1.0 Introduction
The FR-1012 is a bench-top board heater designed to elevate the temperature of printed circuit
board assemblies so the components on them can be soldered or de-soldered easily. This is
particularly useful on medium to high-mass board assemblies, which can “heat-sink” a significant
amount of energy supplied by a soldering iron tip, or handheld hot-air tool.
CAUTION: As with all heating devices, exercise extreme care when using and
handling this unit. The circuit board, fixture, and other surfaces may get
very hot, especially during prolonged use at higher power or temperature
settings
