DRY RUN
The Dry Run feature, located in the Solder Feeder section of the display, is a very useful tool
to aid users in validating their program. The purpose of this feature is to allow the user to validate all
positions of programmed points within a profile, validate transition paths across the board, transition
paths to the cleaning zone, among many others. This allows users to resolve a majority of issues,
well before ever putting solder to the iron. The function is toggled on and off:
When activated, the following actions will take place:
The Connection Validation Settings will be disabled
RF will automatically shut off without the ability to turn it on until the Dry Run is either
completed or toggled off
o
In other words, the iron will remain cool, preventing any damage to the PCBA under
testing.
No solder will dispense on any joint
All time delays (start delay, feed delay, and dwell) are disabled for the duration of the run
o
The system defaults to a one second pause at each joint
Along with the actions mentioned above, the system will execute the program in the order that
was programmed, executing cleaning zone commands in the intervals defined by the user.
To further aid in perfecting a given profile, the Dry Run can be used in combination with the
Profile Step Run Feature, located within the Global Settings Directory, within the System Settings
Menu.
