QUICK START

INSTALLATION

NOTE

The ThermoFlo System Work Platform
(PACE part number 6018-0099) is optionally
available to assist in the installation/removal
process.

1. Install proper Nozzle & Vacuum Cup (if required) into ThermoFlo

Handpiece.

2. Turn Power Switch ON. Press MODE/ESC Key until Timed Install

Mode Light illuminates.

3. Adjust Set Temperature, Blower Speed and Cycle Time as desired

using Scroll Keys. See

➀

4. When using a single jet Nozzle, place component by hand and proceed

to step 7.

5. Position replacement component directly beneath & square to nozzle.

6. Lower Vacuum Cup to contact component. Press Vacuum Switch to

activate vacuum and grasp component. Adjust height of component to
nozzle. See

➁

7. Lower Nozzle to direct air flow to solder joints. If component is held

by vacuum, hold component to a point where its leads/contacts rest
gently on or just above the land pattern. See

➂

8. Press and release handpiece Cycle Switch to initiate reflow cycle.

See

➂

NOTE

Five seconds prior to cycle completion,
vacuum will stop automatically.

9. When cycle is complete, lift handpiece.
