When running in Teach Mode, once the Board Thermocouple reaches this
temperature the software will advance to the Heat 1 (Preheat) stage. The
time required to reach this temperature will be recorded in the “Time”
field. When running in Run Mode this field will be ignored.

Heat Stage Settings:
The following settings apply to each of the three heat stages (Preheat, Soak, and Reflow).
Part TC Target
When running in Teach Mode, the software will compare the Part
Thermocouple reading to this temperature to determine when to advance
to the next stage. The time required to reach this temperature is recorded
in the “Time” field. In Run Mode, this field will be ignored.

This is the temperature setting for the top heater.
Time
In Run Mode, this field is used by the software to determine when to

These three buttons control the air flow setting through the top heater for
each stage.

Z Move Table (Auto-Z equipped machines only)
Each recipe has an independent set of Z-positions. The “Set” button next to each field applies the
current Z location to that field. The “GoTo” button moves the Z-axis to the current setting for that field.
The Jog buttons (opened from the Manual Control button on the Main Screen) can be accessed while the
Recipe Setup screen remains open to help set up the Z Move Table.
Focus
The height at which the underside of the component is in focus when
performing an alignment.
Nest
The height the Z-axis will move to prior to extending the nest in
preparation for picking up or dropping off a component. The height
should be set to accommodate the thickness of the component to avoid
collision with the nest.
