Burn In Procedure
If using a new soldering iron for the first time of it the heater has just been replaced, perform the
Heater Burn-In procedure in the power supply manual (or on the red tag on the handpiece) to
increase the life expectancy of the heater.
This procedure should be performed whenever a new handpiece or heater is connected to the
system.
PS-70/PS-90 Tip Installation
For maximum productivity and proper fit, install tips into your soldering iron when
the heater is hot. CAUTION: To avoid burns or potential injury, always hold the
handpiece with the heater pointed at an angle up to prevent injury.
Installing PERMAGROUND Tips
1. PERMAGROUND Tips should be inserted into the heater with the tail
of the tip pointing towards the heater.
2. PERMAGROUND Tips can be used once the tip has been fully
inserted into the heater. The set screw is not required to hold the
PERMAGROUND Tip in the heater.
3. If proper Tip orientation is required, the set screw can be tightened to hold the tip in
place. Also, heat transfer will improve when the set screw is used.
Installing Non-PERMAGROUND Tips
1. Insert the Tip fully into heater bore using the supplied Tip Tool.
2. Gently tighten the heater Set Screw.
3. Recheck the tip Set Screw periodically to insure that it remains snug.
NOTE: Periodically, clean the heater bore with a properly sized wire brush
(3/16" O.D. to insure optimum heat transfer and proper tip grounding when
non-PERMAGROUND tips are used.
PS-70/PS-90 Heater Replacement

procedure to ensure optimum performance and maximize the
life expectancy of the heater.
1. Allow the heater to cool.
