Function of Indicator Lamp
The machine always on two states only, heating or standby.
Red lamp indicate the machine is heating ON
Green lamp indicate the machine is standby
Function of Keyboard
Heating/Standby ，machine is on heating or standby could be selected by this button.
Cycle button. It can be used for selecting display of time, temperature, week and setting
area.
Temperature setting
Automatic heating or automatic standby
Increasing the value on the state of temperature ,date or time setting
Decreasing the value on the state of temperature, date or time setting
Turning on the illumination lamp or increasing the lamp brightness
Turning off the illumination lamp or decreasing the lamp brightness
6.2 Operation Instruction
6.2.1 Start up time and day of the week set
■○
1Connect the machine to the power supply and switch on the embedding machine(See
fig1,Page 2)
▲Attention：The voltage must be same as the nameplate marked, otherwise it could
destroy the electrical system.
For example 2：Start up time and day of the week setting
○
2After the power is on , it enters into TIME checking interface to set hour, minute and date of week
by

and .
○
3you could choose the desired object hour, minute and date of week by pressing the cycle button .
▲Attn：1.The machine has automatic memory of the time, date. If the time,
date is set, even if the external power supply turn off, it doesn’t need to reset
when the machine restart.
2.Keep the setting status five seconds, it automatically jump to
working condition. If you want to quickly jump to working condition, please press
the Heating/standby button to quit. It can’t set the parameters on the
working condition.
6.2.2 Temperature of Working area check and Set
■Check the temperature of working area
On the working condition, the left side of LCD shows the selected position as the flicker,
and its temperature also showed on the LCD. For example, the paraffin tank icon flicker
and the temperature is displayed for paraffin tank.（Details to check Page4.）
Please press to check the actual temperature of paraffin tank, left/right tray, paraffin
tube/electromagnetic valve, working table as direction.
■Temperature of working area set
For example 3：Set the temperature of paraffin tank
* On the working condition, press and temperature display values will have a white
background.
* Press to select the working area(paraffin tank)
*Set the desired temperature value by by
*Press to quit.
6.2.3 Timing Heating Or Sleep Set
■Set automatic heating time and automatic sleep time for each day of one week .
For example 4：Timing heating or Sleep set

。
* Press to enter automatic time setting interface ,
* Press to select the object: Hour, Minute , day of week, Heating, Standby.
* Set the desired automatic time by and .
* Press to quit .
For example , it shows the automatic heating time is on Monday, time:18:03 on the Fig5
▲Attention：When it appears icon of "moon" , it means the automatic sleep time setting .
When it appears icon of “heating”, it means automatic heating time setting
Time 00:00 is the key point of the heating/sleep controls.
When the automatic heating time is set 00:00 one day, it means the automatic mode will not active that
day .
For example , if the operator is unnecessary to use the instrument at Sunday , it can set the automatic
heating time as 00:00)
Once set automatic heating time ( not be 00:00) , the instrument will start to heat up at the time set .
Once set automatic sleep time ( not be 00:00) , the instrument will start to sleep at the time set .
Example：If it need to set the working time of every day is AM8:00-PM16:00，
and the machine is sleep on Saturday and Sunday.
Setting protocols：
Monday , AM8：00 at Automatic heating mode，Sleep at PM16:00；
Tuesday , AM8：00 at Automatic heating mode，Sleep at PM16:00；
