Tornado INFRA Station

The Infra rework consists of two units; one is the Pre Heater and the second one is a
Hand Held unit.
The Pre Heater is used as a base on which the PCB is placed and kept in place with the
help of small magnetic foot.
The Pre Heater is used to preheat the PCB up to a suitable temperature from the lower
side. Approx mate temperature for preheat is 100 degrees which will display on the unit
300 in meter in the preheater
Once the PCB is preheated to the required temperature the Hand Held unit is used to heat
the required part to a higher temperature (sufficient to melt the solder) and the
required part can be removed.
Another new part can be also be fixed in the same way ? after proper application of flux
TIPS
The hand held unit should not be used at maximum temperature. The peak temperatures are
quite high and can damage the PCB.
Moreover different types of IC's require different working temperatures depending upon
size, if it is glued and various similar factors.
