Congratulations!
Your selection of the Insta heat seal machine is a sound business decision. Insta equipment is
the result of the highest quality engineering and time-tested design. Your new machine
combined with Insta’s reputation of innovation in the heat-sealing field, ensures the continuing
capability of delivering the best decorated substrates possible.
This manual describes installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for your 907 series
machine, as well as easy to use instructions for on-the-spot maintenance.
Your machine will have a long trouble-free life. Read this manual and keep it with your
machine. It's your key to proper operation and lasting service.
General Description
The 907 is a dual station shuttle press for high speed label application. This pneumatic heat
press machine is air-operated to prevent operator fatigue and is equipped with 2 independent
lower platens, with an upper heated platen that swings between the two, for optimal efficiency
The 907 has been strategically designed to generate & evenly distribute tremendous pressure
throughout the entire platen. And, its cast-in tubular heating element heats the metal from
within, to produce consistent and long lasting heat. A successful heat transfer application
requires 3 key elements to work in tandem– time, temperature & pressure. The 907 has
mastered those elements and gets the job done every time.
Our heat press machines serve as a method of product identification and provide customers
with a means of branding their textile-based products through the application of tagless labels,
logos, decorative front and back graphics and over-sized prints.
Limited Machine Warranty
Insta warrants this heat seal machine, when operated under normal conditions, to be free from
manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year on parts (lifetime
on the upper heating element) and 90 days on labor from the invoice date.
This warranty will be effective only when Insta authorizes the original purchaser to return the
product to the factory in Cerritos, California freight prepaid, and only when the product upon
examination has proven to be defective.

Installation
DOMESTIC – 907
Use a separate 15 amp AC
circuit. Only industrial extension
cords with proper wire size should
be used: size 18/3 wire for
distances up to 25 feet, and size
16/3 for distances up to 50 feet.
INTERNATIONAL – 907
Use a designated 16-amp AC
circuit. Only industrial extension
cords with proper wire size (2.5
sq. mm) shall be used.
IMPORTANT
The appliance must be plugged
into a proper receptacle of the
proper size and rating. Equally
important the line voltage must be
able to accommodate this
appliance as well as other
appliances operating on this
circuit.
Degree of Protection
IP (Ingress Protection) rating according to IEC
60529.
NOTE
IEC 60529 does not specify sealing
effectiveness against the following:
mechanical damage of the equipment;
the risk of explosion; certain types of
liquid conditions, e.g. those that are
produced by condensation; corrosive
vapours; funus; vermin

Operation
1. Push ON/OFF switchto ON position.
2. Set desired temperature (See Controller
Operation).
3. Allow the machine to warm up until the selected
temperature is reached.
4. Set the desired pressure by adjusting the air
pressure regulator.
5. Select the desired timing cycle (See Controller
Operation).
6. Place the substrate on lower platen, smoothing
out all wrinkles.
7. Position transfer or lettering on substrate.
8. Swing the upper arm into position directly over
the lower platen.
SAFETY DELAY FEATURE
For operator safety the machine
shall not operate unless the upper
platen has fully reached the left
hand position. An additional delay
has been incorporated in machines
running software 2.29 (see point 9).
9. Depress and hold both start buttons, one on
each side of the machine, simultaneously until
the lower platen contacts the upper platen. The
start buttons must be held until the upper
and lower platens make contact. At this point
the machine operation is fully automatic. The
platens seal the transfer to the substrate and
then release automatically at the end of the
selected timing cycle.
Solid State Controller
This controller has three (4) control features:
1. Temperature - Temperature may be set from
125 - 450°F (52-232°C).
2. Time - Time may be set from 1 second to 10
minutes.
3. Counter – Cycle counter counts the number of
applications from 1 to 9999 (see additional Notes
– Counter).
4. Presets ‐ Five (5) presets that can be
programmed by the user. Each preset will retain
a temperature and time setting, i.e. Program #1
could be set for 325°F and 10 seconds while
Program #2 could be set for 375°F and 15
seconds. Once the five presets have been
programmed, the user need only press the PGM
button several times until the desired program is
selected. The lit LED above the PGM button
indicates the selected program. Note: there is
also a sixth setting that is indicated by no lit
LED's.
10. Swing away the upper platen to the opposite
side and remove substrate.
NOTE
Another substrate may be prepared
on the unused platen during the
sealing operation of the used
platen.
11. The DISENGAGE button may be pushed at
anytime deactivate the machine.

When the machine is operating with
none of the LED’s lit, i.e. no presets,
the time and temperature will be saved
even if the power is turned off. The
presets will also be saved when the
power is turned off.
Setting the Presets
1. Push and hold both the MODE and PGM
buttons for 3-5 seconds until one of the
programs LED's starts to blink. This is the
programming mode.
2. A blinking LED above the PGM button
indicates which preset is active.
3. Select a program (1,2,3,4,or 5) by pressing
the PGM button.
4. Setting Temperature
