PID TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT)
Troubleshooting the PID
If you find a platen or platens are not functioning properly, you may wish to reset the PID.
Some of the most common issues people may have are below.
Press Doesn’t Reach the Preset Temperature
A press that doesn’t reach the preset temperature usually has the PID parameters set up
incorrectly. Verify “standard operational parameters” on page 9. Go through all the settings
and verify that they match. If they don’t match, write down the current PID parameters. To
reset parameters, follow steps on page 11 & 12.
Temperature Gun Shows a Different Temperature
Temperature guns can be highly inaccurate when reading temperatures in reflective surfac-
es or at an angle. We suggest an actual thermometer and some kind of lubricant between
the tip of the reader and the specific surface area for which you want to read the tempera-
ture.
If you want to use a temperature gun, you should paint a black spot on the surface of the
platen with some kind of permanent marker, and take the reading as close as possible to
that spot, and perpendicular to the surface.
When it’s determined that a reset is necessary, the following is a guide showing how to
properly reset a single PID. You will need to repeat the steps for each PID that needs to be
reset.
