FC641 Large Filter Cartridge Assembly
Replaces FC640. For use in applications
that require heavy use, or where No-Clean
solder/ux is used at high temperature.
PA233 Dovetail Extension Bracket allows
you to install additional Tool Pods.
1. Insert nut into the slot of adapter plate on both sides.
2. Screw PA233 on the adapter plate.

OPERATION
1. Connect HT500 to 24V power supply and vacuum source.
2. Press trigger to activate vacuum.
NOTE: When Tip orice is bloc ked,
use a corr ect size C le ani ng S ha ft
while pressing the Trigger to clear the
obstruction.
3. Always clean the Tip with wet sponge and
always re-tin (add fresh solder) during and after each
operation.
CS468 is .05 in. dia.
CS468-1 is .025 in. dia.
ADJUSTMENTS
The HT500 Head assembly can be adjusted into varying positions to suit the operator.
While Tool is in the Pod, push handle
down and twist handle until it locks
into 1 of it's 4 positions. Twisting
counter-clockwise will permit a 1800
turn. Twisting clockwise will permit
a 900 turn.
Note: Head Assembly does not make a full 3600 turn
To tilt the Head assembly, loosen (2)

DESOLDERING POINTERS
1. When desoldering small
holes on at areas, tilt
Tool to allow adequate
air ow to lift solder into
chamber.
2. When using SMD Tips, heat
up the connections by posi-
tioning the Tool perpendicu-
larly. When solder melts tilt
the Tool and depress trigger.
(SMD Tips are recomended
fo r HT 500 u sing ext e rna l
vacuum).
3. Extra-heavy duty desoldering on a multi-layeredboard
is done by using a Heavy Duty Desoldering Tip and
a Hi-Heat Soldering Tip simultaneously. Although
pre-heating of the circuit board will speed up the
process, it is not always necessary.

dering Tip

REPLACING DESOLDERING TIPS
1. Remove RS383. Use WT619.
2. Replace Tip and install new Tip.
3. Apply AN112 (in tube) or AN122 (in syringe) Anti-Seize
Compound before assembling.
