 Smar t Series ®

rohs/weee-compliant
temperature controls
for hot runner systems
112 Smart Series®
RoHS/WEEE Compliant
Advanced Temperature Control for Hot Runner Systems

Capability/RoHS and WEEE Compliant

DME offers 2-, 5-, 8-, and 12-zone standard mainframes for 15A operation and 1-, 2-, 3-, and
5-zone standard mainframes for 30A operation. Components listed in this catalog satisfy all
international compliances. This includes RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) that
prohibits or restricts the use of six potentially harmful materials in electronic equipment, and
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) that requires equipment made after August
2005 to be taken back and recycled by the manufacturer, rather than just “thrown away.”

Two-Year Warranty
All DME temperature controllers are now covered by a two-year warranty, excluding fuses and
triacs.
Advanced Temperature Control for Hot Runner Systems

Electrical Noise Immunity

To enhance immunity from electrical noise, power and thermocouple wire are harnessed
in separate wire ways within the body of the frame. Additional noise immunity is provided
through the use of shielded thermocouple wires.

The DME Smart Series® is the result of intensive and dedicated research with a goal of
designing today’s most versatile and reliable line of temperature controllers. DME achieved
this goal by not only incorporating the latest technology, but by also making certain that each
controller is easy to install and above all…easy to operate.

Heavy Duty Welded Construction

With years of experience behind its design, the Smart Series line is built to last under the
most rigorous conditions. The mainframe’s welded 16 gauge steel construction ensures long
life and peak performance. Cooling fans in the frame are strategically located to increase air
ventilation, maintain cooler running conditions, and promote control module reliability.

CE COMPLIANT! DME Mainframes and Modules comply with

Electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage directives

Control Modules
SSM (15 and 30 AMP): The SSM module provides accurate temperature control, including Smart Start®
heater dry out circuitry, thermocouple fault displays and auto/manual modes of operation. The SSM
features automatic or manual bumpless transfer which, in the event of a thermocouple fault, provides
switch over to manual mode at the proper power setting to continue molding until the fault can be
corrected. This module can also trigger remote standby heat (idle), boost, off, and alarm functions when
used with the TAS module.

DSS (15 and 30 AMP): For those who require independent dual displays for process and setpoint
temperatures, the DSS is the ideal choice. The DSS module also features automatic or manual bumpless
transfer. This module is also fully compatible with the TAS module for standby heat and alarm functions.

Accessory Modules
TAS: The TAS module provides over/under visual and audible alarms, boost, and standby heat control
with control modules as stated above. The TAS module can accommodate up to 63 zones of control.
SSM1512 Alarm is activated at ± 30° F. See pages 143-144 for details.
NOTE: The TAS accessory module requires the use of “MFC” style communications mainframes.

Smart Series®
Non-communications frames may be upgraded on-site with installable kits.

CE COMPLIANT! Control Modules
Simplified Power Hook-Up
Concern for user convenience didn’t stop with improved operation features. DME
went one step beyond
DSS1512 to ensure that the power hook-up procedure goes smoothly as well. For this reason,
detailed schematics
for various hook-ups are provided directly on all mainframe back panels. If it is ever
necessary to change
the configuration, these diagrams will help ensure safe and proper connections. All
wiring diagrams can
be referenced at the end of this section.

SSH Controller (10 AMP)

The SSH is a stand-alone single zone controller ideal

Smart Series® Digital Current/Voltage Monitor

Streamlined Design For Improved Performance

The new Current/Voltage Monitor is simple to operate and features a large 3
easy-to-read digital display. Ease of operation has been enhanced by streamlining
4
the unit and eliminating unnecessary switches and controls. When setting the
selector switch to the desired zone number, the ‘Amps’ function is selected.
The meter will then display the amount of current being delivered by the selected
module. Input voltage to the system can be measured by rotating the selector 5
switch to one of the three ‘line voltage’ positions. This will set the meter in the
‘voltage’ function and display the voltage of the selected phase.

Current Supply To Each Zone

To monitor the current supply to each zone, simply set the rotary selector switch 2
to the desired module zone number. The “Amps” function is then automatically
selected and is indicated by the letter ’A’ just to the right of the numbers in the 1

Smart Series®
display window. The meter displays the current being delivered to the heater load
in amperes.

Input Voltage From Each Phase

Set the rotary selector to the desired phase voltage position. This automatically
selects the ‘volts’ function which is indicated when the letter ‘V’ appears to the

|
right of the numbers in the display window. The meter will display the line voltage

Smart Series® Digital Current/Voltage Monitor

of the selected phase.
1. CIRCUIT BREAKER/DISCONNECT – Applies or removes power to all modules
in the frame.
2. POWER ON LIGHT (amber) – Illuminates when CIRCUIT BREAKER is in the
ON position.
3. AMPS/VOLTS METER – Digital multi-scale meter provides accurate readings
of zone current (AMPS) or input voltage (VOLTS).
4. AMPS/VOLTS INDICATOR – Appears automatically when either AMPS or
VOLTS is selected.
5. SELECTOR SWITCH – Multi-position switch automatically selects zone
current or phase line voltage to be monitored. For systems with more than
12-zones, additional meter and selector switch panels are supplied.

In the event of a thermocouple failure, the DSS can automatically invoke bumpless transfer to a
percent power mode based on the last valid percentage learned before the thermocouple failure.
If desired, manual bumpless transfer may be selected, in which case a thermocouple fault will turn
off power to the heater until the manual percent power mode is activated by the operator.
A unique feature of the DSS is a 100% power option. For a switch-selectable, interval of 15 or 30

Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Option A)

The diagrams on pages 148 through 150 are printed on the back panels of the mainframes.
For your convenience, they are depicted here along with additional information.
For information on input wiring for 30 amp mainframes, contact DME.

Standard input wiring for mainframes, unless specified otherwise at time of order, is 240 VAC,
three- phase, 4-wire, 50/60 Hz. (OPTION A). If it becomes necessary to change to another
configuration, refer to the appropriate diagram and information on the following pages:
Page 148: (OPTION A) 208-240 VAC, 3-phase, 4-wire
Page 149: (OPTION B) 380-415 VAC, 3-phase, 5-wire
Page 150: (OPTION C) 240 VAC, 2-phase, 4-wire
(OPTION D) 208-240 VAC, single phase, 3-wire 120 VAC, 2-phase, 4-wire

Note: For mold power and thermocouple connector wiring information, see pages 128-129.
Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Option A)

OPTION A 208 – 240 VAC, Three-Phase, 4-wire Delta

(Standard) or “Y” Power Distribution System
|
Smart Series®

As shown above, each module is powered from one of the three phases. Zone (1), for
example, is powered from Phase 1, which is supplied by R/L1 and S/L2. Zone (2) is
powered by Phase 2, which is supplied by S/L2 and T/L3. Zone (3) is powered by Phase
3, which is supplied by R/L1 and T/L3.

NOTE: At this point, the sequence repeats itself. For example, Zone (4) is connected
the same as Zone (1) to R/L1 and S/L2 and Zone (5) is connected the same as Zone (2) to
S/L2 and T/L3 and Zone (6) is connected the same as Zone (3) to R/L1 and T/L3. Zone (7)
is then connected to the same phase as Zone (1) and (4), etc. This method of connection
assures the greatest likelihood of line balance.

“Y” Power Distribution System

Smart Series®
CAUTION note: The voltages from line-to-line in this system are 380 to 415 volts. Severe damage to module and

|
Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Option B)
mainframe could result if this type of AC input system is connected to a mainframe wired as OPTION A. This type of power
distribution is not found or is very uncommon in the United States but is the most common system found in many other
countries worldwide.

WARNING: If export of this system is intended, make sure that wiring is reconfigured for the country where it is to be used.

Please note that the 380-415 Volt Power Distribution System is the same as the “Y” connection shown in OPTION A except
for the voltage levels and the use of the MP/N to develop the 240 volt from the 380-415 volt system. Notice that all modules
have one line connected to MP/N and the other side connected to one of the three phase lines.

Example: Zone (1) is connected to Phase 1, which is supplied by R/L1 and MP/N.
Zone (2) is connected to Phase 2, which is supplied by S/L2 and MP/N.
Zone (3) is connected to Phase 3, which is supplied by T/L3 and MP/N.
Zone (4) starts the sequence over again. It is connected to Phase 1 R/L1
and MP/N, etc.

Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Options C and D)

Example: Zone (1) is connected to MP/N and R/L1. Zone (2) is connected to MP/N and S/L2, etc.
Zone (3) starts the sequence over again. It is connected to MP/N and R/L2, same as zone (1).

OPTION C 240 VAC, Two-Phase, 4-wire

Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Options C and D)

The 240 volt single-phase connection only uses two power lines plus ground.
CAUTION: Only power conductors should be connected through the circuit breaker. Never make ground
connections through a circuit breaker. Notice that the output of the circuit breaker is connected to terminal strips
R/L1 and S/L2. Also notice that ground is common with MP/N in this system. All zones in this system have to be
connected to MP/N and either R/L1 or S/L2. Line balance is achieved by alternating between R/L1 and S/L2.

OPTION D 208 – 240 VAC, Single-Phase, 3-wire or 120 Vac,

Two-Phase, 4-Wire
|
Smart Series®

Above diagram depicts two different wiring configurations. One is 208-240 volt, single-phase, 3-wire. Note that
lines R/L1 and S/L2 are connected through the circuit breaker to the appropriate terminal strips. All zones will be
connected between R/L1 and S/L2. MP/N is common with ground and is not connected through the circuit breaker.
In the 120 volt connection (zone connections shown within the dashed-line area), the 120 volts is developed between
R/L1 and MP/N and S/L2 and MP/N. Again, ground and MP/N are not connected through the circuit breaker. Each
zone in this system will be connected to MP/N and either R/L1 or S/L2. Line balance is achieved by alternating
between R/L1 and S/L2.

VCAP Air Valve Assemblies and 4-Zone Timer

VCAP multi-station air valve assemblies

The VCAP series offers 4-station (0400), 6-station (0600), 8-station (0800),
10-station (1000), and 12-station (1200) valve assemblies. The single-solenoid
valves are spring returned and designed to run from 24 VDC +/- 10%. The air
supply (maximum rated pressure 145 PSI) can be lubricated or non-lubricated
– dry air is preferred but the valve is designed to tolerate some moisture.

Quick connects are provided on all air outputs to accept standard 1/4" tubing.
The de-energized outputs, used for closing valve gates, feature check valves
to ensure that unused valves do not leak air.
