Heat Control
Your new Easy-Lam has a digital heat controller. Users can easily adjust the set temperature for
the heated rollers to achieve the best quality lamination. The controller has been calibrated to
accurately display the roller temperature in the laminating range.
The laminator temperature should be adjusted according to the film thickness and the item being
laminated. See Table 1 below for recommended temperature settings. Keep in mind that the
temperatures listed are approximate and different brands of laminating film may require different
temperatures. Always set your machines temperature according to the film manufacturers’
recommendation. Do not ever exceed 325°F.
The heater switch on the right side cover activates the controller. When the switch is turned on
the controller will flash a two letter code and then display the roller temperature. When cold, the
temperature displayed on the controllers may be different than the actual ambient temperature to
account for correction in the higher temperature range. When the heater switch is turned on, the
controller will send power to the heaters, provided the Set Temperature is higher than ambient
temperature.
When power is being sent to the heaters the controller will illuminate a small red indicator light in
the lower right hand corner of the display. The light goes out when the Set Temperature is
reached. Power to the heaters will cycle when the roller temperature falls below the Set
Temperature during lamination or while sitting idle. Temperature fluctuation is normal.
Set Temperature
Each time the machine is turned on it will heat up to the last Set Temperature. To determine the
Set Temperature, with the heater switch activated and the current temperature displayed, press
and hold down either the up or down arrow for 4-5 seconds. The display will change and flash
the set temperature and “SU” alternately. After 10 seconds the display will return to the current
roller temperature.
To change the Set Temperature, depress and hold down either the up or down arrow for 4-5
seconds until the display flashes “SU” and the current Set Temperature. Depress the appropriate
arrow to raise or lower the setting. The digits will change slowly initially but will increase speed
when held down longer for large changes. When the desired setting has been reached, release
the button. The display will continue to flash for a few seconds and then display the current roller
temperature.
