2.4 Power supply Die Air press-4 X has to be connected to a voltage of 230VAC/ 50Hz. The press is equipped with a plug. Make sure that the power outlet is in the right condition and that the grounding is connected to the power outlet. Turn and fasten the the retainer (photo 1-2). An extension cable 230VAC must be fasten in the retainer above the press (photo 3-4).
2.5 Initiation of the heat press The press should only be used by trained personal after notice of this manual. Before the first start up m ake sure that the power outlet is in the right condition and that the grounding is connected to the power outlet. Assemble the press before you work with it (chapter 2.2). The press can be turned on with the green dip-switch (photo 1).
3. Working with the heat press 3.1 Programming the electronic devices After switching on the press, the current temperature is shown is shown on the display and the press heats up. Change settings: The programming mode shows up when you press Setup for about 5 seconds, until the LED1 blinks up. LED1 blinks and the programmed temperature shows on the display The programming mode is activated.
3.3 Counter Air Press-4 X is equipped with a transfer counter. The number of transfers is displayed on the screen. Use the yellow button (picture 1) to reset the counter or deduct one unit from the counter’s record. Additionally, the screen (picture 2) displays the number of the selected program.
3.6 Pressure settings Wit this press you can change the pressure setting . After every change of the pressure settings, close the heat press to check the new settings. Damages, which arise from to much pressure, are excluded from the guarantee. To adjust the pressure do the following: Take the pressure reading.
3.7 Exchanging the heating plate To exchange the heating plate, the press must be disconnected from electricity and cold. Now disconnect the spiral tube plug of the heating plate. (photo 1-2). Loosen fixation screw with a wrench (photo 3). Take hold of the plate and put it down carefully on the base plate (photo 4-5).
3.9 Safety frame The Air press-4 X is equipped with an safety frame (photo 1). The safety frame guards against burnings. If you should touch the safety frame while it's going down (photo 2), the process will be interrupted at once. In that case you have to press the activation button again (photo 3).
3.11 Screen printing mounting adjustment (optional) At the Airpress4 you can mount a screen print frame directly over one of the base plates. In this way you can print one colour directly on the press. To work comfortably with the frame you can adjust the screen lift-off (photo 2 + 3) and the inclination of the screen (photo 4) with the depicted screws 4.
4.2 Replacing the main fuse If the heat press does not work after switching on (the main switch is glowing, but the display is not), check the main fuse of the press. The main fuse 12A is placed in the upper part of the press (photo 1). To exchange the fuse, switch off the heat press first and pull the plug.
4.4 Replacing the fuse in the power supply The heat press is equipped with a main fuse 1,6A/12Volt, which is placed in the upper part of the press. In the electric case is a LED. When the LED (photo 1) glows, the power supply works. If the LED doesn't glows, the fuse 1,6A in the power supply has to be exchanged.

4.6 Electronics keyboard replacement To change the electronics keyboard the press must be switched off and unplugged. Remove the electronics from the control panel as instructed in chapter 4.5. Disconnect the keyboard plug from the electronics (picture 1) and remove the keyboard from the press (picture 2).
4.8 Transmitter replacement If the lower platens do not change position after pushing the right/left platen turn button, check if the diodes on the transmitter are on (turn of the platens left – the left transmitter; turn of the platens right – the right transmitter) (picture 1). If the diodes are not on, a given transmitter is broken and needs to be replaced (picture 2-3).
4.11 Replacing the thermo couple The replacing may only be done by an authorized person. For the replacement of the thermo couple the press must be disconnected from the electricity and cold. Remove the cap and take out isolation.. (photo 1) Remove the thermo couple.
