General Information
Introduction
The MTS family of rework systems offer the greatest level of flexibility for your operations. PACE
offers 10 different handpieces that can be used with the MTS systems. MTS systems feature
HEATWISE performance control technology. The key to HEATWISE is PACE’s POWERMODULES.
Power Modules control the performance level of the attached handpiece(s) and a wide range of
Power Modules are available. Power Modules are clearly visible from a distance so you can tell what
performance level operators are using for quick and easy process verification and by restricting
access to POWERMODULES, you can protect your process by locking operators into using the
performance level you specify. The MTS 200 is available in a self contained version as well as a
shop air version. The MTS 200 provides 2 handpiece channels that are active simultaneously. One
channel can power any of PACE’s Heater Cartridge (HC) handpieces and the other can power any of
PACE’s Fixed Heater (FH) Handpieces. See chart below. The MTS 300/350 provides 3 handpiece
channels that are simultaneously active. The MTS 300 features 2 HC channels and one FH channel,
the MTS 350 features 1 HC channel and 2 FH channels. The system also comes standard with Auto-
Setback and Auto-Off functions to preserve tip life.
Applicable Regulations
MTS systems are available in either 115 VAC or 230 VAC versions, which incorporate a highly
responsive, closed loop control system providing up to 150 Watts of total output power. The 230 VAC
version system bears the CE Conformity Marking, which assures the user that it conforms to EMC
89/336/EEC.
The 115 VAC version systems conform to FCC Emission Control Standard, Title 47, Subpart B, Class A.
This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
