Warning: The board is still hot.
ADVICE
The automatic soldering process can only begin once the CONTROLLER has
learned the oven characteristics.
Fasten the temperature sensor to a piece of unused board with a wire and put this

directly beside the board being soldered.

Learning Mode

Before the oven can be used for soldering, the CONTROLLER must firstly learn
the heating and temperature settings of the closed oven.
The LED will blink to indicate the Learning Mode is underway. This process must
be allowed to finish or the CONTROLLER will not allow the soldering phase to be
selected.
For a successful learning mode you should place a board in the oven and the
temperature sensor under or on the board so that it is touching it. Thereby
ensuring that the temperature sensor measures the board temperature - and not
the air temperature.
Now close the oven and press the learning button. The learning mode LED shines
or flashes during the entire learning mode. The oven is then heated up to 100 °C.
The on/off LED lights up. Once 100 °C is reached, the heating is switched off. The
CONTROLLER now measures how far the oven continues to warm up despite
being switched off. 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.
