Series RMB Hot Runner Controller Instruction Manual
1. Introduction

This manual contains all the information
needed to set up and operate the Series
RMB Hot Runner controllers.
Instructions for wiring, installing, and
troubleshooting the controllers are in the
manual supplied with the mainframe.
1.2 Features and Benefits
of RMB Controllers
1.2.1 Introduction
The Series RMB Hot Runner controllers
offer many advanced features designed
to increase productivity and ensure fast,
accurate, and repeatable mode
temperature control. Each unit is
designed to control one temperature
zone based on input from a J or K
thermocouple. The controllers are set at
the factory for J thermocouple input. To
use a K thermocouple, change a switch-
setting; see 3.4.
1.2.2 Convenient User Interface
RMB controllers are equipped with a bright
two-line LED display that is easy to read
over wide viewing angles.
The process value is displayed on the top
line (three digits).
The lower line (four digits) displays your
choice of setpoint (normal mode), output
percentage (normal and manual), and
output current to the closest tenth of an
amp (normal and manual).
An orange LED on the front panel
indicates heater on, and a red LED
indicates high or low process alarm.
Green LEDs signal current mode and
boost action.
Front panel keys make it easy to change
mode, change setpoint (normal mode),
output % (manual mode), and to activate
the boost. You can also use the front
panel to change tuning parameter values.
RMB controllers with the optional 30 amp
output TRIAC are wider than the 15 amp
units (to accommodate the heat sink), but
the user interface is the same.
Detailed instructions for using the front
panel are in Section 2.
