6.5.3 Soldering instruction manual
6.5.3.1 Desoldering a component
The step-by-step sequence of the soldering process is described below.
6.5.3.1.1 Inserting a PCB
NOTE
ESD hazardous components!
Electronic components may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Please observe
the warnings on the packaging or contact the manufacturer or supplier. To protect
these elements, an ESD-proof work place is advisable (ESD = Electrostatic Discharge).
The HR 600/2 can be smoothly integrated in such an environment. Using one of the
buttons on the front, the user can for example connect an ESD strap. The housing of
the HR 600/2 is connected to the earth wire of the voltage supply network via the
kettle plug.
When handling the device, it is necessary to observe the common safety measures
that are usually implemented for ESD-hazardous components.
CAUTION
Material damage caused by overtightening the PCB holder!
Tighten all screws just enough to ensure that the PCB is securely fixed. Excessively
high tightening torques can cause damage to threads and circuit boards!
NOTE
Use the soldering fume extraction system!
Solder fumes are hazardous to health. For this reason, a soldering fume extraction sys-
tem should always be used. As regards the type of soldering fume extraction system,
we recommend using the Ersa “Easy Arm” with prefilter, HEPA, particle filter and ac-
tivated carbon filter. The device is equipped with a suitable connection for the solder-
ing fume extraction system. The soldering fume extraction system prevents the device
from accumulating dirt quickly.
