1. Introduction
We are grateful for your decision to buy our Air Cooler FC-500.
It is fabricated by us especially for You in accordance with the
highest quality standards and tested by our experts on
compliance with EU directives presented in the Section
"Documents taken into account in production and
documentation" before shipping the equipment to you.
Despite the fact that the equipment is simple enough to use, we
strongly recommend that you read the instructions before
starting work, paying close attention to the Safety Instructions.
Air Cooler FC-500 was developed to secure PCB cooling speed
and can work as a separate aggregate. At the same time Air
Cooler FC-500 can be easily integrated into an Reworking
Soldering Center IR-650 Pro. To do this, simply connect the
device to the USB port of the computer and the "TERMOPRO -
Center" Program will automatically recognize it and will adjust a
desired rate of cooling in accordance with a predetermined
thermal profile. Cooler FC-500 is recommended to complete a
soldering set based on Pre-heating systems of NP Series, but
Cooler FC-500 is also often used for cooling circuit boards with
any other Pre-heaters.

2. Safety measures working with the Machine
WARNING: Read all instructions and safety
recommendations. Failure to follow warnings and instructions
may lead to electric shock, burns, fire and / or serious injury.

5
Keep these instructions with recommendations for future
use.
Air Cooler FC-500 was designed only for cooling of
electronic modules (PCB’s) in a process of installation and
removal of electronic components. Another use of Cooler as
a separate aggregate or as an integrated part of
Reworking Center will be considered by the manufacturer
as executed by the user at his (User) personal responsibility
and risk.
2.1. Precautions and safely when using the equipment.
Never insert any foreign objects and/or fingers
between fan blades. It can cause serious injury and damage the
equipment.
In case of operation fault, do not open the device
housing case yourself (this can cause even more damage), and
contact a experiences service.
General safety work on electrical installations and heating
devices shall be carried out working with the Cooler. The room in
which the product operates must be equipped with fire
extinguishing agents and exhaust ventilation.
All inter-unit connections have to be made before
connecting the device to the power supply line. All connectors

6
must be secured with cap nuts (where applicable). Before
switching on, make sure that grounding outlet or a separate
ground terminals are in order.
A fuse replace should be carried out only when the
device is switched off (the power cord must be disconnected
from Power line socket).
NEVER!
• connect the unit to Power supply line without the ground ; in
the absence of a reliable grounding the proper functioning of
the installation can not be guaranteed;
• leave turned on unit unattended;
• turn on a Cooler near flammable materials and flammable
liquids;
•spray flamable liquids near working equipment;
• carry out maintenance without shutting down the product
the unit and disconnecting it of power supply line.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or experience in
device operation (gained from repeated use) dominate strict
adherence to safety rules for handling this device. Improper use of
tools or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this Manual may
cause serious personal injury.

4. Start Up
4.1. First Switch On
First of all, please read the present Manual for Safe Use. Then,
the procedure is as follows:
Unpack unit;
Place it on a flat and hard surface of the desktop;
Place the unit in a way to ensure maximum ease of movement
for operator and avoid appearance of foreign subjects against
fan blades;
Fix a ground wire with a control nut on a unit housing case
panel. Other end of the ground wire connects to ground
terminal.
For a work of FC-500 under PC control drivers are to be
installed to computer prior the work (driver can be downloaded
from our web-site or installed from media supplied with
Reworking Center), after that connect unit to PC using supplied
USD interface cable.
Connect Power adapter to a terminal at unit FC-500 housing
first and then to a power line 220V. Red indicator near “power
on” bottom will start blinking.
If it is necessary you can adjust Cooling unit height position. For
this matter unscrew screws on housing and install these into
other fixing holes on supporter. Air flow angle can be also
adjusted against PCB in a work.

The unit is ready for an operation.
5. Equipment operation
5.1 Operation and Process control
Press the Power on/off button. The red light will be lit on
constantly, and built-in fans will gain the necessary rotation
speed.
Direct the air flow from device louvers on the circuit board.
Adjust the desired air flow speed of the cooling by pressing [+], [-
]. The speed may have 16 fixed pre-sets of airflow rates which
are changed discretely.
The flow rate can be evaluated on a scale of four LEDs positioned
next to the control buttons.
Never insert foreign objects or fingers against the fan blades, this
can lead to injury or damage to the product.
Working with FC-500 under PC control please study “Termopro-
Center” Program Manual in Sections referring FC-500 unit
control.
5.2 Process of working completion
