General Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the PACE model ST 20A Soldering System. This manual

will provide you with the information necessary to properly set up, operate and

maintain the system. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the system.

The ST 20A systems utilize the model PPS 15A power source which incorporates a

highly responsive SensaTemp (closed loop) control system providing up to 80 Watts

of total power to a single output channel.

The ST 20A systems are available in either the 115 VAC, 230 VAC or 100 VAC

version. The 230 VAC version system bears the CE Conformity Marking which

assures the user that it conforms to all the requirements of council directive

EMC 89/336/EEC. The systems package the power source with a selection of

accessories and functional aids. These systems are as follows:

ST 20A-SP - Consists of the PPS 15 power source (115 VAC, 230 VAC or 100

VAC version), SP-2A Sodr-Pen, SP Tip & Tool Stand and accessory kit. The standard

SP-2A Sodr-Pen (uses 3/16" shank tips) provides high capacity heating necessary to

perform thru-hole soldering and SMT component removal/replacement operations.

ST 20A-TT - Consists of the PPS 15 power source (115 VAC, 230 VAC or 100

VAC version), TT-65 ThermoTweez handpiece, TT Tip & Tool Stand and accessory kit.

The standard TT-65 ThermoTweez handpiece provides safe, one-handed removal of

a wide variety of components (PLCCs, SOICs, PQFPs, BQFPs, SMT Connectors

etc.) in a matter of seconds. Its lowtemperature, high capacity heating can remove

even the largest components quickly and easily.

ST 20A-PS - Consists of the PPS 15 power source (115 VAC, 230 VAC or 100 VAC

version), PS-50 Prep-Set and accessory kit. The standard PS 50 Prep-Set is a fully

integrated system for easily fluxing and tinning leads, wires and dressing soldering

tips, even pre-heating components before final soldering.

Other available PACE SensaTemp handpieces may be used with the ST 20A system

to perform a wide variety of advanced surface mount & thru-hole component

removal/replacement operations. These include:

SX-70 Sodr-X-Tractor Handpiece TJ-70 Mini ThermoJet Handpiece

TP-65 ThermoPik Handpiece

These handpieces require an air source. Any of these handpieces can be used if the

system power source is connected to a PACE ST 60 system (via PaceLink

Receptacle). Alternatively, a Ped-A-Vac III Foot Pedal may be purchased and

connected to a 60-90 p.s.i. air supply to provide a vacuum source for the TP-65 and

SX-70 air handpieces.

The following are safety precautions which personnel must understand and follow

when using or servicing this product.

1. To prevent personnel injury, adhere to safety guidelines in accordance

with OSHA and other applicable safety standards.

2. SensaTemp handpiece heaters and installed tips are hot when the

handpiece is powered on. DO NOT touch either the heater or the tip.

Severe burns may result.

3. The enclosed Tip & Tool Stand has been designed specifically for use

with the your handpiece and houses it in a manner which protects the

user from accidental burns. Always store the handpiece in its Tip & Tool

Stand.

4. Always use this system in a well ventilated area. A fume extraction

system such as those available from PACE are highly recommended to

help protect personnel from solder flux fumes.

5. Exercise proper precautions when using soldering materials (e.g.,

fluxes). Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) supplied with

each material and adhere to all safety precautions recommended by the

manufacturer.

6. The following safety precautions cover use of the PS 50 Prep-Set system.

a) The PS-50 Prep-Set heater and installed Pot-Tip (+ solder) or Preheat

Plate are hot when the Prep-Set is powered on and for a period of

time after power off. DO NOT touch either the heater, Preheat Plate,

Pot-Tip or solder. Severe burns may result.

b) Insure that the rubber heat shield (covering the heater) is in place.

Never operate the system without the shield in place. Severe burns

may result.

c) Turn the Power Switch off and allow the installed solder Pot-Tip or

Preheat Plate to cool before changing. Never touch a hot Pot-Tip or

Preheat Plate with bare hands.

7. POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD - Repair procedures on this product

should be performed by Qualified Service Personnel only. Line voltage

parts will be exposed when the equipment is disassembled. Service

personnel must avoid contact with these parts when troubleshooting the

system.

Safety

Set-Up

Set up the ST 20A system using the following steps and associated drawings. If you

have purchased a system which includes the TT-65 ThermoTweez handpiece or the

PS 50 Prep-Set system, refer to their Operation & Maintenance manuals for

applicable set-up instructions for those items.

1. Store the shipping container(s) in a

convenient location. Reuse of these

containers will prevent damage if you

store or ship the system.

2. Place the Power Switch in the “OFF” or

“0” position.

3. Place 4 of the supplied Rubber Feet on

the base of the power source. Remove

the paper backing and place in corner

indentations. Refer to illustration below.

Auto Off Safety System

The Auto Off Safety System removes power

from the connected handpiece after 90

minutes of handpiece inactivity. As

received from the factory, the feature is

Disabled (“2” position). The LED on the

front panel will illuminate Yellow in color

(with handpiece connected).

Refer to the description of the Auto Off Safety

System detailed in the “Operation” portion of

this manual.

To Enable (“1” position) the Auto Off feature,

perform steps 1-3.

1. Place the power source on a work

surface with the bottom facing up as

shown in the illustration.

2. Move the switch to the “1” (Enable)

position. During normal use, the LED

will now be illuminated Green in color

(with handpiece or PS-50 connected).

3. Position the system upright on a

convenient bench.

Set-Up

Tip & Tool Stand

If your system has been shipped with a Tip &

Tool Stand, perform the following procedure.

1. Place 4 Rubber Feet (packed with

small accessories) on the bottom

corners of any enclosed Tip & Tool

Stand.

2. If your system has been shipped with

a TT Tip & Tool Stand (for TT-65

ThermoTweez), install the bracket

using the enclosed mounting screws.
