Led Operation - Pace ST 65 Operation & Maintenance Manual

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 System booklet (PACE P/N
5050-0251) as a guide to accurately set and maintain a true tip temperature for any size
and type of SMT tip.

LED Operation

The Green colored LED on the power source front panel indicates System Status and
Power Receptacle output status (LED OFF, ON or Flashing). Following is an explanation
of these status indicators.
LED Full On - Continuous power is being delivered to the handpiece. This condition is
evident when the system is first powered up (handpiece heater cold) or the Variable
Temperature Control setting is increased.
LED Flashing - Indicates that the set tip temperature (as set on the 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 heater. This condition is evident
for a short period of time when set temperature is reached and stabilizing or if the Variable
Temperature Control setting is decreased. If the LED never illuminates, check for a faulty
handpiece (see Corrective Maintenance section). Also, if no handpiece is connected to
the power source, the LED will not illuminate.
