PACE Sodr-X-Tractor Handpiece

These instructions detail the basic operational guidelines for using the SX-80 & SX-90 Sodr-X-Tractor handpieces.

Introduction

The SX-90 Sodr-X-Tractor handpi ece provides thermally enhanced through-hole de soldering on extra heavy multilayer assemblies, at safer, lower temperatures, even during continuous use. This Sodr-X-Tractor handpiece features a lar ge easy to replace solder trap, slim-line, pencil grip design and finger actuated vacuum switch facilitates ease of use and manipulation in tight places. The SX-90 is a member of the PACE SensaTemp family of advanced handpieces.

CAUTION Always return heated handpieces to the appropriate Tip & Tool Stand when not in use. Failure to do so may cause burns to the operator, equipment or work surfaces and may be a potential ignition source if combustible materials are nearby. Always use this handpiece in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of fumes created by solder flux.

NOTE Always use your Sodr-X-Tractor with a clean VisiFilter element. Otherwise deterioration in performance or damage to the unit may occur. Select and enter your desired true operating temperature on your PACE power source. To save tip life and reduce the possibility of damage, PACE recommends using the lowest possible tip temperature that will provide rapid yet controllable melt of the entire solder joint to be extracted. Begin with an operating temperature in the range of 316°C (600°F) and adjust as necessary.

Handpiece Setup

Connect the handpiece connector plug into one of the Power Receptacles on your PACE power source in the following manner.

1. Align guide on connector with slot on power receptacle.

2. Insert connector into power receptacle.

3. Turn the connector housing clockwise to lock in p lace.

Vacuum Hose Connection

To set up your SX-90 vacuum hose connection, perform the following steps:

1. Vacuum Hose To Handpiece Connection a) Attach one end of a 137cm (54 inch) length of air hose to the metal tube in the back of the handpiece.

b) If you have a PACE system incorporating only one handpiece, attach the air hose to the SX-handpie ce

power cable using the supplied Hose Clamps. Space them evenly alon g the length of the power cable starting at a point 6 inches from the ends of the handpiece.

c) If you have a PACE system incorporating 2 or more air handpieces (e.g., SX-90,TP-100, TJ-70, TP-65),

you may wish to leave the air hose assembly unattached to allow a quick change to any air handpiece being used.

NOTE

Insure that only one air handpiece is connected to either the Vacuum Port or

Controllable PRESSURE Port at one time. Attachment to both ports

simultaneousl

2. Prepare a VisiFilter in the following manner: a) Connect a 1-inch (2.5cm) length of clear P VC a ir ho se t o t he

FLOW OUT side of the VisiFilter; push and turn the hose onto the VisiFilter nipple to seat.

b) Insert the ribbed end of a male quick connect hose mount

fitting (P/N 1259-0087) into the free end of the 1 inch (2.5cm) length of air hose connected to the FLOW OUT side of the VisiFilter.

c) Connect the free end of the 137cm (54 inch) len gth of ai r

hose to the FLOW IN side of the VisiFilter.

d) Insert the end of the quick connect hose mou nt fit ti ng ( on

VisiFilter FLOW OUT side) into the power source Vacuum Port.

will cause a deterioration of performance.
