TIP SELECTION
Selection of the proper tip is essential for effective operation. Attempts to use an
improperly sized tip will result in unsatisfactory handpiece operation and may result
in lifted lands or board damage.
Table I details a partial listing of available tips. Contact your local authorized PACE
dealer for the latest Tips & Accessories Catalogue which details all available tips
and accessories.
TIP INSTALLATION
The following instructions are for tip installation only. If a tip is currently installed
in the handpiece, remove the installed tip (heater hot) and clean both heater bores
using the supplied 3/16" diameter wire brush prior to the installation of a new tip.
1. Select the proper tip for your application. Refer to Table 1.
2. Insert the tip shafts fully into the heater bores.
3. Using the supplied Tip & Vacuum Cup Tool
(P/N 1100-0239) or small screwdriver,
tighten the heater assembly set screws for a
snug fit. Do not over tighten.
NOTE
The DTP-80 tips must be kept properly tinned and free of oxidation to
maximize tip life. Use the tip cleaning tools to remove all traces of solder
from the heated tip. Carefully inspect for any oxidation buildup. If
oxidation is present, re-tin and clean the tip until no oxidation spots
remain. Immediately tin the tip surfaces and keep them tinned at all times.
