Using the InstaCal Feature
The TW 100 features InstaCal calibration. InstaCal allows the user to calibrate using an independent,
laser trimmed, Platinum RTD sensor. The system is calibrated so the display matches the measured tip
temperature. Calibration can be completed, as often or as little as you like to meet your own internal
specifications.
The system will prompt the user to calibrate under specific conditions, for example, after a cartridge has
been changed. The system indicates whether calibration is required or not through the color of the LED
Indicator Light. When the LED Indicator is Green, the system is calibrated and ready for use, when it is
Amber, the system may need to be calibrated , and when it is Red, the system should be calibrated. The
following chart explains the function of the LED Indicator Light.

*The LED will be Amber or Green depending on the color when it entered Setback, or Auto Off.
Ensure the InstaCal Module has been installed on the front panel of the TW 100. See Figure 11. To
calibrate, the tip is tinned with solder and then placed on the InstaCal Module that contains a laser
trimmed, platinum RTD sensor. See Figure 11. If necessary, add a small quantity of solder to ensure

System Operations Manual, Rev B

good linkage between tip and sensor. The System will automatically recognize
that the InstaCal Module is in use and the LED Display will change to “CAL”.
The calibration process will last for approximately 20 to 30 seconds. When
completed, the LED Display will change to “CC” for Calibration Complete, and
the LED Indicator light will turn green. The system is now ready for use. The
temperature can be adjusted, as needed, and does not need to be recalibrated
until the tip cartridge has been replaced. Calibration can still be activated
when the LED Indicator is green, although it is unnecessary.
NOTE: Before calibration is attempted, the system should be allowed
to reach set temperature. After turning on the system or
changing tip cartridges, wait for at least 15 seconds before
calibrating.

InstaCal Adjustment
In most cases, the InstaCal calibration will closely match your in-house tip monitoring results. However,
due to the potential variations between temperature measuring devices and tip temperature measuring
methods, you may see small variations. To ensure InstaCal matches the results of your own measuring
methods, the TW 100 system allows the user to enter an offset value to match your specific results.
To determine the ICA adjustment, follow the following procedure:
1. Calibrate the TW 100 using the InstaCal Module at your set soldering temperature (e.g. 700 °F).
2. Measure the tip temperature on your in-house measuring equipment using your internal
procedures.
3. Calculate the change to the ICA offset value:
Example 1:
Existing ICA Offset = 20
Your in-house tip temperature measurement method = 710 °F
The set temperature of the TW 100 = 700 °F.
The ICA offset should be changed to 10.
Example 2:
Existing ICA Offset = 20
Your in-house measurement method = 690 °F
The set temperature of the TW 100 = 700 °F.
The ICA offset should be changed to 30.

System Operations Manual, Rev B
www.paceworldwide.com Page 16 of 21
The ICA offset also allows for improvements to be made to the InstaCal Module without losing backwards
compatibility with all existing systems. All InstaCal modules are shipped with an ICA Offset value. When
the new InstaCal module in installed, the ICA offset value of the new module should be compared to the
value already stored in the system and modified if necessary.
To access the InstaCal Adjustment (ICA) offset follow the procedure below:
1. With the power turned off, press and hold the program button ( ) and the up key (▲).
2. Turn on the power switch. The LED Display will show the software version (e.g. 1-2) then will
begin to flash between “ICA” and the entered ICA off set value.
NOTE: If a password has been entered into the system, the LED Display will first show
“EPO” and the password must be entered before access to the ICA offset is granted.
3. Using the up and down keys, adjust the ICA offset as needed.
4. Press the program key ( ) to exit the ICA menu and resume normal operation.
PACE does not recommend modifying the ICA offset to compensate for tip geometries. Please use the
Cartridge OffSet (COS) value in the set-up menu to compensate for differences in tip geometries.
