PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1) Flip both power switches (left and right hand sides of the machine) to the ON position.
Make sure the press is open so that the heating elements are not touching each other.
2) The P1 screen allows you to set the requested (SV) temperature. Set the desired tem-
perature for both heating elements by adjusting the up/down arrow keys on both control
panels. The top and bottom heating elements each have separate control panels. Press
SET key when complete to proceed to the P2 control screen. (SV shows requested tem-
perature and PV shows the actual temperature of the platens as they heat up.) Typical
operating temperatures are 170 to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
3) The P2 screen sets the countdown timer which will issue a beep, signaling you to open
the press and remove the rosin. Use the up/down arrow keys to enter the number of sec-
onds for the countdown timer. Press SET key to advance to the P3 screen.
4) The P3 screen allows you to select Celsius or Fahrenheit for the temperature display.
5) The P4 screen allows you to adjust temperature compensation of the PV value. It is
normal for the PV temperature to vary approx. 12 degrees +/- from the SV setting. In cases
where the two values are more than +/- 12 degrees, it is possible to adjust the PV value. If
the PV is above the SV value, enter a negative number in the P4 setting. If the PV value is
