Start-up and Monitoring Mode

 

 
When you first turn on the DES-32, wait about two seconds for it to adjust.  After the circuits 
settle, the control panel displays the version of CPU software and enters Monitoring mode.  In 
Monitoring mode, the panel’s numeric display area shows the following values: 

 

The cycle dwell time setting for cycle time A 

 

The current top platen temperature in degrees Fahrenheit 

 

The current bottom platen temperature in degrees Fahrenheit 

 

The current air line pressure 

 
The DES-32’s control panel enters Monitoring mode on initial start-up and when the machine is 
idle.  While in Monitoring mode, the control panel displays the current cycle dwell time setting, 
current top platen temperature, current bottom platen temperature, and current air line 
pressure.  Because the control panel displays the platens’ actual temperatures, it shows room 
temperature for them when they are not on.  If the machine’s pressure regulator is off, the 
control panel displays zero (0) for air line pressure. 
 
While the control panel is in Monitoring mode, you can immediately see any function displayed 
by pressing and quickly releasing either the Cycle Time A, Cycle Time B, Top Temp, Bottom 
Temp, or Air Line PSI button. 
 

Caution:

  If you press the Control Lockout button while the control panel is in Monitoring mode, 

it will enter Set Lockout mode.  In Set Lockout mode, you can select a three-button 
sequence as a code that prevents unauthorized personnel from changing the 
parameters.  Immediately press Control Lockout again to exit this mode.  See Chapter 
10, 

Setting a Control Lockout Sequence
