    The SRA Smart Reflow Analyzer raises the bar for Smart Factory systems and is another of the many smart devices and systems KIC offers to improve your production quality, productivity, and documentation.

  • Page 5: Review Your Sra Kit

    Review Your SRA Kit Upon receiving your SRA kit, check it to make sure that all the required components are there. The specific contents of your kit will match the configuration— datalog or wireless—that you ordered. The full catalog of parts appears below.

  • Page 6: Sra Hardware Initialization

    SRA Hardware Initialization To begin profiling in either datalog or Wi-Fi mode, you must first set up your SRA for use on your PC. Both modes communicate to the computer through a standard USB port – datalog mode uses a cable, Transmitter (Wi-Fi) mode uses the Smart Dock.

    RF Exposure statement: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of at least 20cm must be maintained between the SRA Smart Flow Analyzer and all persons when WiFi data is being transmitted.

  • Page 24: Calibrating The Sra

    Reinstallation of SRA module into main assembly The CJREF offset is the amount of temperature to add or subtract from the base profiler readings. KIC recommends setting this value to the same temperature as the CJREF (Internal) temperature. You can view the CJREF (Internal) temperature by clicking the Get Current TC button on the Calibration Log screen displayed during the procedure.

  • Page 25: Remove Sra Module

    Connect the SRA module to the computer USB port. (The device should power on automatically when connected to the PC.) Connect the calibration adapter cables to the SRA module, making sure to note the orientation of the connector. The side of the connectors stamped with the word ‘Top’ should face up. Either connector can plug into either slot of the SRA module.
