Setup & Suggestions

Basic Use

Setting Time

The time setting is always editable in the default operating mode

of the controller. The left two digits of the time display are minutes.
The right two digits are seconds. This can be changed to Hours/Min-
utes in the User Options Menu.

Use the Up & Down arrow keys to change the time.

Hold the Up or Down arrow key down to increment the values quickly.

After a brief pause, the values will accelerate.

Press the Up & Down arrow keys together to clear the setting to 00:00

When the press is closed, the timing cycle starts. The “TIMING”

indicator will appear.

When the timing cycle is finished, the “DONE” indicator will appear.

Depending on the timer alarm chosen, the alarm may continue to sound

at the end of the timing cycle until the press is opened.

When the press is opened up, the “OPEN” indicator will appear.

Locate the press on a firm, sturdy work surface.

The height of the bench/work space the press is located on would be

ideally 27” to 32” high.

Attach the power cord to the rear of the controller.

Keep all items clear of the heater area. The heater band, pressure

adjustment area, and front of the press may become hot. Do not rest
any items on the machine.

The press should remain in the unclamped position when not in use.

Do not leave the heater band closed if not using. This will cause the
timer to run.
