OPERATION

a. INITIAL SETUP
1. Connect hand-piece(s) to power unit output connector(s).
2. Insert your selected cartridge into the hand-piece.
3. Push the cartridge all the way until it seats.
For TATC cartridges, align the flat side of the cartridge shaft with the
•
opening in the handle. Push in the cartridge until it seats. The
cartridge is fully seated when the insertion mark is flush with the
handle. Do not push past this mark. Repeat for second cartridge.
4. Place hand-piece(s) into associated workstand(s).
5. Add distilled water to workstand sponge (sulfur free) if equipped.
6. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall socket of the rated input line
voltage.
7. To turn the unit "ON", push the power switch. NOTE: Unit must be
grounded, otherwise it will not work. Unit will not work in an electrical
network where an isolation transformer has been used.
8. Select the desired output using the output selector switch.
b. REPLACING ALL TIP CARTRIDGES
1. Make sure the system is turned off.
2. Pull out the cartridge using the Cartridge Removal Pad (MX-CP1). NOTE:
THE TIP CARTRIDGE MAY BE HOT. DO NOT USE METAL TOOLS
(PLIERS, ETC) TO REMOVE CARTRIDGES!
3. Push a new cartridge into the handle.
4. Place hand-piece(s) into associated work stand(s).
5. Push the power switch "ON". The new cartridge will heat up to temperature
quickly.
c. MX-PTZ AND TALON OPERATION
1. Clean, and then tin tips well once heated.
2. Ensure tips contact all leads on device, either
the bevel or straight portion of the tip can be
used. Use solder across the leads to create a
Thermal Bridge.
3. Squeeze tool. Wait for all leads to reflow.
4. Maintaining pressure, lift component.
d. MX-PTZ TIP ALIGNMENT

APPLICATION NOTES:

a. EXTENDING TIP LIFE
1. Each day, remove, inspect, and clean the cartridge shaft and handle using
denatured alcohol and a clean cloth. Stubborn flux deposits on the shaft (and
on the entire SMTC, PTTC & TATC tip) can be removed using a brass brush.
2. After you turn on the system, and each time you return the tip to the holder,
apply solder to the tinned surfaces of the tip. The solder protects the tip from
oxidation and prolongs the life of the tip.
3. Select the lowest temperature series tip cartridge that will do the job. Lower
temperatures decrease tip oxidation and are easier on the components being
