WARNING

Warnings, cautions and notes are placed at critical points in this manual to direct the operator’s attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:

WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION : Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or

 damage to the items involved. Two examples are given below.

● Be sure to comply with the following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS for your safety.

CAUTION

This N2 generator uses membrane technology, which generates the nitrogen gas from externally-supplied compressed air.

● Cautions for handling the product

•

Carefully handle the product, avoiding impact, such as a blow or dropping.

• Avoid rapid heating or cooling.

• Do not disassemble or modify the main body.

• Store the product indoors avoiding high temperature and humidity environments.

● Cautions for using the product

1. Follow the instructions below when using the product. The nitrogen gas can cause oxygen deprivation.

• Use in a well-ventilated area.

• Regularly check nitrogen gas discharge piping for leaks.

2. Be sure to note the following points when installing the product. Highly-concentrated nitrogen gas is discharged from the product into the surrounding area.

• Keep away from flame and flammables.

• Ventilate the work area when in use.

3. The product is intended to generate the highly-concentrated nitrogen gas from compressed air. Never use it for other than the intended application.

2. An example of setting-up

When the HAKKO FX-791 (N2 station) is used as the nitrogen gas flow rate controller, the entire apparatus can be set up as shown in the figure below.

CAUTION

When using the HAKKO FX-791, place it on the upper rack and the HAKKO soldering station on the lower rack (diagonally shaded area). The HAKKO FX-791 and HAKKO soldering station can also be placed on the right side of the HAKKO FX-780. If the soldering station is not placed on the lower rack the HAKKO FX-780 can become unstable and topple over. Always place the soldering station on the lower rack when operating.

3. Adjustment of the flow rate

The flow rate of nitrogen gas is adjusted through the flow rate control valve shown in the schematic diagram.

The determination of the concentration of nitrogen gas generated by the HAKKO FX-780 depends on the pressure of supplied compressed air and the amount of discharged nitrogen gas. See the table below for detailed information.

Concentration of N2

Amount of discharged N2 re-

mains constant.

Pressure of supplied com-

pressed air remains constant

Pressure of supplied compressed air is high.

Pressure of supplied compressed air is low.

Discharged nitrogen gas is small in amount.

Discharged nitrogen gas is large in amount.

High

Low

High

Low

Determine the pressure of supplied compressed air and the amount of discharged nitrogen gas according to the HAKKO FX-780 performance table.

CAUTION

When using the HAKKO FX-791, the pressure of the HAKKO FX-780 will increase when the valve is closed. Close the compressed air IN valve of the HAKKO FX-780 to shut down the supply of compressed air if the flow control valve remains closed for a long period of time during operating.

4. End of the operation

Close the compressed air IN valve of the HAKKO FX-780. Open the valves on the side where the gas is discharged, including the flow rate control valve.

CAUTION

When the N2 generator is not used for a prolonged period of time, stop supplying compressed air to the HAKKO FX-780 and open the valves on the side where the gas is discharged.

● Nitrogen gas is not discharged.

CHECK : Is each component properly connected?

ACTION : Verify that air is supplied to the HAKKO FX-780

per the schematic diagram.

CHECK : Is the dust or air filter dirty?

ACTION : Clean or replace the dirty filter.

CHECK : Do the regulator and valves function properly?

ACTION : Repair or replace the nonfunctioning valve(s).

CAUTOIN

If nitrogen gas is not discharged even with a properly-compressed air supplied, the supplied air may be contaminated with dust or moisture. In such a case, the internal module of the HAKKO FX-780 needs to be replaced by the manufacturer. Module replacement is also required if the amount of discharged nitrogen gas is small or completely zero due to supply of one of the aggressive gases mentioned in “Conditions of supplied compressed air” above.
