Connecting Wave TCs
The next screen will depict thermocouple
attachment for wave solder profiling. The
KICstart software utilizes two Wave TCs in
addition to the Air TC to collect wave
specific data.
One Wave TC is placed on the Right side of
the board and one on the Left side near the
leading edge of the profile board.
KIC recommend using high
temperature solder to connect both
Wave TCs.
The wave TCs will measure -Wave Dwell
time and Parallelism when profiling a wave
solder machine with the wave on.
Select the Forward Arrow button to continue.
The next screen will depict the placement of
the Wave TCs and instructs what slot/channel
of the KICstart to connect each Wave TC to.
It is very important to follow these
directions.

• Plug the Right-Wave TC into the #3
slot of the KICstart.
When you have properly connected your
Wave TCs, select the Forward Arrow button
to proceed.
