2. Plug the prong end (male end) of the power cord into an appropriate 3 wire grounded AC
supply receptacle.
CAUTION:
To insure operator and ESD/EOS safety, the AC power supply receptacle must be
checked for proper grounding before initial operation.
NOTE:
Ensure that the system is placed in a well-ventilated area. Smoke will be generated
during the burn in cycle and while soldering. Fume extraction equipment is recommended
Burn In Procedure
Use the following instructions to perform the Heater Burn In procedure.
1. Place the Power Switch in the “OFF” (0) position.
2. Ensure that the handpiece is connected to the power source. If a plastic cap is present on
the heater assembly, remove it and discard. The cap is used for shipping purposes only.
Place the handpiece in the Tip & Tool Stand.
3. Turn on the power source.
4. Turn the Temperature dial to 315°C (600 °F) for 10 minutes.
5. Next, increase the temperature to 427°C (800°F) for 15 minutes.
6. Turn off the power source.
CAUTION:
The heater will be hot at the conclusion of the Burn In procedure.
This procedure should be performed whenever a new handpiece or new heater is connected
to the system.
PS-70/PS-90 Tip Installation
For maximum productivity and proper fit, install tips into your soldering iron when the heater is hot.
CAUTION:
To avoid burns or potential injury, always hold the handpiece with
the heater pointed at an angle up to prevent injury.
Installing PERMAGROUND Tips
1. PERMAGROUND Tips should be inserted into the heater with the tail
of the tip pointing towards the heater.
2. PERMAGROUND Tips can be used once the tip has been fully
inserted into the heater. The set screw is not required to hold the
PERMAGROUND Tip in the heater.
3. If proper Tip orientation is required, the set screw can be tightened to
hold the tip in place. Also, heat transfer will improve when the set
screw is used.
Installing Non-PERMAGROUND Tips
1. Insert the Tip fully into heater bore using the supplied Tip Tool.
2. Gently tighten the heater Set Screw.
3. Recheck the tip Set Screw periodically to insure that it remains
snug.
NOTE:
Periodically, clean the heater bore with a properly sized wire
brush (3/16" O.D. to insure optimum heat transfer and proper tip grounding when non-
PERMAGROUND tips are used.
