Operating Instructions for the Heat Press MEM TQ1-6080/80100
Congratulations on purchasing the MEM heat press!
Please read these operating instructions carefully to start production with
your press without problems. Reproduction of these operating instructions in
any form requires the written approval of MEM. MEM reserves all rights to
change technical data and product features. MEM does not assume any liability
for direct or indirect damage resulting from the use of this product. Version

Brief Overview
The MEM TQ1-6080/80100 is a pneumatic double station heat press with a
self-pressure balancing system. It has an adjustable air pressure by air
reducing valve with water separator. The product is CE certificated and RoHS
certificated. It also comes with a lifetime factory on-line service.
MEM TQ1-6080/80100 pneumatic double station heat press
The design of the MEM presses combines a heavy-duty solid industrial grade
pressing framework with high quality electric components. This provides the
operator with the best possible features and equipment needed for today’s
various heat transfer applications.
Using the MEM TQ1-6080/80100 heat press, all common heat transfer processes
(flock,
flex, sublimation, transfer, Inkjet-flex etc.) can be conducted
professionally and with
highest productivity. The desired settings can be set easily with the
temperature controller. The pneumatic pressure can be regulated smoothly with
the air reducing valve. With the restriction valve on the solenoid valve, the
press and lift speed could be adjusted.

Safety Precautions
Please read these instructions and safety precautions carefully before
using your press for the first time! Do not open the cover or attempt to
modify the machine yourself without instruction. In case you are requested by
the MEM customer support to open the heating plate cover, follow their
instructions. If you cannot observe one or more of the safety precautions
above, or if you are not sure whether all points are satisfied, please contact
our Technical Support Department.
- Never reach into the heat press with your hands when it is connected to the power supply, particularly when it is switched on and heated up – danger of severe burns!
- Do not open the cover or attempt to modify the machine yourself without instruction.
- In case you are requested by the MEM customer support to open the heating plate cover, please make sure you are wearing respiratory protection and only touch the contained insulation wool with gloves. Any disposal of the wool must be contained in a closed bag.
- Ensure that liquids and metal objects do not get into the inside of the heat press.
- Ensure that the power socket used is grounded. Note that it is only permissible to operate a heat press from a power socket protected by a ground fault protection switch.
- Disconnect machine from power outlet when not in use!
- Never operate the heat press within the reach of children and never leave the machine unsupervised when switched on.
- Ensure that the machine is used only in dry rooms.
- Pay attention that the used compressor is attuned to the air consumption and the pressure
If you cannot observe one or more of the safety precautions above, or if you are not sure whether all points are satisfied, please contact our Technical Support Department.

The TQ1-80100 has a controller with a SET button to enter parameter setting interface. Press and hold SET button to exit parameter setting interface. Press down key to decrease the corresponding parameter value. Do not change parameters except Pb and SL2 without our instruction. Parameter code Pb SL2 Function Temperature calibration: If measured temperature 1 or 1 lower than the showing temperature, decrease the value 1. 0: Celsius () 1: Fahrenheit ()
Pneumatic Connection
The TQ1-6080/80100 requires an air compressor with a minimum of 1500w (5
hp) and 60L (16 gallon) hold tank. Connect a 5mm inner diameter (usually 8mm
outer diameter) air hose to the machine. Charge the compressor to 0.6-0.7 Mpa,
up to 0.8 Mpa (120 psi) if possible. Set the desired pneumatic pressure on the
air reducing valve of the heat press by pulling up the cap at the top end and
then turning it. After the pressure is set, push the cap back down. The set
pressure should be lower than on the manometer of the compressor. Commonly
used pressures are between 0.4 to 0.6 Mpa (60 to 90 psi).
Power Supply
The heat press requires a power supply. Please ensure that it is connected
to a suitable power outlet.
Operation of Solenoid Valve
On the side of the solenoid valve, there are two silver/golden screws which
restrict the air flow speed of the cylinder. If the screws are screwed out, it
accelerates up/down process of the cylinder. When the screws are screwed in,
it slows down up/down process of the cylinder. Fix the respective setting with
the corresponding counter nuts by tightening them by hand.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintenance work should always be accomplished with the press switched off
and cooled down. The plug must first be disconnected from the power socket.
Consult Technical Support before carrying out any maintenance work. Clean the
press regularly with a soft cloth and mild household cleaner to remove
adhesive residues etc.
Controller
With the temperature controller, temperature (°C and °F) and pressing time can
be adjusted. The Set Value are showing the setting value, the Temperature
digits are showing the actual value. Counter (reset after power off) function
that counts the number of transfers that have already been made during the
current session could be enabled, contact MEM for counter function enable
instruction. 
Do not change parameters except Pb and SL2
without our instruction.
