1. Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing this high quality Rework System. With the HR 100A
Ersa offers a microprocessor controlled cutting edge handheld rework system for standard and
lead-free rework applications. It is intended for use in industrial manufacturing, repairs and
laboratory applications.
The combination of radiant and convection heat with contactless transfer to the components,
is characteristic for the hybrid technology. Due to its optimal heat transfer this technology is
most suitable for all SMT-Rework processes.
Three modes of operation enable optimal adaptation to the required purpose of use:
• Time base
• Time base with temperature measurement
• Programmable temperature control (control either through base station or with IRSoft via
PC.
An integrated laser pointer facilitates exact positioning of the heat source. With the
straightforward menu guidance settings can be comfortably edited and saved.
A rotary encoder with momentary contact function serves the purpose of programming and
operation.
The extensive range of accessories enables you to set up a flexible and modern Rework-System
for highest quality demands.

the first time. It will help you to learn the functions of the device and to use it in the most
optimal way. Keep this instruction manual at a place that can be accessed by all users at any
time!
3.1 Explanations on pictograms and symbols
In this instruction manual pictograms are used to highlight dangers.
Special information or mandatory instructions and prohibitions with the aim
of preventing personal injury or extensive damage to property are identified
by a pictogram, followed by hierarchically structured text with words written
in bold:
Warning! Is used for warnings of immediate danger. Consequences may be
death or personal injuries.
Attention! Is used for warnings of possibly dangerous situations.
Consequences may be personal injury, damage to property or environment.
Caution! Used for application related recommendations. Negligence may
result in material damage.

3. Concerning your safety
In addition to the hierarchically structured warning notes described above, we
use the following symbols:
Used to highlight any texts containing explanations, information or hints.
■ This symbol identifies
- action that is strictly required, or
- instructions that must be strictly complied with.
3.2 Intended use
Thermal tools from Ersa must only be used for the processing of soft solder. However, if
explicitly described in the operating instructions of the respective thermal tool, some thermal
tools may, in exceptional cases, be used for the processing of plastic materials.
In case of unintended use and tampering with the device, any warranty and liability claims of
the buyer against the manufacturer will become null and void.
3.3 Target group of readers
This instruction manual addresses persons with knowledge in the field of reflow soldering.

3. Concerning your safety
3.4 Safety notes
Attention! Check all components before each use. Have damaged parts
only repaired by a specialist or the manufacturer. Unprofessional repairs
cause a risk of accident. Always use original Ersa spare parts for possible
repairs.
Attention! Thermal tools get very hot. Before heating up the device check
whether the tool insert (e.g. soldering tip, modelling insert, etc.) is correctly
connected with the thermal tool. The hot tool insert should never come in
contact with skin, hair or any heat-sensitive and combustible materials. Make
sure you use a sufficiently heat proof work base.
Attention! Keep unauthorized persons at a safe distance. Make sure that
unauthorized persons, especially children, have no access to the thermal
tools.
Attention! Fire hazard. Before heating up the thermal tool remove any
combustible objects, fluids and gases from the working range of the thermal
tool. Always place the thermal tool into the storage stand provided for this
purpose. Disconnect the thermal tool from the mains supply after use. Do
not leave your hot thermal tool unattended. Please remember that it will take
quite same time for the tool insert to cool down to a harmless temperature,
after the device has been switched off.
