the rollers. [Note: DO NOT RUN THE ROLLERS IN REVERSE WHEN THERE IS FILM ON THE FRONT
ROLLERS.
Heat Control…
Your new
Element Series
Laminator has a digital heat controller. Users can easily adjust the set
temperature for the heated rollers to achieve the best quality lamination. The controller has been
calibrated to accurately display the roller temperature in the laminating range.
The laminating temperature should be adjusted according to the film thickness and the item being
laminated. See Table 1 below for recommended temperature settings. Keep in mind that the
temperatures listed in the table below are approximate, and different brands of laminating film may
require different temperatures. Always set your machines temperature according to the film
manufacturers’ recommendation.
When power is being sent to the heaters, the green ready light indicator will come on 10F degrees
earlier before set temperature, this is normal, and the unit will be ready to run application thru. Power
to the heaters will cycle when the roller temperature falls below the set temperature during laminating
or while sitting idle. Temperature fluctuation is normal.
[Note: As items pass through the laminator,
heat is transferred from the rollers to the laminated document causing fluctuations in temperature.
These fluctuations will cause the indicator light the flash as the machine requires more heat to reach the
set temperature.]
Set Temperature…
Each time the machine is turned on it will by default go to “COLD” setting and displays a temperature of
32°F. Press the “HOT” button which will turn the machines heaters on and begin to heat to the preset
temperature of 230°F. To change the set temperature, use the temperature control buttons to increase
and decrease the temperature; press the “
▲
”
to increase the temperature; press
“▼”
to decrease the
temperature. The digits will change slowly initially but will increase speed when held down longer for
large changes. When the desired setting has been reached, release the button.
[To determine the actual
roller temperature at any given time, simply hold down the “MEAS” button, and the temperature
readout will display the current roller temperature.]
Important Notes:
Overheat Display “O-H”
: the temperature readout display may show an abbreviation for overheat
momentarily should the rollers’ surface temperature becomes too hot (above 305F degrees) when
temperature is set above 275F & above. This is normal and it usually happens during the last phase of
initial warm up time but will eventually drop down and the display will show the set temperature again.
Auto shut off “pof”:
certain models feature an auto shut off option and it will cut off power to the
heaters if the machine is set idle for more than two hours. To regain power, the “RUN” must be pressed,
and the readout display will show the set temperature again.
