The Digital Pressure Bar
Graph indicates a basic 0-9
scale of pressure exerted.
The pressure bar graph
resets when the press is
closed/locked while timing.
If the pressure adjustment has been changed, or a different thickness
item has been placed in the press, the pressure bar graph will not change
until the press is closed and locked and the timer is counting.
This bar graph is directly related to the amount of pressure, or resistance,
being felt and applied to the bottom table. If a thicker item is placed in
the press, and no adjustments are made to the pressure knob, then the
amount of pressure clamping down will be greater, and the bar graph
will show a higher number. Here are some bar graph guidelines:
A very light pressure slight clamping would be in the 0 to 3 range.
A good medium pressure for most applications would be 4 to 6.
Excessively high pressure for demanding items would be 7 to 9.

The DK20 and DK16 are upgradable to an automatic release feature.
This allows for the automatic opening of the handle without operator
involvement.
When operating a DK20 or DK16 with auto-release, be sure the FWB
(Finished Warning Beeper - see page 19) is set to on. This will warn the
operator audibly 3 seconds prior to opening.
NOTE: The magnetic device will not activate if the timer is
not counting down. If the timer will not count, see page 23 for
troubleshooting the timer.
The magnetic locking mechanism may come with a 2-position Hover
Bracket. This upper bracket allows the operator to lower the press in a
“resting” position, not fully locking/clamping in place, to simply heat-
cure the lower surface. The operator can also fully lock/clamp the press
with firm pressure as well without any adjustments.
