1.15.1 Filling with GALDEN
Take off the stainless steel /glass lid of
DINO-CONDENS-
IT
.
Fill the stainless process chamber until the middle of the bottom the stainless process chamber is completely
covered with approx.
1.65 liter Galden = 3 kg
such that there is at least
8-
10 mm= 0.31”-0.39”
of Galden
in the bottom.
Use the supplied dipstick (brass or aluminum tube)
Never fill the process chamber if the temperature of the liquid is above 100 °C. 212 °F
1.15.2 Effect of adding large quantity of Galden to the process chamber:
A larger capacity leads to slower heating and cooling and this results in higher energy consumption, but otherwise
has no adverse effect on the soldering process.
1.15.3 Effect of adding too small quantity of Galden to the process chamber:
DANGEROUS!!!
.
As the bottom of the process chamber, when heaters are present, sometimes bulges out into the chamber, it may
occur, that at some point of time these bulges will rise above the liquid level and cause the temperature to rise
above 300°C. This may result in damaged heaters and release of dangerous fumes due the Galden
See Message
below.
Warning!
GALDEN decomposes when heated above 295 °C =563 °F into harmful components!
The DINO-CONDENS-
IT
does NOT check automatically if there is sufficient level of GALDEN in the
process chamber.
Therefor you have to check the GALDEN level on a regular and conscientious basis with the
Supplied dipstick (brass tube/aluminium).
If you notice low level of Galden during the soldering process, press
stop/cooling
button, leave the glass lid
closed, and keep a distance from the unit and ensure good ventilation. This will lower its temperature as quickly as
possible.
When the machine has
cooled down to less 100 °C = 212 °F
, you can refill GALDEN
1.15.4 Open the lid
The lid of the
DINO-CONDENS-
IT
is an important part of the safety, and should always be closed if no
manipulation in the process chamber (inserting/removing of boards, cleaning) are required.
Due the built-in micro switch the soldering process could be only be started when the lid is closed!
The other advantage of the glass in the lid is to minimize the escape of GALDEN vapor while allowing observation
of the soldering process, without breathing the ascending vapors.
Never open the lid during the process of soldering! The GALDEN vapor escaping out of the chamber is extremely
hot and can cause severe burns! (In case of an emergency exercise great caution while opening the lid in mid
process.)
If you open the lid or move during an ongoing process of soldering the soldering process will be interrupted and
the heating system switched off!
