Product description Components Heating presses are electrical heating devices for use in fabricating (splicing) belting material that can withstand maximum temperatures of 210°C. Heating presses are used to splice endlessly belting material using pressure and temperature. Depending on the requirement we differentiate between different designs and types.

Preparing the product for usage Before starting the operation of the tool, the following steps must be carried out each time to ensure that the tool works properly. Check the following points: Transport The transport / the relocation / the use of the device should be carried out by an appropriate lifting appliance (regarding the minimum lifting force, please look at chapter “3.3 Technical data“).
Pressure generation and control The heating press is equipped with an integrated pneumatic system for generating and controlling pressure. The pressure hose is filled at the beginning of heating process by pushing the “start-button” and is discharged again at the end of heating process. The air pressure level can be read from the display of the pressure controller.
Air cooling system The heating plates together with the belting material are cooled down with air. For this purpose some ventilators located at the bottom part of the heating press are blowing cooling air over the heating plates following to the preheating and holding-down processes in order to cool down the press.
Handling General Heating presses are electrical heating devices for use in fabricating (splicing) belting material that can withstand maximum temperatures of 210°C. Note: When making melting splices always observe the splicing instructions for the belt type to be spliced. Attention Before every heating process check the heating press for signs of damage.
Warning Risk of crushing when closing the heating press! Closing the heating press Collar Flap the eye bolt with collar nut from the bottom Slightly tighten nut by hand. Centering bore Centering pin Eye bolt Connecting the heating press to the mains Connect the top heating plate with the bottom heating plate, so that the latching gets closed.
Note: The compress air supply gets automatically regulated by an integrated compressor. The permissible air pressure of 2 bar is factory adjusted and may be changed to a max- imum of 2,5 bar in exceptional cases! During the heating process the pressing power can in- crease owing to the thermal expansion of the air.

The potential splice types for the belt-types set up are selected by the function that uses keys (9) and (7).
Page 23
Set-up a new belt-type The HPS 2 can store up to 2048 different belt-types. To select a new belt-type the appropriate menu must be opened. < Belt-type > < Press-type > This menu point can be switched off with the HPS 2- configuration program.
Page 24
Note: Implemented modifications of the set temperature or the hold-down time on the device are saved permanently in splice type “99” at the recent selected belt-type of the HPS 2 belt-type list. The additional splice type „99“ will be applied if this splice type is not yet available at the current se- lected belt-type.

Temperatures The set-up menu is opened by pressing the button ( ). The set-up function name appears in the first line of the display and the set-up function number appears in the second line. Using keys (9) or (7) will switch between set-up functions. Key (OK) starts the set-up function. The set-up menu is ex- ited by pressing (ESC) and the standard display appears.

Starting the pressing process After the ready message appears, key (Start/Stop) is to be activated The pressing process is now working automatically as follows: Phase 1: Both heating plates are heated up to the desired set temperature. Heating up ..The set and actual temperature of both heating plates can be displayed using key ( ) instead of the marquee text in the second line.
Page 28
Phase 3: The "cooling" output remains activated until the temperature of the two heating plates is below the programmed cooling temperature. Cooling The set and actual temperatures of the two heating plates can be displayed using key ( ) instead of the marquee text in the second line.

Error messages When switching the unit on: When switching on, a checking of the stored parameters is performed by the unit on the basis of a checksum. If the parameter set is invalid, the following message appears approximately 2 seconds after having switched on: Furthermore, in this case the respective data set of the press-types and belt-types is also invalid and must be reloaded using the HPS 2 configuration program.

Configuration program The configuration program makes any communication possible between a personal computer (PC) and the integrated control unit, or the press and is used for loading the belt type lists and for select- ing and saving the device protocol memory. For using the program please connect the PC with the control unit via USB cable.
