Introduction: Electroformed signage, as a representative of high-end signage, uses electrodeposition technology to produce signage products that have higher accuracy, smoother, brighter, more resistant to aging, harder, more scratched, and more stable than traditional signage products. The advantages such as simplicity are obvious. However, in the process of using electroformed signs, we often encounter such problems. Here are some common problems and main reasons for electroforming signs:
First, easy to break
1. The softness is not enough, because the humectant in the medicine is not enough;
2. Some electroforming factories have insufficient plate thickness to reduce costs.
Second, easy to lift, easy to bend, and can not return to the original state
The main reason is that some electroforming factories use copper as an electroformed material instead of nickel in order to save costs.
The main process is: cast nickel bottoming - cast copper - cast nickel - cast chromium; and pure nickel sign production process is: cast nickel - cast chrome; seemingly more complex process, but in fact the cost of pure nickel than the cost of casting To be much lower, the reason is: First, the cost of raw materials for copper is much lower than that of nickel, the price of copper is about 40/50 yuan/KG, and the price of nickel is above 130 yuan/KG; in addition, the speed of copper casting is higher than that of cast copper. Nickel is much faster, such as: to be plated to 0.07MM thickness, copper only takes 1.5 hours, while nickel takes 3 hours.
Third, there are pits
1, syrup is not clean;
2, before the treatment is not complete;
Fourth, easy to oxidize discoloration
1, after electroforming, cleaning is not clean;
2. When gold-plated plates are used, some electroforming factories use electroless bronze as a surface electroforming material to save costs.
Fifth, the surface is atomized, the gloss is not enough
1. The electroformed template is not polished enough;
2. When gold-plated signs are used, some electroforming factories use gold-sprayed paint and then spray-light instead of the last electroformed gold-making process to save costs. The gloss of paint and real gold cannot be compared.
Six, poor pasteability:
1, poor quality of glue, or expired;
2, glue and substrate are not compatible;
In view of the above-mentioned various reasons, the quality of electroformed signage varies greatly, which leads to the same product when you select an electroformed sign. However, the price quoted by different manufacturers may vary greatly. The author's point of view is not to suggest that you buy the most expensive, but you must buy the right one, and you must be clear what kind of role you want the selected sign to play. Understanding the above reasons will help you choose the right signage supplier.
Power Meter is a monitoring and testing instrument which determines the power consumption of a connected appliance and the cost of the electricity consumed.
Built-in 3.6V rechargeable Batteries ( . The purpose of the batteries is to store the total electricity and memory setting
Resetting
If an abnormal display appears or the buttons produce no response, the instrument must be reset. To do this,
press the RESET button.
Display Mode
Entire LCD can be displayed for about 1 minute and then it automatically gets into Model. To transfer from
one mode to the other, press the FUNCTION button.
Mode 1: Time/Watt/Cost Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays the current electricity costs which ranges in O.Ocost 〜 9999cost. It will keep on O.OOcost before setting rate without other figures.
Mode 2: Time/Cumulative electrical quantity Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.
LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which
means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current cumulative electrical quantity which ranges in 0.000KWH 〜 9999KWH without other figures. LCD on third line displays"DAY"- "1 'Will be showed on numerical part(the other three figures will be showed at carry) which means it has cumulated electrical quantity for 24hours(one day). The rest can be done in the same manner untill the maximal cumulative time of 9999 days.
Mode 3: TimeA^bltage/Frequency Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays current voltage supply (v) which ranges in 0.0V 〜 9999V .LCD on third line displays current frequency (HZ) which ranges in 0.0HZ 〜 9999Hz without other figures.
Mode 4: Time/Current/Power Factor Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones.LCD on second line displays load current which ranges in 0.0000A 〜 9999A. LCD on third line displays current power factor which ranges in 0.00PF 〜 LOOPF without other figures.
Mode 5:Time/Minimum Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on
second line displays the minimum power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Lo" without other figures.
Mode 6: Time/Maximal Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays the maximal power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Hi" without other figures.
Mode 7: Time/Price Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on third line displays the cost which ranges in O.OOCOST/KWH 〜 99.99COST/KWH without other figures.
Overload Display: When the power socket connects the load over 3680W, LCD on second line displays the''OVERLOAD[ with booming noise to warn the users, (selectable choice)
Supplemental informations:
1: Except [OVERLOAD[ interface, LCD on first line display time in repitition within 24hours.
2: LCD on first line, second line or third line described in this intruction take section according to two black lines on LCD screen. Here it added for clarified purpose.
3. Mode 7 will directly occur while press down button "cost".
4. [UP"&"Down" are in no function under un-setting mode.
Setting Mode
1. Electricity price setting
After keeping COST button pressed lasting more than 3 seconds(LCD on third line display system defaults price, eg O.OOCOST/KWH ),the rendered content begins moving up and down which means that the device
has entered the setting mode. After that, press FUNCTION for swithing , then press "UP"and "DOWN" button again to set value which ranges in OO.OOCOST/KWH 〜 99.99COST/KWH. After setting all above, press COST to return to Mode7 or it will automatically return to Mode7 without any pressing after setting with data storage.
