The temperature of each TC can also be selected from the work screen.

Recommended Guidelines

1. Place the Control Thermocouple as near as possible to the component being worked on.
2. If there are any sensitive components, use a Thermocouple as protection.
You can select the protection temperature in the Thermocouples menu. If the selected temperature
is reached, the Heater Unit will stop the process and a warning message will be shown.

3. IPC* does not recommend exceeding ramp-up rates over 3 - 4 °C / sec (5 - 7 °F / sec) so as to
reduce the risk of thermal stress on the PCB.
* IPC was founded in the U.S. in 1957 as the Institute for Printed Circuits and is committed to becoming the
most recognized international industry association for the electronics manufacturing industry.
