CAPABILITIES

Your new PRC 2000 is the most advanced, self-contained rework and repair system ever created for the service bench or manual production workstation. The case's T-slot channels allow you to configure PRC 2000 accessories to suit individual operator preferences. The new style Tip & Tool Stands and Hot Cubbies can be mounted to the T-slot channels or set up freestanding (with the purchase of optional "Stand Alone" cubby upgrades for Hot Cubbies). This offers great versatility when the unit is shared by several operators who may have different layout preferences.

10

PRIMARY CONTROLS

In the upper left hand corner, you will find the master POWER Switch which controls all power to the unit. Just to the right of the POWER Switch is a 4-position FOOT PEDAL Selector Switch which directs the action of the foot pedal connected to the FOOT PEDAL Receptacle (rear panel). This ensures that only one of the listed functions is activated by the foot pedal at any one time. The switch positions are as follows:

PH - Pulse Heat,

PP - Pulse Plate,

MC - MicroChine,

Figure 1. Primary ControlsPD - Paste Dispenser.

NOTE

Although vacuum and air pressure to air-operated SensaTemp handpieces is controlled by finger actuated handpiece switches, a second foot pedal can be connected to any Auxiliary (AUX) channel receptacles (rear panel) of the THERMAL MANAGEMENT CENTER to control vacuum or air pressure to these handpieces.

11

PULSE HEAT

At the lower left of the control panel you will find the PULSE HEAT section of the PRC 2000. The two AC jacks are for connecting the Universal Power Cord to the PRC 2000 system. The cord will accept several quick connect/disconnect handpieces including the LapFlo, ResisTweez, ConducTweez (optional) and StripTweez (optional) which can be changed within 2 seconds. Pulse Heat handpieces with nonsolderable, rapid heat up/cool down tips offer unique advantages in many SMT rework, conformal coating removal, soldering and auxiliary heating applications. With many Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) it is not only important to achieve the solder reflow temperature, but to control the way in which you arrive at that temperature. Many of the newer SMDs are very sensitive to thermal shock and overheating. The intrinsic slow temperature ramp-up (rise time) of the Pulse Heat handpieces provide an extra measure of safety for such components. Always consult your organization's specifications or the component manufacturer's guidelines. Some very sensitive components may require controlled preheating (e.g., with the PACE HotSpot temperature controlled heating surface).

Figure 2. Pulse Heat Section

12

NOTE

TheResisTweezresistancesolderinghandpiecebyitsverynaturemayhave a potential leakage voltage above 2mV. Its use should be restricted to soldering and auxiliary heating applications in which there is no risk of electrical over stress (EOS) discharge damage to sensitive components. PACE ThermoBand tips, which fit the ResisTweez, are specially insulated to keep leakage below 2mV.

The control knob located above the AC terminals (PULSE HEAT Output Control) controls the amount of energy delivered to the handpieces. The Green LED will light to indicate that current is flowing to the handpiece when the foot pedal has been depressed.

PULSE PLATE

The PULSE PLATE section located just to the right of the PULSE HEAT section allows the operator to safely replate

damaged, worn or repaired connectors, circuit contacts and edge connectors using simple plating solutions. The swab plating probe and ground clip connect to the terminals labeled “DC” while the control knob can be adjusted to regulate the amount of voltage applied to the area being plated. The Green LED will light to indicate that voltage is being applied when the foot pedal is depressed. The LED will shift from Green to Red if an overcurrent condition is reached. Contact your local PACE representative for information regarding the optional PE-210 SwaPlating accessory (P/N 7003-0002) to

the PRC 2000 system.

Figure 3. Pulse Plate Section

13

MICROCHINE

The MICROCHINE represents the latest PACE development in hand machining for the circuit board rework and repair. The self-contained motor handpiece connects to the PRC 2000 via a special connector. The motor unit can be actuated by a fingertip control switch or the foot pedal. A tachometer feedback loop between the motor and controller keeps the speed that you select constant as the load on the motor changes. Below and to the right of the MICROCHINE you will find a connection jack labeled “PROBE BRAKE” which offers additional control of milling and drilling operations. Connecting the probe to a conductive element where you wish machining to stop will cause the motor to stop immediately as soon as contact is made. This feature can also be used to protect other circuit elements (e.g., adjacent lands or circuit traces) when machining in the tight spaces often found on todays’ circuit assemblies. The LED will light Green when the unit is running and Red when the probe brake has been activated. The LED will shift its color from Green to Yellow when the motor has reached its maximum load. This is normally an indication that too much pressure is being applied to the workpiece. The control knob regulates the speed of the motor unit so that it can be easily set for the work to be performed. The MicroChine uses the same collet previously found in the PACE MiniChine systems, so that all existing bits will be interchangeable and features the same special static dissipative housing material found in all PACE soldering/desoldering handpieces. An optional chuck is available to accomodate variable shank diameter bits.

Figure 4. MicroChine Section

14

PIK AND PASTE

Located in the middle of the front panel, you will find the PIK AND PASTE section of the PRC 2000. The Pik-Vac feature provides a quiet and gentle vacuum source to the Pik-Vac wand for use in handling and placing your surface mount parts. Turning on the PIK-VAC Power Switch will cause a continuous vacuum to be made available to the pick. A variety of tip and vacuum cups are supplied to handle most surface mount parts. The Green LED will light to indicate when the PIK-VAC is running. There is also a low pressure auxiliary PIK PRESSURE Port located on the rear panel which can be used to operate low pressure accessories such as a sprayer.

The paste dispensing system occupies the right half of the PIK AND PASTE section of the PRC 2000 and can dispense a variety of solder cremes, fluxes, potting compounds and adhesives. The Paste Dispense air hose comes equipped to accept standard 10cc material barrels. The self-contained

pump supplies nominal 40psi (.28 MPa) of air pressure to the Figure 5. Pik And Paste Section syringe. Above the PASTE DISP Port, you will find a 2-

position switch labeled TIMED and CONT (Continuous). In the continuous (CONT) position the dispenser pump will supply continuous air pressure to the syringe while the foot pedal remains depressed (FOOT PEDAL Selector Switch in "PD" position). In the "TIMED" position, the control knob above the switch becomes active. Each depression of the foot pedal will activate the pump from 0.1 to 10 seconds. The LED will light

Yellow to indicate when the pump is running and will shift to Green when air pressure is being applied to the syringe.

NOTE

Whenever the FOOT PEDAL Selector Switch is in the “PD” position, the pumpwillperiodicallyrunforshortperiodstomaintaininternalpressure. The pump will continue to run (Yellow LED lit) while the system recharges.

NOTE

As with any dispensing system, when thick viscous material or solder paste is to be dispensed, ensure that the material is fresh, has been stored properly and is at room temperature as per supplier's recommendations.

15

THERMAL MANAGEMENT CENTER

The THERMAL MANAGEMENT CENTER occupying the right 1/3 of the front panel is the heart of your PRC 2000 system. This microprocessor based multi-channel center can control up to six devices at one time. To the left of the Digital Readout are the three LEDs which indicate the "Current Channel" (i.e., the channel whose temperature information can be adjusted and is displayed on the Digital Readout (CH 1, CH 2 and CH 3)). Below these is the Green AUX (Auxiliary) LED. When this LED is lit in conjunction with one of the channel LEDs, the Digital Readout displays temperature information of the three auxiliary channels located on the rear panel. To the right of the Digital Readout is the °F/°C Key which allows the operator to switch instantly between a ° F and ° C display. Located just below the Digital Readout is an array of five keys. In normal operation, these keys control channel selection, tip temperature and tip temperature offset settings. The two keys with up and down arrows are used for scrolling the temperature and offset settings up and down. The LEDs located above the SET and OFFSET Keys normally indicate which function is being adjusted. In Calibration (CAL) Mode, these same keys are also used for entering, setting and clearing the password features as well as adjusting temperature parameters and system set-up. By entering the tip temperature offset and the tip temperature, the true tip temperature will be displayed on the Digital Readout. All these features will be discussed in the operation section of the manual. Below the keys are three receptacles for attaching any three low voltage SensaTemp handpieces in any configuration up to 100 watts/channel (300 watts total) power. There are three additional receptacles on the lower left section of the rear panel. These will accept up to three additional, externally powered, devices which are temperature controlled by the THERMAL MANAGEMENT CENTER. As an alternative, any of the rear panel receptacles can accept a foot pedal which will control the internal vacuum/pressure pump in addition to using the finger-actuated switches found on the SensaTemp handpieces. SensaTemp handpieces available for use with your PRC 2000 include:

SP-2A Sodr-Pen Soldering Iron,

SP-1A Sodr-Pen Soldering Iron,

SX-70 Sodr-X-Tractor Handpiece,

TT-65 ThermoTweez Handpiece,

TP-65 ThermoPik Handpiece,

DTP-80 Dual ThermoPik Handpiece,

TJ-70 Mini ThermoJet Handpiece.

Just to the left of the three SENSATEMP receptacles is a grounding jack which will accept a standard banana plug. This can be used for grounding the operation, the work or additional equipment. To the right of the SENSATEMP receptacles you will find the SNAP-VAC Vacuum and Controllable PRESSURE Ports. The SNAP-VAC Port (bottom) should always have a VisiFilter attached in order to protect the vacuum pump from any ingested material and to help muffle noise when the motor is running. The Controllable

PRESSURE Port (top) is used to supply air to the Mini ThermoJet handpiece. The rate of delivered air flow 16
