To replace filters, slide the collection chamber back until the latch locks, then remove it. Connect the vacuum line to the vacuum port on the main unit.

Tip Selection
Select the appropriate tip (cartridge) for your application. Refer to the table below for part numbers and dimensions.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive – WEEE (2002/96/EC)
When this product is no longer required, if it cannot be re-used, do not dispose of it as unsorted municipal waste but appropriately recycle the product. In Europe, please contact your OK International distributor who can advise the recycling options available (www.metcal.com).

WARNING
With power applied, the tip temperature can be > 300°C. Failure to observe the following precautions may lead to injury to users or damage the equipment:

• Do not touch any metallic parts of the hand-piece
• Do not use near flammable items
• Do not use unit for any function other than described in this manual
• Use only genuine MFR replacement parts
• Use in a well ventilated area
• Do not use the equipment with wet hands
• Connect only to properly grounded outlets to prevent risk of electric shock.
• Always place hand-piece back into the workstand to prevent accidental burning of oneself or surrounding objects.

Although the systems offer superior EOS (Electrical Overstress) protection, periodic checks of the instrument cord should be incorporated into standard operator maintenance procedures.

Maintenance of Desolder Tool
To change coil assembly remove screws (Fig. 1), replace with part number MFR- HDCA. Replace front seal part number AC-SK1 if worn. Disposable Collection Chamber Cartridge MFR-DC10 (package of 10) MFR-DC100 (package of 100)

Replacing the Vacuum Port Filter on the MFR-PS1300

1. a. Turn the filter cover anti-clockwise until it stops then pull to remove.
2. b. Remove old filter (use tweezers). Insert new filter, (AC-VPF.)
3. c. Reinstall filter cover, push and then turn clockwise to lock.

Use part number MFR-DC10 for replacement chamber cartridge, flux filter and in-line fume filter. To ensure good vacuum check all filters, hoses, coil assembly seal and desolder cartridge for blockages.

LED Indications and Meaning

Auto-Sleep and Auto Off Functions
To prolong tip life, MFR systems with a soldering hand-piece (MFR-H1-SC2, MFR-H2-ST2) include an “Auto-Sleep Workstand” (WS1). When the hand-piece is placed into the workstand, the “Auto-Sleep Workstand” immediately reduces power to the hand-piece. All MFR systems have an “Auto Off” Function. The “Auto Off” Function will be engaged when the hand-piece has been idle in the sleep stand for a period of two hours. The channel LED indicator light will go from green to Off. The “Auto Off” Function can be reset by cycling the power switch.

SmartHeat® & Calibration
SmartHeat® technology establishes and retains heater idle temperature by virtue of Curie effect inside the heater core. This phenomenon occurs at the atomic level and consequently idle temperature cannot shift over time nor can it be altered by the operator. Accordingly the system requires absolutely no calibration.
