I''m sure I remember BTU telling me that the VIP series got the same contollers as the ancient TRS14's. Someone may want to verify this - but if correct you can pick up a TRS for beer money & rob the controller. A new 7 zone BTU Pyramax can be ha

Thanks for all the responses. BTU has now informed that the reason it is so expensive is the oven heaters need completely rewiring and some work in the transformer area etc is required. Also, we have to pay for engineering work for them to know wha

:o You wouldnt happen to have shares at BTU, Fastek? What you are replying is just what Kris was talking about. I wouldnt take it either. Customer service should be very important for any company. Imagine a broken oven, company coming to a stand

Hi everyone, We just picked up an old VIP70 oven and it is in need of more maintenance than we were told when we bought it so I'm working on a few issues. The main thing right now is linking the FCU controller to the PC. I've tried using both seria

Kris- You obviously need to become more self-sufficient if you are struggling to keep your reflow oven up and running. Reflow ovens are too simple to repair to get freaked out over them. It's not always the vendor's fault when the customer doesn

Seems we had similar issue years ago with our VIP 70. There are a series of 2pin axial fuses on the panel with the SS relays and contactors (I don't think it was over the FCU). Check each fuse with a meter; replaced ours and the e-stop cleared and th

one of my customers with a BTU VIP 70 has the following settings, 100 / 175 / 210 / 250 / 265 with conveyor speed of 18 ins per minute. They get a peak temp of 240~245C and time above liquidus of 220 C is @ 55 secs. Built in thermocouples should give

Found a broken wire in the data line and I thought that was it for sure but was not. Checked continuity of the data cable and it is ok now but still no comm. The embedded controller status window shows "send failures" but no "reply failures." Winco

I would really suggest staying away from novastar on their ovens- we had a really bad experience with two of their ovens being unable to maintain temperature properly. We ended up buying a used BTU VIP70 and it has been working out great. A Heller 18
