3.1.1. Power Pack
Because the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold Profiler is powered by a removable Power Pack, it is
important to make sure it is charged and operating properly. When connected to a
computer, the software displays the voltage of the Power Pack on the Status bar. Refer to
topic Software>Features>Status Bar for more information.
When the Power Pack needs to be re-charged use the charger supplied with the kit and
the instructions in topic Basics>Setup>Charging the Power Pack. It is also
recommended that a spare Power Pack be ordered so that one is charging while the other
one is being used.
3.1.2. Calendar/Clock Battery
The SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold Profiler has another battery that powers an internal calendar
and clock. This battery is not rechargeable and has no status indicator. The expected
battery life is about 2-3 years.
If the calendar and clock does not seem to operate (it resets itself), the battery
may be discharged. For information on replacing the calendar/clock battery
refer to topic Service>Changing the Calendar/Clock Battery.
3.1.3. Sensors
Up to six sensors can be attached to the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold profiler per experiment. A
set of six 0.010” K-Type Color-Indexed thermocouple sensors are included in the Kit.
Plug the sensor connector into the desired SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold profiler channel. The
software helps keep a record of the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold profiler channel number
associated with the location and the type of sensor. The Color-Indexed thermocouples
correlate to the channels in the software so the sensors can be easy identified.
ECD also offers a wide selection of sensors and adaptors to meet the needs of
many applications. For more information about optional sensors for specific
applications, refer to topic How to Get Additional Help to contact ECD.
Thermocouple Organizer Clip:
The T/C organizer clip allows six sensors connectors to be combined so that they can be
plugged in and removed as a unit.
3.1.4. Computer Interface Cable
A Cable is included in the hardware package that connects the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold
Profiler to a computer serial port.
The SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold Profiler requires a four-pin connector and a nine-pin for the
computer serial port.

4.1. Setup
The Setup topic offers a brief description of the system hardware configuration.
4.1.1. Charging the Power Pack
Because the M.O.L.E. Profiler is powered by a rechargeable Power Pack, it is important
that it is charged and operating properly prior to performing every experiment. When
using a MEGAM.O.L.E.® or SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold a spare removable Power Pack may
be ordered so one is charging while the other one is being used.
4.1.1.1. SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold
To charge the Power Pack:
1) Remove the Power Pack by separating from the unit.
2) Plug the transformer end of the charger into a (60Hz 120VAC, in North America) or
(230VAC) wall outlet and the connector end into the Power Pack.
A completely discharged Power Pack takes about 14 hours to be fully
charged.
3) When the charging cycle is complete, connect the Power Pack to the M.O.L.E.
Profiler. When the Power Pack is first connected, the LED will flash once to
indicate that the M.O.L.E. Profiler is ready to collect data. If the LED flashes more
than once, a complete reset has occurred and the M.O.L.E. Profiler will need to be
re-configured. (Refer to the software manual for detailed configuration
information).
The Power Pack can be charged continuously whenever the M.O.L.E.
Profiler is not being used, however, if the M.O.L.E. profiler is going to sit
idle for five days or more, it should be removed from the charger.
4.1.1.2. SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold 2
To charge the internal Power Pack:
1) Insert the USB computer interface cable into a computer USB port and the other
end into the Data/Charging Port.
A completely discharged Power Pack takes about 8 hours to be fully
charged. For quick charges, it can be charged for 15 minutes allowing
one 10 minute data run to be performed.
The Power Pack can be charged continuously whenever the M.O.L.E.

4.1.2.2.1. Wireless RF Option Setup
To connect the wireless RF option:
Prior to wireless RF communication, the M.O.L.E. Profiler must first be
connected to a computer through the USB port. This allows the software to
register the serial number of the M.O.L.E. Profiler. Registering the serial
number ensures that other M.O.L.E. RF transmissions in close proximity to
each other will not interfere preventing others from controlling your M.O.L.E.
Profiler without your consent. (Refer to Communications Setup for more
information)
1) Insert the Wirless RF Transceiver into an available USB port and the Antenna to
the M.O.L.E. Profiler. The first time the Transceiver is connected to a computer,
the drivers will automatically be installed. The operating system displays the
installation status on the taskbar.
The M.O.L.E. Profiler is designed to work with the included antenna ECD P/N:
E51-0386-11 only. Never make any changes or modifications to the Wireless
RF components. Such changes are not expressly approved by ECD and could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The Transceiver can either be connected directly to a computer USB port or a
USB extension cable. Using an USB extension cable can be a simple way to
get the Transceiver to a better reception area without moving the PC. No
matter which method is used, keep wires and other metal objects away from
the Transceiver.

Tools Commands>Wizards Menu>Download Data>Wireless RF Communications
to start the real-time wireless data collection.
Wireless RF communication tips (MEGAM.O.L.E.® & SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold 2):
RF signals come and go as either the M.O.L.E. Profiler moves through the oven or the
Transceiver is moved around like FM radio static as you drive in your car. Moving a few
inches in any direction can turn a low signal strength to high signal strength. This gets
worse as the Transceiver gets further from the M.O.L.E. Profiler, to a point where no
position works.
When setting up the Wireless RF system, the transceiver should be placed as close to
the machine as practical. A standard USB extension cable can be used to move the
Transceiver closer to the machine or up and away from metal or other interference
objects.
Typically if the Transceiver is 3 meters [10 feet] away from the M.O.L.E. Profiler in a
machine any location in the room, reception should be fine. Reception is also often a bit
better when the Transceiver is perpendicular to the direction of travel through the
machine. Metal objects such as carts, walls, or other equipment in the room will impede
transmission.
The transmitting Antenna and its proximity to metal can have a big affect. Care should be
taken to make sure the Antenna is not laying on metal parts in the machine or barrier box.
Keeping the Antenna straight is best.

14) Pass the thermally protected M.O.L.E. Profiler and test assembly through the
machine.
It is highly recommended that protective gloves are used when retrieving the
thermal barrier from the oven and when opening the thermal barrier.
15) As the test assembly and M.O.L.E. Profiler emerge from the machine, carry the
test assembly with sensors attached and the M.O.L.E. Profiler in the Thermal
barrier to a table or flat surface.
If a sensor is removed before the M.O.L.E. Profiler has stopped collecting
data, the data for that channel might become distorted.
16) Open the Thermal barrier and if the Record LED is still flashing this means the
M.O.L.E. Profiler is still recording and it must be stopped.
17) Remove the M.O.L.E. Profiler from the Thermal barrier. Handle it carefully, as the
case may still be warm.
18) Disconnect the sensors from the M.O.L.E. Profiler and place it near the computer.
19) Press the OK button on the M.O.L.E. Profiler and wait for the GO or NO-GO
indication (RED or GREEN). By pressing the OK button, the M.O.L.E. Profiler
analyzes the most recent data run to verify the Target 10 Specifications applied to
the previously selected data run.
Only the MEGAM.O.L.E.®, V-M.O.L.E.® and SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold 2 are
equipped with the OK button. When using the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold please
skip the previous step.
20) Connect the M.O.L.E. Profiler to the computer and click the Next command button.
21) Select the desired data run and then click the Next command button to read the
data run from the M.O.L.E. Profiler.
This step of the wizard allows the user to remove a selected data run from the
M.O.L.E. Profiler by either selecting the Delete After Reading check box or
selecting the Delete command button and removing it before downloading.
This feature is not available for the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold Thermal Profiler as it
does not have the ability to store more than one data run.
•
When using a SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold Thermal Profiler, prior to reading the data
run, the software prompts the user to select the sensor type for the active
channels. When finished select the OK command button to proceed.
22) When the data run has been downloaded, the software prompts the user to save
the verification data run file (*.XMG).
When saving a data run (*.XMG) to a different file directory other than the
current Working directory, the software automatically sets the new file
directory as the current Working Directory. This process does not delete any
data run files in the previously set Working directory and can be quickly
accessed using the Recent Working Directory command on the File menu.
23) When finished, click the Save command button.
24) Click the Next command button to show the Target 10-OK results.
25) Analyze the data by selecting the Target10-OK tab on the Profile Tab.
