Simon, In a previous life, I came upon a maintenance tech that had an old vapor phase oven control cabinet half ripped apart for a main power problem. I asked him if he had checked to see if any of the E-Stop swtiches had been hit. One had been ac

I have a BTU International VIP98 reflow oven, running WINCON Version 2.00C on Windows 98. The light tower only lights green when the oven reaches temperature, and the other colours never light up. Do you know how to set the other colour lights to tu

GEB, Datasheets are usually just guidelines and most App. Engineers from paste companies will tell you that as well. You don't have to "copy exact" what they say, but rather set your oven to what gets you and your type of boards the best results. P

I am not familiar with the VIP98, but I have worked with other BTU models for several years. As I have posted in earlier threads: there is absolutely no way to tell whether your profile is correct unless you attach thermo couples to your board and ru

You likely will not get 10 years of service out of the Heller and it is certainly not as well built as the VIP-98. If those things do not matter to you and it's all about the money then you sound like the perfect Heller customer.
