Temperature Setting; Tip Cleaning; Special Applications - Pace SX-80 Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

Temperature Setting

To save tip life and reduce the possibility of damage to the PCB, PACE recommends
using the lowest possible tip temperature that will provide rapid yet controllable melt
of the entire solder joint. Begin with an operating temperature of 316°C (600°F) and
adjust as necessary. Tip temperatures in excess of 399°C (750°F) may cause damage.
For safest removal, some components on extra heavy assemblies may require
preheating or auxiliary heating.

Tip Cleaning

During heavy, continuous desoldering, on boards with flux residues or other
contamination, the tip may occasionally become clogged with such material. If
this should occur, clean the tip with the Tip Cleaning Kit (PACE part number
6993-0200) by inserting the wire tool into the tip end.
