Temperature Drop Sense

The  press  can  be  set  to  alarm  if  the
temperature drops a certain range below
the  set  temperature.  This  is  useful  to
warn  the  operator  if  the  press  is  too
far  out  of  temperature  range  during
excessive use.

After entering the user menus (see
top of page 18), Press PRG until DRP
displays. Use the arrow keys to set it to OFF (default), or 10, 20, 30, etc.

If the current temperature drops below the set temperature by that many
degrees, and alarm will sound. Press TEMP to silence the alarm.

Press PRG to move to the next menu item.

Keypad Beeper

The  keypad  beep  can  be  silenced  if
needed.  After  entering  the  user  menus
(see  top  of  page  18),  Press  PRG  until
BEP displays. Use the arrow keys to set
it to ON or OFF.

Press PRG to move to the next menu
item.
