IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual SECTION 1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IMP Series 15 and 30 Amp Temperature Controllers IMP/P Series 10 and 15 Amp Temperature Controllers 1.1 General Description The IMP and IMP/P Series are microprocessor-based PID controllers specifically designed to perform most operator functions automatically. The IMP Series are plug-in units, while the IMP/P Series are portable, stand-alone instruments.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual The IMP controller also sends alarm status conditions to the SAM auxiliary module for annunciation and remote control functions. 1.2 Installation (IMP Series Only) All IMP Series controllers are ready to use as shipped from the factory. Prior to installation into a mainframe, make sure the voltage, Hz, and degree options are as ordered and correspond to the Product ID label.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual is 30 ºF (17 °C) or more above setpoint, the over temperature alarm display (upper segment of the leftmost digit) will flash. During alarm conditions, temperature display will also flash. If the temperature is within alarm limits, the display will stop flashing, and the leftmost digit will display closed-loop mode (“ ”). 5. Power to load indicator (the decimal point of the leftmost digit) will be on if any power is being applied to the load. 6.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual Manual Open-Loop Operation 1. Position the mode select switch to open-loop (“ ”). 2. Turn the AC power on. 3. After reset delay, the controller will display the percentage of output power as adjusted by the power control knob. The percentage power indicator will be on. Thus 0.00 corresponds to 0% (no power) and 1.00 corresponds to 100% (full power). The leftmost digit will display open-loop mode (“ ”). 75% power is shown as 0.75.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual Standby Heat (SAM module only) Standby heat is a low heat level used to keep heaters and associated equipment warm. Its purpose is to prevent moisture build-up in heaters and equipment during idle periods and to provide fast startup when returning to normal operations. When using a SAM, activate the standby switch. The SAM will send a standby command to all controllers.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual switched to manual mode. The output power will be a function of the manual control knob setting. Since the controller is now operating in open-loop mode, extreme care must be taken when adjusting to prevent excess output power that would overheat the load. 4. No heat: The IMP series controller has included in its microprocessor a program that detects that the temperature is not rising as it should in response to full power output.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual User’s Selected Jumper Option 1. For degree Celsius operation, install jumper on PC board marked J1 (marked C on newer models) 2. For 50 Hz operation, install jumper on PC board marked J2 (automatic on units built after 1999) 3. For 120 Vac input operation, install the 2 jumpers on the PC board as shown. 4. For 240 Vac input operation, install the 1 jumper on the PC board as shown.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual SafeChange. SafeChange should be enabled on the controller before installing it in the mainframe to reduce the possibility of damage to the controller. Use of the SafeChange feature does not eliminate the need for careful installation and removal of controllers. Always turn off power to the controller and the mainframe when installing or removing a controller.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual If you don’t see JP6, the controller in hand may pre-date the SafeChange feature. In addition to JP6 in the location shown above, controllers that support SafeChange also have one edge connector shorter than the others. If all the edge connectors are the same length, the controller does not support the SafeChange feature. SafeChange Edge Connector 4.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Model SAM Communications Module 2.1 Installation CAUTION Never insert or remove the module from a mainframe with the AC power on. Always switch the module or mainframe to OFF. Hazardous potentials exist on components inside both the module and mainframe. Always disconnect the AC power to the mainframe when servicing.

IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual 2.3 Basic Operation 1. Select Normal or Standby Mode. 2. Select Low Temperature Alarm Mode. a. Low Temperature Alarm Inhibit : Speaker will be off and output relay inactive in the event of low temperature condition (useful during start-up procedures). b. Low Temperature Alarm Active : 30 °F (17 °C) or more below IMP setpoint temperature will sound alarm and energize output relay contacts. 3. Turn Power On-Off Switch to “ON” position. 4.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual the over temperature LED will flash, and relay closure will occur. b. Under Temp. : Occurs when an IMP-15 thermocouple is 30 ºF (17 ºC) or more below setpoint. The speaker will emit a low-pitched audio tone of about 1 KHz repeating about once per second. At the same time, the under temperature LED will flash, and relay closure will occur. c. Over Temp.
IMP I IMP/P I SAM Hot Runner Controllers Instruction Manual 5. Remote Standby Option: It is possible to wire the mainframe for remote standby operation as outlined in the following procedure. a. Locate the appropriate communications connector for the zone to be occupied by the SAM. This is on the upper strip of connectors on the rear of the model “MFC” mainframe. b. Carefully wire an isolated set of Normally Open relay contacts, rated at 5 volts and 1/2 amp, to Pins 8 and 12 of the mainframe connector.
