8.3 Cross-Talk Screen
Use the Cross-Talk screen to see how much heat transfer occurs between the zones in the
mold. Refer to Figure 8-3. A zone in a correctly wired mold with no thermal isolation issues
will show 100%, while all other zones will show 0%.
For example, Zone 9 completes the test and shows 100%, but Zone 10 shows 60%. If Zone 9
increased its temperature by 10
° during the test, Zone 10 increased 60% of the 10°, or 6°,
without added energy applied.
The column information of the Cross-Talk screen is described in Table 8-4.
