To start the function, press the Start Warming button. Then the machine will start to rotate. 

All connected flashes will heat up the pallets for the time set in Warming Time. The function 

will recognize the pallet as warm when:

-In temperature control mode, all pallets reach the preset temperature. If 

temperature sensors are connected to the machine, then the machine takes into 

account the sensor readings on the head of the nearest flashing station. Note the 

readings from the sensor on the head nearest the flashing station.
OR
-In cycle control mode, the machine will execute the set number of turns. One full 

rotation means that the machine heated each pallet once.
