This manual details the basic operational guidelines for using the TJ-70 Mini ThermoJet
handpiece. A detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual For Accessories (P/N 5050-
0350) is available from PACE.
CAPABILITIES
The TJ-70 Mini ThermoJet Handpiece provides safe, continuous flow of precision
focused hot air for component installation and SMT land preparation. It is primarily
an installation tool and can be used for hot air installation of most surface mount
components. Its slim-line, pencil grip design and finger actuated control switch
facilitates ease of use and manipulation in tight places. The TJ-70 is a member of the
PACE SensaTemp family of advanced handpieces.
CAUTION
Always return heated handpieces to the appropriate Hot Cubby when not
in actual use. Failure to do so may cause burns to the operator, equipment
or work surfaces, and may be a potential ignition source if combustible
materials are nearby. Always use this handpiece in a well ventilated area
to avoid inhalation of fumes created by solder flux gases.
HANDPIECE SETUP
Connect the handpiece power cable plug to one of the handpiece power receptacles
on your PACE power source. PACE recommends that air handpieces utilize the power
receptacles closest to the
SNAP-VAC
and Controllable
PRESSURE
Ports to minimize
cord tangles. Connect an Air Hose to the TJ-70 using the method listed below.
Determine the proper tip to install and install the tip in the method listed under “Tip
Installation”.
NOTE
If using your TJ-70 Mini ThermoJet Handpiece for the first time or if you have
just replaced the heater, we recommend that you follow the “TJ-70 Heater
Burn-in” procedure (Red tag on handpiece) to increase the life expectancy
of the heater and to minimize any smoke and fumes generated by the heater
on its initial power-up.
