Heating Compensation (time control only)
This relates to the amount of time the controller reduces the weld time after each operation to
compensate for residual heat. A value of 0 indicates that heating compensation is disabled. A
low value will reduce the weld time by a small amount and is suitable for a machine that warms
up very slowly. A high value will reduce the weld time by a larger amount and is suitable for a
machine that warms up very quickly.
To adjust the value, with the machine turned on, press both of the weld control ▲ and ▼ keys
for 2 seconds and release when hc appears on the screen. To increase or decrease the figure use
the heat ▲ or ▼ key. After 5 seconds the screen will default back and save the figure entered.
Cycle the machine 15-20 times weld one of your bags. If the seal fails decrease the figure, if it is
molten increase the figure.
Cooling Compensation (time control only)
This relates to how quickly the controller increases the weld time when the machine is idle,
compensating for the machine cooling down when not being used. A value of 0 indicates that
cooling compensation is disabled. A low value will increase the weld time by small amount and
is suitable for a machine that cools down very slowly. A high value increases the weld time by a
larger amount and is suitable for a machine that cools down more rapidly.
To adjust the value, with the machine turned on press both of the cool control ▲ and ▼ keys
for 2 seconds and release when cc appears on the screen. To increase or decrease the figure use
the cool ▲ or ▼ key. After 5 seconds the screen will default back and save the figure entered.
Cycle the machine 15-20 times, allow it to cool for a few seconds and weld one of your bags. If
the seal fails decrease the figure, if it is molten increase the figure.
Key Lock
To prevent unauthorised alteration, the Star MkVI has a control lockout. If the green keypad
locked light is on the feature is not engaged. To engage or disengage press the cool ▲ or ▼ key
and release to display the cool time, the blue indicator will flash. Press and hold both of the weld
▲ and ▼ keys for 2 seconds. The green keypad locked light will come on or go off once the two
seconds is up. Release the keys and wait for the screen to go back to default.
Jaws Timeout
This is the time allowed for the jaws to close, jaws to open or automatic knife to complete its
travel before the alarms engage. To alter press the cool ▲ key and weld ▼ key for 2 seconds
until the display shows 2 digits with a decimal point between them. To alter this figure, use the
weld ▲ and ▼ keys. After 5 seconds the screen will default back and save the figure entered.
