INTRODUCTION
The programmable Preheater, PCT-1000, features digital controls, four time-
programmable heating zones and one cooling zone that utilize a built-in thermocouple
(TC) for accurate feedback control. The PCT-1000 can also be used to provide a single
continuous source of constant heat. The external TC i/p function can be used as a
feedback control mechanism for accurate profiling of your circuit boards. Additionally,
this unit may be connected to the HCT-1000 as part of the Modular Rework System
(MRS). The MRS comprises the PCT-1000 Programmable Preheater, HCT-1000
Programmable Hot Air Tool, BH-1000 Board holder, ATH-1000 Adjustable Tool Holder
and LM-1000 LED Light Magnifier.
