sible danger. Non-observance can cause injury or
damage of the system.
Commandment sign: that rules a special behav-
iour. Non-observance can cause heavy injuries.
Remain dangers are not obvious risks given to the use
of the measurement system. Although the measurement
system is developed state of the art and is constructed
and manufactured according to the generally accepted
safety regulations, even with intended use remain
dangers cannot be eliminated. Therefore use the
measurement system only in unobjectionable condition
and take care for all possible dangers and for the rules
for the prevention of accidents.

Only assigned and instructed persons are allowed to use
the measurement system. The state of health of these
persons must be okay so that they are in a position to operate
the system and these persons must not come under the
inuence of pharmaceuticals which reduce the reaction time.
The operator is obliged to make sure that the measurement
system is used only in a safety and operable state.
The measurement system is inapplicable for the
operation inside the temperature zone you want to
measure. Make sure that the operation tempera-
ture of the system is not higher than 50°C.
The operation staff must also take care that only
assigned persons work with the measurement
system. Every procedure which affects the safety
of the measurement system is not allowed. If a fault
appears which may cause danger for persons, for the

Functionel description
The measurement system 570.70 was especially designed
for the use at wave and reow soldering systems. The
measurement recording is taking place with a PC in an
Excel form. The measurement values are transferred from
the system to the PC. The temperatures are measured
via 3 thermocouple sensors of type K. These sensors
are connected with sockets at the rear side of the
measurement system. The duration of the measurement
recording acts in accordance with the adjustments in
the user software. All operation and indicator elements
are arranged at the front side. A LED shows the status
of the system. If it ashes green, the system is ready for
initialisation and for recording measurement data.
The demonstration of the measurement data occurs via the
measurement system software. This software can be installed
on any AT compatible personal computer which is equipped
with the operation systemsWindows 2000© or Windows XP©.
Microsoft Excel© from the software packages Ofce 2000© or
Ofce XP© is also needed. The hardware requirement is a PC
with a VGA graphics board, one free USB port 1.1 and 4,5
MB free hard disk space. The software can be installed with
the included setup le.

With the measurement system software the recorded
data can be displayed, analysed, organized and printed.
For the display of the measurement data in a graph,
the temperature and the time axis be adjusted, grid and
measurement graph symbols can be faded in and out.
The analysis functions allow to show information
about the peak temperature and peak duration of a
measurement graph according to a previous selected
melting point. A further function is the calculation of
the maximum increase rate of a temperature graph.
It is possible to save a graph together with positive
and negative tolerance values as a reference curve.
This reference curve can be compared with following
measurements to get an easy control about the process
accuracy.
A printout is possible via a printer which is connected to
the PC.
