Pressure / Height Gauge Sensitivity
Drop Sense
The PRR menu item allows the user to define how sensitive the
height gauge is for displaying purposes. This setting defines how
quickly the pressure display will appear during normal operation.
The lower the sensitivity setting, the less the amount of change is
required when turning the pressure knob to cause the PRS display to
appear during the default operating mode. The higher the number,
the greater the amount of change in height is required to display the
PRS value.
Usually a setting of 02 is fine for normal operation. However,
sometimes merely closing the press can cause the pressure/height
gauge to register a reading and change the display to the PRS reading
undesirably. By increasing this value, the PRS display will not activate
from smaller changes to the pressure. Conversely, sometimes the
operator may adjust the pressure knob, but the PRS value does not
display unless the knob is turned very quickly. By lowering the value,
the display will activate based on smaller and slower changes to the
pressure setting.
Use the arrow keys to change the PRR
sensitivity setting. Press PRG to move to the
next menu item.
A temperature alarm is available for warning the user of out-of-
range temperature conditions. The user can set this menu item to
sound an alarm if the heat platen drops below the Set Point temperature
by the amount indicated. This can be helpful when pressing substrates
that absorb an unusually large amount of heat, causing the platen to
fall in temperature quickly. If the results of the transfer begin to
deteriorate, the Drop Sense feature can help the user avoid this.
Use the arrow keys to set the degrees or
to turn this feature off. If the Current
temperature drops below the Set Point by this
amount or more, an alarm will sound. The
default value is OFF.
