Page 4: Purpose
Purpose The purpose of this document (Original Instructions) is to describe the electrical and software design of the control system for the Hot Air Stations; Models 160-A, 185-A, and 210-A. This document also includes operator instructions. Overview Beahm Designs Hot Air Stations are compact, bench‐top systems designed to deliver precisely controlled heated air through a variety of multi‐port nozzles. -
Page 5: Safety
Safety • Use of eye protection when working with compressed gases and heated materials is advised. • The maximum observed Sound Pressure Level is below 70 dB(A). Caution: high voltage. Remove power and use safety precautions when servicing. Caution: hot surface. Contact may cause burn. Allow to cool before servicing. Caution: pinch point. -
Page 6: Set Up And Configuration
Note: This equipment is not for use in an ATEX environment. Set Up and Configuration Proper sizing of the thermal nozzle is crucial to the optimizing process and repeatability. The following guidelines are recommended methods; however, all applications vary, and several iterations of tooling process development may be required and may not follow all of the recommended guidelines. -
