V. INSTALLATION & SET-UP (Refer to Figs. 1, 2 & 3)
A. Placement of the unit:
The GW-10 needs a stable benchtop for set-up.
I m p o r t a n t,
Using a horizontal
b u bble level, adjust the four leveling feet until the machine is properly leveled.
Refer to figures 1, 2 and 3 for set-up.
B. Attach laser light locator assembly and tighten all joints with set screws provided
Ensure that laser light locator beam centers in wave solder nozzle.
C . Connecting to Power: Electrical connection should be made by qualified electrician.
D . Attach appropriate solder nozzle and turn to secure. (see fig. 3.)
C A U T I O N !
Do not turn on solder heater until solder pot is filled with solder.
E. Attach foot pedal to connector at front right side of machine.
F. Initial Filling of Solder:
1. Remove board holder plate, and top insulation.
2. High purity virgin solder is recommended for good solderability. During
initial solder charge, small solder chunks should be used to line the
bottom and sides to avoid burn-out of elements. Larger solder bars or sticks
may then be added to speed up loading.
3. The heater elements are located at the bottom of the solder pot. Ensure that
the solder is nicely packed around the entire bottom surface.
4. When the solder melts, the level of solder will be below the top edge of the
solder pot. Add more solder to raise the solder level to about 1/4 in.
(6.35 mm) from the top edge of the solder pot.
