8508D Hot-Air Rework Station

Thank you for choosing this type of Unsoldering Equipment with Hot Air. The product is designed for soldering and unsoldering without lead. Please read the User Guide thoroughly before use, and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Common parts
Nozzles specification and size indicate the IC size

Warning!!!
Use the machine, the following basic measures should abide, avoid electric shock or cause injury or damage caused by fires.

1. In order to ensure the personal safety, the machine work is completed, please unplug the power cord.
2. To ensure personal safety, you must use the original approval or recomm-endation of the parts, otherwise it will lead to serious consequences.
3. Machine failure must be by professionals or the company designated per-sonnel for repair.
4. This product is grounded three-wire plug,must be inserted within the thre-ehole grounded outlet, do not change the plugs or use ungrounded three adapter made it bad grounded.
5. Hot air gun or soldering station is open, its temperature are likely to reach 400 degrees. Do not use it near flammable gas, objects. Tube and the he-at emitted very hot, can burn the body, do not bouch the hot pipe and direct injection to heat the human body.
6. Hot air gun is turned on, do not leave the jobs site.
7. When the hot air gun opening do not install nozzle, the heat pipe and the nozzle must be cooling, Then installed the other nozzle.
8. Please keep inlet and outlet air flow, don,t have obstruction.
9. After used, remember that the cooling body, the handle should be released into the handle frame, then shut down the machine to sleep.
10. The machine welding will take smoke, please do proper ventilation.

850 Series Features

Characteristics

1. High-precision thermocouple testing the temperature and keep the tempera-ture. Dual operational amplifier logic control to ensure work stability. Design of anti-static de-soldering components to avoid static damage.
2. Using the latest technology (skeleton type)produced fever, good for improve work stability and reliability. And good for improve shocking proof and resist fighting performance ( the traditional process use quartz glass, when falling and shock will damage), heating up quickly and working life are longer than the traditional type.
3. At the same time, the introduction of new technology for gun airflow. Airflow of pump type or brushless fan type. Brushless fan type good for using big nozzle size, the air are soft. Pump type are using small nozzle size, the air are focus. This two of type are good for difference customer request.
4. Using pump type that life are long and noise are small. High – quality heating element in the same power efficiency can be doubled effect, good for extend the heating element working life and power savings. It is the real lead – free soldering.

8508D Series Features

1. 8508D series is improved from 850 series, it is inherits all the advantages of 850 series. Using microcomputer PID program control processor technology, precise digital to show the gun temperature. Program to keep track the air of actual temperature, the magic temperature compensation rate good for enh-anced temperature stability.
2. Air gun also set humanized manually and automatic conversion. Automatic, handle is equipped with automatic sensor switch. When take the gun handle that system can quickly enter the working mode. When put the handle on the holder that System will enter standby mode. Manually, when the air gun has been in working condition, the working environment for all kinds of real – time operating convenience.
3. System with automatic cold function, extend life and protect the hot air gun and pump.

Usage

1. Rework for a variety of components such as: SOIC, CHIP, QFP, PLCC, BGA, etc. (Especially for phone cable and welding cable split seat)
2. For shrink, drying, paint, adhesive removal, thawing, warm, plastic welding.

Operating Instructions

1. Put the gun handle on the holder.
2. Connect the power.
3. Equipment required nozzle (try to using bigger nozzle).
4. On ture (850 enter work state, LED shows “—“, rework station as standby (8508D shows).
5. Rotate the temperature control knob to set the working temperature.
6. Picked up the handle, the station will enter normal heat welding work station. Air volume adjustment knob to the right airflow, after waiting for temperature stability it can normal operation.
7. 8508B type of work is completed, the handle must be placed on the holder. And then the station will cut off the hot air automatically to send cold air cooli-ng heating mode. When the temperature less 100, LED display”—” that mac-hine will enter standby mode.
8. Long time no use must be cut off the power.

Note: If possible make use of low temperatures and large volume,that good for save heating element of the and safety disoldering IC chip.

Ser up the temperature and airflow

1. LED indication of hot air rework station: * Rotate the temperature control knob to the desired temperature of engrav-ed lines.
2. LED digital display microcomputer-based hot air rework station:
   *In the energized, rotating the temperature control knob temperature. The LED will display set temperature. After two seconds, real-time temperature display shows”—” into standby (The handle should be on the holder).
3. After set up the temperature, adjust the air flow to the right to working.

Explanation of symbols

1. Shows “—” mean the air temperature less 100° C, the station enter standby and the gun should be on the holder.
2. Shows”S-E” mean the station sensor have problem should be replaced the heater (Heating material and sensor components).
3. When working, the display temperature less than 50°C,and no longer to heat up, that the heater may be damaged and need to replace the heating element (heating material and sensor components).

Terms of Use

1. Hot air rework station and surrounding thg outlet may have a very high temp-erature, should be careful to guard against burns.
2. Heating, the handle must be on the holder, not be placed on work surfaces or other places.
3. Please keep the air gun not have obstruction.
4. After work, you must turn off the power, 8508D-type gun handle must be pla-ced on the holder, the machine automatically cooled to below 70°C (into sta-ndby), and them to turn off the power switch.
5. When used outlet should be distance with the goods at least 2mm, as per outlet to calculated.
6. As work requirements, choose the appropriate nozzle, different nozzle, diff-erent temperature.

Replacement the heating ele ment

1. When replace the heater ensure the gun cooled.
2. As picture, loosen the two screws on the handle.
3. Turns the handle shell lock wise until it comes off. And then remove the han-dle shell 2.
4. Remove the screws that fixed wiring board.
5. The wiring board in turn,apart from the heater wiring board connection cable, .pay attention to the connection location.
6. Remove the heat pipe heat body wrap of mica paper, careful not broken gro-und wire of the steel.
7. Using mica paper wraps well the new heater, inserted into the tube, the atte-ntion heater to install in place.
8. According to the original location of the connection to connect heater.
9. When the reverse process by open bottles and handle back.

Notice:

1. Replacement heater, be careful heater and thermocouple cable, don’t dama-ged.
2. Back to the loading handle shell 1, the handle shell fixed column fixed holes in steel.

• Machine through the standard tested, then the actual temperature of the aging test, part of the air gun steel barrel outlet slightly yellowing, are normal, hereby instruction!
