Series IMP
|
|
 Athena’s Series IMP Modules use microprocessorbased circuitry to perform all required control functions. Units have built-in diagnostics and are fully self-tuning– setpoint temperatures are maintained without the need to manually preset or adjust the control temperature.
• Simultaneous digital setpoint and digital temperature indication
• Available in 15-amp modules as well as single-zone 15- and 30-amp portable temperature controllers
• Athena’s Controllers are compatible with all D-M-E Company’s G SERIES and SMART SERIES® ITC, MCS, YUDO® and INCOE® brand mainframes.
• CompuStep® feature removes moisture from the heater before full power is applied
• CompuCycle® feature improves response time, reduces thermal fatigue and prolongs heater life by applying AC power smoothly and continuously
• Manual control for non-thermocouple applications, provides standby or “weekend” heat or to manually control temperature if a thermocouple fails
• Diagnostic and protection features include power “on,” power to load, manual made, and over/under temperature, plus indicators and system protection for reversed and open thermocouples
• SafeChangeTM “hot swap” feature allows safe removal and replacement of module

Series SY Dual-Voltage Hot Runner Control System
|
 |
Athena’s dual-voltage hot runner control system combines 240 Vac and 24 Vac into one mainframe cabinet, eliminating the need to maintain two separate systems. This configuration is typically used in applications where the heaters for the manifolds operate on 240 Vac power and the injection nozzles operate on 24 Vac power. The control system includes the mainframe cabinet with a fused circuit breaker/ disconnect switch, stepdown transformer, floor stand and a special safety interlock which prevents the insertion of 24 Vac control modules into a 240 Vac slot in the mainframe.
• The Series RMB or RMC control modules are available for use in the dual voltage mainframes
• Communications available with RMC control modules
• CE approval
• Wide range of accessories available for customizaton of control system
