow and white
lines is normal at 10V (AC).
2. ’’Please Close Door”
Reason:1) If just the character string "Please Close Door" occurs, and the red alarm strip
doesn’t occur, meaning this alarm is just a prompt message. After entering
Semi-Auto, Time-Auto and Auto Adjustment mode, if finding the door is open,
the system will remind the operator to close the door to enter auto cycle.
2) If the red alarm strip and the character string "Please Close Door" occur at the
same time, meaning the door is opened at the wrong time, causing the machine
stop.
Solution: Please close the door, repeat the former operations. If the alarm still occurs,
please check whether there is something wrong with the door’s hardware circuit
3.”Please Open Door”
Reason: When entering Semi-Auto, Time-Auto and Auto Adjustment mode, if finding the
