FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LEADNorms for lead in air

The following table shows the tolerable rangesof lead-in-air, as seen by different countries.

* time weighted average over 8 hours

** time weighted average over 40 hours

(a) = for inorganic lead and lead arsenate; 0.05 for lead chromate.

(b) = Interim standard to June 1986 for secondary plants, June 1991 for primary plants, when 0.05 mg/m3 standard becomeseffective. This standard is no longer an ambient standard, but a permissible exposure limit (PEL) standard, which in some areas ofsome plants may be attained by worker self-protection and/or administrative standards, subject to negotiation. When the engineeringcontrolled average limit standard (ECALS) under the original criteria equalled the PEL there was a de-facto ambient air standard butcompliance solely by engineering controls is no longer required.

(c) = Values for inorganic lead compounds, lead acetate, lead phosphate and lead sub-acetate arecalculated as lead. Value for leadchromate is calculated as chromate.

BURN HAZARDS

Liqu id Meta l - HotSurfaces Burn Hazard

The solder pot containsmolten solder at temperatures up to 343 o C(651 o F). Hot

solder causes serious burns. Always wearsafety protective clothing such as high

temperature gloves and safety glasses whenworking in or around the solder pot.

Solder Eruptions - BurnHazard

When a surface area onthe solder's surface becomes stressed orreaches its pasty range temperature, theupward force may result in a solder eruptionwhich may cause serious burns. Alwaysremain aware of this hazard when heating acold solder pot.

Always wear the appropriate safety glassesand protective clothing.

Hot Components andSurfaces - Burn Hazard

The preheaters, solderpot, rail guards, parts of the conveyor, andother exposed metal and glass surfaces arepotent ia l burn hazards to personne lperforming maintenance or operation.Components and sur faces can reachtemperatures in excess of 66 o C (150 o F)which may cause serious burns. Allow hotcomponents to cool whenever possible priorto performing maintenance. Always wearsafety garments or equipment when workingwith or around hot components.

Violent Reaction to HotSolder - Burn Hazard

Do not permit water, fluxor any other liquidous material to enter thesolder pot. A violent reaction results in theprojection of tiny droplets of hot solder andhot gasses into the air which may causeserious burns. Always wear safety garmentsor equipment when working with or aroundhot components.

VAPOR HAZARDS

Hazardous Vapors CanCause Serious Illness

D u r i n g t h e w a v esoldering process, it is normal for noxiousfumes or vapors to be produced as a result ofthe interaction between flux, solvent, solder,and heat being applied to the printed circuitboard. If inhaled, the noxious fumes cancause serious illness. Always maintainproper exhaust and wear the recommendedpro tec t i ve sa fe t y a r t i c les . Adequateprotective clothing consists of approvedsafety glasses, long-sleeved garment, acidresistant smock, heat protective gloves,approved steel toe safety shoes, and arespirator approved for use when workingaround noxious fumes or vapor.

FIRE HAZARDS

Flux and Solvent FireHazard

Keep flux solutions andsolvents away from sparks, flames andexcess heat. Ensure that product passingover the preheat section does not carry overexcess flux. Excess flux can drip on thepreheaters; the flux can ignite. Closelymonitor the wipe-off action of the fluxerairknife to ensure excess flux is removed.Keep a fire extinguisher specifically for useon fires of this type close to the machine.

Fire Hazard - Flux VaporsMay Accumulate

Ensure the sys temexhaust is on and operating. Hazardousvapors which are allowed to accumulatecould result in a flash fire, auto ignition of theflux and solvent or explosion. Fires of thisnature are extremely dangerous, and ifpersonnel are exposed to this hazard, thirddegree burns or even death could occur. If afire of this nature does occur, immediatelyturn off power to the exhaust system, asoxygen will fuel the fire.

This equipment may be configured to operatewith high voltage ranging from 230, 380, to480 volts. There is a risk of electric shockw h e n p e r f o r m i n g i n s t a l l a t i o n o rmaintenance voltage testing. High voltage

can shock, burn or cause death. Use extremecaution when performing voltage andamperage tests on live voltage. These typesof procedures must be performed only by alicensed electrician or electrical engineerfamiliar with testing live voltage.

High Amperage - DoNot Touch - can causeDeath

Electrical current used in the nitrogen flowcontrol unit can kill or cause other seriousin jur ies . Do not touch l i ve e lect r ica lcomponents inside the nitrogen electricalenclosure.

Always disconnect power prior to attemptingrepairs to the nitrogen flow control unit. Thisfeature must be installed or serviced by alicensed electrician or qualified electricalengineer.

NITROGEN HAZARDS

Asphyxiation Hazard

The air inside the systemcabinet or any enclosed

space being inerted with nitrogen removesthe oxygen from the air. The absence or lackof oxygen can cause asphyxiation, dizziness,headache, fainting or nausea. This presentsa hazard to personnel operating or servicingthe equipment. Always turn off the nitrogensupply and vent the system enclosure withair prior to performing any maintenanceprocedures.

Use Only Nitrogen orProcess could beaffected

Only nitrogen (4 ppm in purity or less) shouldbe used in the machine. Do not substitute orcombine other gases without first consultingSpeedline/ Electrovert and the gas supplier.Other gases could interfere with the processand introduce additional safety hazards.

COMPRESSED GAS HAZARD

Compressed Nitrogen -Excessive pressurecould cause explosion

of Nitrogen Flow Meters.

Do not connect the Nitrogen Flow Controlunit to a nitrogen source that exceeds 690kPa (100 psi). Exploding flow meters are apotential hazard to workers stationed in frontof the control panel. Compressed gas cancause projectiles, gas burns to exposedareas of the body, and asphyxiation. It isrecommended that nitrogen is delivered at aregulated pressure, at least 103 kPa (15 psi)less than the supply line pressure.

1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONSNo-smoking Signs

Post large, visible “NO-SMOKING” signs in thework area. Establish a means of monitoring andenforcing this regulation.

Fire Extinguishers

If your machine is equipped with an automaticfire suppression system, ensure that theextinguishing reservoir is filled and primedprior to operating the machine. If your machinedoes not have an automatic fire suppressionsystem, keep an approved CO2 fire extinguishernear the machine at all times.

Familiarize yourself with the operation and useof your fire extinguisher.

When extinguishing a flux fire, first turn off thesystem’s input power. Do not point theextinguisher directly at the flux or solder.

Breathing Masks

Ensure that dross removal operations arecarried out without exposing operators ormaintenance personnel to excessive airbornelead particles. All operators and maintenancepersonnel must be provided with an NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth) or MSHA (Mine, Safety and HealthAdministration) approved respirator which willprovide effective protection from lead dust andfumes up to ten (10) times the permittedexposure limit. Refer to your solder supplier'sMSDS's -Material Safety Data Sheets, forspecific breathing apparatus requirements foruse with wave soldering applications.

Safety Garments

Always wear protective clothing when required.Additional protective clothing is required whenservicing a hot machine or handling hotcomponents. Safety clothing consists of aprotective mask or safety goggles, hightemperature gloves, long-sleeved garment, acidresistant smock, and approved steel toe safetyshoes.

Operators must remove all protective clothingand wash thoroughly before eating, drinking orsmoking. Under no circumstances shouldeating, drinking or smoking be permittedaround the machine, or where lead is present.

Safety Data on Fluxes, Solvents, and other Chemicals

Never store flammable materials around thevicinity of the wave soldering machine. Heatfrom the solder pot, preheaters and sparks fromthe motors could ignite flammable materials.Never place items, flammable or not, on themachine.

This presents a fire hazard due to the operatingtemperature of the entire machine. Ensure thatthe Mater ial Safety Data Sheets for thechemicals being used in the machine are keptreadily available at all times. This data will beuseful in the event of an emergency.

1.3 SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR REMOVAL OF DROSS

Exposure to LeadHazard - Exposure toLead in any form may

cause serious health hazards.

Breathing lead dust, which is nearly invisible,can cause lead poisoning. Always ensure thesolder system ventilation is on and operatingat the specifications listed in this manualprior to working around the solder pot.

To avoid inhalation, wear the proper safetyapproved b rea th ing appara tusrecommended by the solder supplier for usewith wave soldering equipment.

PROCEDURE CHECKLISTUse the following procedure for handling and removing dross from the solder pot:

The dross container must have a lid and beclosed to prevent dust scattering duringhandling and transport of dross. Airborneparticles can be minimized by dampening thedross with water once it has cooled to roomtemperature.

Make arrangements to ensure that all thenecessary tools, respirators, and safetyequipment are available to remove drosswithout exposing operators to excessiveexposure to dross particles. Personnel must beprovided with protective garments and gloves toprevent contamination of personal clothing andhands.

The solder pot and the container to which thedross is transferred must be enclosed andunder effective exhaust ventilation. A methodshould be developed for dross removal withinthe enclosure. Where this is not practical, thepossibility of providing local exhaust ventilationshould be considered to minimize the escape ofdross particles into the atmosphere.

Under these circumstances, the operatorshould be provided with a suitable oral-nasalrespirator, which provides effective protectionfrom lead in the form of dross and exhaustfumes up to 10 times the permitted exposurelimit.

Know and abide by safety regulations.

Use a designated container.

Make advanced preparations.

Make sure the area is adequately ventilated.

Wear an approved respirator designated for the protection against airborne lead particulate.

Arrange for reclamation of the waste by an authorized reclamation facility that specializes in the handling of these type of materials.

Store protective clothing and wash thoroughly.

1.4 EXHAUST VENTILATION AND CLEANINGClean the exhaust ventilation system on aregular basis.

Because fumes generated during the normalwave soldering process contain lead particles,it is essential to install an adequate exhaustvent i lat ion system capable of removingpotentially dangerous lead emissions from themachine. Refer to the Technical Data Sectionon page 15 for precise data on the type andcapacity of exhaust required for the system.

1. Establish an exhaust filtration system. Afiltration system which is based onactivated carbon as a filter medium isrecommended. This system must beplaced in line with the exhaust ventingsystem so that the emissions created fromthe soldering processes are captured. Alsoensure that the units do not interfere withthe soldering operations.

2. Monitor the lead content of the air in theworkplace at regular intervals duringoperations. Check air quality on a regularbasis. Due to variables in the environmentsuch as opening or closing windows ordoors; changes in the movement of airthroughout the course of a working day, itis necessary to update readingsperiodically during operations.

3. On a scheduled basis, dismantle andclean the exhaust ventilation duct workand filtration media using the appropriatesafety measures for handling lead.Regular cleaning prevents contaminantbuild-up, reduces the risk of fire, andimproves the efficiency of your exhaustsystem.

On some Speedline/ ElectrovertSystems, wave soldering cannotbeg in un less the exhaus t

ventilation system is on and the widows anddoors are closed. These safety interlocksprotect the user against the escape ofhazardous fumes and provide safe operationof the system.Lockout/ Tagout Checklist

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION PREPARATION

3.1 RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONSThoroughly inspect the shipment whenreceived. If damage or loss is detected, enter alldetails on the freight bill or receipt and have itsigned by the carrier agent. Failure to follow thisprocedure may result in the carrier refusing tohonor the claim. The carrier furnished thenecessary forms for filing a claim.

When damage is not readily apparent until theequipment has been unpacked, file a claim forconcealed damage. Within 48 hours of deliveryand as soon as any concealed damage isdiscovered, furnish a written or telephonerequest to the carrier for inspection.

Keep all cartons, packing materials, andpaperwork. The carrier furnishes an inspectionreport and the necessary forms for filing theconcealed damage claim.

3.2 INSTALLATION PLANNINGPrior to performing installation procedures,review the contents of this manual.

Allocate sufficient floor space for efficientoperation and system accessibility from allsides. Refer to the system footprint drawingsupplied in the enclosed DocumentationPackage.

In selecting a site location, keep in mindrequi rements for fac i l i t y to equipmentconnections such as an electrical drop,compressed air, exhaust, nitrogen, entranceand exit conveyors.

Clearance behind the system is especiallyimportant s ince serv ice operat ions areperformed from the rear of the machine. Theadditional 2 m (6 ft) of space required at therear of the machine for the roll-out solder potstand is normally adequate. The same space isrecommended for the front and sides exceptwhere the sys tem is in - l ine w i th o therautomated equipment, i.e., auto insertionequipment or PCB (printed circuit board)cleaning equipment.

Install the system on a solid (anti-vibration),level floor, capable of supporting the machine’sweight. When fully loaded with solder theestimated maximum machine weight is 3087 kg(6800 lbs). Six (6) leveling feet support themachine.

When considering a site for installation, it isalso important to keep in mind the flammabilityof the materials (i.e., fluxes and thinners) usedduring normal operation and maintenanceprocedures. Provide adequate protection fromthese types of materials and their hazards forthe sys tem and opera t ing and se rv icepersonnel.

Allow additional space for the storage ofprocess materials such as flux, thinner, andsolder. The storage containers used, especiallyfor flux and thinner, should be remote and/orprotected to minimize the risk of a fire outsidethe wave soldering system.

FILL SOLDER POT WITH SOLDERSystem configuration determines the capacityof the solder pot. Capacities may vary slightly.

Bar, pellet, or ingot, 63/37 virgin solder isrecommended.

Exposure to LeadHazard – Brea th ingnearly invisible lead dust,

can cause lead poisoning. Prior to workingaround the solder pot ensure the soldersystem ventilation is on and operating at thespecifications listed in this manual. To avoidinhalation, wear the proper safety approvedbreathing apparatus recommended by thesolder supplier for use with wave solderingequipment.

• Systems configured with a single wave andpump require approximately 840 kg (1850lbs.) of solder.

• Systems configured with dual waves andpumps require approximately 82 kg (1810lbs.) of solder.

• It is recommended extra solder be readilyavailable. After running in a productionenvironment, solder level drops. Tomaintain the recommended solder level,add solder to the pot.

• Load the solder pot with solder (not all ofthe solder will fit into the pot until it ismelted).
