Page 5: Setting Temperature
Setting Temperature In the default operating mode of the controller, the displayed temperature is the Current temperature. This is the actual temperature of the heat platen surface. Please note that the operating range of the controller is from 150°F to 550°F (65°C to 288°C). During the first heat up cycle of the press, the controller will display 150°F (65°C) until the heat platen temperature rises above that temperature. -
Page 6: Setting Height / Pressure
Setting Height / Pressure Pressure is set manually using the large black Pressure Adjustment Knob. There is one important rule of thumb when setting pressure: The press MUST LOCK IN PLACE when lowering and clamping the press. Do not simply let the platen rest on the pad. A good solid two-handed locking force is recommended when first doing transfers to insure good results. -
Page 7: Guidelines & Standard Settings
Guidelines & Standard Settings The following information covers some basic guidelines for pressing, as well as some generic parameters for basic heat transfer applications. • When pressing shirts, it is often recommended that the shirts be quickly pressed for 2 seconds before transferring to remove wrinkles and water content. -
Page 8: Programmable Presets

Page 10: Pressure / Height Gauge Calibration
Pressure / Height Gauge Calibration The digital pressure/height gauge is calibrated from the factory to recognize the lowest and highest pressure points settable on the press. By defining the highest and lowest points of adjustment, the controller is then able to accurately calculate and display the current heat platen height &... -
Page 11: Pressure / Height Gauge Sensitivity
Pressure / Height Gauge Sensitivity The PRR menu item allows the user to define how sensitive the height gauge is for displaying purposes. This setting defines how quickly the pressure display will appear during normal operation. The lower the sensitivity setting, the less the amount of change is required when turning the pressure knob to cause the PRS display to appear during the default operating mode. -
Page 12: Beep
