Page 4: Check List
CHECK LIST The following equipment has been packed and checked before despatch. Please un-crate the CIR-KIT WELD 450 very carefully. Also, please ensure that ALL of the equipment is unwrapped from its individual packing BEFORE the packaging is discarded. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE GUARANTEE ON THIS EQUIPMENT WILL BE INVALIDATED IF DAMAGE IS CAUSED THROUGH MISHANDLING OR WRONG INSTALLATION.
Page 5: Safety Instructions
The CIR-KIT WELD 450 is an extremely safe machine to use. However, some precautions must be adhered to when working or repairing it: • Never connect the CIR-KIT WELD 450 to any voltage or frequency other than that stated on the label at the back of the machine.
Page 6: Introduction
A few minutes of your time spent now reading through this handbook, could save your many hours later and will ensure that you will get the very best from your CIR-KIT WELD 450. The CIR-KIT WELD 450 is a complete Repair Station with all the necessary equipment needed to repair open circuits and reduced width tracks on populated and bare PCB’s.

Page 8: Quick Installation Procedure
QUICK INSTALLATION PROCEDURE For people with previous experience of the Cir-Kit Weld 450. Inexperienced people should refer to the full instructions in the INSTALLATION PROCEDURE on page 9. To adjust the foot cable and electrodes Set the height adjustment on the front of the machine to 0 mm adjust the electrodes so there is a 4 mm gap between the bottom of the electrodes and the glass table.
Page 9: Installation Procedure
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE • Having unpacked the CIR-KIT WELD 450 from its crate, check all of the components against the Packing Check List, and familiarise yourself with all parts listed. • Place the CIR-KIT WELD 450 on a solid table or workbench, (recommended height 30ins (760mm), depth 34ins (860mm)) with an open back, i.e.
Page 10 • IMPORTANT NOTE: If voltage is wrong, DO NOT proceed with installation and DO NOT switch the machine on. Contact SEETRAX or your local SEETRAX Distributor. If the voltage is correct SWITCH ON O/I. See Figure 2, page 20). • Adjust the Work Light position.

Page 12: Operating Instructions - Part 1
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - PART 1 Place a chair in front of the CIR-KIT WELD 450's table. Place the Foot Switch in front and slightly to the right of the chair. Place a scrap PCB (or assembly) to be repaired onto the work base with the damaged PCB track under the electrodes.
Page 13 To recall any memory channel, depress Recall (R), followed by adjust buttons + or - until the channel number is displayed Depress (R) again and the Amps or Time allocated to that channel will be displayed. The CIR-KIT WELD 450 will operate at that energy level and work lamp intensity.
Page 14 Repeat steps 6 to 16 using different size ribbons, tracks or track finishes and put the figures into the CIR-KIT WELD 450's memory by selecting Programme Switch. If reduced width tracks are to be repaired, follow procedures 11 to 16. If a length of over 3/8"...

Simple! Detect the o/c by visual inspection or electrical testing. Place the pcb on the CIR-KIT WELD 450 base with the o/c track under and slightly to the right of the weld head electrodes. Select a repair ribbon of suitable width from the choice of three supplied, and with the hand tool supporting it, lay it on top of the damaged track.
Page 17 WHAT EFFECT DOES THE PRESSURE SETTING HAVE ON THE WELD? The adjustable pressure control of the electrodes is to ensure the optimum electrical contact between track and ribbon. Insufficient pressure will cause excessive heating between ribbon and electrode and produce a cold weld, or the ribbon sticking to the electrode.
Page 18 WHAT RIBBON CAN I USE AS THE REPAIR AGENT? SEETRAX CU series is the ribbon we recommend. It is a reel copper ribbon with just a "flash" of tin-lead plating on it to prevent oxidation.
Page 19 CAN I ADJUST THE ELECTRODE POSITION FRONT TO BACK? Yes. Follow these instructions to move the Electrodes, either back or forward if the repair ribbon is sliding off the track. For only very fine adjustments the electrodes can be slightly bent as they are very strong and will not break. •...

Page 22 PRINCIPLES OF GAP WELDING The CIR-KIT WELD 450 employs a closed loop system that 'looks' at the weld as it is taking place, and modifies the power output accordingly. This loop is essential as during the weld the temperature rises and the resistance of the workpiece also rises, causing the heat to be automatically reduced.
