KICstart Hardware
The KICstart is a data logger- solder reflow
process setup tool. The KICstart configuration
guarantees a perfect profile every time by
recording the data internally. When the
KICstart profiler has completed its run through
the process, the internally logged profile is
automatically downloaded once the
communication cable is connected.

Removing the KICstart cover
To remove the
KICstart cover or change the battery you will have to first unscrew the battery cover from
the bottom side of the KICstart . This will require a small Flathead screwdriver. The screw has a retaining
clip to keep it in place so it will not come all the way out. Just loosen it enough so the cover comes free.
Remove the battery cover.
Locate the retention slots on the side of the
KICstart cover. To remove the KICstart cover you will need to
apply equal pressure to 2 of the retention springs on the same side, and then pull up on the cover slightly.
Do the same for the other side retention springs. Once both sides have been lifted slightly, you should be
able to remove the cover easily.
You can use a small Flathead screwdriver to assist this procedure.
