3. Caution for LEAD-FREE soldering work
For this equipment, parts compatible with lead-free materials are used. Please observe the following precautions,
when performing any soldering work.
1) Use lead-free solder for substrates mounted with lead-free parts. If you use eutectic solder by mistake, solder will
not fuse well because of the difference in fusion point.
2) Fusion Point
Lead-free solder: 220°C
Eutectic solder: 183°C
3) Solder composition of Lead-free solder: Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu

(#: This mark shows the diameter of the solder wire.)
4) When working with lead-free solder always use a temperature adjustable soldering iron. Moreover, the power
consumption of the soldering iron must use from 25W to 75W.
