Operation
Tip Offset values change as the Set Tip Temperature is changed. The
ST 40A system embodies a "Dynamic Offset" feature which
automatically adjusts the Tip Offset value as you change your Set Tip
Temperature. Refer to "Auto Tip Temperature Compensation" for more
detailed information on this important feature. 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. Using this booklet,
you only need to enter the listed Tip Offset Constant for your tip
(stored value is for Tip Offset at 371°C or 700°F).
Always set the appropriate Tip Offset Constant for the selected
handpiece/tip combination before entering the desired Set Tip
Temperature. The maximum possible Offset is "139" for °C ("250" for
°F). The Set Tip Temperature + the Dynamically Adjusted Tip Offset
value (usually different from the entered Tip Offset Constant) cannot
exceed 489°C (912°F). If this limit is exceeded, the system will
automatically lower the maximum possible Set (and Operating) Tip
Temperature accordingly.
17. Press the Offset Key. Notice that the Tip
Offset Constant has now changed to the
default value of "000" (for °C or °F).
Whenever the channel becomes inactive
(no connected handpiece), the Tip Offset
Constant automatically reverts to the
default.
18. While in Tip Offset Mode, use the Scroll
Up ( ) and Scroll Down ( ) Keys to set
Tip Offset Constant value as desired.
Press and release the Offset Key to exit
Tip Offset Mode and enter this value into
system memory.
19. Press the Set Key and use the Scroll Up
( ) and Scroll Down ( ) Keys to enter
your desired Set Tip Temperature. Press
the Set Key again to enter Temperature
Display Mode (normal operation).
