above 2000
meters
above sea level.
1.6.1
Filling quantities
Medium:
At least 750ml process medium.
Caution:
During installation, make sure that the heating tube in the process vessel is always covered with
medium!
Cooling water:
Pour approx. 1250ml liters of
distilled water
into the cooling circuit.

Initial startup
1.
Make sure that the installation surface has been selected correctly.
2.
Initialize the SD card as described in 2.3.3
3.
First fill the water tank initially with water as described in 1.10.1
4.
Set the voltage of the vapor phase correctly as described in 1.12
5.
Then plug in the mains plug of the vapor phase soldering system.
6.
Turn on the main switch of the vapor phase soldering system so that it starts and
calibrates.
7.
You can now swipe to the left and right on the touchscreen to change the operating
views. On the first operating view, you will see the "Open Lid" button. Press this
button and the process lid opens automatically. Now carefully fill the soldering
medium into the process vat so that the filling quantity is between the minimum and
maximum of the dipstick.
1.8
Description of the plant
The system is intended for reflow soldering of small quantities, prototypes and individual
pieces. Continuous operation of the system is not intended. The maximum working speed is
limited by the soldering profile, the corresponding cooling speed and the opening
temperature of the process chamber.

Safety devices
1.9.1
Monitoring of the plant cover
The travel speed is limited by the hardware with regard to operating voltage and
transmission ratio. There are various current limitations of the motor current as well as
overcurrent shutdowns. When an overcurrent event is registered, the lid automatically
moves up to prevent crushing between the process vat and the lid.
1.9.2
Housing
All contactable edges are rounded by design. No sharp-edged parts are installed. The
hexagons on the housing can lead to chafing, these should be touched with care.
