SCHEU BIOSTAR - Biostar LCD Display Codes; Understanding 3-Digit Codes

Important Troubleshooting Advice
Performing a Cold Test:
A. Turn the Biostar on. Make sure the platform is in place. Clamp a sheet of 2mm (or thicker)
hard material onto the pressure chamber. Secure the clamping frame.
B. Enter 5 seconds of heating time. Swing the heating element over the material to activate
the heat. Immediately return the heating element to the rest position.
C. Swing the pressure chamber over the model platform. Activate the air pressure.
D. If you hear a constant rush of air during pressurization (air leak), contact your Great Lakes
Customer Support Specialist immediately.

Understanding 3-Digit Codes:
• The rst two digits represent the operating temperature of the heating element,
and the length of heating time required prior to the thermal-forming process.
• The third digit represents the cooling phase and the length of time that the
thermal-formed material should be held under pressure.
• All heating and cooling times are in seconds.
