Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PACE model ST 85 Digital Desoldering/Soldering System.
This manual will provide you with the information necessary to properly set up, operate
and maintain the ST 85 system.
TheST85systemsareavailableineither the 115 VAC, or 230 VAC version which
incorporates a highly responsive SensaTemp (closed loop) control system providing up
to 80 Watts of total power to a single output channel. The 230 VAC version system
bears the CE Conformity Marking which assures the user that it conforms to all the
requirementsof council directive EMC 89/336/EEC. The systems package the power
source with a selection of accessories and functional aids.
The 115 VAC version system conforms to all the requirements of FCC Emission Control
Standard, Title 47, Subpart B, Class A. This system has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
