AcaUTION:
Do not damage or remove the Tip ID bar code sticker.
Soldering tips have different thermal chara-
cteristics, depending upon their mass, shape,
and surface area. It should be obvious that the
tip temperature at idle will not be the same for a
fine tip as it will be for a heavy chisel tip, although
the set temperature may be the same for each
tip. The FM-202 processor incorporates the ability
to electronically compensate for tip geometry
variations using Tip IDs. Each FM-202 tip style
has a specific Tip ID; whenever a tip is changed,
the Tip ID should be entered into the FM-202 for
most effective process control.
There are two ways to enter Tip ID data into the
FM-202:
See below or page 6 of this manual. This proce¬
dure is the simplest and most common.
See Appendix A of this manual, when the Tip ID is
not readable for some reason.
How to read out the bar code of
the tip into the FM-202:
1. Insert the tip (connector side) into the pro¬
cess gate in the front of the station.
2. Insert the tip until the buzzer sound once.
The display shows l5-f I The LED indi-
cator will stop flashing. Now the tip identi-
fication number has been stored.
NOTE:
When the buzzer sounds three times is reading error, insert
the tip again. _ _
/jV^CAUTION:
Do not insert the tip opposite side or other incompatible tip.
ACAUTION:
When tip is inserting the FM-2027, the process gate cannot
read the bar code. If a tip insert into the process gate while
the tip is already in the FM-2027, buzzer will sound irregular-
ity. Remove the tip from the FM-2027 for reading the Tip ID.
