User Information and Instruction Sheet

Summary: This American Beauty^® Soldering System has been assembled for your convenience, in order to help eliminate confusion when ordering equipment to be used for most of your high capacity soldering and thermal management applications.

Description: System Description: This System consists of a Model 105A3 (100 watt) Power Unit, a Model 105133 Micro-Tweezer Handpiece and a Model 10519 Footswitch.

Power Unit Description: The Model 105A3 Power Unit, has a low-voltage, high amperage, variable output, isolated transformer. The output voltage is 0 - 2.65 VAC (with no load). The control knob reads 0 ?100% of output voltage. This Power Unit may be adapted to automated and fixtured production tooling. For more detailed information please read the Information/Instruction sheet included with the Power Unit in this Kit.
Handpiece Description: The Model 105133 Handpiece is a Micro-Tweezer style, dual Electrode, Handpiece. It is supplied with two nickel-chromium (.040"x 1/2", 1 mm x 12.7 mm)) Electrodes for small and micro soldering applications. It has a four-foot (1.22 m) 18-2 HPN, neoprene cable, with taper pin quick connect terminals for fast, easy connection to the 105A3 Power Unit (push in turning clockwise until snug) and padded handles for operator comfort. It is most often used to provide instant localized heat to create accurate, trustworthy solder joints in delicate soldering applications. For more detailed information please read the Information/Instruction sheet included with the Handpiece in this Kit.
Footswitch Description: The Model 10519 Footswitch is a rugged, industrial switch, (wired normally open), with a six-foot (1.83 m) 18-3 SJT cord and NEMA 5-15 P/R piggyback style plug/receptacle. This footswitch is often used, to better control the cycle time needed for an application.

Uses: This System may be used for a wide variety of delicate soldering applications. These uses may include, but are not limited to, micro-miniature setups, fine AWG wire processing, terminations, very small assemblies, multi-pin connectors, model railroading applications, printed circuit board components and various micro-soldering applications where space constraints may exist.

Please reference the General Operating Instructions for American Beauty^® Resistance Soldering Systems for more detailed operating instructions and guidelines.

Replacement Electrodes/Elements: Model 105134

Duty Cycle: The Power Unit has been rated to operate at a 50% maximum duty cycle. Do not operate beyond this rating.
WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE OF THE POWER UNIT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE POWER UNIT HOUSING FOR ANY REASON, DUE TO THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. ELEMENTS CAN GENERATE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HEAT WHEN POWER IS APPLIED. USE WITH CAUTION TO AVOID BURNS, FIRE OR OTHER POTENTIAL DAMAGE. NORMAL USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS LIKELY TO EXPOSE THE USER TO SOLDERS CONTAINING LEAD, WHICH IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS (OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM) OR OTHER PROPOSITION 65 LISTED CHEMICALS.
