Smart Series ® 146

RoHS/WEEE Compliant: Microprocessor-Based Temperature Control
Modules with Digital Display and Setpoint Pushwheel

SSM1512/11 (15 AMP) & SSM3012 (30 AMP)
COMPATIBLE WITH TAS0512
ALARM AND SYSTEM CONTROL The SSM1512 is the second generation of the popular SSM15G. This version maintains simplicity of operation
with simultaneous display of setpoint and temperature. Other new, improved, and unique features include:
FUNCTIONS. SEE PAGES 143-144.
Key Features
• Large Digital Display
- For easier readability of temperature, % power and faults
• Setpoint Pushwheel
- For setting desired setpoint temperature
- Allows adjustment of setpoint before turning power on
• Auto % Power Display
- Shows % power output while in AUTO mode
- Indicates average % power requirement on thermocouple failure
- Serves as a diagnostic tool for solving hot runner system problems
Operational Refinements
• Improved SmartStart ®
- A more gradual temperature rise leads to a more effective heater dry-out period,
thereby extending heater life
- SmartStart now available in MANUAL mode (optional)
®
• SelectiveCycle ®
- A very high speed power output approach
- Enables accurate temperature control and longer heater life
• Bumpless Transfer
- When a thermocouple failure occurs, operation is automatically continued with a learned % power
- Unique software accurately assigns percent power setting
• Third Fuse
- Allows for alarm output when the load fuses are blown
- Protects module from application of excessive voltage
• Anti-Arcing Feature Smart Series ® | Control Modules with Digital Display
- Protects circuit board from damage when module is either inserted or removed under power
Switchable Options
• Boost, Idle and Power Off Features
- Provides system-wide adjustment of temperatures
- Enables alarm audio/visual output and remote alarms
- Requires TAS0512 module and communications mainframe
(See pages 148-149 for more information on these capabilities)
• Unique AutoBoost Option
- Instantaneously opens frozen gates on startup
- TAS module or mainframe communications are not required
• Lights Out Feature
- After stabilizing at setpoint, display turns off; when a fault occurs, display is turned on and flashes
- For easier detection of faults
• Shorted Thermocouple Sensitivity Adjustment
- Operation can be tailored to fast or slow reaction times
- Sensitivity can be adjusted with internal switches
- Very useful for manifold zones with long startup times
• Switchable °C/°F Operation
- Scale indicated at startup
NOTE: SSM3012 is twice as • K Type Thermocouple Support
wide as above and has • Cut Feature
circuit breaker instead - Gain cut feature for small nozzles and heaters with ungrounded internal thermocouples
of power on/off switch.
