My APS GF12 seems to have lost it's settings randomly last night, and it won't let me run any profiles unless it's autotuned. I've figured out the security password and can get into the tuning menu, but not sure what to do from here. Anyone know wh

Hi everyone, I just got a GF-12 oven that looks in good shape but it won't go into WORK mode because it needs to run a TUNE. I've read that this happens when the internal backup battery fails or after a specific time. A while back a member posted t

We had a gf12 and a 1200. I'm not sure what year they were. Sold them and got an oven with some horsepower. Our Novastar 8" wave solder machine still works well and is the reason we tried their ovens, but they just did't work out well for us.

APS hasn't replied yet, but past experience tells me they won't do anything without a significant fee. In the meanwhile, I got some info/assistance from someone else on this, and hoping it gets this working again. I'll find out later when I'm at th

I'm in the market for a low volume oven and so far I'm pretty disheartened with the availability of low volume ovens at a good price. It seems like the only high quality and reliable ovens are $3500+, which is basically out of my price range. I've

reash, Go directly to APS and get one of the APS GF-12 ovens. I have been using these for 15 years as a low-to-medium volume oven for general purpose reflow of CCAs up to about 12" by 12" with excellent results. I use them for BGA re-balling, underfi
