INSTRUCTIONMANUAL
ThankyouforpurchasingAoyue720FocusedInfraredWeldingSystem.
Itisimportanttoreadthemanualbeforeusingtheequipment.
Pleasekeepmanualinaccessibleplaceforfuturereference.
This manual is designed to familiarize the technician with
the proper operation and maintenance of the equipment.
The “Care and Safety Precautions” section explains the
hazards of using any type of soldering or reworking device.
Please read carefully and observe the guidelines in order to
maximize usage and minimize the risk of injury or accidents .

1.)WhatIRsolderlightguntemperatureshouldIuse?
Between 180380°C. Only increase the IR solderlight gun tempera
ture after you have increased the preheater to the required tem
perature.AlwayspreheatthePCB(between30and90seconds)to
allowheattoconductthroughthecomponentbeforeapplyingtheIR
solderlightgun.
2.) What is the working distance of the IR solderlight gun
andhowdoImoveitforrework?
Approximately 510mm when reworking and move up to 30mm
when removing component. Use the gears attached to the device,
particularlytotheIRsolderlightlightgun,toadjustthedistance.
3.)WhatbackheatsettingshouldIuse?
Generally180°200°Csetonthepreheaterisagoodstartingpoint.
Thesystemisalreadyconfiguredtopreheatat200°C.Withthecor
rectpreheatersetting,thetopofthePCBwillreachapproximately
120140°Cinabout60120seconds.
4.)WhydoIneedtheweldinggoggles?
Thegoggleshastwoimportantfunctions:oneistoletyouviewthe
focusedinfraredlightforprecisionsoldering.Theotheristoprotect
youreyesfromharmfuleffectsbroughtbyIRexposure.

TECHNICALDESCRIPTION
SYSTEMHEATINGPROCESS
The heating process of the Focused Infrared Welding system is a
combinationoftheIRsolderlightgunandthepreheater.Thepre
heatercandeliver200°upto480°CtothePCB,pads,andleadsof
thecomponent.TheIRsolderlightgunfurtherincreasesthetem
peratureuntilreflowisreached.
INFRAREDLAMP
The200WattInfrared(IR)lampislocatedinsidethelamphousing
andclampedonametalrod,whichissecuredontopofthemain
unit.ThelampemitsshortwaveIRradiationatapproximately1.0
microninwavelength.
TOPHEAT
ThetopheatisproducedbytheIRsolderlightgun.Thisincreases
whilefocusingtheheatonthedesiredcomponentbeingreworked.
This also brings the solder joint temperature higher in order for
heattoreflow.
PREHEATER
The preheater provides and maintains distributed heat (or Back
Heat) across the PCB and components prior to actual reworking.
ThisprotectsthePCBfromdelaminatingandthecomponentsfrom
thermal shock — brought by sudden exposure to high tempera
ture. About approximately 75% of heat energy is supplied by the
preheaterandtheremaining25%bytheinfraredsolderlightgun.

OPERATINGPROCEDURES
PREPARINGTHEEQUIPMENT
1. Place the equipment on a flat stable surface of at least one
squaremeterandaheightsuitabletotheuser.
2. AttachtheprotectivelenstothefrontoftheIRsolderlightgun.
3. Connectthesolderingironandfootswitchasindicatedfromthe
productillustration.
4. Connect one end of the power cord to the socket found at the
backofthemainunit.
5. Therecommendedlightingconditionshouldnotbesobrightsuch
thattheIRspotisstillviewablebytheuser..
6. Theelectricitysupplymustbefreefrominterferenceofotherde
vices.
SMDREWORKINGPROCEDURE
1. Assoonasallthenecessarycomponents(e.g.,IRsolderlightgun,
solderingiron,footswitch,protectivelens)havebeenattachedto
themainunit,youarereadytostartthereworkingprocess.
2. Plugtheequipmenttothemainpowersource.
3. TurnONthe unitusingpowerswitch(‘A’fromthecontrolpanel)
locatedattherighthandsideofthefrontpanel.

4. WithbuttonsC1,C4,C7,andC10disabled(OFF),thedisplaypan
elswillshowthefollowing.
5. ThePCB/componenttoberepairedshouldbeplacedontopofthe
preheatingcomponent.UsethebeamstoholdthePCBandadjust
the screws to secure the placement. Make sure that the affected
component is placed at an appropriate distance, perpendicular to
the IR solderlight gun. Thiswill keep the IRlight focused only to
the component concerned. Move the temperature sensor tip near
thecomponentfortemperaturereading.
