COUNTERVIEW® MOLD COUNTER CVe Monitor ® Alert Mode Once data is initialized using the OnDemand software, users will be alerted to different modes on the device: Preventive Maintenance During initialization, the initial preventive maintenance point and the PM interval is entered and saved onto the CVe Monitor. Then, when the PM is within 10% of the initial point, the display will flash “PM Due” as shown at right. Users can then ‘snooze’ the alert by holding for 2 seconds, returning it to Total Cycles. When a PM is performed using OnDemand software and noted as such, the date/time will be written to the CVe Monitor and then the alert is stopped until reaching 10% of the next PM point. If no PM is performed, the CVe Monitor will continue to alert the user until snoozed or the PM is ultimately recorded. Low Battery The CVe Monitor has a battery life of approximately 4.5 years in typical molding environments where temperatures are controlled. When the battery is within 6 months of its expected end of life, the display will flash as shown at right. Users can then ‘snooze’ the alert by holding for 2 seconds, returning it to the Total Cycles. The alert will appear every 30 days as a reminder to transfer the
stored data to a new CVe Monitor. Retrofitting and Removal Users can view additional data by double-clicking the button on the monitor: Retrofit CVe for CounterView Tools
During initialization, users can start the cycle count with the tool’s actual cycle count from an existing CounterView or known cycles from maintenance records. Once entered, the user can see the total cycles for the tool, which includes the count of the cycles from the counter and those run with the CVe Monitor. In the screen at right, the tool had 1,000,000 cycles on it originally, but ran 507,288 cycles after the CVe Monitor was installed. Removal Monitoring When the CVe Monitor is removed from the tool for any reason (i.e. cleaning) the pins on the back of the device will record an event of its removal. After viewing the retrofit number above, the display will move into the screen shown at right, designating the number of times the monitor was removed from the mold.
Above: OnDemand software allows users to view data and keep a record of reports run, outlining the reason for the report generation including PM, general queries, revision changes, and repairs. Notes can be included and OnDemand records the person generating the document for accurate history. CVe Monitor is a registered trademark of AST Technology.
