FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) 1.) What IR solderlight gun temperature should I use? Between 180380°C. Only increase the IR solderlight gun tempera ture after you have increased the preheater to the required tem perature. Always preheat the PCB (between 30 and 90 seconds) to allow heat to conduct through the component before applying the IR solderlight gun. 2.) What is the working distance of the IR solderlight gun and how do I move it for rework? ...
