3. After the thermocouples are attached, ensure the mating surfaces of the
thermal barrier – mounted securely on the pallet, if used – are clean and
undamaged. A good seal between the barrier and the thermocouple cables is
essential if the logger is to be protected. Put the logger in place in the
barrier, laying the thermocouple cables across the sealing material to exit the
barrier at the cutout.
4. Press and hold the logger's start button for about 1 s until the green LED
starts to flash. Insight automatically sets the sample interval at 0.05 s for all
wave-solder profiles to ensure accurate line-speed and contact-time
measurements.
5. Close the barrier lid, ensuring a good seal around the thermocouple cables.
6. Place the pallet/logger/barrier/PCB assembly (depending on configuration)
on the oven's conveyor. With a pallet, ensure correct direction of travel, as
marked on the pallet.
Never carry the pallet assembly by holding the attached thermocouples. This can
lead to injury by dropping the equipment onto your body, and may damage the
