General Information

 

 

Introduction 

 
Thank you for purchasing the PACE model MBT360 Desoldering & Rework System.  This manual will provide you 
with the information necessary to properly set up, operate and maintain your new system, please read it 
thoroughly. 
 
The MBT360 allows for continuous use of up to three handpieces using the two AccuDrive power ports and the 
SensaTemp power port. The MBT360 offers the reliability of SensaTemp and the speed of AccuDrive in a single 
system. 
 
PACE’s legendary SensaTemp technology is renowned for temperature stability and capability for high thermal 
mass applications. When dealing with smaller components or situations calling for high throughput, there is 
AccuDrive.  The technology that boasts the best response time for high volume applications and easily keeps up 
in a fast-paced environment. 
 
The MBT360 unit is available in either 120 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.
