TeleMold FAQs

Contact your local subsidiary if you have any questions about or problems with the TeleMold system.

On the control panel of the TeleMold system, in the instruction manual and on the hand pump.

All SP 64(i) + SP 94(i) + SP 124(i) pavers that are fitted with a paving mould type 1300 wi. You should send a concrete request to your local subsidiary or dealer stating the machine number.

The evenness of the freshly paved concrete surface is a measurable indicator. In addition to this, no concrete may enter the inner compartment.

Yes, the high-pressure hoses can be removed after the hydraulic clamping nuts have been pre-tightened.

The tarpaulin cover of the paving mould must completely cover the inner compartment with the TeleMold system to prevent contaminants getting inside.

The hand pump should be covered and wrapped with the tarpaulin cover provided.

Due to the high quality and value of the hand pump, we advise removing it and storing it in a safe and protected place.

The defective hydraulic clamping nut should be sent to the appropriate subsidiary and replaced with a new part. Defective hydraulic clamping nuts can be repaired by the manufacturer.

• Check whether the roller chain of the drive system is intact.
• Check whether the appropriate valve connectors are correctly connected and tightened.
• Check whether the limit switch beneath the lower carriage is intact and makes contact with the screw drive.

No concrete may enter the inner compartment of the paving mould during paving.

• Check whether the evenness setting of the paving mould is still set.
• Check whether the components of the TeleMold rod mounts are suitably tightened.
• Check whether the hydraulic clamping nuts are firmly seated.

The hydraulic clamping nut is in the end position when it reaches the red position marker on the piston rod.

Check whether the quick connectors from the slide gate are also connected to the cylinder.

Check whether the safety locks of the hoses are open.

• Check whether the hand pump is set to ‘Pump’.
• Check the oil level in the hand pump and top it up if necessary.

• Check whether the hand pump has been properly connected to the hydraulic clamping nuts.
• Check whether the hand pump is delivering sufficient pressure.
• Check whether the threads of the hydraulic clamping nuts are clean and, if not, clean them with a wire brush.
  (Increase the pressure by 50 bar with the hand pump)

• Check whether the nuts of the hydraulic clamping nuts have been turned far enough back.
• Check whether the TeleMold is being kept in balance by the cylinder.
• Close the TeleMold a little with the screw drive and then pull the forks.

By opening the corresponding maintenance and service hatches on the front of the paving mould.

To override the sensor, pressing and holding down the button for extending the mould will slowly extend the TeleMold after 10 seconds. Contact your local dealer or subsidiary and request replacement of the defective for the cable or sensor.

The hydraulic clamping nut is in the end position when it reaches the red position marker on the piston rod.

• The TeleMold must be closed with the screw drive until no larger gaps can be seen between the individual extension elements.
• The alignment of the TeleMold must be parallel to the cylinder.
• The receivers for the hydraulic clamping nuts must be set to be free of play with the forks.
• When building pressure with the pump, care must be taken not to move the cylinder into the end position, as otherwise no pressure would be built-up and one could think that the mould was closed. In reality, the TeleMold would actually be open, as the hydraulic clamping nuts would be pressing against the end position of the clamping nut instead of against the TeleMold.

Ensure that the hand pump is set to ‘Release’. Ensure that the hoses of the hydraulic clamping nuts are connected to the hand pump. Ensure that the forks are installed. Then cautiously extend the TeleMold with the screw drive until the hydraulic clamping nuts are almost completely closed.

• Pay attention to hydraulic hoses and electric cables.
• The vibrator bar and the metering gate must be opened before you start.
• Ensure that the connecting rods are not tilted and that the milled recesses are at the side.

• Check whether the pressure bolts intended for transportation have been released.
• Check whether the plunger cylinder can be set to zero pressure, if not, activate the relief valve by hand.
• Help this along a little with the shifting cylinder. The switch is also located on the TeleMold remote control unit.

• The control unit is not connected.
• The key switch on the main control panel on the operator's platform is not set to ’ON’

Extension elements with a maximum of 914.4 mm (3 ft) can be used with each TeleMold system.

• Check whether the pressure bolts intended for transportation have been released.
• Check whether the plunger cylinder can be set to zero pressure, if not, activate the relief valve by hand.
• Help this along a little with the shifting cylinder. The switch is also located on the TeleMold remote control unit.

The remote control unit of the TeleMold system has buttons for raising or lowering each of the four lifting columns.

• The TeleMold system can draw the power it needs from a USP socket of your choice.
• The remote control unit is plugged directly into the TeleMold.
