Operating:
Place the press plates in the press
chamber for a functional test.
Switch on the power switch (
MAINS
also serves as emergency stop, right
in the control panel). The compressor
starts.
Switch on the pressure by pressing
PRESSURE
(compressor might re-

On the hand wheel at the bottom left,
set the desired pressing pressure.
This depends on the material type,
age of the prepregs and most import-
ant: the size of your press pack. For an overview, see
Printing Preferences
. For material from the
RMP starter set with a press package size of 250 x 350mm (RMP210) set as standard 12 bar (for
the RMP3545 and press package size 350x450 is 8 bar).
Set the desired pressing time at the timer. After pressing
PROG
, the hour digits flash. With
+
or
–
you can change the value. If you press
PROG
again, the minutes digits flash, then the seconds di-
gits flash. After the 4th press of
PROG
the normal display reappears and you can start the press
cycle by pressing
- (Start / Stop)
. For material from the RMP Starter Set, the default time is 90
minutes (1:30:00).
Only after the pressing cycle is started, the temperature controls light up. The green display value
corresponds to the current heating-up specification (TARGET TEMPERATURE). The upper, red
value represents the currently reached temperature (CURRENT TEMPERATURE). To change the
preset temperature: Press
MODE
and then the
arrow keys
to set the desired heating temperature,
for example to 155 ° C as shown in this figure. Then press the button (
MODE
) again to save the se-
lected value. Heating starts with a pre-set ramp of 6 ° C / minute. After the set time has elapsed, the
heating will switch off and the fans will automatically switch off to cool down.
If you set higher temperatures than 175 ° C, you have to switch on the additional fans manually at
the beginning of the pressing cycle, so that the environment of the heating plates does not overheat.
Let the press stack cool sufficiently before removing it or wear appropriate protective gloves.
