• How long do I preheat the PCB?
Always preheat the PCB (up to 120°C or between 45 – 90 seconds) to allow the heat to conduct through
to the component before introducing the top heat. With the 700W pre-heater the top of a small PCB will
reach 120°C in approximately 45 – 90 seconds. Larger PCBs will take longer to pre-heat. To check the
PCB/component temperature, use the hand-held IR temperature sensor to ‘look’ down at the
PCB/component from about 60mm away and at about 45° angle.
• How long does it take to reach reflow temperature?
After preheating the PCB up to 120°C, it should normally take about 30 – 45 seconds of heating with the
IR hand tool to reach reflow temperature (200-220°C). It is not so easy to measure temperature during
the reflow phase so therefore we use the electronic process timer to warn us when the reflow phase time
is over.
