The HW 200 is a dual channel power supply that is capable of powering any combination of TD-100
Thermo-Drive Soldering Irons and MT-100 MiniTweezers (both sold separately). Each channel can be
controlled separately and are active simultaneously. The system uses Power Modules to control the
performance level of the attached handpieces and a wide range of Power Modules are available. Power
Modules are clearly visible from a distance so you can tell what performance level operators are using for
quick and easy process verification. The system also comes standard with Auto-Setback and Auto-Off
functions to preserve tip life.

Applicable Regulations
The HW 200 system is available in either 115 VAC or 230 VAC versions, which incorporate a highly
responsive, closed loop control system providing up to 150 Watts of total output power. The 230 VAC
version system bears the CE Conformity Marking, which assures the user that it conforms to EMC
89/336/EEC.
The 115 VAC version systems conform to FCC Emission Control Standard, Title 47, Subpart B, Class
A. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
The following are safety precautions that personnel must understand and follow when using or
servicing this product.
1. POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD - Repair procedures on PACE products should be performed
by Qualified Service Personnel only. Line voltage parts may be exposed when the
equipment is disassembled. Service personnel must avoid contact with these parts when
troubleshooting the product.
2. To prevent personnel injury, adhere to safety guidelines in accordance with OSHA and other
applicable safety standards.
3. Heater Cartridge Tips are hot when the handpiece is powered on and for a period of time
after power off. DO NOT touch the cartridge. Severe burns may result.
4. PACE Tip & Tool Stands and handpiece cubbies are designed specifically for use with the
associated handpiece and houses it in a manner that protects the user from accidental burns.
Always store the handpiece in its holder. Be sure to place the handpiece in its holder after
use and allow for cooling before storing.
5. Always use PACE systems in a well ventilated area. A fume extraction system such as those
available from PACE are highly recommended to help protect personnel from solder flux
fumes.
6. Exercise proper precautions when using chemicals (e.g., solder paste). Refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) supplied with each chemical and adhere to all safety precautions
recommended by the manufacturer.
Set up the HW 200 system using the following steps and associated images.
1. Store the shipping container in a convenient location. Reuse of the
container will prevent damage if you store or ship your system(s).
On/Off
Switch
2. Place the Power Switch in the “OFF” or “0” position.
Mounting Options
1. The HW 200 can be placed directly
2. The HW 200 can also be placed inside the optional Tool Chest.
System Power Up
1. Insert the female end of the power cord into the AC Power
Receptacle on the rear panel of the power
source.
2. Plug the prong end (male end) of the power
cord into an appropriate 3 wire grounded AC
supply receptacle.
Setback/AutoOff Switches
AC Power Inlet
CAUTION: To insure operator and ESD/EOS safety, the AC
power supply receptacle must be checked for proper grounding
before initial operation.
NOTE: Ensure that the system is placed in a well-ventilated area. Fume extraction
equipment is recommended when melting solder or heating flux or flux containing solders.
Handpieces
The HW 200 can be used with any combination of TD-100 ThermoDrive Soldering Irons and MT-100
MiniTweezers. These handpieces are purchased separately. The part number for the TD 100 with Tip
& Tool stand is 6993-0242-P1 and the part number for the MT-100 with Tip & Tool stand is 6993-0243P1.
Handpiece Tip & Tool Stands
The Tip & Tool Stand is usually placed on the workbench next to the power source.
Adjusting the Angle of the Cubby
Thumb Screw
The angle of the TD-100 Cubby may be adjusted by loosening the angle thumb screw
slightly, adjusting the cubby to the desired angle, and tightening the thumb screw.
The MT-100 Cubby is not adjustable.
Handpiece Connection
Notice that the handpiece connectors on the HW 200 are red. Only plug in
handpieces that have the red connector.
To connect the handpiece to the power supply, refer to the figure to the right.
Connect the handpiece connector plug into the Power Receptacle in the
following manner.
1. Align guide on the connector with slot on power receptacle.
3. Turn the connector housing clockwise to lock in place.
Operation of the HW 200 HeatWise System
LED Indicators
The HW 200 requires the use of a Power Module. The Power
Module selects the desired heat/performance level for
operation. The HW 200 comes standard with two #7 Power
Modules. Additional Power Modules are available in
performance levels of 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7.5, 8, and 8.5. Please
refer to the Accessory Section for Power Module part numbers.
A heat level of 5 corresponds to a nominal temperature of 500
°F; a heat level of 6.5 corresponds to a nominal temperature of
650 °F, etc. Actual temperatures may vary slightly due to tip
geometry.
Verify the following:
a) Power cord connection between an appropriate AC
supply receptacle and the power source.
b) Handpiece connection to the power source.
Power Module Ports
c) Desired Power Module is installed.
If the power is turned on while a Power Module is not installed, or if the Power Module is removed
during operation, the system will turn itself off and the LED indicator light on the front panel will turn
red.
To operate the unit, please make sure the set-up procedure has been followed. Then follow the
procedure below.
1. If using the TD-100 handpiece, make sure the desired Tip Cartridge is installed. If using the
MT-100, make sure the desired pair of tips are installed.
2. Install the desired Power Module into the Power Port on the front of the unit that corresponds
to the appropriate handpiece channel.
3. The LED indicator will turn amber while the tip(s) is(are) heating to the desired performance
level.
4. Once the tip has reached the desired level, the LED indicator will turn green and the system
is ready to use.
To preserve tip life and save energy, the HW 200 system comes standard with Auto-Setback and
Auto-Off Features. These are pre-programmed for 30 minute Auto-Setback and 30 minute Auto-Off,
which can be turned off by the switch on the back of the unit. If the handpiece has not been used for
30 minutes, the channel will enter setback mode, the performance level will be adjusted to 3.5 and
the LED will blink amber. To exit Setback mode, place the tip in the sponge to load it thermally or
turn the Power Switch OFF (“0”) and then back ON (“l”). After another 30 minute period of inactivity
the channel will turn off and the LED will turn off. To exit Auto-Off mode, cycle the system power.
The Setback/Auto-Off feature can be turned off for each channel individually. Refer to the System
Power Up Section for the location of each switch. As received from the factory, this feature is
enabled.
