General Information
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PACE model MBT 350 Soldering/Desoldering System. This manual will
provide you with the information necessary to properly set up, operate and maintain the MBT 350.
Please read this manual thoroughly before using the unit. The MBT 350 system is designed for the
most demanding soldering applications. The MBT 350 allows either SENSATEMP or TEMPWISE
technology handpieces to be plugged into any of 3, continuously active, handpiece channels. The
MBT 350 offers the benefits of SENSATEMP and TEMPWISE in a single system.
PACE’s legendary SENSATEMP technology is renowned for its temperature stability and ability to
handle high mass applications. For smaller components and when throughput is important, there is
TEMPWISE. TEMPWISE is a patented technology that boasts the best response time for high
volume applications and easily keeps up in a fast paced environment.
The MBT 350 unit is available in either the 115 VAC or 230 VAC versions. The 230 VAC version
system bears the CE Conformity Marking which assures the user that it conforms to all the
requirements of (EU) directive EMC 89/336/EEC & 73/23/EEC.
