6. Operation
Note: It is recommended that the TF 1500 be turned on for at least 15 minutes before
use to ensure the bottom side heater has reached its set temperature and stabilized.
Once the bottom side heater is at operating temperature it will deliver consistent heating,
ensuring highly repeatable heating from operation to operation.
It is advisable to conduct a trial operation each day to ensure all systems are
operating properly. Also, it is important to verify the airflow of the unit with each profile to
be run.
Verify that the devices/parts being soldered to the PCB do not exceed the height
limitations. Exceeding the limitations may interfere with the operation of the machine.
The maximum height of any component or device on the top of the PCB is limited
to 30mm (1.2”).
The maximum height of any component or device on the bottom of the PCB is
limited to 15 mm (0.6”).
Section 5 Calibration and Section 11 Adjustments and Alignments must be
performed before operation.
