6. Setup
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
Note: never unplug any connection during operation.
•The equipment must be sited on a firm surface at least 1.2M x 0.75M and at a height to suit the operator.
The location should be chosen to suit the flow of work.
•Plug the solder light plug into the socket on the front of the main station.
•Plug the solder light fan into the cooling fan socket [18] and place the solder light in the holder.
•Plug the footswitch into the foot switch socket [17].
•The quartz heaters are secured against shocks with a metal bar and plastic tubes. Remove these and mount
the metal grid in place (refer to Appendix 1).
•Mount the PCB holder (refer to Appendix 2).
•Plug the power cord into the AC power inlet [21].
7. Operation
•The principle of operation of IR rework system is that whilst being heated from above and below, a single
SMD is subjected to similar temperature/time profile during rework as it experiences during reflow in the
original production process.
Note: wait about 5 minutes for the system to warm up after changing a setting.
IR hand tool operation:
•Set the “SOLDERLIGH/TIMER” switch [1] to the SOLDERLIGHT position (I).
•Set the IR Lamp temperature using the “▼” [3] and “▲” [4] keys. Press and hold ±2s to increase
setting speed. Read the temperature on the display [5].
Note: the temperature depends on the type of work (normally about 240°C)
Standard operation
•Press on the footswitch to start the IR heating; release to stop IR heating.
Timer-up operation
•Set the “SOLDERLIGH/TIMER” switch [1] to the TIMER position (O).
•Set the “Time counting” switch [2] to the UP position (I).
•Press on the footswitch to start IR heating; release to stop IR heating. The timer display [9] will count
the number of seconds that the IR heating was on.
Timer-down operation
•Set the “SOLDERLIGH/TIMER” switch [1] to the TIMER position (O).
•Set the “Time counting” switch [2] to the DOWN position (O).
•Set the timer using the “▼” [3] and “▲” [4] keys. Press and hold ±2s to increase setting speed. Read
the time (in seconds) on the display [9].
•Press on the footswitch to start IR heating; release to stop IR heating. The timer display will count
down the number of seconds that the IR heating was on. When 000 is reached, a warning signal
sounds.
Notes:
•Press the reset switch [8] to return the display to 000.
•To determine the reflow time of a new component, first use the timer up operation until it reflows, than
use the timer value for timer-down operation.
Pre-heater operation:
•Set the pre-heater temperature using the “▼” [12] and “▲” [11] keys. Press and hold ±2s to increase
setting speed. Read the temperature on the display [16].
Note: the temperature depends on the type of work (normally about 220°C)
Actual temperature compensation value
•Press on the MODEL button [13] until the display shows “---” (±4s). The temperature compensation is
shown for ±2s.
•To change the value, press the MODEL button [13] again. The value on the display starts to flash and
can be set using the “▼” [12] and “▲” [11] keys.
Note: when the display shows “00” or “-00” the compensation is “+10”.
E.g. When the temperature is set at 200°C and the measured temperature is only 190°C, then the
value must be set to “00” or “-00”. If the measured value is 180°C, than the compensation value must
be set to “+10” (-20 + 10 = 10).
General operation:
CAUTION: to avoid burns, do not touch the heater or PCB directly, use clips or tweezers to pick up or align
components.
CAUTION: do not allow water/liquids/solvents to touch the heater surface to avoid temperature drop cracks
while the unit is still hot. Such cracks can lead to electrical shorts or failure of the heater.
CAUTION: Do not touch the PCB holder to avoid burning your skin during preheat!

•How long do I preheat the PCB?
Always preheat the PCB (up to 120°C or between 45 – 90 seconds) to allow the heat to conduct through
to the component before introducing the top heat. With the 700W pre-heater the top of a small PCB will
reach 120°C in approximately 45 – 90 seconds. Larger PCBs will take longer to pre-heat. To check the
PCB/component temperature, use the hand-held IR temperature sensor to ‘look’ down at the
PCB/component from about 60mm away and at about 45° angle.
•How long does it take to reach reflow temperature?
After preheating the PCB up to 120°C, it should normally take about 30 – 45 seconds of heating with the
IR hand tool to reach reflow temperature (200-220°C). It is not so easy to measure temperature during
the reflow phase so therefore we use the electronic process timer to warn us when the reflow phase time
is over.

notwithstanding, problems should occur, please make appeal
to our warranty (see guarantee conditions).
General Warranty Conditions Concerning Consumer
Products (for EU):
• All consumer products are subject to a 24-month warranty
on production flaws and defective material as from the
original date of purchase.
• Velleman® can decide to replace an article with an
equivalent article, or to refund the retail value totally or
partially when the complaint is valid and a free repair or
replacement of the article is impossible, or if the expenses
are out of proportion.
You will be delivered a replacing article or a refund at the
value of 100% of the purchase price in case of a flaw
occurred in the first year after the date of purchase and
delivery, or a replacing article at 50% of the purchase price
or a refund at the value of 50% of the retail value in case of
a flaw occurred in the second year after the date of purchase
and delivery.
• Not covered by warranty:
- all direct or indirect damage caused after delivery to the
article (e.g. by oxidation, shocks, falls, dust, dirt,
humidity...), and by the article, as well as its contents (e.g.
data loss), compensation for loss of profits;
- frequently replaced consumable goods, parts or accessories
such as batteries, lamps, rubber parts, drive belts...
(unlimited list);
- flaws resulting from fire, water damage, lightning, accident,
natural disaster, etc. …;
- flaws caused deliberately, negligently or resulting from
improper handling, negligent maintenance, abusive use or
use contrary to the manufacturer’s instructions;
- damage caused by a commercial, professional or collective
use of the article (the warranty validity will be reduced to six
(6) months when the article is used professionally);
- damage resulting from an inappropriate packing and
shipping of the article;
- all damage caused by modification, repair or alteration
performed by a third party without written permission by
Velleman®.
• Articles to be repaired must be delivered to your
Velleman® dealer, solidly packed (preferably in the original
packaging), and be completed with the original receipt of
purchase and a clear flaw description.
• Hint: In order to save on cost and time, please reread the
manual and check if the flaw is caused by obvious causes
prior to presenting the article for repair. Note that returning
a non-defective article can also involve handling costs.
• Repairs occurring after warranty expiration are subject to
shipping costs.
• The above conditions are without prejudice to all
commercial warranties.
The above enumeration is subject to modification
