6. Operation
Note: It is recommended that the TF 1700 and TF 2700 be turned on for at least 10
minutes before use to ensure the bottom side heater has reached its set temperature and
stabilized. Once the bottom side heater is at operating temperature it will deliver
consistent heating, ensuring highly repeatable heating from operation to operation.
It is also advisable to conduct a trial operation each day to warm the top heater
and ensure all systems are operating properly. It is important to verify the airflow of the
unit with each profile to be run.
Verify that the devices/parts being soldered to the PCB do not exceed the height
limitations. Exceeding the limitations may interfere with the operation of the machine.
The maximum height of any component or device on the top of the PCB is limited
to 30mm (1.2”).
The maximum height of any component or device on the bottom of the PCB is
limited to 15 mm (0.6”).
