Additional protection function: if temperature sensor is not connec-
ted or the wire is interrupted, then an audible alarm can be heard
and a message:
Warning: temperature is too high

on the screen.
Feeding the etching chamber
The machine can take at a time either 1 board of 210 x 300
mm or e.g. 3 boards of 100 x 160 mm. The left side of the
board holder is fixed to the machine's cover. This pivot al-
lows to either put the board holder in it's horizontal operation
position or to put it vertically for feeding/discharging boards.
We have chosen this principle to allow that the liquid can
easily drop off from the boards (saving rinse water) and that
the dropped of liquid immediately returns into the machine.
The board holder has two bars mounted on titanium pins.
They can be adjusted in height and thus allow adaptation to
different board sizes.
One of the bars carries three clamps. These allow to mount the boards to the holder without neces -
sity to slide the entire bars for and back. To feed a board, proceed
as follows: Keep the board with your right hand, insert it into the
clamp(s), keep it there with your left hand and make it snap into
the right bar's PVC teeth. To dismount, proceed in reverse order.
On the surrounding frame the Splash-Center has two small pieces
of dark grey PVC in front of the tanks. These provide a stand for
the board holder, so you have both hands free for placing the
PCBs in the holder.
Rinsing - Splash
After retracting the boards from the holder, immerse them into the
rinsing tank and move them slightly for and back. On the upper
right of the rinsing tank, there is a slotted bar. Put the rinsed boards there to allow them to drip off.
We recommend that you wear thin latex gloves when handling the boards. There is space to put the
gloves on the frontal or the right side of the rinsing tank's surrounding.
Rinsing - Splash-Center
The machine provides multiple rinse technique. The first tank is a static rinse that accepts most of
the metal salts sitting on the board after etching. The next tank is a combined static and spray rinse.
Here you immerse the board into the rinse water, then you press the foot switch and while pulling
the PCB upwards, the spray rinse gives it a final cleaning. What you get is a triple rinse in two tanks.
This allows to reach the minimum requirements for environmentally safe rinse techniques: Each
rinse step dilutes the remaining copper concentration by a factor of 10, so the water going through
the overflow is purified by a factor of 1000.
