1.4 - HAZARDS
Installation Guide myReflow CHAPTER 1 3
1.4 HAZARDS
1.4.1 FLUX VAPOURS
The solderpaste used on the printed circuit boards mainly consists of tin, lead and flux.
Repeatedly inhaling this vapours can cause health problems in the long term.
When the board is heated, a noxious vapour will be liberated. This vapour must be extracted.
To avoid inhalation of this vapours, wear mouth protection when working on the machine.
• When large amounts of this vapours are inhaling or ingested, contact a physician immedi-
ately. Always follow the first aid procedures described in the Material Safety Data Sheet
from the flux.
• When small amounts are inhaled, seek fresh air.
• Be sure that the exhaust system works properly.
• Never eat, drink or smoke while working on the machine.
• Wash hands after handling flux.
1.4.2 HOT SURFACES
There is always a risk of being burned when you work around the machine. Hot surfaces can
cause burns.
• Always wear heat resistant gloves and protective clothing when working on the machine.
• Never handle the finished boards without wearing protective gloves.
• If possible allow the machine time to cool down before you start servicing.
• When burned, immerse in cold water immediately. When the burn is severe consult a physi-
cian as soon as possible.
• Most of the components in the soldering system don’t look hot. Always assume that all parts
are hot.

SAFETY FEATURES
4CHAPTER 1
1.4.3 HIGH VOLTAGES
The 3 x 400 Volt supply present an electrical hazard.
High voltages are present on various parts of the system.
Hazard warning labels are places on the outside and inside of the enclosures.
• To avoid exposure to high voltages, ensure that the protective panels remain closed during
operation.
• Only qualified electricians should work on the electrical circuits of the machine.
• Before working on an electrical circuit, turn main power off and block the mainswitch with a
padlock.
• Ensure that the system is properly grounded.
1.4.4 MECHANICAL HAZARD
All moving parts of the soldering system, including pulleys, belts, chains, coolingfans, sprocket-
wheels and cylinders present a potential danger.
Be careful with covers and doors. Always pay attention to opening and closing.
• Take care not to get your hands or fingers in any moving mechanisms.
• Be mindful of long hair, neckties, bracelets and other parts that can get caught in a moving
mechanism.
• Always stop all moving parts when performing service on the machine.
ALWAYS PLACE AND CLOSE COVERS / WINDOWS BACK BEFORE
OPERATING.
1.4.5 EYE HAZARD
When working on the machine, always protect your eyes with safety glasses.

1.4 - HAZARDS
Installation Guide myReflow CHAPTER 1 5
1.4.6 NITROGEN
• Follow the safety precautions and procedures described in the Material Safety Data
Sheet from the nitrogen supplier.
1.4.7 FIRE HAZARD
The solderpaste used on the printed circuit board contains, when heated, an noxious vapour that
is inflammable.
No smoking or open fire near the machine.
• The exhaust system to extract vapours should work fullproof.
• Be sure an fire-extinguisher is in the surroundings of the machine.
1.4.8 EXHAUST SYSTEM
Standard for testing purposes at Vitronics Soltec a bridge is made for “exhaust on”.
This bridge must be removed at Vitronics Soltec. Check if bridge is removed.
A Normally Open contact should be connected on this terminal connectors. When the exhaust
is switched on, the signal must be active after a short time (delay). This signal indicates that the
exhaust is working, and the machine can start up.
NEVER BRIDGE THIS INPUT. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGING THE MACHINE.
DON’T USE THE MACHINE WITHOUT EXHAUST, THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
MACHINE.
TEST EVERY 6 MONTHS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON FUNCTIONING.

SAFETY FEATURES
6CHAPTER 1
1.5 PRECAUTIONS
•Always keep the working area clean.
•No smoking or open fire in the working area.
•NO-SMOKING signs should be posted in the work area (visible for everyone).
•Always wear protective clothing & glasses when working on the machine.
•Keep equipment well maintained.
•Be sure the working area is well ventilated.
•The machine must be installed with an effective ventilating system.
•Only qualified personnel is allowed to work on the equipment.
•Always keep fire extinguishers on hand.
•Fluids and rags used for cleaning must be collected and must be processed according to the
local environment rules.
•When finished working, remove overalls and other protective clothing.
•Wash thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking.
•Never eat, drink or smoke around the machine.
•Only clean the machine when its cooled down.

1.6.2 PRECAUTIONS
1.6.2.1 EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN
The standard machine is fitted with safety emergency switches. The emergency stop has a red
button (mushroom type) and a yellow shield.
The E-stop is a low voltage (24VDC) powered loop, that provides automatic shut-down of any
powered mechanism.
Indication that the E-stop is activated is given as an alarm message on the screen of the PC.
To restore normal working condition, release the E-stop button, and reset the E-stop in the PC
program.
1.6.2.2 CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The machine is foreseen with automatic circuit breakers and fuses in case of a short-circuit or
overload the circuit will be cut off.
Never use fuses or circuitbreakers in the machine which are not according the specifications from
the electrical circuit diagrams.
1.6.2.3 MAXIMUM CURRENT RELAYS
In case of an overcurrent in the motorcircuits, a relay protects the circuit and motors by switch-
ing off. Always be sure that the current setting is according to the electrical drawings and/or
adjustment procedures.
1.6.2.4 FREQUENCY INVERTER CONTROLLED MOTORS
Motors are controlled by the frequency inverter controllers.
In case of an overcurrent the relevant motor is stopped by the controller. An alarm is generated
on the PC screen. After solving the problem the alarm can be resetted and the motor can be
started again via the PC.
For more information see Schematics & Parts.
1.6.2.5 COVERS
The machine is foreseen with safety covers. This covers can be removed with a special key.
The main covers are provided with safety switches.

2.4 CONNECTIONS
2.4.1 GENERAL
See for connection specifications the “install sheet” at the end of this chapter.
2.4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Only qualified electricians should work on the electrical circuits of the machine.
1. Connect the mains leads in accordance with the diagrams.
Check the Current rotation of the phases. The current rotation of the phases L1, L2, L3 must be
clockwise.
2. Block the mainswitch in the “OFF” position with a padlock to prevent dangerous situations.
2.4.3 NITROGEN CONNECTION
1. Connect the supply hose to the hose connector at the infeed side of the machine.
2.4.4 EXHAUST SYSTEM
One exhaust gauge of 165 mm (6.5”) is provided. This should be connected with the customer’s
exhaust system (not supplied by Vitronics Soltec).
• Inflammable and/or explosive gas might develop in the machine because of the evaporation of
the solvent in the flux.
• An exhaust system that functions well, will bring the gases below the explosion concentra-
tions.
• It is therefore necessary to have a sufficient exhaust in the machine.
• The exhaust system also has to be checked continuously on its well functioning.
• The machine is prepared to interfere in the E-stop circuit of the machine with a potential free
contact of the exhaust system. This contact has to be normally open, and therefore closed
when the exhaust functions well (fail safe).
NEVER USE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.
