1. Safety and maintenance Instructions
•Do not scratch or hit front edge of the side viewing prisms onto hard
objects! This precaution is important especially when you operate
Flexia BGA mobile ion free hand.
•Only use DC Power Sources provided or approved by Optilia.
•Only use accessories provided or approved by Optilia.
•Keep the equipment clean. Use Lens Cleaning Tissue and Pure
Ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning optical surfaces of the device.
•Never use Acetone or other similar solvents for cleaning.
•Never knock or drop the video microscope.
•Keep video microscope away from direct sun-light, heat and extreme
humidity.
•Store the equipment inside case when not used.
•Protect the BGA lens, Objective lens and Zoom lens by the supplied
protection Rubber Caps or store them inside their boxes when the
equipment is not used.
This equipment is a precision optical device and
shall be handled with great care!
Be careful not to scratch or hit front edge of the side
viewing micro prisms onto hard objects!

2. About “Flexia BGA”
Flexia BGA is a mobile Video Microscope designed for visual inspection,
digital image recording and software measurements of solder joints of
BGA, mBGA, CSP, Flip-Chip packages. Flexia BGA can also be used for
visual control of pads, solders, components etc on PCBs in the production
plants as well as in the laboratories and for R&D.
Flexia BGA analogue is directly plugged to a video monitor or TV. Flexia
BGA digital is plugged to PC or laptop via USB2.0. In addition, Flexia
analogue can also be connected to a Laptop or PC via Optilia’s High
speed USB2.0 or FireWire Frame Grabbers.
For installation of Flexia digital or Frame Grabber drivers to your computer
please refer to instructions manual of the specific devise.

3. Mounting Flexia BGA
Remove the lens-protecting caps and attach the BGA lens onto the Flexia
as illustrated.
Assemble Brush Light-and Focusing Stands as illustrated. Mount Flexia
BGA to the stand as illustrated below. BGA lens must be aligned to the
stand base at right angles precisely. Connect the dissipative mat to GND
for ESD-protection. Connect Flexia to Power and monitor (if analogue
sensor) or to USB2.0 port of your PC (if digital sensor). Install Flexia
Digital drivers first,before connecting the device to PC.
2.
Gently push the BGA lens
inwards to click. (Snap position).
1.
Remove the protecting caps
from Flexia and BGA lens first.
3.
Connect to Earth for
secure ESD-protection

4. How to attach Background Illumination
(Optional, only if you have purchased the Background illumination)
Insert BGA lens carefully into the ring of the Illumination device. Align
front side of the illumination to the white mark on front side of the BGA
lens and fix it by tightening the screw.
Plug the DC connector into AUX output of Flexia Cable for power.
Loosen the illumination position screw to move illuminator
forward/backward. Pull down optical head gently until contact with the
PCB surface. Light intensity is controlled by dimmer knob.

5.How to calibrate magnifications of BGA lens in OptiPix
(Optional, only if you have purchased “OptiPix Full” software)
Zoom ring of BGA lens is marked by Greek numbers I, II, III and IV. These
positions indicate different optical magnification of the lens and can be
calibrated in OptiPix software to perform dimensional measurements.
a. Define 4 magnifications in OptiPix. (refer to instructions manual of
OptiPix for how to define magnifications).
b. Put the provided Calibration Micrometer Scale on top of the BGA
component (top of the die). Fix position of the Zoom ring to the first
magnification and move the calibration scale forward/backward and/or
sideways until you achieve a sharp picture of the printed scales on the
glass substrate. If available, use of XY-table is preferred.
c. Calibrate this magnification and do same procedure for other
magnifications.
Note: Accuracy of the calibration (and dimensional measurements) is
higher at high optical magnifications. Performing dimensional
measurements is not recommended at low optical magnifications due to
large depth of focus and image distortion of BGA lenses at low
magnification.

6. How to inspect BGA solders
Turn on Flexia. Put the PCB on the stand base. Adjust height of the Rack
& Pinion roughly. Use the Rack & Pinion unit to slide down Flexia to a few
millimeters above the BGA package. “Fine adjust” position of BGA
package against optical head of Flexia BGA and move down Flexia BGA
slightly and carefully to contact with the PCB surface. Do not press BGA
lens to the PCB.
Tilt the Brush-Light approximately 45º and position tip of the optical fibers
to edge of the BGA component by adjusting the Brush Light Stand. Turn
on the Brush Light to insert background illumination underneath BGA
component. Adjust intensity of the background Illumination by turning the
Brush-Light knob.
Note: Brush-Light is powered by battery or by Flexia. Switch battery tube with
DC-adapter (optional) and connect it to AUX output of Flexia cable to power the
illumination via Flexia Cable.Power supply must be connected to Flexia Cable!
1.
Move down
Flexia BGA gently
to get in touch with
the PCB surface
next to the BGA
package.
2.
Tilt the Brush

component.
4.
Turn on the light and
adjust illumination intensity.

7.Zoom, Focus and image tilt adjustment
Image magnification as well as object distance of the BGA lens can be
adjusted by turning “focus ring” of the lens. Horizontal plane of the image
(Image tilt) can also be adjusted by rotating optical head of the BGA lens
about its axis a few degrees.
Turn the “zoom ring” in order to focus deeper underneath the BGA
component.
8.Changing Optical Head of the BGA lens
Optical Head of BGA lens can be replaced in case of damage or aging.
Note: Micro prisms on the tip of the Optical head are protected by
mechanical housing. These can still be damaged if pressed against hard
edges.
1.
Move down
Flexia to contact
with PCB surface. BGA lens must
be at 90oto the PCB.
2.
Rotate “Zoom Ring” to alter
object distance and focus!
3.
Rotate optical head to adjust
horizontal plane of picture if
necessary.
1.
Unscrew the ring and pull out the
Optical Head
