The Tempro Plus D series is known for its "Plus" features, which include advanced touchscreen controls and reinforced components for industrial durability. Wittmann Tempro Plus D 360 Manual

Controller Accuracy: Microprocessor-based control with ± 0.2 °C accuracy.

Heating Power: Typically 9 kW to 12 kW as standard, with options for larger heaters (up to 36 kW in XL models) for rapid preheating.

Cooling System: Available with direct or indirect cooling. Direct cooling offers exceptionally high capacity for rapid thermal reduction.

Pumps: Maintenance-free magnetically coupled pumps are standard for pressurized units, preventing leaks and ensuring long-term reliability. 2. Operation and Control Interface

The unit features a 5.7" color touchscreen powered by Windows CE, providing intuitive navigation. Wittmann Tempro Plus D 360 (likely referring to

Visual Monitoring: A mold symbol on the screen changes color based on temperature status: Green (within tolerance), Red (too hot), and Blue (too cold).

Quick Selection: Frequently used operating modes can be accessed via touch fields at the bottom of the screen.

Smart Logging: Users can export error logs to a USB stick. To access the error buffer, navigate to the Service tab and enter the default user password '1220'. TEMPRO MOld TEMPERaTuRE COnTROllERs - WITTMANN Group

Note: The direct cooling principle (D series) injects cold water directly into the hot circulation loop via a venturi ejector, eliminating the need for a separate plate heat exchanger. This design reduces lag time by 60% compared to indirect cooling units.

5.3 Critical Parameters to Set (From the Manual)

  1. Setpoint (SP): The desired mold temperature.
  2. High Temp Alarm Limit: Usually set to SP + 15°C. The manual warns against setting this too close to SP, as overshoot during initial heat-up will trigger false alarms.
  3. Cooling Differential: Factory set at 3°C. This means if ACT > SP by 3°C, cooling valves open 100%. For sensitive molds, the manual suggests reducing this to 1.5°C.
  4. Pump Mode: "Continuous" (recommended) vs. "Cycle-dependent."

Issue: Slow Heating

If you have lost your physical copy, Wittmann Battenfeld provides digital backups. The manual is usually split into four documents:

  1. Operating Manual (Operation): For daily use and parameter setting.
  2. Spare Parts List: Exploded diagrams for ordering components.
  3. Electrical Wiring Diagram: For certified electricians only.
  4. EU Declaration of Conformity: Safety and CE marking.

Why you need the manual physically on site: The manual contains the specific wiring color codes for your unit’s build year. Wittmann sometimes upgrades solenoid valve suppliers (e.g., Burkert vs. SMC), which changes the diagnostic pin-outs.

1. Unit Overview

The Wittmann Tempro Plus D 360 is a compact, microprocessor-controlled temperature control unit (TCU) designed for processing plastics (injection molding, blow molding, extrusion). The "D" series typically denotes "Dual" or specific heating/cooling configurations, while "360" generally refers to the heating capacity in kilowatts (approx. 12kW to 36kW depending on specific voltage configurations, often 36kW in this model designation) or the pump motor size.
