TT-65
POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
Connect the handpiece connector plug into one of the Power Receptacles on your
PACE power source in the following manner.
1. Align guide on connector with slot on power
receptacle.
2. Insert connector into power receptacle.
3. Turn the connector housing clockwise to
lock in place.
NOTE
If using your ThermoTweez for the first time or if you have just replaced the
heater, we recommend that you follow the “Heater Burn-in” procedure
(Red tag on handpiece) to increase the life expectancy of the heater.
TIP TEMPERATURE
The TT-65 efficiently transfers heat by contact and typically allows component
removal at relatively low temperatures in the 288 - 343°C (550 - 650°F) range. Tip
temperature and removal times will vary with each application. PACE recommends
the use of a 316°C (600°F) tip temperature setting for initial use in any particular
application. With practice, many components can be removed at lower
temperatures. Use the lowest possible tip temperature that will provide rapid, yet
controlled solder reflow. Lower temperatures extend tip and heater life, allow
solder to remain on the lower surfaces of the tip (to improve thermal linkage
between the tip and the component during component removal) and help prevent
possible board damage.
Refer to the Tip & Temperature Selection System booklet for your particular
handpiece/tip combination. For all Dial Display SensaTemp systems, the booklet
will indicate the correct Dial Setting for the True Tip Temperature desired. On
systems incorporating a Digital Readout, set the desired operating temperature and
Tip Offset Constant for the TT-65 handpiece/tip combination into the channel
powering the TT-65.
