PACE MBT 250-SDTP Rework System Procedure

This SOP outlines the safe and efficient operation of the PACE MBT 250-SDTP Rework System for soldering, desoldering, and reworking electronic components.

    Ensure proper ventilation or use a fume extractor to avoid exposure to soldering fumes. Always wear PPE while operating the system: - Safety Glasses: Protect against solder splashes. - Heat-Resistant Gloves: Prevent burns from hot tools. - Fume Extraction: Use in a ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes. - Protective Clothing: Cover exposed skin to prevent burns. Heaters and tips become very hot during operation. Avoid direct contact with these parts. Place handpieces in their respective tool stands when not in use to prevent accidental burns. Inspect power cables and air hoses for damage before operation.

    In case of overheating, component damage, or unexpected system behavior: Immediately power off the system. Allow the system to cool down before handling any components. Report the issue to the supervisor or maintenance team for inspection and repair.

    Operating Procedure

    Press the TIP SET key to adjust the tip temperature for the active channel. Use the scroll keys to increase or decrease the temperature. Set appropriate temperatures for each handpiece: - PS-90: 250°C to 350°C - SX-80: 300°C to 380°C - TT-65 (if applicable): 300°C to 400°C

    For soldering, apply the PS-90 soldering iron tip to the component and feed the solder wire as needed. For desoldering, use the SX-80 handpiece, positioning it over the joint and activating the vacuum to remove molten solder. For component removal, use the TT-65 ThermoTweez handpiece (if applicable) to heat both sides of surface-mount devices and lift them off the board.

    Calibration and System Settings

    Regularly recalibrate the system to ensure accurate tip temperatures using the provided calibration assemblies (#1 and #2). Follow the system’s calibration procedure to maintain peak performance.

    After recalibration, adjust the Tip Temperature Offset values to ensure the true operating temperature is displayed during use.

    Enable the automatic temperature setback feature to reduce energy consumption and extend tip life. This feature can be set to reduce the tip temperature after a specified period of inactivity, with automatic power-down following if not in use.
