ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 13

2.1 GENERAL

A. All process piping materials such as hose, rigid piping, valves or

filters, used in process water piping circuitry must be rated for 350°F
minimum temperature and 200 PSI minimum pressure.

B. Be certain all process piping materials have the equivalent or larger

diameter of the particular process connection.

Drain connection:
connect to one of the following:
(depending on water supply source)
• plant’s open drain
• tower water system return
• chilled water system return

To process connection:
connect to “water in” on process manifold

From process connection:

connect to “water out” on process manifold

Water supply connection:

connect to one of the following:
• plant’s city water source
• well water source
• tower water supply
• chilled water supply

2.2 TO AND FROM PROCESS CONNECTIONS

A. Connect the unit’s To Process port to the Water In port on the

process manifold.

B. Connect the unit’s From Process port to the Water Out port on the
process manifold.

C. Please note: process water piping circuitry should be designed to

avoid an excessive use of elbows and/or lengths of pipe or hose.
If hose is the material of choice, avoid tight twists or curls and
excessive lengths.

D. Valves and filters may be installed in the process water piping

circuitry to facilitate service and maintenance, provided that such
devices maintain the full inside diameter of the process connection.
If installed, all such devices must be open and clean during unit
operation.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 14

2.3 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

A. Connect the unit’s Water Supply port to the plant’s city water, well
water, tower water or chilled water supply.

B. Water supply pressure requirements vary with operating

temperatures. Figure 2.2A shows the required operating water
supply pressures for various operating process temperatures. The
required water supply pressure retains process water in a liquid
state at temperatures over 180°F. Failure to maintain the required
water supply pressure will cause premature failure of and increase
maintenance in susceptible areas such as the shaft seal and heater.

WATER SUPPLY PRESSURE
Figure 2.2A

C. The factory recommended

minimum operating water supply
pressure requirement is identified
on the unit’s data tag (figure 2.2B).

D. Static water supply pressure can be

determined at the unit’s location by
reading the unit’s 0-160 PSI
pressure gauges when the unit’s
pump motor is OFF.
Typical Data Plate Figure 2.2B
E. If water supply pressure as read on
the unit’s pressure gauges exceeds
75 PSI, a pressure reducing
valve must be installed in the water
supply line (refer to section 7.4 of
this manual for installation
information). The factory
recommended ‘regulated pressure
out’ is 55 PSI (figure 2.2C).

2.4 DRAIN CONNECTION:

Typical pressure reducing valve Figure 2.2C
A. Connect the unit’s DRAIN port to installation (shown on S-925).
one of the following, determined by
the water supply source:

1. Open drain for well or city water supply.

2. Tower water system return for tower system water supply.

3. Chilled water system return for chilled water system supply.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 15

B. The factory recommends a minimum of 10 psi pressure differential

between the water supply and drain line for proper cooling.

C. For most applications, the drain line

should not be valved. However, for
installations with a pressurized
drain system, it may be necessary
to install a valve in the drain line. In
such cases, the installed valve
must be fully opened after
installation and the valve handle
removed to prevent operating the
unit with a closed drain valve. The
valve handle can be reattached to Typical drain valve installation Figure 2.3A
the valve body when it is necessary (shown on S-925)

to close the valve (figure 2.3A).

D. CAUTION: the unit must never be operated with a closed drain line
valve. A closed drain line valve prevents adequate system cooling
and will lead to unit overheating. Overheating of the unit may lead to
unit damage and/or serious personal injury.

2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

A. NEMA 1 MODELS

1. Electrical power supply requirements for Nema 1 units are

identified on the equipment data tag. Verify that available
voltage supply is the same as the unit’s voltage
requirements.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A VOLTAGE

SUPPLY SOURCE NOT EQUAL TO THE UNIT’S VOLTAGE
REQUIREMENTS AS SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT’S DATA
PLATE.

Use of incorrect voltage will void the unit’s warranty and

cause a significant hazard that may result in serious
personal injury and/or unit damage.

2. For units with 10 and 16 KW heaters, a four conductor

cable, 10 foot in length, has been provided for connection to
an operator supplied fused disconnect.

3. For units with 24 and 34 KW heaters, the operator must

provide a four conductor power cable and the fused
disconnect.

4. The owner supplied fused disconnect must be sized and

installed according to the unit’s power supply requirements
and local electrical codes.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 16

B. NEMA 12 MODELS

1. Nema 12 units are designated by the letter “J” in the model

number suffix. These units are constructed with a dust tight
electrical enclosure and branch circuit fusing. Electrical
power supply requirements are identified on the equipment
data tag. Verify that available voltage supply is the same as
the unit’s voltage requirements.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A VOLTAGE

SUPPLY SOURCE NOT EQUAL TO THE UNIT’S VOLTAGE
REQUIREMENTS AS SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT’S DATA
PLATE.

Use of incorrect voltage will void the unit’s warranty and

cause a significant hazard that may result in damage to the

3.0 OPERATIONS
3.1 GENERAL
3.2 MACHINE START UP/OPERATIONS PROCEDURE
3.3 INSTRUMENT OPERATION
3.4 SHUT DOWN/DISCONNECT PROCEDURE

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 19

3.1 GENERAL

A. Failure to follow the factory required operation procedures may

adversely affect the unit’s ability to adequately control process
temperature and may create a hazardous operating condition which
may result in unit damage or serious operator injury.

B. The Operations segment of this manual is outlined below:

3.2 Machine start-up/operations procedure - follow this

segment to start the unit after the initial installation or to
restart the unit after reinstallation to the same or different
process. This section includes information on system fill,
electric motor phasing (pump rotation) and process flow
adjustments.

3.3 instrument Operation - follow this segment to start up and

operate the instrument. This section includes information on
automatic and manual venting, setpoint selection and
adjustment, and feature explanations.

3.4 Shut down procedure - follow this segment to shut down

the unit. This segment includes information on system cool
down, shut down, electrical power supply precautions, and
disconnection from the system.

3.2 MACHINE START UP/OPERATIONS PROCEDURE

A. SYSTEM FILL

1. Engage the water supply source by opening the water

supply valve (customer installed) at the unit’s location. If a
valve is not installed, engage the water supply source at the
plant’s water supply central control point.

2. Once the water supply source is open, the unit will fill
automatically. Allow a few moments for the the unit to
completely fill. The operator can determine the unit is
properly filled when the To Process pressure gauge and the
From Process pressure gauge stabilize at equal or closely
similar pressure.

3. The operator must check for any water leakage in the unit’s
mechanical system, the process, and throughout the plant’s
water supply system. If a water leak is observed, the
operator must disengage the water supply system, relieve
all pressure, and repair the leak. The operator must verify
the leak is repaired by refilling the system as outlined in this
procedure.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 20

4. During system fill, air is trapped at various places in the

water system. Air is purged automatically via the AVTTM
valve during initial pump start-up (outlined below). All air
must be purged before the unit is engaged for process
temperature control.

Entrained air in the system will adversely affect the unit’s

ability to control process temperature. The operator can
determine all entrained air is purged when no pressure
spikes are evident via the unit’s pressure gauges.

5. Adequate water fill and

pressure must be supplied
to the unit for efficient and
safe operation. To ensure
sufficient water fill, an
electrical panel mounted
pressure switch (figure
3.2A) is supplied with the
unit. A capillary line feeds
the pressure switch. If the
water supply pressure is Panel mounted pressure switch Figure 3.2A
not adequate the unit can
not be operated. This prevents operation with inadequate
water fill and pressure. If the unit is operated without
adequate water fill and pressure, the unit may be
susceptible to overheating and could result in unit damage
and/or serious injury to operating personnel.

B. ELECTRIC MOTOR PHASING (PUMP ROTATION)

1. The operator must determine the electric motor is phased

correctly. This is done by visually inspecting the rotation of
the motor shaft as outlined below. Incorrect phasing of the
unit results in poor operation and eventual damage.

a. Supply electrical power to the unit by engaging the

unit’s disconnect switch. Once the correct voltage is
supplied to the unit, the Power light on the display
will illuminate.

b. Remove the thermoformed cover panel and open

the hinged electrical cabinet panel cover. Note that
the electrical power is engaged at this point and
caution must be observed while the electrical
supply is engaged and the cabinet panel is
open.

c. Locate the electric motor (figure 3.2B) and identify

the motor shaft inside the electric motor housing.
The motor shaft can be seen through the vent slots
in the motor housing or by removing the shaft cover.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 21

d. Toggle the On / Off

switch. This will
cycle the motor
“on” and then “off”.

e. Observe the motor

shaft as it slows to
a stop to identify
the rotation.
Correct rotation is
“clockwise”, when Remove shaft cover to view Figure 3.2B
the motor shaft
viewed from the
rear of the motor. Incorrect rotation is “counter-
clockwise” when viewed from the rear of the motor.
If the shaft does not rotate when the unit is started,
the operator must identify the cause as outlined in
this manual’s troubleshooting and repair section.

f. If the unit is phased correctly, continue with the start

up procedure at step C. If the unit is phased
incorrect, continue with step 2.

2. To correct unit phase:

a. Disengage the electrical power supply to the unit at

the unit’s disconnect switch. Follow proper lockout
procedures before proceeding.

b. Once the electrical power supply is disengaged,

reverse any two power leads of the power cord at
the fused disconnect terminals.

c. Note: The operator

must reverse the
power leads at the
disconnect only and
not at the power
entry terminals on
the unit’s electrical
panel (figure 3.2C).
The unit’s internal
electrical system
wiring is phased Do not reverse power leads Figure 3.2C
correctly at the at the unit’s power entry

factory and must not be altered in the field.

3. To visually verify pump rotation, start the unit and observe

the pressure gauges. The To Process pressure will indicate
35-50 PSI more than the From Process pressure. In this
state, the pump rotation is correct (clockwise). If this is not
evident the unit is not correctly phased and should be
corrected as outlined in step 2.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 22

C. PROCESS FLOW ADJUSTMENTS

1. The operator must determine and set proper water flow rate
for the most efficient and trouble free operation.

a. Water flow rate through the process is determined

by the pressure losses in the process loop.
Generally, higher flow rates result in turbulent flow
achieving maximum temperature control and lower
maintenance.

b. If the flow rate exceeds the motor HP capacity, the

electric motor will draw excessive amps. This is a
result of the process loop’s ability to flow water at a
greater rate than can be provided by the pump. This
will eventually result in tripping the thermal motor
overload relay (overload relays open) and the unit
will shut down and illuminate the Safety and Alarm
lights on the display.

2. If an excessive flow situation

is encountered and the
motor overload circuit has
tripped, the operator must
manually reset the overload
relay before operations can
continue. This is done by
opening the electrical panel
cover, identifying the reset
lever on the overload relay
(figure 3.2D), and pushing Motor overload relays and Figure 3.2D
reset lever
the reset lever “in” until the
overloads are reset (evidenced by a “clicking” sound as the
overloads reset).

3. If a motor overload situation persists, the operator must

adjust the flow rate to match the system pressure loss
(reduce flow rate) to prevent continual tripping of the
overload relay. This procedure is outlined here:

a. Open electrical cabinet panel door. The panel cover

is hinged and held open by a support cable. Note
that the electrical power is engaged at this point
and caution must be observed while the cabinet
panel is open.

b. Identify the motor starter block. This block consists

of the motor starter contactor and the overload
relay.

c. Place an amp meter on a single power lead coming

from the overload relay.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 23

d. Locate the motor

name plate on the
pump motor housing
(figure 3.2D). The full
load amp rating for
the motor is listed on
the name plate.

e. Engage the electrical

power supply and
start the unit. Motor name plate Figure 3.2D

f. The amp meter will display the motor amps.

Compare the actual motor amps as displayed on
the amp meter to the full load amp rating as listed
on the motor name plate.

g. If the amp draw is excessive (higher than the listed

name plate amp rating), a throttling valve must be
installed in the “from process” water line. The
throttling valve can be a gate valve or a ball valve.

h. With the throttling valve installed, fully close the

valve and then engage the pump motor. Slowly
open the throttling valve and monitor the motor
amps as displayed on the amp meter until the
actual motor amps equal the listed full load amp
rating of the motor. The process flow is now
correctly adjusted. The valve should remain in this
position during operation.

6. LOW PROCESS FLOW: The minimum recommended

process flow rate is 10 GPM. Process restrictions may limit
the flow to less than 10 GPM. We recommend the addition
of bypass lines to raise the flow rate to 10 GPM. The best
place to add bypass lines are on the extra ports on the
molding machine manifold. If extra ports are not available,
add a tee in the To Process and From Process lines, install
a bypass line between the two tees with a throttling valve.
Adjust the valve for a minimum of 10 GPM.

3.3 INSTRUMENT OPERATION

A. INSTRUMENT START-UP

1. When the correct electrical power and adequate water

supply pressure are supplied to the unit, it is possible to
start the unit for temperature control duty.

2. When the electrical power supply is engaged to the unit, the

instrument (figure 3.3A) will momentarily illuminate all
indicating lights and digits on the display head. After a short
delay, the instrument will display the controller software
version number. At this time, the operator can verify that all
lights and digits are functioning properly. If the operator
determines an indicating light or digit does not illuminate,
the controller must be removed and sent to the factory for
repair.

3. The instrument will immediately check the status of the

sensor probe, the high temperature safety switch, the water
supply pressure switch and the AVTTM valve for acceptable
operating conditions. If all systems are found to be ‘ok’, the
unit will begin process temperature control operation. If a
system is not found to be ‘ok’, the instrument will prevent
process temperature control operation and will illuminate
the Safety light and Alarm lights on the display.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 25

4. Conditions that will prevent the unit from starting process

temperature control operations are (the Safety light on the
display will illuminate if one of these conditions exist):

a. Water supply pressure inadequate. The unit is

prevented from operating without adequate water
supply pressure by an electrical panel mounted
pressure switch. Sufficient water supply pressure
must be present to close the switch and consent
the safety circuit.

b. Motor overload switch opened. The electric motor

is protected from excessive flow conditions by a set
of thermal overload relays. These relays will open
(trip) and prevent electric power from reaching the
electric motor. If the overload relay is open, the
overload relay must be reset before operations can
continue. Excessive flow conditions must be
corrected immediately.

c. High temperature limit switch open. The unit is

prevented from operations with temperatures
exceeding 256°F by a “high temperature limit
switch”. This switch is installed in the “to process”
temperature sensor. If this switch is open (due to a
high temperature condition), the control circuit is not
consented and the unit cannot be started. If a high
temperature condition exists, the unit must first
“cool down” (reduce water temperature) before the
“high temperature limit switch” will automatically
reset to allow operation.

d. AVTTM fault. When power is applied, the AVTTM

valve begins a “homing process”. The valve is
turned forward and backward across a limit switch
to establish the valve position. If valve position
cannot be established, a fault will be displayed in
the Temperature display window as ULU. Refer to
section 5.3 for AVTTM service and repair instructions.

e. Temperature sensor. Failure of the To Process

temperature sensor will be indicated in the
Temperature display by a PRB ERR. Check the
sensor cable and connector for loose wires or
moisture. If no problems are found, replace the
sensor.

B. INSTRUMENT OPERATION

1. Process temperature control operation is started by

switching on the On / Off rocker switch.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 26

2. When the unit is turned on, the instrument will display the
previously selected setpoint temperature in the Setpoint
window. The setpoint temperature is displayed continuously.

3. Also, the instrument will display the To Process temperature

as read by the temperature sensor, which is mounted at the
top of the heater/discharge tank. All instrument functions
are based on this temperature.

4. If the indicated To Process temperature is less than 100°F,

the instrument will automatically open the AVTTM modulating
cooling valve for 30 seconds. This “automatic system vent
cycle” will purge entrained air from the process system to
the drain. Automatic venting is indicated by a flashing Cool
light on the display. If the automatic vent cycle does not
result in the venting of all entrained air to the drain
(evidenced by a “rattling” sound in the unit and fluctuating
pressure gauges), the operator must manually vent the
system by holding the Vent push button. If the To Process
temperature exceeds 100°F, the instrument will bypass the
automatic system vent cycle.

5. The operating setpoint temperature is selected by

depressing the Up Arrow or Down Arrow push buttons until
the preferred setpoint temperature is indicated in the
Setpoint display window. Setpoint temperatures can be
adjusted anytime during the process temperature control
cycle.

C. INSTRUMENT CONTROLS

1. UNIT ON/OFF SWITCH:

this rocker switch
engages/disengages
electrical supply to the
pump, heater and AVTTM
modulating cooling valve
(figure 3.3A).

2. VENT PUSH BUTTON: On/off rocker switch Figure 3.3A

depress and hold this push
button to initiate a forced
vent of the unit by opening
the AVTTM modulating
cooling valve. By pressing
this button, the operator
can quickly cool the unit on
demand (figure 3.3B).

3. UP ARROW: depress and

hold this push button to
increase the setpoint
Vent and arrow push buttons Figure 3.3B

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 27

temperature. Press momentarily to increment the value by

one degree. Press and hold for more than one second, the
value will increase slowly at first and then faster after about
two seconds. The setpoint control range is 32° to 250°F (0°
- 121°C) (figure 3.3B).

4. DOWN ARROW: depress and hold this push button to

decrease the setpoint temperature. Press momentarily to
increment the value by one degree. Press and hold for more
than one second, the value will increase slowly at first and
then faster after about two seconds. The setpoint control
range is 32° to 250°F (0° - 121°C) (figure 3.3B).

D. SENTRA LE STATUS INDICATING LIGHTS (figure 3.3C)

1. POWER ON: illuminates

when electrical power is
applied to the unit.

2. PUMP: illuminates when

the On / Off rocker switch is
turned “on” and the motor
pump is operating. Even
with the On / Off rocker
switch “on”, the PUMP light
will not illuminate if a safety Sentra LE status indicating lights Figure 3.3C
fault condition exists.

3. HEAT: illuminates when the instrument engages the heater

contactor. Engaging the heater contactor supplies electrical
current to the flange mounted heater in the heater/pump
discharge tank. This increases process water temperature.

4. COOL - SOLID: this light will illuminate (solid - not flashing)

when the instrument opens the AVTTM valve. Opening the
AVTTM valve will discharge a stream of process water to the
drain and allows cooling water from the water supply source
to enter the circulating system and mix with the heated
process water. This reduces process temperature.

5. COOL - FLASHING: this light will flash when the unit is

started and the process water temperature is less than
100°F and the unit is automatically venting to expel
entrained air from the system. The instrument will autovent
for approximately 30 seconds.

6. SAFETY - FLASHING: this light will illuminate (flashing)

when a safety fault exists. A fault must exist for 5 seconds
before the light flashes.The operator must isolate the cause
before operations can continue. The following items will
cause the Safety light to illuminate:

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 28

a. Water supply pressure inadequate (pressure

switch is open). The unit is prevented from
operation without adequate water supply pressure
by an electrical panel mounted pressure switch.
Sufficient water supply pressure must be present to
close the switch and consent the circuit to the
electric motor starter.

b. Motor overload switch opened. The electric motor

is protected from overload conditions (excessive
flow) by a set of thermal overload relays. These
relays will open (trip) and prevent electric power
from reaching the electric motor. If the overload
relay is open, it must be reset before operation can
continue. An excessive flow condition must be
isolated and corrected immediately.

c. High temperature limit switch open. The unit is

prevented from operations at temperatures
exceeding 256°F by a “high temperature limit
switch”. This switch is installed in the “to process”
temperature sensor. If this switch is open (due to a
high temperature condition), the control circuit is not
consented and the unit cannot be started. If a high
temperature condition exists, the unit must first
“cool down” before the “high temperature limit
switch” will automatically reset.

D. AVTTM fault. When the unit is started, the AVTTM

valve begins a “homing process”, where the valve is
turned forward and backwards across a limit switch.
This establishes the valve position. If the valve
position cannot be established, a fault will be
displayed in the Temperature window as ULU. Refer
to section 5.3 for AVTTM service and repair
instructions.

E. Temperature Sensor. Failure of the To Process

temperature sensor will be indicated in the
Temperature display window by a PRB ERR. Check
the sensor cable and connector for loose wires or
moisture. If no problems are found, replace the
sensor.

7. SAFETY - SOLID: the Safety light will be solid (not flashing)

when all safety fault conditions have been isolated and
corrected. A solid Safety light can be cleared by depressing
the Up Arrow or Down Arrow push buttons.

8. ALARM: this light illuminates when an alarm fault exists.

The three safety fault items described above (water supply
pressure switch open, motor overload switch open, high

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 29

temperature limit switch open) will trigger an Alarm light.

The single item that will trigger an Alarm light and will not
trigger a Safety light is an “out of temperature band” alarm,
which occurs when the process temperature drifts above or
below the 5° or 10° temperature deviation band as
programmed by the DIP switch settings. The factory setting
is 10°.

9. °F: illuminates when the DIP switch #8 is set to “on”. The

factory set “temperature display” is °F (see figure 3.3B).

10. °C: illuminates when the DIP switch #8 is set to “off” (see
figure 3.3B).

3.4 SHUT DOWN/DISCONNECT SEQUENCE

A. PRECAUTIONS/WARNINGS

1. The operator must precisely follow all shut down procedures

outlined in this manual. If the operator fails to do so, an
unsafe condition can develop resulting in damage to the unit
or injury and/or death to operating personnel.

2. When disconnecting the unit from the process system, the

operator must determine the unit’s process temperature is
at ambient or below 85°F and all system pressure is
relieved and the unit’s pressure gauges read “0”. Injury or
death to operating personnel and damage to the unit could
result if a hot and pressurized unit is disconnected from the
system.

B. UNIT SHUT DOWN (without system disconnect)

1. Adjust the setpoint temperature to 32°F. The instrument will

disengage the heater contactor (if engaged) and fully open
the AVTTM valve. Operate the unit until process temperature
as indicated on the Temperature display is at the ambient
water supply temperature or below 85°F.

2. Stop operations by pressing

the Stop push button.

3. Disengage the water supply

to the unit by closing the
water supply valve (if
installed) or by turning off the
water supply source at the
central control point. If any
residual pressure is evident
open the pressure relief Pressure relief valve Figure 3.4A
valve (figure 3.4A) to
dissipate.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 30

4. Disengage the power at the fused disconnect. Determine

the Power light on the display is OFF.

5. Before disconnecting and removing the process circuitry, be

certain all system pressure is vented and the pressure
gauges read “0”. When the process circuitry is disconnected
and removed from the unit, a small amount of water will be
discharged from the unit. Please note that this water should
not be warm or pressurized if all shut down and
disconnecting procedures were followed. Remaining
process water can be discharged by removing the pump
casing drain plug.

4.1 UNIT WILL NOT START (POWER LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED)

A. One or more fuses at the main disconnect device are open (blown).
Determine continuity at each fuse. If continuity is not determined,
replace the fuse. Then determine cause of blown fuse.

B. Control circuit transformer fuse is open (blown). Determine

continuity at the control circuit transformer fuse. If continuity is not
determined, replace the fuse.

4.2 UNIT WILL NOT START (POWER LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED)

A. Power supply is ON. The operator can determine that electrical

power supply to the unit is “on” by an illuminated Power light on the
display. Even with the main power supply on, the unit is prevented
from operating by one of the following conditions:

1. Water supply pressure inadequate. (pressure switch is

open). The unit is prevented from operation without
adequate water supply pressure by the electrical panel
mounted pressure switch. Sufficient water supply pressure
must be present to close the switch.

2. Motor overload switch opened. The electric motor is

protected from overload conditions by a set of thermal
overload relays. These relays will open (trip). If the overload
relay is open, it must be reset before operation can
continue. An excessive flow condition must be isolated and
corrected immediately.

3. High temperature limit switch open. The unit is prevented

from operations at temperatures exceeding 256°F by a
“high temperature limit switch”. This switch is installed in the
To Process temperature sensor. If this switch is open (due
to a high temperature condition), the unit cannot be started
and must “cool down” before the “high temperature limit
switch” will automatically reset.

4.3 UNIT STOPS

A. The operator should determine the main power supply to the unit is
ON by an illuminated Power light on the display. With the main
power supply “on”, the unit will be prevented from starting by the
following conditions:

1. Water supply pressure inadequate. (pressure switch is

2. Motor overload switch opened. The electric motor is

protected from overload conditions by a set of thermal

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 34

overload relays. These relays will open (trip). If the overload

relay is open, it must be reset before operation can
continue. An excessive flow condition must be isolated and
corrected immediately.

3. High temperature limit switch open. The unit is prevented

B. The operator should check the Power light on the display. The
operator should check the following conditions:

1. One or more fuses at the main disconnect device are open

(blown). Determine continuity at each fuse. If continuity is
not determined, replace the fuse. Then determine cause of
blown fuse.

2. Control circuit transformer fuse is open (blown). Determine

continuity at the control circuit transformer fuse. If continuity
is not determined, replace the fuse.

4.4 UNIT OVERHEATS

A. This is evidenced by To Process temperatures consistently above

the selected setpoint temperature. Overheating is also evidenced by
a To Process temperature that continues to escalate above the
setpoint temperature with no apparent cooling action, even though
the Cool light is on. Extreme overheating is evidenced by To
Process temperatures over 256°F. The operator should check for
the following conditions:

1. Inadequate water supply pressure. The unit must be

supplied with adequate water flow to provide cooling when
required. The minimum pressure differential between the
water supply and drain to achieve full cooling capacity is 10
PSI. The minimum water supply pressure is 20 PSI. A drop
in water supply pressure operation will cause the pump to
stop and a safety fault to be displayed.

2. AVTTM valve defective. The instrument opens and closes

the AVTTM cooling valve in incremental steps between 0 to
100% as prescribed by the current process load. A
continual discharge stream of process water to drain is
present under most operating conditions (except at full heat-
up). This allows the unit to maintain virtual straight-line
control of process water temperature. If the AVTTM valve
becomes clogged with process water debris or scaled with

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 35

mineral deposits, its operation is hindered or fully prevented

and adequate process water discharge to drain is
prevented. The operator must remove the AVTTM valve and
remove any loose debris. Massive debris or scale deposits
may necessitate replacement of the AVTTM valve. The
procedure for servicing the AVTTM valve is outlined in
Section 5.3 of this manual.

3. Drain line obstruction. The operator must determine if the

drain line is obstructed by the following conditions. Section
2.4 outlines the parameters of correct drain line installation.

a. Closed drain line valve. An installed but partially

or fully closed valve in the drain line prevents full
discharge to drain and contributes to an
overheating condition. The operator should
determine the drain line is open.

b. High drain back pressure. Pressurized plant drain

lines will prevent flow to drain if the differential
between the water supply pressure and the drain
line pressure is inadequate. The factory
recommended minimum differential is 20 psi. If the
differential is less than the factory recommendation,
plant service personnel should take measures to
reduce drain line pressure.

4. Instrument defective. The instrument is designed and

manufactured exclusively by Advantage. The instrument is
life-tested and found to be field reliable. However, in the
case where the instrument is determined to be defective,
the operator must remove the assembly according to
instructions outlined in section 5.8 and return the assembly
to the factory. The instrument is not a field serviceable
component.

4.5 UNIT UNDERHEATS

A. This is evidence by operations with To Process temperatures

consistently below the selected setpoint temperature.

1. Process water leakage. When the instrument engages the

heater to elevate process temperature, the input of heat into
the process can be offset by a defective AVTTM valve. If the
AVTTM valve is defective, it may pass a larger than required
stream to drain, thus providing unwanted cooling. A
defective AVTTM valve should be repaired immediately.

2. Heater element failure. A failed heater element will not

input adequate heat into the process to elevate the process
water temperature. The operator must check the amps at
the heater contactor with the contactor energized. Zero

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 36

amps at the contactor indicate a failed heater or burnt wire

connections. The operator should remove the failed heater
and replace with a new heater according to the procedure
outlined in section 5.2.

3. Unit capacity too low. This occurs when the process

requires more heat than the unit is capable of producing.
The only option in such cases is to install a unit with an
adequate heater KW rating for the load.

4. Instrument defective. The instrument is designed and

4.6 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE LEAKS

A. The unit has a 150 psi pressure relief valve mounted in the cooling
cylinder. If the valve is found to be leaking, the operator should
check the following:

1. Water supply pressure exceeds 75 psi. The unit is

designed to operate with water supply NOT exceeding 75
psi. See section 2.3 paragraph B for specific water supply
pressure requirements at corresponding setpoint
temperatures. If the plant water supply pressure exceeds 75
psi, the pressure relief valve may leak. Static water supply
pressure can be determined at the unit’s location by reading
the unit’s 0-160 PSI pressure gauges when the unit’s motor
pump is off. If the water supply pressure at the unit’s
location exceeds 75 PSI, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed in the water supply line. The factory recommended
‘regulated pressure out’ is 55 PSI. Refer to section 7.4 for
regulator installation drawing.

2. Back flow prevention device in water supply line. If a back flow

prevention device (check valve, pressure regulator, closed valve) is
installed in the water supply line, increased pressures from thermal
expansion are unable to move into the water supply line. This will
increase the unit’s internal pressure causing the pressure relief
valve to leak. Refer to section 7.4 for regulator installation drawing.

3. Valve contamination. The pressure relief valve may become

contaminated with water debris causing the valve not to close
properly. If this is the case, flushing the valve for a moment will
cleanse the seat and allow it to work properly. If flushing the valve
does not remedy the leaking, the valve must be replaced.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 37

4. Extreme internal system pressure. If the internal pressure in the

Sentra unit is elevated, the pressure relief valve will leak as a safety
measure to dissipate excessive pressure. If this is the case, the
operator must determine why the system internal pressure is
excessive and correct the condition.

4.7 COOLING VALVE FAULT

A. AVTTM FAULT. When power is applied, the AVTTM valve begins a

‘homing process’. The valve is turned forward and backward across
a limit switch to establish the valve position. If valve position cannot
be established, a fault will be displayed in the Temperature display
window as ULU. Refer to section 5.3 for AVTTM service and repair
instructions.

5.2 HEATING CYLINDER REPLACEMENT

A. The heater is a flange mounted

assembly and inserted into the cast
cylinder tank and secured by 4
bolts (figure 5.2A).

B. The operator can determine if the

heater requires replacement when
the heater draws “0” amps or when
a continuity check of each heater
element is negative.
Heater Figure 5.2A
C. Generally, heaters fail due to low
water flow, low water pressure, air
in the system, or defective heating elements.

D. The operator should follow this procedure to replace the heater:

1. Disengage operations and be certain all system pressure is

relieved and the unit’s pressure gauges read “0”.

2. Disengage main power supply. Verify the Power light on the

display is “off”.

3. Remove the lift-off access panel and set aside

4. Drain machine. The

machine can be drained by
removing the pump casing

5.3 AVTTM COOLING VALVE SERVICE

A. The AVTTM cooling valve is a two component assembly, consisting of

the motor/gearbox and valve assembly, mated with a machined
aluminum coupling. The AVTTM valve assembly is sheltered by an
thermoformed drip cover (figure 5.3A). The drip cover is secured by
two nuts and can be removed. When removed, the AVTTM valve
components can be viewed (figure 5.3B).

Figure 5.3B

B. The conditions that require servicing of the AVTTM modulating valve

are as follows:

1. Motor/gearbox assembly defective. This condition is

evidenced by non-movement of the motor when prompted
by the instrument. This is evident when power is engaged to

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 45

the instrument. The instrument will turn the motor in an

attempt to find “home base”. If no movement is observed,
most likely the motor/gearbox assembly is defective. To be
certain, remove the motor as outlined below, maintain the
electrical connection and supply power to the instrument. If
the motor does not turn, the motor/gearbox should be
replaced. If the motor does turn, the operator can determine
the valve assembly is defective.

2. Valve assembly defective. The valve assembly may

become fouled with process debris or the internal
components may be defective.

C. The components of the AVTTM valve can be serviced separately. To

begin the AVTTM valve service procedure, proceed with steps 1 - 5:

1. Disengage process operations and verify all system

pressure is relieved and the unit’s pressure gauges read “0”.

2. Disengage main power supply and verify the Power light on

the display is “off”.

3. Remove the lift-off access panel and set aside.

4. Disconnect the valve wiring harness.

5. Remove the AVTTM valve’s drip cover.

D. To service the motor driver/gearbox components, continue with

steps 6 - 12:

6. The motor/gearbox assembly is mounted to the valve

bracket and is secured by 2 mounting screws.

NOTE: it will also be necessary to remove the 2 screws that

secure the micro switch to completely remove the motor
since they are hard wired together.

7. Remove the 2 mounting screws. The motor and gearbox will

now be loose. Carefully separate the motor/gearbox from
the attached coupling from the valve assembly.

8. Align the motor/gearbox and coupling to the valve assembly.

9. Align the motor/gearbox assembly mounting holes to the

holes in the cooling cylinder. Replace the 2 mounting
screws and loosely install the microswitch screws.

10. Reconnect the wiring harness. Home base is the reference

point from which the controller is able to open the valve
incrementally. If the unit is not able to find home, a valve
fault “ULU” will appear in the Temperature display window.
Adjust the home switch to clear the fault.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 46

11. Adjusting the home switch. Apply power. The coupling

should begin to turn. When the lobe on the coupling is
directly under the roller for the microswitch, turn off the
power. Adjust the microswitch so that the roller fully
depresses the microswitch. Turn on the power and the valve
should turn forward and backwards a few times and then
stop at the home position. The valve light should be green
and you may begin operation. See diagram on next page.

NOTE: Important... the valve stem should be in this

position (as indicated in the diagram) and the valve
should be CLOSED. If the valve is open, manually turn
the square stem 90° so that the valve is closed.

Coupling

E. To service the valve components, continue with steps 13 - 20:

12. Be certain the unit is totally depressurized with the unit’s

pressure gauges reading “0”. The unit should be drained if
possible.

13. The valve assembly is a ball valve specially designed only

to work with the AVTTM motor. The valve assembly is
secured to the cooling cylinder by a top plate and 4
mounting screws. The drain connection originates at the
valve top plate with a brass elbow and close nipple fitting.
The connection can be maintained when servicing the
valve.

14. Remove the 4 mounting screws. The top plate, mounting

bolts, valve assembly and the mounting plate with the
attached micro-switch will now be loose. Carefully separate
the valve from the motor/gearbox.

15. At this step, the valve can be rebuilt or replaced. To rebuild

the valve, order PN 8764939, and install new stem packing
O-ring, seal rings, and seats (see diagram below). Once the
value is back together, continue with step 17:

16. Aligned the valve assembly coupling to the motor/gearbox

and place on the cooling cylinder. A gasket or seal is not
required.

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 47

17. Replace the top plate, the micro switch mounting plate and
the 4 mounting bolts. Tighten the 4 mounting bolts
alternating to the opposite bolts.

18. Once power is reapplied, the instrument will align the AVTTM
modulating valve to “home base”. Home base is the
reference point from which the controller is able to open the
valve incrementally. Process operations can resume. If the
unit is not able to find home, a valve fault ULU will appear in
the temperature display. Readjust the home switch to clear
the fault. Adjust the home switch as needed (as outlined in
Step 11).

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 48

5.4 PROBE CALIBRATION

A. The temperature probe (figure

5.4A) is a temperature transducer.
The transducer is embedded into a
threaded bulb well. The transducer
converts the temperature of the
water into a proportional current
output, which the microprocessor
controller reads, displays, and
bases it controlling functions. The
gain is automatically calibrated
within the microprocessor Typical sensor probe Figure 5.4A

electronics. The zero adjustment

potentiometer is located on the CPU.

B. The temperature transducer and instrument circuitry is very stable.

A small drift may occur over time. To ensure correct temperature
reading, calibrate the probe annually or per your facility calibration
standards. Operation in high humidity and high vibration
environments may require more frequent calibration.

C. The operator should follow this procedure to calibrate the probe.

6.1 MECHANICAL SYSTEM

A. MOTOR/PUMP ASSEMBLY. The unit pump is a multi-component

assembly serving to circulate water through the process system.
The pump will increase the system pressure between 35 - 50 PSI
over the plant water supply pressure. The pump is
driven by an electrical motor. Pump Casing

1. Pump casing. The pump

casing is an exclusive
design. The casing is cast
of iron and flanged to
accept the heater/discharge
and cooling tanks. The
casing is the support
element in the pump/motor
assembly and is secured to
the unit base (figure 6.1A).
Electric Pump Figure 6.1A
2. Pump adapter. The pump Motor Adapter

adapter is the mating element

between the pump casing the electric motor. The adapter is
machined to accept the pump seal flush line. The stationary
pump seal member is set in the seal cavity of the pump
adapter (figure 6.1A).

3. Electrical motor. The

electric motor is a dual
voltage, 3 phase, ODP
motor. The motor serves to
turn the pump impeller
creating process flow
(figure 6.1A).

4. Impeller. The impeller is

custom designed for the
unit and creates the higher
flow (gpm) from standard Impeller Figure 6.1B
HP ratings (figure 6.1B).

5. Pump Seal. The pump seal

prevents water leakage
from the pump adapter. The
seal is made up of three
items: the stationary
member (seated in the seal
cavity), the rotating
member (placed on the
motor shaft) and the
tension spring (figure 6.1C
shows the stationary
member only). Stationary member Figure 6.1C

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 62

6. Pump seal flush. The

pump seal flush is a flow
diverter which serves to
“cleanse” the pump seal
assembly of debris which
may lodge on the seal and
create a leak (figure 6.1D).

B. HEATER. The heater is a dual

voltage, flange mounted immersion
heater set in the pump discharge Seal flush tube Figure 6.1D
cylinder. The heater elements have
a stainless steel sheath. Electrical
supply to the heater is provided via
a mercury contactor (figure 6.1E).

C. HEATER/PUMP DISCHARGE
CYLINDER. The heater/pump
discharge cylinder is a custom cast
tank. The tank is flanged mounted
to the pump casing. Reinforced
machined bosses accept the “to
process/high temperature limit”
sensor probe and the “to process” Heater Figure 6.1E
Discharge tank
connection (figure 6.1E).
AVT valve

D. COOLING CYLINDER. The cooling

cylinder is a custom cast tank. The
tank is flanged mounted to the
pump casing. Reinforced machined
bosses accept the pressure relief
valve, the “from process” pressure
gauge and pressure switch
capillary connector, AVTTM
modulating cooling valve, the “water
supply connection” and the “from
process” connection (figure 6.1F). Figure 6.1F

E. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. The pressure relief valve

is a 150 psi relief valve serving to discharge excessive unit pressure
to atmosphere. The valve can be manually activated by lifting the
actuating lever (figure 6.1F).

F. AVTTM VALVE. The AVTTM valve is a patented Advantage design

using a motor/gearbox assembly to open in minute increments from
0 to 100% a custom ball valve assembly. The AVTTM valve is
controlled by custom programming of the instrument (figure 6.1F).

G. PRESSURE GAUGES. “To” and “from” process pressure gauges

display the system pressure. “To process” pressure originates at the
heat/pump discharge cylinder. “From process” pressure originates at
the cooling cylinder. The gauges accurately display system
pressures from 0 to 160 PSI (figure 6.1G).

ADVANTAGE ENGINEERING, INC. Page: 63

H. CASTERS. The unit is mounted on

4 swivel ball bearing casters. The
casters allow the unit to be portable

8.3 INTERPRETATION OF PROCESS PRESSURE GAUGES

A. READ AVAILABLE WATER

PRESSURE AT UNIT’S
LOCATION. When a temperature
control unit is attached to the
process with the water supply on
and the pump off, both gauges will
read the water supply pressure at
the unit’s location (figure 7.3A).

B. READ PRESSURE DROP

ACROSS PROCESS (Δ P). With
Pressure gauges Figure 7.3A
the pump on, the “to process”
pressure gauge will rise to read the
sum of the water supply pressure and pump generated pressure.
The “from process” pressure gauge reads the effect of water supply
pressure and pump suction pressure. The difference between the to
and from process gauges is the pump generated circulating
pressure... which is also equal to the pressure drop across the
process.

C. PUMP ROTATION INDICATION. If the pump is running, and both

gauges are “close” to same value, it is likely that the pump is
rotating backward, or the pump is generating such a high flow that
an overload condition will result.

D. PUMP MOTOR OVERLOAD CONDITION. If the Δ P is low with the

pump rotating correctly, then the flow rate is high, which probably
will result in a motor overload. Refer to the representative pump
curve below.

E. WATER HAMMER (COMPETITIVE SOLENOID VALVE UNITS). On

competitive mold temperature controllers, when Δ P gauges are
supplied, the water hammer effect of on/off solenoid valves can be
seen. When the solenoid valve is open, both to and from process
pressure gauges will fall as the system depressurizes. When the
valve closes, there will be a momentary spike that will be seen on
both pressure gauges, then they will settle back to normal Δ P
values. This spike is called “water hammer”.

8.4 OPERATION OF MOLD PURGE

A. Advantage supplies an optional MOLD PURGE kit for Sentra® temperature

control units. The mold purge kit contains several solenoid valves and check
valves. When activated and supplied with compressed air, the mold purge
kit will expel process water from the mold to the central water supply or
drain. Advantage mold purge kits are supplied as a factory installed option
or a field retrofitted kit.

B. The operation of the mold purge is as follows (see illustration)

1. Stop the pump, maintain electrical

power to unit.

2. Close the water supply ball valve.

3. Connect a regulated air supply to

mold purge compressed air
connection.

Note: air supply should be

regulated approximately 10 PSI
above drain line pressure.

4. Activate mold purge with button

located on electrical cabinet.

5. When water is purged disconnect air

supply.

6. Depress and hold vent button

(approximately 30 seconds to release
air pressure.

7. Disconnect power to unit.

8.5 CLOSED CIRCUIT OPERATION

A. Standard Sentra ‘SK’ mold temperature controllers are supplied as

‘open-circuit’ units. ‘SK’ units can be used on ‘closed-circuit’
applications with the installation of the ‘SE’ kit.

B. Factory installed ‘SE’ kits place a heat exchanger into system to

separate the cooling water loop from the process circulation loop.
Cooling water from plant water supplies circulate only through the
‘tube’ side of the heat exchanger. Process water circulates through
the ‘shell’ side of the heat exchanger.

C. To control process water

temperature, a
microprocessor controlled
AVTTM modulating valve is
installed on the heat
exchanger drain line. TO PROCESS

D. The closed circuit kit will

add 10” to the overall height
of the unit. The width and
depth do not change,
although the length of
connection hose extending
from the back of the unit
must be accounted for.

8.6 SPI COMMANDS

A. INTRODUCTION: In 1987 a group of member companies of the

Society of the Plastics Industries began development of a
communication protocol for use by their processing and auxiliary
equipment. Their goal was to allow the exchange of information
between various pieces of equipment from different manufacturers
to be simple and reliable. The result of their work was released in
1990 and has made the interconnection of equipment much easier
and straightforward. There are now over 40 companies that offer the
SPI Protocol in their products. This document details the
implementation of the SPI Protocol available in the SENTRA ‘SK’
temperature controllers and MAXIMUM ‘MK’ portable chillers with
HE instruments.

B. PROTOCOL BASICS: The SPI Protocol is described by a 2 part

specification. The largest portion of the SPI Protocol specification
deals with how basic information is exchanged between equipment.
The second part of the specification details the actual pieces of
information exchanged using the protocol. Items such as Process
Temperature, Process Setpoint and Process Status are detailed in
this part. This FYI will list the commands that are supported by
ADVANTAGE equipment.

C. EQUIPMENT SETUP: The setup of equipment to be connected in

an SPI Protocol network is simple. Each device must have a unique
address for its device type and it must use the same data transfer
rate as the other pieces of equipment in the network. There are
many acceptable ways used to ‘set’ the device address and data
rate. ADVANTAGE equipment provides access to the information via
the front panel operators and displays. Other manufacturers may
use internal DIP switches or jumpers.

A typical cell may be configured as follows:

Data Transfer Rate: 9600 bits per second (bps)

Mold Temperature Controller (Qty 2): Addresses 1 and 2
Chiller (Qty 1): Address 1

Note in the above example that different device types may have the
same address. This is because the SPI Protocol uses the device
type as part of its internal address.

D. NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING: Troubleshooting a network is

best done by verifying the setup of each piece of equipment and
insuring that the network is installed with the correct electrical
interconnection. Here are some basic things to do if equipment isn’t
‘talking’ as expected.

1. Verify that each piece of equipment is properly grounded to

its power source.

Service Department Fax: 317-885-8683

2. Inspect cables inside and outside the electrical cabinet.
Repair or replace as necessary.The cable scheme used by
most manufacturers allows the communication signals to
‘pass through’ each piece of equipment. Therefore, when a
piece of equipment is disconnected from the middle of the
network, all the equipment ‘after’ that one will be
disconnected, too. If a piece of equipment is being
permanently removed, the device cables should be
rearranged at the molding machine to reconnect the other
equipment.

3. Check the Data Transfer Rate and Address of each piece of

equipment. For example, if both Temperature Controllers
have the same address, they will both try to ‘talk’ at the
same time and garble each other’s data.

4. Verify the network is properly terminated and that it is

configured as a ‘multi-drop’. This is best achieved by
following the molding machine manufacturer’s installation
instructions and use extension cables provided by them or
us.

5. Attach each device, singly, to the molding machine and see

if it ‘talks’. Add additional devices until a problem is seen.
