Installation
Takeover from transport companies
After receiving and unpacking the machine, check for possible transport damage. In case
of transport damage, please inform your insurance company, the carrier and the
manufacturer / supplier.
Site
The oven must be level and around the machine there must be sufficient space for
operation and maintenance (about 1 m on all sides). When setting up the machine,
observe all safety prevention regulations and other local regulations.
The oven should be set up on a well accessible table. The surface must be level and
heat resistant and be able to carry at least a load of 30 kg.
Install the device near exhaust vent. For the connection between the stove and the vent,
use the supplied Aluminium foil pipe D100.
Make sure the power supply is correctly protected (13A) and residual current protection.
The outlet height of the exhaust air should be about 1m above the machine to use the
chimney effect.
Do not place any other objects on the device, especially no flammable liquids, such as:
As water, hot water, alcohol, methanol, gasoline.
The machine can be cleaned in the cooled state. Wipe the inside of the machine with a
dishcloth. You can use some rinse water or anhydrous alcohol. Do not switch on the
machine until it is completely dry.
At the beginning of operation, odours may occur during operation. This is a normal
phenomenon. After a while, this kind of smell disappears.
When not in use, turn off the main switch and unplug the power cord
If you are not going to use the device for a long time, you should take it out, pack it and
put it back in the original container in order to avoid moisture damage.
If you want to solder small PCB or FPC board pieces, use a high temperature mica
board. Leave at least 30 mm space between the boards on four sides to ensure uniform
heating.
The manufacturer's specifications in the menu are only clues. Use tests to determine the
optimal parameters for your application. Temperature-sensitive precision devices such
as LED, s laser head, micro connectors, soft packages, ICs or similar. Can be soldered
by gently lowering the temperature while lengthening the times.
For components that can withstand high temperatures, you can increase the soldering
temperature accordingly to shorten the reflow soldering time.
