Micron® 1300W Hot Air SMD Rework Station
• Initially, the nozzle may emit white smoke, but this will soon dissipate.
• Never allow the hot air to blow against your skin. Never point the nozzle at anyone when using
the device. Keep the hot air from the nozzle away from the eyes and face.
• When the power cord is connected to the mains power supply, there is a little electricity flowing
into the unit; even though the power switch is in the off position. So when you don’t use the unit
for a longer period of time, disconnect the plug.
OPERATION SETUP
1.
Select the Nozzle that matches the size of the IC. Attach the nozzle when both the heating element and
the nozzle are cool and the unit is turned off and unplugged.
2.
Loosen the screw on the nozzle. Attach the preferred nozzle.
IMPORTANT: Do not force the nozzle or pull on the edge of the nozzle with pliers. Also, do not tighten the
set-screw too tightly.
Factory Setting:
• CH1. Temperature 150°C air volume 100- (1000cm3/sec)
• CH2. Temperature 300°C air volume 150- (1500cm3/sec)
• CH3. Temperature 450°C air volume 200- (2000cm3/sec)
PROGRAM SETTINGS: CH1 / CH2 / CH3
This touchscreen model has a memory for three pre-set temperature levels – CH1, CH2, CH3. These
channels are accessed by pressing the green button on the blower handle. Each time you press this
button, the screen with scroll to the next CH number in sequence, and eventually loop back to CH1.
Follow these steps to access the different programs available on this unit.
1.
While pressing the SET button on the screen and the green button on the handle for two seconds, the
blue ‘00’ number on the LCD starts to flash after the buttons are released.
2.
This number is used for the calibration temperature. If you do not need to calibrate the temperature,
press the SET button and the CH1 and temperature will start to flash. Use the and arrow symbols
under the CH icon to adjust to the required temperature.
3.
When the unit reaches the desired temperature, please press the SET button again to switch to
the air flow adjustment. The number below the CH1 starts to flash and the air flow volume can
be adjusted from 0-200cm3/sec.
4.
Press SET again to adjust the temperature of CH2, and then press SET once more to adjust the
air volume of CH2. Follow the same pattern to set the temperature and air flow parameters for
CH3.
5.
At the end of this sequence of settings, press SET one final time to switch the display between °C
or °F units. Whichever units are flashing on screen, a single touch of any arrow will change it to
the other units for temperature measurement.
6.
After all the program settings have been determined, press ENTER to complete and store the
new parameters. Alternatively, if you just needed to adjust one of the three channels, then you
can change the temperature and air flow settings for that channel and simply press enter to
store them.
NOTE: To protect the life of the heater, the air volume should never be set to zero when the
heating element is on. It is recommended that the higher the temperature, the higher the air
flow should be.
