Micron® 1300W Hot Air SMD Rework Station
OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the T 1287A SMD Rework Station – a great solution for your soldering equipment
needs! This tool is specifically designed for soldering and desoldering Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) with
temperature controlled hot air. The T 1287A will achieve marked improvements in the quality and efficiency
of your rework tasks. Please carefully read the operating manual prior to operation in order to maximize
the advantages of using your new T 1287A SMD rework station, and keep this manual readily accessible
for future reference.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without assis-
tance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using
it safely. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Failure to observe this safety regulation could result in a risk to life and limb. The manufactur-
er or supplier shall not be liable for damage resulting from misuse of the unit or unauthorised
alterations.
DESCRIPTION
The temperature-controlled T 1287A Hot-Air SMD rework station has been built around an intelligent
microcomputer chip, which is specially designed to work with lead-free SMD chips. The T1287A was
developed to meet the present and future Lead- free soldering needs of the electronic production industry
and suitable for work on professional SMD electronics. The many features of the T 1287A make it the
ideal tool for service and repair technicians as well as production line soldering operations.
This appliance is equipped with a high-power heating element that heats up quickly. High-quality sensors
and consistent heat-transfer technology ensure precise temperature regulation. The aluminum alloy hous-
ing is strong and acts as a reliable heat sink and is resistant to electro-magnetic interference. It also meets
RoHS standards requirement. The LCD touchscreen on the front panel provides a user with a clear vision
and convenient function setting controls. The temperature is maintained /-3° of its operating tem-
perature by a thermocouple sensor placed in the head of the heating element.
FEATURES
• Specially-designed intelligent microcomputer chip system. Comfortable and convenient operation.
• Easy to read digital LCD touch display with simple to use buttons to control temperature and air flow.
• Quick heating high-power element, with a maximum of 1300W.
• Ideally suited to desoldering ICs such as: SOIC, CHIP, QFP, PLCC, BGA etc. The built in static-free cir-
cuit design is safe for the sensitive circuit components elements like CMOS ICs.
• Air flow is shut off automatically when handpiece is placed in the cradle – 5sec cool down blow cycle.
• Auto-cooling design: When the power is switched off, the cooling system begins automatically.
• Heating element auto-protecting function: When the heating element reaches a high
temperature, this function automatically protects the element, thereby preventing the element
from premature failure.
CAUTION:
DO NOT WORK ON LIVE CIRCUITS
• Before working on any mains powered equipment, make sure that it is turned off, and the
mains plug is removed from the power point. You must not undertake work on live parts.
DO NOT USE IF DAMAGED
• If the power lead becomes damaged or the soldering station becomes faulty, discontinue use
immediately.
