inputs and outputs. The E
(including compatibility with most older 3000 Series Changeover Kits) and incorporates many
technological advances developed from the Series 5000 Production Handling Systems. The improved
performance, reduced size, and classic flat-back bench-top style of the Model 3000B provide the ideal
solution for medium to high volume automated test and programming applications.
Blank/untested devices are loaded in tubes at the top of the handler then indexed to a test contact
mechanism. Among the standard choices, the customer may select special SMD (Surface Mount Device)
test sites which plunge the Device Under Test (DUT) up to 1.5 inches past the back of the handler to a
load board. Programming and testing take place here, using any of several types of programmers and
testers. The devices are sorted by "Pass" and "Fail" categories after each test. After testing, failed
devices are sorted into reject tubes. Devices which pass the test stage are sorted to the output tubes for
retrieval by the operator.

The Model 3000B handler operation is constantly monitored by its STD Bus CPU. Once a device enters
the handler, it is tracked by sensors as it passes through every step until it is positively placed in the
correct output tube. If a device jam should occur, an appropriate error message will be displayed on the
handler controller's front panel microterminal. Most jams may be cleared by pressing the
[Clear]
buttons on the front panel.
[RUN]
or
www.exatron.com 1-1 Chapter 1 Introduction
Exatron 3000B
The handler may be operated in either of two modes: AUTO or MANUAL. MANUAL operation allows for
Handler Diagnostics sequences to be run, Handler Set-Up changes to be entered, and mechanical
adjustments to be made at the operator's convenience before, during, and after automatic Handler
operation.
AUTO operation continuously cycles devices through the handler. The handler will stop when empty but
re-start automatically when more devices are loaded. Each output tube may be filled to any pre-set
amount, with individual counters keeping track of quantities in all outputs. When an output tube fills, the
handler automatically begins to fill any other unfilled tube assigned to the sort signal received from the
tester. When all output tubes are filled, the handler will stop and a message will be displayed, such as,
ALL OUTPUTS FULL
an empty tube. The handler will not cycle devices to outputs which have no tubes or which are full.
Additionally, a continuous subtotal count is maintained for each output, up to a total of 999,999 devices.
Sorting is accomplished by use of a stepper motor and a solenoid released shuttle. Dual positive binning
sensors keep track of the shuttle's position at all times. In the event of a sorting problem, a message will
be displayed on the handler's front panel, and the device will not be binned until the problem is corrected.

The Model 3000B

XATRON'S
E
comes equipped with this octoloader which is a moving metal plate holding up to eight tubes of devices,
controlled by the handler's CPU by means of a stepper motor. The plate automatically moves both left
and right, positioning each tube of devices over the handler input track. When the input track is emptied,
the octoloader automatically searches for tubes with devices. The octoloader has a sensor mounted at its
junction with the input track. The octoloader can "see" a device jam and stop its own movement to
prevent breaking the jammed device. The octoloader also has an automatic "wiggle" jam-clearing
operation which it will implement immediately in an effort to remove the jam without operator assistance.
eight-tube Octoloader is an ambient automatic eight-tube loader. The standard Model 3000B
Model 3000B octoloaders use a Snap-On plate which is specifically fitted with tube holders for a given
device application.
All Model 3000B Handlers not intended to be used on a "FRED," (Free Rolling E
XATRON
Dolly) are
supplied with bench-top base plates which must be bolted directly to a bench or table top to secure the
handler. Each plate includes two sets of tilt bars which enable the handler's tilt angle to be altered for
specific applications. The tilt angle is critical for ceramic DIPs and LCCs since too much drop angle may
cause chipping of the packages.

The Model 3010B
with One Elevated Temperature Track
The Model 3010B Hot Rail adds a single track hot rail to the input of the handler. This track holds twenty
inches of devices in order to preheat them prior to test. The temperature range of the Hot Rail is ambient
to +125° C. AC heaters are located within the Hot Rail. Exceptional temperature control is maintained by
constantly monitoring four points in the Rail and four points in the Test Site. The guaranteed accuracy is

The Model 2000B
with Two-Tube Manual Input
The Model 2000B is an ambient handler with a manually operated two-input tube holder assembly for low
to mid-volume handling applications. The tube holder must be manually shifted when one tube of devices
empties in order to present another tube of devices to the input track. The Model 2000B uses Snap On
Change Over Kits to accommodate various size packages. The tube holders are custom-machined to a
specific tube size and are included as standard equipment with Model 2000B Snap On Change Over Kits.
All Model 2000B Handlers are supplied with bench-top base plates which must be bolted directly to a
bench or table top to secure the handler. Although smaller and less expensive than our Model 3000B, the

Chapter 2 Installation
Basic installation of your new Exatron handler will consist of the following three major steps:
I. Unpacking the handling equipment and assembling its peripheral parts.
II. Powering up the handler and running Diagnostics sequences.
III. Cycling sample tubes of devices.
These multi-part steps are described in detail below. After these steps are completed you will be ready to
interface the handler to your tester/prom programmer as described in chapter 3, interface information.
Please read and understand this entire User's Manual before installing or using your Exatron
handler. The following safety procedures must be followed at all times.
Exatron Safety Features
____________________________________________________________________________
Electrical Hazards
High Voltage Testing Applications:
every handler we make prior to shipment. In some cases, the handler will be used to test devices at high
voltages. If your handler will be used to test devices with voltages in excess of 80 VDC or 80 VAC, the
handler will need to be equipped with safety covers.
If Exatron is notified of high voltage requirements as described above on the written purchase order at the
time of order placement, we will equip your handler with safety covers having electrical interlock switches.
These switches are intended to be utilized by the operator by connecting them to the customer-supplied
tester. When the interlock switch is open, the tester will be shut down with no possibility of high voltage at
the handler's contacts. All safety hardware should be verified for proper operation by the customer's own
in-house safety officer.
If you intend to use this handler for high voltage testing, notify Exatron immediately and place an order for

Compressed Air
Your Exatron handler may require a compressed air supply. If your specific changeover kit requires
compressed air, connect the handler to an 80 PSI (+/- 3PSI) air source. Please refer to the "Air
Requirements" section of the Model 3000B General Operating Specifications for further details.

handler operators in every aspect of the safety practices associated with the use of compressed air.
NEVER operate any Exatron equipment which requires compressed air without an approved air
