Features
The new Plus machine use a powerful microprocessor PID (Proportional plus Integral plus Derivative) controller utilizing flash memory processors which allow
custom features and high standard of temperature accuracy.
PID controllers prevent oscillation around the temperature set point and adjust the power output to avoid overshoot and offset, for a more reliable and stable
temperature. Dual display of temperature and time dwell. R controlled heating element.
Unpacking & Set-up
Safety First ~ NEVER stand over the machine when in the clamped / closed position.
Remove the heat press from the packing case and retain all the packing.
Mount the press on a solid surface ensuring it is located near a mains outlet.
Plug the mains cable into the rear of the machine and connect to: - 240 Volt AC, single-phase mains supply (standard wall socket)
Depress the on / off switch and the control will illuminate as below and perform a self diagnostic for a few seconds.
.
The machine will now start to heat up. Please note for the later part of the heating cycle approximately 10°C before the set point the heating
cycle will slow down this is the PID control bringing the temperature up by pulsing the element supply to avoid temperature overshoot
The first line of the controller display (in red) is the current temperature.
When the machine is first switched on it will display the temperature of the platen and gradually heat up to the set point.
The controller on the left is indicating 210°C this means the machine is ready to use (204°C post 2019 machines).
The second display (green) line is the timer set point in seconds currently set to 8 seconds.
The machine is delivered set to standard factory settings as above but you may wish to change these for different materials or marking products.
You may check your settings at any time simply by pressing the
key and the temperature set-point will be displayed, press
again and the timer
set-point will be displayed, press
a third time and the control will loop back to the temp set point simply leave the control for a few seconds and display will revert
to monitoring the temperature of the machine.

To Operate the Hand ress
Ensure that the temperature & Timer setting are correct.
You ay check your settings at any ti e si ply by pressing the
key and the te perature set-point will be displayed, press
again and the ti er
set-point will be displayed, press
a third ti e and the control goes back to the standard screen display
Place the part of the garment/article to be marked onto the silicone pressure pad.
Pull the handle forward into the locked position, ensuring the garment is firmly clamped between the heat plate and pressure pad. (Make sure that your
hands are away from the heated platen when using the heat press).
The timer display will now start a countdown.
After completion of the above the buzzer will sound when the pre-set time has elapsed and t.End (timer end) will be displayed, the handle
should then be lifted back to it full extent.
Before operating the machine at the start of each day carry out a sealing procedure without any garment or transfers this will remove any
moisture from the pad.
ressure ad Assembly
The silicone pressure pad and assembly should be maintained and kept in good condition at all times.
A worn silicone pressure pad will effect the quality of transfer marking / fusing and should be replaced when showing signs of wear. (See parts list).
After a long duration of time it may be found that there is a loss of pressure through the pressure pad assembly, this can be rectified by replacing the pressure springs
located under the pressure plate.
Never allow the heat plate to rest on the silicone pressure pad when the press is not in use.
TFE Heat late Cover
A PTFE cover is fitted to the heat plate, which allows the surface to be wiped clean should it become marked.
New PTFE covers may be fitted to the heat plate when ARM (not hot) and has been cleaned to remove residue of the old PTFE.
