Tip & Temperature Selection
TIP OFFSET
Differences between temperature settings and true tip temperatures are negligible when using Thru-
hole, single point soldering or desoldering tips. With any heating system however, actual tip
temperatures can differ greatly from temperature control settings when using larger SMT soldering tips.
This difference is called Tip Temperature Offset. The PACE “Tip & Temperature Selection System”
allows you to select and maintain a True Tip Temperature for any size and type of tip using the
appropriate Tip Offset compensation value.
PACE recommends the use of the Tip & Temperature Selection System Booklet (PACE P/N 5050-
0251) included with your system) as a guide to accurately set and maintain a True Tip Temperature.
Select the appropriate handpiece chart (in the booklet) for your application; identify the correct tip and
Dial/Display setting for the desired tip temperature. Then set the Variable Temperature Control (Dial/
Display setting) for the channel powering the handpiece to obtain the desired True Tip Temperature.
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Adjust the Variable Temperature Control(s) to the desired temperature
setting. Notice that the control dial has a Gray scale denoting temperature
in °C (Celsius) and a Yellow scale denoting temperature in °F (Fahrenheit).
These numerical scales denote the set tip temperature x 100 (e.g., "3" on
the Yellow scale is 3 x 100 or 300°C).
Channel LED Operation
The Channel LED(s) are a visual indication of Power Output status. Following is an explanation of
these status indicators.
LED Full On -
Continuous power is being delivered to the handpiece connected to the associated
channel. This condition is evident when the system is first powered up (handpiece heater cold) or the
Variable Temperature Control is increased.
LED Flashing -
Indicates that the set tip temperature (as set on the associated Variable Temperature
Control) has been reached. Power to the handpiece is cycling off and on to maintain set temperature.
LED Off -
No power is being delivered to the handpiece connected to the associated channel. This
condition is evident if the Variable Temperature Control is decreased.
