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
Start up window

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

TEC2800 Embedding Center
AMOSTEC2800ECOP20150318
---7---
。
* 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;

Thursday , AM8:00 at Automatic heating mode,Sleep at PM16:00;
Friday , AM8:00 at Automatic heating mode,Sleep at PM16:00;
Saturday, AM00:00 at Automatic heating mode,Sleep at any time;
Sunday, AM00:00 at Automatic heating mode,Sleep at any time
6.2.4 Heating Mode and Sleep Mode Manually Set
■Turn on the machine and enter into the working window, press to set the heating mode
or sleep mode.
■After the heating or sleep mode set ( example 4), it also could adjust the heating or sleep
mode by at any time.
6.2.5 The Use of Peltier cold spot
■Switch on the peltier cold spot (See Fig.1) to start refrigerating. Usually the temperature will
reach a value between 0℃ and -5℃ after two minutes. Then the table can be used. This
function is designed for the user of stainless steel embedding mold.
6.2.6 Finger touch pad or foot pedal to control paraffin flow
Prepared work before paraffin flows
■Wax melting is required long time, so it better to start work until the wax is completely
melted in order not to damage the electromagnetic valve to control the paraffin flow out.
■Release the wax inside the paraffin tube before using. Best way is that press and hold the
switch of flow out 2-3 seconds that could help the wax release.
■Paraffin flow value could be adjusted. Operation: Rotate the Flow Regulating knob by hand
to adjust the rate of flow as the direction.
Hand Switch
■Gently push the switch at the rear of the paraffin discharge port with the index finger( tick
sound), the molten paraffin will flow out, and release the finger to stop the flow.
Foot Switch
■Insert the plug of the foot switch into the socket at the rear side. Gently step this switch after
the paraffin gets melted, the molten paraffin will flow out. When the switch is released, the
molten paraffin will stop flowing out.

6.2.7 Lamp open/close and Lamp intensity adjustable
■It has two modes :
1. The illuminate light of machine is default on the lightest. The machine will keep the lightest lamp by
pressing to turn on or pressing to turn off.
2. If user would like to change the brightness as desired, it should be active this function:
PRESS and simultaneous when start the instrument till language selection interface comes, and
increase the lamp brightness by holding , decrease the lamp brightness by holding
6.2.8 The Use of Magnifier
■Remove the knob as the red arrows shows on fig 7,and install the magnifier on the position
shows on Fig 8. Please adjust the angle before using.
