SMD components with flux. The Reflow-Kit CONTROLLER regulates your oven in such a way that the times and temperatures are adhered to and an optimal soldering result can be achieved.
Instruction Manual Reflow-Controller 4. Overview The Reflow CONTROLLER has a plug housing and connection to the oven. It has 3 command buttons, 6 LED's to display status and errors, and a buzzer. 5. Technical Data Operating voltage: 230V~/50Hz Max. connected load:...
Reflow-Controller 7. Operation 7.1. Soldering procedure • Switch your Reflow oven on to the highest performance level. • Switch on the upper and lower heating elements and place the grill onto the middle rail. • Place the temperature regulator of the oven on highest setting.
Once all LEDs are switched off the learning mode is finished and the door can again be opened. Now the CONTROLLER calculates and stores the characteristics of the oven. It is now ready for the Reflow soldering process. Page 7 of 14...
The audio alarm will sound for 1 second. 7.4. Temperature calibration The temperature sensor of the Reflow CONTROLLER is preset and does not have not to be calibrated normally. However, if necessary the Reflow CONTROLLER can be adjusted to the sensor.
Instruction Manual Reflow-Controller 7.5. Computer interface The Reflow CONTROLLER is equipped with a RS232 interface for connection to a PC (optional). The CONTROLLER is connected with a standard commercial cable for serial interfaces with the PC. 7.6. Settings Adjust the serial interface of the attached computer to the following parameters:...
