REFLOW TRACKER Surveyor 45
The Surveyor carrier frame, with three sensors (at right) and their plugs (at left) ready
to attach to the data logger which will lie within the frame in its thermal barrier. Side-
by-side sensor-plugs (PA0885) are shown; see text. The frame’s side-rails are shown
partially extended and with their side-plates in place.
Preparing the Frame
The carrier frame easily adjusts to the width of the reflow oven. If your
oven has a pin-chain, it is recommended to use this for supporting the frame;
otherwise, use the mesh-belt conveyor. If using the pin-chain...
• Push the side-rails in or out so that they fit on the oven’s pin-chain. The
side-rails will then remain in position; do not tighten their clamping nuts.
• For further flexibility in width, the side-rails are fitted with side-plates which
may be unbolted and removed. The side-plates can be fitted at two different
heights (using alternative fixing holes on the side-rails) to allow for variation
in clearance above and below the frame in different ovens.
WARNING
Take care not to trap fingers in the Surveyor frame when adjusting its width.
The thermal barrier lies within the central section of the frame or within the
barrier-retaining brackets which extend sideways from the central section. If the
brackets are not needed (and in order to reduce the width of the frame to its
minimum), they can be unbolted and removed.
