3. Ensure the VisiFilter assembly is connected to either the ST 125/145
VACUUM
Port.
4. Connect the air hose of the handpiece being used, to either the VisiFilter assembly or the
controllable
PRESSURE
port.
The TEKLINK Remote Box (sold separately) allows the connection of up to three ST 25/45 systems in
any combination.
NOTE:
Systems connected together through the TEKLINK system must be used and controlled
by a single operator. Any attempt to operate by more than one individual can create a
hazardous condition and will cause deterioration in performance.
System Power Up
1. Insert the female end of the power cord into the AC Power Receptacle on the rear panel of
the power source.
2. Plug the prong end (male end) of the power cord into an appropriate 3 wire grounded AC
supply receptacle.
CAUTION:
To insure operator and ESD/EOS safety, the AC power supply receptacle must be
checked for proper grounding before initial operation.
Heater Burn In Procedure
Use the following instructions to perform the Heater Burn In procedure.
1. Place the Power Switch in the “OFF” (0) position.
2. Ensure that the handpiece is connected to the power source. If a plastic cap is present on
the heater assembly, remove it and discard. The cap is used for shipping purposes only.
Place the handpiece in the Tip & Tool Stand.
3. Turn on the power source.
4. Turn the Temperature dial to 315°C (600 °F) for 10 minutes.
5. Next, increase the temperature to 427°C (800°F) for 15 minutes.
6. Turn off the power source.
CAUTION:
The heater will be hot at the conclusion of the Burn In procedure.
NOTE:
This procedure should be performed whenever a new handpiece or new heater is
connected to the system. Ensure that the system is placed in a well-ventilated area.
Smoke will be generated during the burn in cycle and while soldering. Fume extraction
equipment is recommended.
Operation
Tip Offset
Differences between the temperature settings and true tip temperatures are negligible when using
Thru-Hole, single point soldering tips. With any heating system however, True Tip Temperatures can
differ greatly from temperature settings when using larger SMT soldering tips. This difference is
called Tip Temperature Offset. PACE recommends the use of the Tip & Temperature Selection
