2 General Safety Information
2.1 Safety Symbols
DANGER
Denotes imminent danger.
Failure to heed the information can result in death or grave personal injury
(disability)!
WARNING
Denotes a dangerous situation.
Failure to heed the information can result in death or grave personal injury
(disability)!
CAUTION
Denotes a potentially dangerous situation.
Failure to heed the information can result in property damage as well as minor
or moderate personal injury!
NOTE
Denotes general information, useful advice to users and work
recommendations, which, however, do not have any influence on the safety
and health of personnel.
2.2 Range of Application
This general safety information is generally valid for all temperature control units from MOULDPRO.
2.3 Intended Use
The MOULDPRO temperature control unit is build according to the current state of the art and the generally
accepted principles of safety engineering. The temperature control unit is intended solely for the normal use
for heating and/or cooling of injection and die casting moulds, extruders, and mixers in areas in which there is
no risk of explosion.
[6]
User Guidelines – TCU-90L 12-06-2019 Vers. 003
Any use beyond this shall be deemed to constitute improper use. The manufacturer is not responsible for
damage resulting from improper use; the user is solely responsible for such risks. The temperature control
unit may not be used under other operating conditions and/or with other media, in deviation from our
specifications, without the prior consent of MOULDPRO.
Use as intended also entails compliance with the operating, servicing and maintenance conditions stipulated
by the manufacturer. The temperature control unit may only be operated, serviced and maintained by
personnel who are familiar with these tasks and have been instructed as to the risks.
2.4 Safety Information
2.4.1 General Information
The MOULDPRO temperature control unit is safe to operate, but this device can pose danger to life and limb
if it is used incorrectly or for a purpose other than that intended. It should be noted that this poses risks to the
life and limb of the user or third parties, adverse effects on the equipment and other material assets
belonging to the user, and risks to the efficient operation of the equipment.
Start-up (i.e., commencement of intended use) is prohibited until it has been determined that the temperature
control unit has been set up and wired in accordance with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). EN 60204-1
(Safety of Machinery) must also be observed.
These operating instructions must be read carefully before turning on and operating the temperature control
unit. The information regarding the intended use and foreseeable misuse must be observed. Local safety
regulations must also be obeyed.
If the temperature control unit is used in combination with products by other manufacturers, their notices and
safety regulations must also be obeyed.
2.4.2 Process Monitoring
In plants in which a temperature control system malfunction leads to endangerment of the operating
personnel or destruction of the plant, an independent process monitor that shuts down the plant reliably must
be used.
2.4.3 Information for Operators and Personnel
The operator and all persons who are tasked with working on the temperature control unit must obey the
fundamental regulations regarding work safety and accident prevention. The operator must ensure that only
persons who have read and understood these operating instructions, particularly the chapter on safety, work
on the temperature control unit.
WARNING
People with pacemaker should not be allowed to demount or maintain the
magnetically coupled pump!
Any working methods that have a negative effect on the technical safety of the temperature control unit must
not be used. The operator must ensure that the temperature control unit is operated only in flawless condition.
[7]
User Guidelines – TCU-90L 12-06-2019 Vers. 003
If necessary, the company using the equipment must obligate the operating personnel to wear protective
clothing.
For all tasks having to do with set-up, start-up, operating, modification of operating conditions and operational
modes, maintenance, inspection and repair, any shutdown procedures stated to be necessary in the
operating instructions must be followed.
2.4.4 Changing the Parameters
The parameters of the control system may only be changed by personnel trained by MOULDPRO.
No parameters in the device configuration may be changed without consulting MOULDPRO.
The relevant accident prevention regulations and the generally accepted principles of safety engineering,
occupational medicine and structural engineering must be observed. The national safety regulations must
also be obeyed.
2.4.5 Residual risks
Any unauthorized modifications and changes to the temperature control unit as well as unauthorized changes
to the parameters of the control system are prohibited for reasons of safety.
If the temperature control unit is damaged, it must not remain in use; the defective part must be replaced or
repaired immediately. Only original MOULDPRO replacement parts may be used. Damage due to use of third
party parts voids any and all warranty claims.
DANGER
The temperature control unit must be rendered currentless before it is opened!
Press the main switch on the temperature control unit and unplug mains plug!
Danger due to electrical shock!
Repair leaks in the temperature control circuit (device, connecting lines, etc.) immediately.
In temperature control units that use oil as a heat transfer medium, it should be noted that oil is flammable
under certain conditions. For this reason, the temperature control unit must not be located in the vicinity of
heat sources. The thermal insulation in the device must always be kept clean. Insulation that is soaked with
thermal oil poses an increased risk of fire.
Burning thermal oil can be extinguished using a spray foam fire extinguisher, a powder fire extinguisher
(avoid with dust-sensitive plants, control systems, EDP, etc.) or a CO2 fire extinguisher. The appropriate fire
extinguisher must be provided by the operator, taking into account the equipment located in the room and the
mandatory safety regulations.
The temperature control unit may only be operated when all safety systems are completely installed and
intact. The temperature control unit must be protected against sprays and cleaning agents.
[8]
User Guidelines – TCU-90L 12-06-2019 Vers. 003
Before detaching connecting lines in the temperature control circuit and depending on the outlet temperature,
allow the temperature control unit to cool down first and then turn it off. Check that the pump is no longer
running.
WARNING
Important - danger of injury in the event of escaping water or oil!
2.5 Using this Documentation
This documentation contains important information for safe, economical operation and for proper
maintenance of the device.
Compliance with this documentation helps to avoid danger, minimize repair costs and downtime, and
increase the dependability and service life of the unit/system.
NOTE
The operating instructions should be kept near the corresponding unit and
always be accessible to operating and maintenance personnel.
2.5.1 Additional Documentation
The included documentation is completely correct for the basic versions of units. Components that do not
belong to the basic hardware are noted as extra equipment. The corresponding additional documents are
included with special versions of devices. Any additional documents supplement and/or replace the
descriptions contained in this documentation, which are then either invalid or only conditionally valid.
