capabilities of the system. This is especially important when using large soldering
tips or other SensaTemp handpieces.
20
Operation
IMPORTANT
PACE recommends that you not read the “Set-Up Mode” section until after you feel
comfortable with system operation. Please read the following “Operation" section
thoroughly before changing the system settings.
Definitions
Please read and become familiar with the definitions of each of the following terms
which are used repeatedly in the following operational procedures.
AUTO OFF - Safety feature which turns power off (10-90 minutes, settable in 10
minute increments) after the system has entered Temperature Setback.
NORMAL OPERATION - Normal operating mode of the system in which the
Operating Tip Temperature is displayed.
OPERATING TIP TEMPERATURE - The true tip temperature at which the handpiece
tip operates at any given time.
SET TIP TEMPERATURE - The operator selected idle tip temperature entered into
the system memory.
SET-UP MODE - Mode of operation in which the operator can quickly and easily
adjust the system parameters (e.g., temperature limits, password, setback time).
TEMPERATURE ADJUST MODE - Mode of operation in which the operator can
quickly and easily adjust the Set Tip Temperature.
TEMPERATURE DISPLA Y IMPEDANCE (TDI) MODE - Stabilizes the tip
temperature shown on the LED Display by ignoring minor temperature fluctuations.
Displayed changes in temperature are delayed (impeded) for two seconds when a
load is applied to the tip. Two seconds after the load is removed, the displayed
temperature will begin rising to set temperature. Particularly useful in a production
environment for monitoring of set temperatures, since under most production
circumstances the temperature will not deviate.
TEMPERATURE SETBACK - System feature which, when enabled, will
independently set back the Set Tip Temperature to 177°C (350°F) after a user selected
period of handpiece inactivity (10 to 90 minutes, settable in 10 minute increments).
This feature is enabled (or disabled) in the Set-Up Mode.
TIP OFFSET CONSTANT - Specific value for a given handpiece/tip combination
upon which the system automatically calculates the correct Tip Temperature Offset at
any entered Set Tip Temperature. This value is the temperature loss (Tip Temperature
Offset) at 371°C (700°F) and is set in the Set-Up Mode. A value of 0-115°C (0-240°F)
may be entered in the Set-Up Mode.
21
Operation
TIP TEMPERATURE OFFSET - Difference in value between the temperature
measured by the temperature sensor (at the heater) and the true temperature of the tip
at a given Set Tip Temperature.
NOTE
As with any system, Set and Operating Tip Temperatures are only exactly equal when
the handpiece is idling (unloaded at equilibrium). During use, (i.e., under load) the
Operating Tip Temperature will usually be lower.
Password
The Password feature of the ST 85 system, when activated, will prevent
unauthorized alteration of stored system temperature parameters and feature settings
(refer to Table I, “Factory Settings”). If a Password has been installed, the LED
Display will display an instruction to enter the Password (a 5 key sequence of the
keys on the system front panel) when a setting change is attempted.
Once the correct Password has been entered, the operator can proceed to make the
desired setting changes. To reactivate the Password protection, simply turn the
system Power Switch off and then back on. The system is now in normal operation.
Refer to the “Set-Up Mode” section of this manual for instructions on entering,
changing or removing a Password.
Auto Tip Temperature Compensation
Differences between the temperature settings and true tip temperatures are negligible
when using Thru-Hole, single point desoldering tips. With any heating system
however, True Tip Temperatures can differ greatly from temperature settings when
using larger SMT soldering tips. This difference is called Tip Temperature Offset.
The ST 85 Auto Tip Temperature Compensation feature lets you set and display true
tip temperatures regardless of size and type of tip or handpiece. PACE recommends
the use of the Tip & Temperature Selection System booklet (PACE P/N 5050-
0251) as a guide to accurately set and maintain a true tip temperature for any size
and type of SMT tip. The booklet contains a listing of PACE tip information
including the Tip Offset Constant (for each tip) which must be stored in system
memory to ensure tip temperature accuracy. Refer to the “Set-Up Mode” section
of this manual for instructions on using this feature.
22
Operation
The ST 85 system is very easy to adjust and operate. The following instructions
detail system features and operation of the system. Also included is a "Quick Tour"
of system operation.
Information regarding changing of system options (e.g., T emperature Setback time,
Auto Off) is contained in the "Set-Up Mode" portion of this manual.
LED Display, Normal Operation
The LED Display provides a 3 digit display of temperature information. The LED
Display will show:
1 . A display of "888" on initial power up to
ensure that all LEDs on the display are
working.
2 . A display of the the software version of the installed microprocessor (e.g.,
"1-1") for 2 seconds on initial power up after the "888" is displayed.
3. Actual tip temperature of the connected handpiece during normal operation.
4 The tip temperature displayed will flash when the system is in Temperature
Setback.
5 . The displayed temperature will decrease and
stabilize at 177°C (350°F) when the system is
in T emperature Setback.
6 . "OFF" when the Set Tip Temperature has
been set to Off (below minimum set tip
