Setting Temperature
• The control will regulate the heat platen temperature based on the set
point temperature. When the temperature falls below the Set Point,
the “HEATING” indicator will appear.
• When the temperature reaches the Set Point, the “HEATING” indicator
will disappear and the “READY” indicator will appear.
• If the Set Point temperature is set to a temperature below the Current
temperature, the press will wait to cool down to that Set Point. At that
time, neither the “READY” or “HEATING” indicators will appear.
In the default operating mode of the controller, the displayed
temperature is the Current temperature. This is the actual temperature
of the heater band surface. Please note that on the DK3 the operating
range of the controller is from 150°F to 400°F (65°C to 204°C). During
the first heat up cycle of the press, the controller will display 150°F
(65°C) until the heat platen temperature rises above that temperature.
The Set Point temperature is the temperature the operator sets
the press for. This is the value the press will regulate the Current
temperature based on. The set point temperature may be changed
whenever necessary:
• When in the default operating mode, press the TEMP button.
• The Current temperature will be replaced by the blinking Set Point
temperature.
• Use the Up & Down arrow keys to change the Set Point temperature.
• 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 set the temperature to
350.
• When finished setting the temperature, press the TEMP button to return
to the default operating mode.
